35 Weeks

I've had a few people tell me that i look really small still and they ask if the baby is growing fine. I think they're just trying to make me feel better. The 5 longest weeks of my life lie ahead of me.

Michigan weekend

I went to Michigan a couple of weekends ago with my awesome friend Amy for a baby shower. The only picture i have from the baby shower is the one above of my aunt, cousin and myself. Amy took the action shots. Although i don't have pictures the shower was awesome! Thanks so much to all who came! That weekend also happened to be prom weekend so we tagged along for the taking of prom pictures. It was a pretty awesome whirlwind of a weekend. These pictures count for week 32 pictures too. Way better than profile pictures lol.

Manti

This past Saturday we took a day trip to the Manti temple complete with picnic lunch. We haven't been there since we were married 2 years ago and i really wanted to get there before the baby came. Well we made it. It was a nice day. The drive down was pretty. I love central Utah; it seems so secluded and it's nice to get away every once in a while. It rained a little but not too much. The clouds were awesome though. This is definitely my favorite temple. I think it's just the most beautiful temple. I may be biased though. It was a fun trip.

Baby time

We have a robin who build her nest in our ivy and has laid a couple eggs. I thought it a cute coincidence that she's having babies right along side us. Yay for babies :)

Mother's Day

After traveling all day on Mother's Day this is how my poor feet and ankles looked. I was so happy to be home with David and Ray Ray! Best mother's day present! I'll post more about Michigan later after i try to rest and relax some today! I guess these feet mean I'm on the downward slope of this pregnancy. The Michigan trip is the last trip I'm taking this pregnancy and that's exciting. Just 8 weeks to go now! :)

Loving breakfast smoothies

Plain yogurt
Frozen Cherries (we got some from costco that are really sweet)
Half a Banana
No sugar needed but you can add it if you like.

Wonderful easy healthy breakfast. And it feels great on my sore throat :(

Happy Happy Wedding Day...

Not for the royals, for us! I suppose it's not our wedding day but it was 2 years ago!

My anniversary present from David. I'm excited! And I've already designated uses for several of these beautiful fabrics.

Here's our year recap:

Went to St. Louis for our friend's wedding. I love St. Louis and I would love to go back for a bit longer stay.

Started fertility treatment.

Had a long weekend in Denver.

Did Raft for the Cure with friends.

Put in new flooring on our main level.

Surprised my Dad with a visit to Michigan.

Fertility treatment hell paid off and we found out we were having a baby.

Visited Beijing China for a week. It was fabulous!

Visited Michigan for Christmas.

Visited Denver again.

Found out we're having a boy.

I quit my job at the end of March.

Today we're going for a tiny last getaway before baby.

Plans for the year to come:

I go to Michigan next weekend for a baby shower.

Have a healthy baby in a couple months.

Adjust to parenthood and try to get some semblance of a routine going.

Visit Denver for Christmas.

Live the life.

So our plans are a little less ambitious than in years past but that's probably wise. There will be a lot of change in the next year for us so we'll just enjoy the ride together. I'm so lucky I married an amazing man who's perfect for me.
