Holy Cow!

At least that's what I'm feeling like these days! I am in my 9th month, weighing in at 140 lbs, with just 3 weeks to go until my due date. I am terrified of what is to come, but women have been doing this for centuries! (that's what I keep reminding myself) We are both excited to be parents, and kinna nervous too! We will be responsible for raising another person, which is a crazy concept to imagine, but nonetheless we can't wait.

We have almost everything ready and set up for our little baby. This weekend we put together the swing and bouncer, and went to buy all the little needed things like a thermometer, etc. This week I'm planning to get my labor & delivery bag packed so I'll be ready to go just in case. As far as the nursery, we just need to re-arrange the furniture how we want it and hang up a few things on the walls, I'll post a picture of it all set up once we're done.

I have also began to prepare our kitty for all the baby contraptions so she can be used to them by the time we bring the baby home. She is a very curious little thing, so I'd rather her check them out now before the baby is inside them. So far she has done great, she hasn't tried to jump into the crib or anything for that matter, so I think we'll be good to go. The swing kinna freaked her out, she circled it for a while and then she just sat there staring at it until I turned it off.

4th of July fun!

David's Family came out for the weekend to spend the 4th with us. We had lot of fun, we took the Moala girls to Wild Water Adventure Park on Friday. It felt so nice to float around in the water with my preggy belly and watch the girls enjoy the kiddie slides.

On Saturday morning our ward had their annual 4th of July Pancake Breakfast. They had a little flag ceremony, parade and snow cones for the kids. It was such a beautiful morning to have breakfast in the park.

We had some amazing BBQ and Homemade Ice Cream for dessert, and of course, the 4th of July is not complete with out a fireworks show! We didn't end up going to watch the big show nearby, but we enjoyed watching the ones we had in the front yard.

We found Calvin Tuesday morning in the bathroom, with the trash can emptied into the toilet. I hope David and I are ready for this kind of stuff! :)

Getting close!

Here I am in my 8th month of being pregnant. I have to say I am excited to be closer to holding my little bundle of joy, and I am also getting tired of being pregnant. I am now weighing in around 134 lbs now, and my body is definitely feeling the extra load. I more month to go after this one!!

Baby Shower

This past weekend we came up to home to the bay area for my baby shower for our family and friends out this way. It was so nice to see everyone and get to catch up a little. We received so many wonderful gifts for our soon to come son. I just love everything we received, it is so much fun seeing all the tiny little clothes!!

Me, my Mom, Karrie and my Grandma Lena

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it and for all the wonderful gifts! I am so excited to get home so I can set his room up and put all his clothes away!

Week in the Bay

We spent the entire week here in they bay area while my in-laws were in Texas for the week. I had so much fun spending some time with my family while David was a work, and while Lexi was in summer school.

My cousin Dionne was visiting from San Diego, I hadn't seen her for about 8 years!

I went out to lunch and to eat Pink Berry with my cousins Elizabeth and Jill. I always enjoy when I get to hang out with them since it doesnt happen too often.

On Saturday we went to a car show & fundraiser for Sandra Cantu in Tracy. After we went shopping at the Tracy Outlets and found the Carter's Outlet store (we had a blast in there!!) We found some awesome deals on some REALLY cute baby clothes!

It was a fun week spending time with family and friends, but I am looking forward to going home. I am SO excited to set up all the baby stuff!

7 months...

Summer is here now and I have graduated to the stage where I can now use my tummy as a table to put just about anything on. It's great especially when I'm sitting on the couch snacking!

Here I am tanning in my maternity swim suit. I am feeling great, weighing in at 126 lbs. I know I have the 2 worst months ahead of me as far as comfort, but I am getting excited to hold my little baby. He moves around all the time, kicking & nudging me as much as he can. 55 days to go!!

My Handyman

I just love how my husband is so handy!

Last weekend we finally finished cleaning out the baby's room! It feels so exciting to get things rollin for our little baby's arrival. Even though he won't be sleeping in his crib for a couple months, my WONDERFUL husband put together the crib. He also finished sanding & painting my old bedroom furniture to match the crib for the nursery. I am SOOO thankful that he is so handy and can fix/put together just about anything.

Here is the finished product! (Minus the mattress that we don't have yet). I can't wait for my shower so I can put all his little clothes away and begin to decorate the nursery!
