Emry 38 Weeks

So we're finally nearing the end and soon we'll have a fun baby boy to hold and spoil and love. I can't wait. Literally! We have a projected date of the 25th that we know I'll be induced but hopefully Emry decides he loves his mom and wants to meet her sooner. Other than counting down the days, praying that each pain is going to be a contraction that means labor is finally starting, we've been helping out my Mom. Her house up here in Clearfield finally closed last week so they have been cleaning like crazy to try and get the house ready so they can move by the end of the month. They decided to paint and put down carpet before they move so it'll feel fresh and clean again for the proud new owners. Honestly we have no new news because all we can think about is getting the baby out and getting no sleep. Yes we are actually excited about this because it means we have our son in our arms!!! We still have no plans or dates for the blessing and sealing but hopefully we'll figure that out soon and can make plans for family to come. I can't wait. Hope everyone is enjoying the two feet of snow!!!

Baby Shower 2009

We'll start with a recap of the week. We spent the week cleaning and finishing decorating some of the apartment. We've been trying to get things wrapped up and ready for Emry to arrive. I had my 36 week appointment on Thursday and found out that we are going to have him two weeks early! So for sure we're inducing on the 20Th if he hasn't come on his own by then. I am so excited to know that I only have eleven more days for sure. We almost thought he was coming Yesterday but turned out to be a really long and painful day/night of fake contractions. I'm so incredibly sore today.
So we got most of the house ready and just finishing up the baby room and waiting for his crib and play pen to arrive. I'm so excited to hold my baby soon. So is Devin! I love that he has so much enthusiasm to hold his baby boy. I'm so blessed to have a husband like him. Oh and he's been such a great help since he's been doing all the cleaning, building and heavy lifting these last few weeks. Such a big help!
Saturday was my baby shower that my best friend Barbs threw for me. It was so much fun to have most of my friends there and to play games! We had food and cake too! YUM!!! She did such a fantastic job on the shower. I haven't felt so good in such a long time. My friends actually do like me!!! LoL unless you've been pregnant you won't get that last line. You think everyone hates you.
We got some pictures and video of the shower but unfortunately not a single one is anyone looking at the camera. So I won't embarrass anyone by putting up funny pictures of people. But just remember I have them......JK
Oh and before the Shower, My mom, Barbs and I went and had a pedicure! It was fun to sit around and be pampered while we talked. So much fun!!! I loved Saturday!!!
Then Painful Sunday.....click click deleted from memory

So now we'll be continuing to finish Emry's room and getting things built for him then I'll have a picture of his room. AND AND AND if I'm lucky....pictures of EMRY!!!! YAY!!!!

February 3, 2009

So tomorrow is a huge huge day!!! My husband will officially be a quarter century old. Ask him if he's excited. He doesn't show it but I know he is. His mom got him this big tool set for his birthday and he just sat and stared at it last night. He can't wait to open it! I gotta find a tool box to put the tools in first. We decided not to do birthday gifts this year for each other because of our budget but I'm gonna sneak a little something something home and wrap for him. We're also going to get Mario Kart as a gift from family so he's stoke about that......and so should Barbara!!!

It's also the anniversary of our first kiss. I loved that day, he accidentally told me he loved me too but I just teased him about it and didn't take it for real. Who knew he really did!!!

So on Saturday I was on my way down to play with my mom and she called and her blood pressure was super super high so I rushed her to the ER as soon as I got there. She's alright thank goodness, just had a touch of vertigo but let me tell you, the medicine they gave her made her so entirely doped out, I couldn't stop laughing. I witnessed my mom stoned and in her happy place. It was awesome. Even more awesome that it helped her feel a little bit better.

While I was driving down there thought, I received a phone call and was told Devin and I had won a trip to San Diego! It includes airfare and hotel for 2 nights. I was excited! So that's what we're doing tomorrow night is picking up our package we won which included a gift card to olive garden and a gas card. So we're going to celebrate Devin's day by going to dinner. We're excited. He might get a paid day off as well! We're hoping he gets that.

Nothing new has happened this past week except I got word from the doc that I have free range again as long as I listen to my body and rest when I need to! I'm thirty six weeks so in eight more days Emry will officially not be considered premature if he makes his debut so by all means start praying that he'll come out! He's already 6 pounds so he'll be plenty big by then. I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore!!!!

Happy Birthday to two of my most incredible friends!

Anna Beck!!!! MOVE BACK TO UTAH NOW!!!
and
Liesel Moultrie!!!! remember the one year we went to Callahan's for your birthday and like five guys showed up that you had dated and wanted you bad. ha ha it was funny.

I love you both!!!

Emry 35 Weeks

Alright it's been a little while since I've posted I think. I'm surprised I haven't been yelled at to write yet....jk

Last night around 10 I stood up and demanded that Devin take a picture of me with my cell phone. He did with one eye open. Did I forget to mention he was already asleep. oops. But I couldn't stand not having a picture in 5 weeks!!! I don't even have a mirror so I have no clue what I look like below my neck! Anyway here's the picture. It's not very good quality wise and I officially think I am very very fat again. My arms look so gross. But I look more pregnant which is a good thing. My tummy isn't really growing out anymore. It's growing sideways. Weird to imagine, but it is. Which just adds to my anxiety of I'm fat! thinking. Devin is constantly getting mad at me for saying that I am, but I feel so gross. 5 more weeks..........

This last weekend was my birthday so my mom and her husband came up and took us to dinner on Saturday night to celebrate Devin's(FEB 3) and my birthdays. It was so much fun!!! We ate then came home and introduced the Wii to them. They had a blast and I had a blast watching them. Then it was time for cake and bedtime. Then Sunday arrived. I like to stay up until midnight going into my birthday for some fun reason. Not to do anything special its just fun. I fell asleep this year. I was very sad. But Devin woke me up and told me happy birthday. I was happy again. Then he brought me Dr. Pepper in bed and gave me the greatest massage of my life. We just relaxed the whole day. It was fantastic. I love my husband so much. It's been a year since we started dating so we're having fun talking about on this day....such and such happened. His birthday was our first kiss so we have lots to celebrate that day. I can't wait! Okay I think I am rambling on and on now....

Thanks Mom for the Cake and presents! We love you and can't wait for you to move closer!!!

Forgotten...

I can't believe I forgot the biggest thing I have been looking forward to for ten months now!!!! Devin and I will finally be getting sealed!!!! We're so excited to take little Emry to the temple and seal our little family together. I can't believe I forgot....Bad Wife!

Thats all folks

Emry 32 Weeks

I'm not counting down or anything.....

We still haven't retrieved our camera from wherever it's hiding in Logan so I have the ultrasound pictures from my doctor visit on Monday. If you look at the top picture enough times, you'll start to see Devin in the baby's features! Cool Huh! Devin was able to come to the visit and meet our doctor so I was very happy about that. I go back again on the 19Th. We're definitely getting closer to truly amazing changes!! I'm so excited!

On the news front, Devin started working today. Yes, he's back at FedEx. He doesn't enjoy the job but he got the route he wanted at the pay he wanted so hopefully that makes up for me making him go back to FedEx. I'm a lot less stressed knowing he has a job while he looks for whatever he really wants to do. Well as long as I don't have to buy any more snowmobiles.

My mother lives down in American Fork currently but is buying a house close to where we live in Clearfield so I am super excited to have help so close by when the baby comes. I am extremely scared of being a first time Momma without my own Momma there to tell what the heck to do with a baby!

Other that this still being the sick season, not too much else has happened. We did finally make our first of the expensive baby purchases. We got a Graco infant car seat. I love it! We figured if we buy the expensive things one at a time we won't notice the big hit to the income as much.....fingers crossed that we actually don't notice...ya I know

We went down to West Valley last night to have dinner with some of my girlfriends at Applebee's. It was so much fun!! I am trying my hardest to get in as much time with people now because I know I won't want to go anywhere once we have to lug around baby crap along with our own stuff. At least for the first couple months.

Things I'm looking forward to:

My sister coming to visit in March

My mom moving closer

No more weird alien feelings in my tummy

To hug Devin without being two feet away from him cuz of the basketball in my tummy

To walk without waddling

Not being HOT anymore

Be able to take my allergy pills without worrying

Fitting into my old clothes

Cuddle with my husband in bed without feeling a pull on my sides

To hold my little baby in my arms.

Things I'll miss:

Being able to chew things that are cold. I have uniquely super sensitive teeth normally.

Having whatever food I want and still loose weight

I'll still be missing actually having sleep

I guess I won't be missing all that much! 8 MORE WEEKS!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Well the end of the year went by very quickly for Devin and I. We spent time at his parents and my mothers house over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was great to hang out and relax and eat some really really good food!! I do have some pictures but Devin has misplaced(Hopefully!) our camera. We spent the rest of the week looking for non-existent jobs for Devin. Seriously NO ONE is hiring. Not even the usual places you can count on like Convergys and Call centers!! We went to employment agency one after another. Devin would walk in and be handed a business card and come back out with NOTHING!!! I was astonished! Nothing!!!. I guess there are jobs out there but without ten years of experience in dough making, you're out of luck. Yes that really is a job DOUGH MAKING!!!
So that's been our exciting last few days. We bought our vacuum finally so we spent last night cleaning up and organizing the apartment a little more and took down our Christmas tree. Oh man does it feel better to have clean floors and a little more open space! I can't wait to get all our pictures and curtains hung up. Less stuff in boxes=more space!!! We fell asleep early and set an alarm to watch the ball drop which I missed because I couldn't open my eyes. Ironic huh. Then I kissed my husband and attempted to go back to sleep......ha ha I wish!! 5 am was soon around the corner and I sent my husband off to snowmobile again. I hope he's having fun.
I hope everyone is excited for a new year that will definitely be bringing lots of changes. One thing that keeps playing over and over again in my mind is we don't know how much time we have left to enjoy our lives and the many blessings we have. I am very thankful for my beautiful growing family, my friends, and the Gospel. Without these I would be in a hole. Probably a very clean hole, but still a hole. I love you all. Thank you for being a part of our lives. :)
