More News!

So, yesterday the doctor put me on bed rest so that we can hopefully make it till this weekend before the baby comes (let him cook a little longer, ya know!) He said unless there is some drastic change, then we will be induced this weekend! The panic has officially set in! I am getting more and more excited, now that I am pretty much packed. I am still worried that I am going to forget something though! Keith watches me like a hawk when he is home, it is pretty funny! He is like a little kid on Christmas eve, I love it! I am so thankful for such a loving hubby! He is so good to help out with everything. Like on Saturday he cleaned his little heart out just so it would be done for when the baby comes and he cooks most of the time and works full time! I could not dream of ever being treated better! He is going to be a great dad! Funny tidbit....He revealed to me the other night that he has never changed a diaper! This should be fun! ha ha...I know he will pick it up just fine in the not so distant future! Oh and apparently I am totally dense or this week Keith has just revealed a lot to me, he was asked to participate in a barber shop quartet for a ward activity...I had no idea that he did that! He tells me later, "I did this all the time on my mission." I now know who will be singing the lullaby's! :) I love you honey! I can't believe we are already here!!

Thanks to everyone for the great advice on things to bring to the hospital and advice to help us. We will keep you all posted on what is happening and we would love visitors! P.S. we will be at McKay Dee Hosp.

One last favor....what did everyone do at the hospital to keep you entertained and busy while you were waiting for the baby? I'm sure being induced will not be a real quick process. Any suggestion is great! Thanks

Baby update!

So we went to our dr. appt this last thursday and we had quite a few surprises come up... The first being that my blood pressure jumped by more than 20 points (in only a week!) on both top and bottom numbers, which then led to the next surprise that the doctor said that he was concerned about the BP and my swelling, so he said that he would watch it for one more week just to see if it would go down at all, and if it didn't then he would plan to start me this next weekend. AHHHHHH!!! I have not prepared myself for this soon! The doc said that everything still looks good with the baby and that I am 50% effaced and dilated to a 2. Keith could not be more excited, and I am getting more and more nervous by the minute. I really thought I would be more calm than I am, but I am just hoping that the baby has grown enough and is not too tiny and too early....And the worrying begins! :) I just need to get my bag packed. So I thought I might send a question out to everyone of any suggestions on what to make sure that I don't forget, or any other hospital must haves. Let me know what has worked best for you! Thanks

37 weeks....crazy that this could be my last week!

Showers!!!

Here is his newest picture at 36 weeks!
(the blurb at the bottom is his hand! he always has it up)



I wanted to send a huge thank you out to everyone who gave me showers, and who came to them!!! Thank you so much for all your time, effort and generosity!!! It was so fun to see everyone. We are so blessed with such great family and friends. I can't even begin to tell you all how much you all mean to us at this exciting time!! It was so much fun to be able to have all my family together on the weekend of the 11th! I always wondered how we would all be when we grew up and had kids of our own, and I have to say that I am so happy the way things turned out and how lucky I am to be a part of it! Good job mom and dad! I love seeing all the kids together. It makes me truly realize how lucky our little guy is to be the 9th grandkid and have so many sweet and loving little cousins to be examples to him. I know I am biased, but they are just the best! Thanks for a awesome weekend!
