My Stupidity

On Saturday, Jason and I went and took a bunch more maternity pictures. I think that they turned out pretty cute and it was an awesome day...a rarity in this part of the states. So, I was looking through them on my camera waiting to put them on my computer after Jason was done using it. My camera is kind of new, so I still don't know what everything does. So, I was just going through seeing what all the buttons do. I went into a section called "format". I saw that my CF card was 1.6 G full and then I said "Okay" because I was done with that screen. Little did I know that I had just told it to format the CF card and it deleted all of my pictures. I was so discouraged. Now Jason is trying to recover all the pictures from it, but in order to do that we can't take any more pictures on my nice camera until they are recovered. So, now here I am hoping that I go into labor, but I won't have my nice camera to take the first pictures of my little baby, unless Jason can get it fixed today.

So, for all of you out there playing around with your carmera, do not go into the "Format" section unless you want to have all your pictures deleted.

10 years ago:

I was in 8th grade. I was about to have my "1 year aniversary" with Benjamin Heaton. I was wishing so badly that I was 14, so I could go to church dances.

5 things on my to-do list today:
(well tomorrow because today is almost over)

1) Install the baby carseat
2) Clean basement and baby's room...so it is ready for when my mom comes.
3) Attempt to sleep
4) Hang up the baby's room decor
5) Go into labor if I am lucky :)

5 Snacks I enjoy:

1) I love pretty much anything chocolate.
2) Trix Fruit Snacks...I haven't been able to find them lately, but I love these
3) Bacardi's Strawberry Darquri
4) Chocolate covered pretzels
5) S'mores

5 Things I would do if I was a Billionaire:

1) Have the best baby nursery money can buy
2) Buy a bigger house
3) Buy me and all my sisters their dream car
4) Get all the scrapbooking supplies I want (this included the photography aspect of it)
5) Have Jason quit and stay home with me all the time

3 of my bad habits:

1) I bite my finger nails.
2) I forget to eat all day and when I do eat it is some sort of sweet.
3) Complain about every single little pain...kind of like "the boy who cried wolf"

5 places I have lived:

Taylorsville, Utah
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Atlanta, Georgia
Rexburg, Idaho
Beaverton, Oregon

Jobs that I have had:

Daycare Helper, Nanny, and Babysitter
Video Girl at Ingles
Glow Seller at Stone Mountain
Roller Skating Rink Attendant at BYU-Idaho
Early morning Janitor
EFY Counselor
Viking Sewing machine sells

5 things people don't know about me:

1) I love sleep...I would sleep all day everyday. Being pregnant is killing me because I can't sleep anymore.
2) I love to sew, but can't do one project for a long time. I make nursing cover to sell because each one is really fast, and I feel like I am getting to work on a bunch of different things because the fabric changes more frequently.
3) Jason has turned me into a gamer. I love playing computer games. It is sometimes all that I do in a day.
4) I am a den leader for a wolf pack. I am getting training for having a boy. Boys drive me crazy I have learned. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I am sure that it will work out in the end.
5) I went to the doctor on friday and found out that I am 3 centimeters dialated and 80% effaced, so hopefully that will mean that I will have this cutie here sometime in the next couple of weeks...not all the way to the due date.

5 people I tag are:
I don't know who hasn't already done this...I have seen it on almost everyone's blog that I read...so if you haven't already been tagged...consider yourself tagged.

One Month and Counting...

I am exactly one month away from my due date!!!! I can't believe that I can really have a baby here any day.

I have been trying to get all ready for him to come. I have been working hard on the bedding. I will get pictures of that up as soon as I get it done. I am really loving how it is turning out. I have been focusing on getting the baby's room all decorated, so the rest of my house has been neglected. So, hopefully I will be able to get the rest of the house baby ready before he comes.

At church yesterday, I was stopped in the halls by everyone asking me when I was done. Everyone commented on how I looked like I was about to pop. That is how I feel too. I haven't gained a lot of weight this pregnancy, but in the past couple weeks, I have grow 4 inches at the belly. I can't believe how big I am getting. I love having a big belly...we are just hoping that doesn't mean that I am going to have a huge baby.

Here are some pictures of me at 35 and a half weeks (They aren't that great, but I just wanted to get some while it was decent weather outside). I can't believe that I am so close to being done. I am to the point of no sleep, a constantly sore back, major heartburn nonstop, going to the bathroom every 10 minutes, being kicked in the same spot of the ribs every few minutes, and waddling every where I go. I can't wait to be finished. Jason thinks it is funny because I randomly say "ouch" under my breath all the time. The end of pregnancy is PAINFUL, but I know that every second is worth it. I am just now counting down the days and praying that I am not late!

SNOW SNOW SNOW--Our Holiday Recap

The holidays were a lot of fun for me and Jason. We traveled 12 1/2 hours each way to Rexburg and spent some time with Jason's family. It was great getting to know the in-laws and my neice and nephew a little better. I loved being in Rexburg. In a way, it was kind of like going home when I couldn't go home.

We spent our time playing games like Munchkin, San Juan, Settlers of Catan, Boxers and Briefs, Phase 10 Dice, Scene It (Harry Potter, Movies 2, and Friends) and Clue DVD (most of our entertainment was provided by Emily and Lyle...Thanks for letting us borrow the games). I really recommend all of these games. They were a ton of fun.

The PS2 seemed like it was always on--until the end when my brother in law bought a X-Box, then that was always on. I think that all the boys would have been bored to death if there was no Guitar Hero, Hot Shots Golf, Tekkin, Ultimate Alliance and Halo to play.

Jessica, Julie and I went to Porter's like 3 times. I think that this is Jason's worst nightmare...me at a craft store. I love Porter's...it has everything. I just wish that I had more money to spend there. Jessica has started beading, so she used us as guinea pigs and made us necklaces. I love mine! I just might have to start beading too.

I have been on the waiting list to get Twilight at the library now for a few months. My sister-in-law, Julie, finally convinced me just to buy it, SO I did. I haven't started to read it yet, but I can't wait to get started.

For Christmas, I made Bruce and Sue a tree skirt. I love how it turned out. It is perfect with their tree decor.We got to go to the Open House for the Rexburg Temple. It was so gorgeous. I can't wait to be able to go after it is dedicated. It was amazing to see the temple in Rexburg. It is the dominate building there. I was amazed at how much it stood out and for how many miles you can see it.

Jason got me this print for Christmas. It is a Simon Dewey. I love it. I can't wait to put it up in my house.
We hope that everyone's holidays went well. We are looking forward to having a great 2008--full of adventure and joy.

New Christmas Ornaments

Here are the new ornaments that we added to our tree this year.

This one is for our trip to Vegas. I thought that it was so cute.

This one is for being pregnant. At the beginning of this pregnancy, I craved s'mores...which even made this ornament a better representation for this pregnancy.
I love how the belly sticks out on it.

Decorating...

I am finally getting around to decorating my house a little. A few months ago, I painted and modge podged paper onto these BABY wall hangers. I finally got them up into the baby's room.

This weekend, I bought these wall hangings. I thought that they were so cute. I love the colors that are in them. I hung them up in the hall going into the baby's room.

Emily gave me these super cute gifts this weekend for the baby. The little bear is SO soft and the cards are way cool. The have little jungle animal pictures on them. They are black with a white background on one side and then reversed on the other. It is a really cool effect which is supposed to stimulate the baby's mind.

More Pregnant Photos...

A couple of weeks ago, Jason and I went out and took a bunch of pictures outside of Intel. We got so many that I liked that I decided on putting up a bunch. So, here are some pictures of me at 24 weeks pregnant and a couple of Jason.

And finally...Jason's belly... (trying to be sypathetic)

Belly Shots at 21 weeks

This morning it decided not to rain for about an hour, so Jason and I went out and took a couple of pictures because my clothes have been fitting a bit snugger. I decided to it was time to take some belly shots. So, here are a couple at week 21.

2nd Photo Shoot

Here is my newest pictures of my little boy. As of this day, the tech said that he weighed 10 oz. I am starting to get a big boy...only more and more growing from here.

And the verdict is...

Jason and I are so excited. I have been thinking that it is a boy since day one, but this morning we had it confirmed. I love ultrasounds. It is so much fun going and being able to actally see my baby boy. Today, again, he was extra wiggly. I was happy to see that. I thought that by now I would surely be able to feel the baby, so I was starting to get worried. But, now, I know that he is doing fine in there.

Now, I have a ton of projects to get done before Little Baby Boy Bills comes. I am making all the nursery decor for the room. I have been thinking of ideas all along for both a boy and a girl. So, now I can finally narrow down my options to boy decor! I can't wait to get started.

We did get pictures, but we have to wait to put them up. We don't have a scanner, so we have to just take a picture of the picture. So, I am going to let Jason do that...he has a much steadier hand than me. So, be anticipating the 2nd photo shoot of my little baby BOY!
