36 Weeks and counting....

So I apparently suck at blogging and pictures. I just found Christmas pictures on my camera? Have a seriously been that busy or lazy? Anyway it was fun to go through all the video's and pictures of christmas and Emry's birthday and this Easter.

This was christmas making our first house together. Yes Devin put a snowmobile on the roof out of licorace. First he's carving them into pumpkins, then on my gingerbread houses next he'll be making birthday cakes!

Only picture I got with him looking at the camera. This the Easter egg hunt in Green River that was way crowded and Em got one egg before I stopped him from going into the crowd. I was terrified of him getting trampled by all the ADULTS pickin up the eggs! UGH

As I talked about before here is the crib we got because of the recall. I haven't decorated her room yet but at least it's painted and the crib is put together! Yes I did it ALL by myself too.

I was having a horrible day. Not just bad but the worst day I had had in months. Emry was frustrating me so much, my body hurt, I just wanted to cry and ended up yelling at the top of my lungs in the bathroom. Yes I scared Em and he came running to see if I was ok. Then hit me. BAD DAY!!! I finally got Em to go to sleep and laid down myself to take a much needed nap( I think I was at 60 hours of no sleep at this point), DING DONG! UGH I was soooo mad. it happened just when you are about to be dead asleep so of course you can't go back to sleep. I didn't get it and ended up talking to my sister who told me I should go check the door. I did and this is what I found....

She sent me tulips! No she didn't predict that I was going to have a horrible day that day it just happened to be perfect! That's why we're sisters and best friends. So I cried and it made the day a little better, well until Emry woke up and proceeded to hit and kick me and make life more miserable anyway he knew how. Oh well I love my tulips!!!!

Emry running across Grandma Shinrock's yard on Easter morning. It took a lot of convincing to keep him picking up his eggs and treats. He really just wanted to play play play. We celebrated Easter in Utah this year with my mom. It was fun and Devin and I were able to spend Saturday together for our Anniversary(sealing). We went to Draper temple, Ikea, Texas Roadhouse, and a few more errands. The day was VERY VERY long but worth it to spend that much time alone with Devin.

I am 34 weeks in this picture. She has dropped drastically since this picture. I still feel huge! I am now 36 weeks. 3 Weeks to go. We're inducing on May 20th in Utah. I can't wait. Yes I am literally counting the days and marking them off on my calendar. We have had a lot of things we've been trying to get done. Now that sledding season is over, Devin has been able to get a few things done on the house which means I have been able to get more done on the house. I am really close to being able to decorate shellie's room, though I should probably do Emry's first. We have a little more painting to do upstairs and a ton of touch ups and then all our big projects will be done! We're not messing with finishing the yard this year,. Devin build a makeshift fence to keep the kids on the grass and in eyesight when they play outside. That's all I care about. We're excited for more sun, and less wind so we can roast marshmellows and enjoy our backyard. Someday we'll have a BBQ grill.....

Coming up is my baby shower this weekend(Thank you Ali and Leslie!) and the next weekend is graduation in Logan. After that it's two weeks of torure of nothing to do but wait for baby day.

I think I have caught myself up now(as far as I remember) which isn't much these days!

Something NEW!

So I just had to relay my good news! So last summer we bought a used crib at a garage sale and slowly have been sanding it so we can restain in NOT RED. After about 24 hours of work put into this crib, I decided maybe I should look up recalls again. Yup it was recalled! Oh so much work down the drain! BUT I was able to take it to Walmart and after hours of pleading with them they exchanged it for a new crib. It's not quite as nice as the one we got at the garage sale but holy cow its new!!! I don't have to paint it or sand it or do anything!!! We haven't had anything at all new for babies(except Emry's Mattress) so its sooooooo nice to have something pretty and new for once! Once I have it put together I'll start decorating Shellie's room and get some pictures up!!! YAYYYY!!!

So I have needed to update my blog for while with something interesting but I just don't seem to really want to be on the computer much but here you go. We've had a few things going on recently but nothing too interesting. We'll start with some pictures:

Daddy and Emry goofing around after church. Daddy is so proud of his thug man! This picture is growing on me!

We got to celebrate Emry's birthday with some of his friends. He did great at blowing out his candle!!

This picture seems really weird but Emry is giving baby sister Shellie(we think her name is) kisses. It was really cute and I look really really big here. I was probably 29 weeks here.

This last weekend I was able to do the Bountiful Baskets that a friend told me about. This is the food we got for 15 bucks! I was impressed. I have already used the spinach and tried the grapefruit and mango. Things I would never ever buy or normally try. I'm excited to make the asparagus for Em tonight and as soon as I remember to buy flour at the store I'll be making zuccini bread. Hopefully we like it. It was also fun to go and volunteer at the event. I have NEVER gone to do something by myself since Emry was born! It was nice to be alone and actually doing something none errand like!

IT'S COMING!

May 7th I finally get to graduate from college FOR REAL!!! I finished my class yesterday though classes don't end until May 5th. I am anxiously awaiting my diploma to be in my hand!!!

Devin and I celebrated 3 years yesterday! We went out to our favorite restaurant on Saturday and spent the whole day doing fun things for us and Emry. It was AMAZING to actually have Devin home on a Saturday! I can't wait for snow season to go away, granted it means that he'll have to start working on trucks and I STILL won't see him but at least he won't be gone alllllll day long hours away!

In the next couple weeks we'll celebrate our Temple anniversary as well. Hopefully we'll actually get to go since we pretty much haven't gotten to go since that day. My awesome friends are throwing me a baby shower at the end of April so I have that to look forward to as well. Then Graduation then I'll be staying the final 2 weeks of pregnancy in Utah. We're inducing on May 20th! It's nice to have a day to look forward to! I am 32 weeks almost right now. Hopefully it goes by fast!

Oh I was able to get Emry's room all painted up this last week too. It literally was a 5 day project for me. Man were my arms hurting after all the taping and prep work, then the actual painting. Now we just have to finish the crib and the one hundred little craft projects on my list and we'll be ready for baby! That's all for now....

Baby Girl Anderson

Here's our baby girl!

To me these pictures are so totally gross looking but there she is. She's not sucking her thumb but has her hand up to her mouth. She has been like this in every on of the the ultrasounds so far. In the picture that I have of Emry like this, it's gross too, but now when I look at it after he was born, it really does look like him. So hard to imagine that my baby girl will kind of resemble this image someday.


This is my favorite picture. It cracks me up every single time cuz of the arrow and GIRL! lol we've known forever that she's a girl because man is she NOT shy. She has them spread every single ultrasound too. The technician was all.....oh man you better keep watch on this girl!!!



And of course the cute feet picture. I'm getting very excited to have a girl finally! Not to play dress up and make her girly and stuff but just to have something different then so much freaking testosterone around.

We don't have a name and in all reality we probably won't until the baby comes. Devin doesn't seem to want to give us the time of day to even discuss looking for names so if that keeps up then I'll be naming her and he'll have to deal.

Pregnancy is going good for the most part. Since our furnace got fixed and we aren't being poisened anymore, I haven't been throwing up or had migraines. I have been forgetting most days that I'm pregnant. However that has come to and end. I swear she grew twice the size overnight and gained a severe kick and punch. She sits really low so it's very painful to have her moving around so much. Emry was up much higher and never really kicked my ribs. It always felt like he stuck his arm up between my ribs and wiggled it around like you would in water that would make waves inside me. Just uncomfortable but not nearly as painful as when this girl moves.

We are 23 weeks and a few days now so we're getting closer. It was going by very fast but at the second seems slow. I have had to drive to Utah literally every single week for the past five weeks. I get three weeks off and I'm very excited! Mostly because......

Emry is fine! He had a couple visits to primary's hospital and this last visit the Dr called back and said he couldn't find the hole. I am very happy though I have no idea what that means for his heart murmur which he definitely has? Just very happy no surgury!!!! He had a rough day after the hospital and it was very hard for me to see my baby unconsious but he's a champ!

So no we're counting down the days until May, we have a lot going on until then, Devin's birthday is this week, then Emry at the end of the month, then our anniversaries, not that they'll be anything special because Devin won't even remember or care but at least we'll mark off one more year. Then the baby will be here to meet us! Happy Day

Sorry this turned into my journal reading but I haven't gotten this down anywhere else so sorry about the boring blog!

"Saintlike... holy, holey, geddit Fred?"

Leave it to me to make a joke to start but there ya go. Extra points if you knew that was from Harry Potter.

On Friday I took Emry to Primary Childrens Hospital to have his Heart Murmur checked out. He's had it since he was born and it never went away like all the doctors thought it would. Sadly it progressively got worse and he rose up a couple stages( kind of like cancer one being mild curable cancer to 5 being it's spread throughout your body). There are a lot bigger scale than five numbers though for the heart since there are different chambers etc. Anyway he got a couple tests done and the Cardiologist listened to his heart and has determined that Emry has a hole in his heart.
DEVESTATION hits me. I wasn't expecting that but I kept my composer and didn't cry. I have to take him back on my birthday(25th) for him to have a sedated echocardiogram done to find out the location and size of the hole. Depending on those results, we'll know when he'll need to have surgury and what kind. I'm so sad. I don't want my baby boy to have heart surgury. I feel like I have failed. Like drinking stupid Dr. Pepper when I was pregnant caused this. Ugh I hate this feeling. The tears are coming so I better end this blog.
