"Today is the day!!"

 umm... yeah right. That is what my pregnancy countdown told me this morning! Today is my actual due date (August 30th) but today is defiantly NOT the day! I have yet to get a real contraction and I highly doubt they are going to start in the next little bit! I was hoping she would come early so Ray wouldn't have to stress about taking work off during the first weeks of school but seeing as how school started yesterday that plan is also shot! haha oh well... here is hoping for labor day weekend!... literally haha!

Anyways, I have some pictures of me as a prego woman starting with 19 weeks which is when we got to find out we were having a cute little girl!

19 Weeks

21 Weeks

24 Weeks

28 Weeks

32 Weeks

34 Weeks

(sorry it is sideways... I was too lazy to fix it!)

38 Weeks

40 Weeks (Due TODAY!)

As you can see I was cute in the beginning but near the end there was no where for the baby to go but OUT!  I have had people telling me that I have been carrying low for the past 2 months and that "you must be having that baby ANY DAY!" yeah well any day has come and gone and still no baby! But oh well... I had a doctors appointment today and there still hasn't been much change.  I have been checked 4 times now and I am still only about one and a half cm dilated and only slightly thinned.  Ray keeps telling me that I am "too good of a baby oven" and that "she is just trying to teach you patience!". Yeah well it's not working haha I think everyday I get more and more impatient. 

I do have a theory though.  After we found out we were pregnant we decided to keep it to ourselves for a little bit but in that time SOOOO many people came out of the woodworks that they were also pregnant. At one point I could count 12 women that I knew that were pregnant and almost half of those were due either 2 weeks before me or 2 weeks after.  Right now almost all of those that were due close to me have had their babies except for one friend and my sister who are both due AFTER me.  They both have been showing signs that they may not make it to their due dates.  I am convinced that once these last 2 have their babies then (and only then) will mine come on her own! Just a theory but I bet she is doing it just to push my buttons! haha anyways, at my appointment today I had a non-stress test and an ultrasound to check the fluid and to see how big she is! According to the ultrasound tech she weighs about 7 lbs. 12 oz.  Which is in the 69% so slightly over average. It still sounds like a huge watermelon that has to squeeze through a hole the size of a lemon... OUCH! After she was done measuring and everything I had her check to make sure she was still a she haha... and just like the first time we tried to check she made it as hard as she could! but finally after a lot of that gooey gel and prodding her to move we got a shot and thank heavens she is still a girl!! :) Unfortunately we couldn't get  a picture of her face or anything cool like that so all I have is the "it's still a girl" shot!

So here it is... I couldn't see it until she described the photo to me but rest assured it is a girl! 

I also needed to fill up some of my time so I decided to make a cute car seat cover! the Pink one is mine (obviously!) and then I had so much fun making mine that I decided to make one for my sister who is due here soon too! i Love the dinosaurs! :) 

So anyways, hopefully the next post will be filled with pictures of a cute new baby! But until then that is all i've got!! :)

Enjoy, or not! Your choice!

Baby-moon....iversary?!

Holy cow... can you believe that Ray and I have been married for 2 years now!? It really doesn't feel like it should be that long.  This year we decided that it was time for a vacation and since I am prego we couldn't join Ray's family on their awesome 2 week Alaskan cruise in August we just decided to go somewhere close.  I originally wanted to go to Hawaii but when we priced it all out I decided I am too cheap to spend that much money on a vacation haha so we just went to San Francisco, California.

We left on our anniversary (June 12) and only stayed until Thursday.  So it was a short-ish trip but we had fun and I seriously doubt I could have gone longer.  Vacationing when you are 7 months pregnant is actually really difficult!

Anyways... we just chilled in our hotel and ate dinner the day we got there.  BUT, the next day we went to the fishermans wharf which was pretty cool.  We got to see the sea lions and then we just walked around to all the shops and stuff.  Then we went to the aquarium which to tell you the truth was pretty much the biggest waste of $30 EVER!  Then we went to Ghiridelli Square but I forgot to take any pictures... sorry!

I found me a new boyfriend... Ray should be jealous!

 The next day we drove south and went to check out some redwoods! We got to ride a train through the forest and it was pretty fun!  Then we went to the Winchester Mystery House! It is the biggest, ugliest, worst built house EVER! but it was pretty cool to see some of the things inside! too bad they don't let you take pictures inside because there were some of the BEST stained glass windows inside!

I think Ray was in heaven looking at all the guns... I thought it was quite boring but hey... what do I know!?

The next day we got to go to Alcatraz but first I made Ray take me back to the fishermans wharf to get me some pearls! haha I totally fell into that tourist trap but it was fun and I got a pretty necklace out of it! Anyways, after that we headed out to check out the Alcatraz prison.  It was fun but I don't think I would ever do it again. You have to walk around with an mp3 player thing so Ray and I didn't even get to talk the whole time we were out there.  But oh well!

After we went to Alcatraz, I made Ray take me to the beach... although I was very dissipointed.  You can tell from the picture but it was not the best time of day to go. There was too much smog/fog crap.  So needless to say we only stayed for like 15 minutes!

On our last day in San Fran, we checked out of our hotel and decided that on our way to the Okland airport we would drive over the golden gate bridge! It was awesome... ok it was just a bridge but now we can say that we have done it!

This is us driving over the bridge... check out the excitement haha jk

Anyways, we are very glad to be home. I got the worst swelling in my feet and legs after our flight.  Luckily they have gone down and are normal now but I don't think I will ever travel during pregnancy again!  Now we are just trying to fill our time until the end of August when the baby will get here (can you believe that there is only a little over 2 months left?!?!)! Ray works with his dad almost everyday and I have been trying to catch up on all our laundry and stuff... fun for me I know! But, that is what we have been up to lately!

anyways, enjoy! or not! Your choice!

I am such a slacker!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I really blogged last... oh dear... There has been a lot going on! I don't think I really want to talk about it all... we would be here all day haha! Anyway, I have been taking a picture every month of my prego belly (used to be fun... not so much anymore haha) so here was last months....

This was me at 24 weeks... sorry about all the stupid poses... I take my own pictures in my always messy bathroom.

I took these ones the other day and I was noticing that I am really looking pregnant from the front oh man... This is only 28 weeks haha... i have a while to go! 

Here is a side view of 28 weeks... I am getting so fat haha... (don't you love my fake smile... I wasnt too excited to take this picture...)

ANYWAYS, on a happier note, a couple weeks ago we Ray decided he was sick of a huge crib box just hangin out in our extra bedroom.  So here are a couple fun pictures of him assembling our awesome crib! We don't have a mattriss or any bedding for it yet so there isn't a completed picture.... hopefully that will come in the next month or so!

 Next, we went to Best Buy to buy a new camera for or upcoming vacation and ray pulls into this spot and I start freaking out at him because he is parking in a handicap spot.  Then I look at it and start laughing haha! Probably the BEST parking spot ever! (sorry about the skewed windshield wiper... I tried to take it without it but failed.)

 Since I am not going to school or working or anything I have been trying to find things to fill up my time. So I have been figuring out how to make these cute baby headbands! (These are only a select few... I have too much time on my hands so I have a ton!!) The Tan one is my favorite I think! :)

 And, one of the biggest things we have been up to this last month is that we sold our car! :( We sold cute little blackie and bought a used toyota corolla. Or cute mazdaspeed3 was costing too much money so we down graded! It was a HUGE hassle and we had to deal wit a TON of stupid pushy salesmen but in the end it is worth it! We can now buy regular gas instead of the premium stuff! yay!

This is my sad face.  I am still kinda sad when I see mazda3 hatchbacks but I really dont ever drive anywhere so a cheaper car was the way to go!

 Goodbye blackie... you served us well! We will miss you!

Anywho... That is really all that has been going on... OH besides that it is now officially summer time! Ray got done with his school year on June 5th and we partied... ok we just went to a movie but that is as crazy as we get around here... haha but other than that we have just been hangin out! We are excited to go on our vacation this next week! We were originally going to try to go to Hawaii but I had an anxiety attack when I saw how much it really would have costed us.  I am a cheapo so we decided to just go to San Francisco, California instead! We will leave this sunday (June 12... Yay happy 2nd anniversary to us!!!!!!!!!!!) and we will have some good times before the rest of the crazy summer chatches up with us! This will be our happy 2nd anniversary/Babymoon vacation! :)

That is all I really have for now. I will post pictures from our vacation next weekend sometime maybe! 

so... Enjoy.. or not! It's your choice!

I heart music!

So I discovered this song today.  I don't know how I didnt know about it before because I really love Staind... ok well some of their stuff is good like this song but others I can't handle... but I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It's called Tangled up in you! Such a cute song!

Tangled Up In You Lyrics

You're my world 

The shelter from the rain

You're the pills 

That take away my pain

You’re the light 

That helps me find my way

You’re the words

When I have nothing to say

And in this world 

Where nothing else is true

Here I am 

Still tangled up in you

I’m still tangled up in you

Still tangled up in you

You're the fire 

That warms me when I'm cold

You're the hand I have to hold 

As I grow old

You're the shore

When I am lost at sea

You're the only thing

That I like about me

And in this world 

Where nothing else is true

Here I am 

Still tangled up in you

I’m still tangled up in you

How long has it been

Since this storyline began

And I hope it never ends

And goes like this forever

In this world 

Where nothing else is true

Here I am 

Still tangled up in you

Tangled up in you

I’m still tangled up in you

Still tangled up in you

Just thought I would share! :)

April Showers!! :)

Last week was general conference and my moms birthday so we got to go hang out in Heber for the weekend and it was fun! I always like being around the fam. :) anyways.. I got bored the week before and wanted to make my mom something for her birthday so this is what I made and I think it is pretty awesome!

I think I will make myself one that is red, white, and blue! it was really fun and kept me entertained while Ray is at school!! :) It made a nice easter/spring decoration at my moms house and I am glad she liked it!

I have also taken a picture of me getting fat... ok jk I really need to stop saying that but up until recently that is how I felt haha but now it is feeling more baby bump than fat!

So here it is! me at 19 weeks! I am excited for it to start getting warmer so I can start wearing my shorts and actually going outside... I am so white!!!

Yesterday we were able to go have our anatomy scan done.  It was originally supposed to be on wednesday but there was a misunderstanding and the ultrasound tech. went home before we were able to get the problem fixed.  That is ok though, one day didn't kill us and it's not like we don't have months to get ready for the baby! So anyway, we went in yesterday and the baby looks good and healthy so that is good! The tech. tried so hard to find out the gender throughout the whole ultra sound and the baby didn't move enough to get a super good shot of it but the tech is pretty sure it is a girl!  

 Here is where they got girl from... it is a little faint but you can see the leg across the middle of the image and where there is a lack of anything else haha... 

In this one you can see the cute little hand next to the face and belly! 

and in this one I just like that it makes the baby look like she has chunky cheeks and a cute round head. That is probably the best part!

Anyways..... That was the exciting news for this month haha I go in next month but there will probably not be any fun news to share... besides that I have to do the stupid glucose test that I have heard horror stories about. So my news will probably be about that haha.

I found the CUTEST crib bedding and I am seriously going to buy it! I found it like a week ago and decided that I would buy it no matter if it was a boy or girl! :) 

Isn't it soooo... cute!! I love the owls haha and I even went to Burlington Coat Factory and saw it and it is just as cute in real life. So there ya go! :)

But on another not we FINALLY found someone to take over our lease (suckers) for this awful basement we have been in and we are moving! YAY! I am so sick of this dungeon of an apartment and all the sucky problems that we have had to deal with (including the landlords.. they are weird and we have a hard time understanding them sometimes...). So we just got an apartment across bangerter highway that has 2 bedrooms and is on the top floor so we don't have to hear kids banging extremely loud all night and morning. So that has been keeping us busy all week! And that has been our lives in a nut shell or the past little bit! Sorry it was so long! (maybe I should blog more than once a month and then maybe these things wouldnt feel like a novel!! haha sorry!!!)

Enjoy! or not... Your choice!
