As of tomorrow I'll be 39 weeks pregnant. I can't believe it. After all the waiting, we will finally hold our baby boy soon. I feel emotional remembering Father's Day 2008. That's the day I told Larry he was going to be a dad. Little did I know it would be nearly three years later. But now, the time has come. We are so excited to meet our precious little boy! It really is such a sacred experience having a perfect baby entrusted to us. It's a bit surreal that we are probably going to meet him in just a few days. I'm starting to get nervous about the whole giving birth scenario ;) But I'm also so excited. I mean, this is MY baby boy. He'll always be mine. It's all just so amazing to me. I'm so grateful for our Heavenly Father's plan of happiness that is centered on having our own families.
Next time we post on here, we'll be announcing the birth of our baby boy and his name (once it's official) We'll post tons of pictures I'm sure. Yay! FYI, I've been 3 cm and 80% effaced for a couple weeks plus contractions on and off. We thought he was coming a week or two ago (once full term) but he decided to wait a little longer. Contractions are getting going mildly now. I *may* or *may not* be getting induced next week...I think I know but we'll see how things have progressed and decide for absolute sure. We want him to come on his own but I really think it might be a little mix of both that happens, if that makes any sense whatsoever. Alright, in the meantime let's look at some pics of the nursery shall we?

| A happy place for our baby boy |
 |
| We're all organized and everything |
 |
| This is my cloth diaper stash ;) And a few disposables for early on. | | |

| I just got a much needed haircut...sorry about the myspace type "took a picture of myself" photo ;) |
Going back a little bit....Baby Shower!
Thank you mom and sistas for throwing a shower for me and baby boy on Feb 5th!
We held it at Kaylynn's house and Amy put the show on.
And of course thank you to all our friends and family who came.
It was lots of fun. Now I just can't wait to meet the little boy we're celebrating!
 |
We really appreciated all the gifts...(plus my work threw me a baby shower the week before so I got even more gifts and lots of gift cards. It all helps so much!)

| It was fun not knowing when someone was taking pictures ;) |
 |
| We played fun games too...okay we all know I'm a cloth diaper nerd. I thoroughly enjoyed pinning flat diapers on teddy bears. It was quite amusing to see what people came up with in one minute...like teddy bear togas! |
 |
| I think pregnancy is running in my family right now. Me and my sister Kaylynn (She's having a boy in May!) |
 |
| My ridiculously talented sister Emily made this awesome diaper cake! |
 |
| Don't you think I'm just glowing in all my pregnant glory?! Okay, really I just haven't seen sun in quite some time. |
 |
| I got lots of cute squishy stuff for my baby. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
 |
| But I realized I'm looking rather chubby these days ;) |
| I always thought it was funny how people try stuff on their stomach...I mean really? Hehe. Here I am "trying on" a onesie from baby's grandma Kathi. (Thank you! I'm sorry you guys couldn't be here, we missed you) |

There was really good food (thanks mom!) Though that may be attributing to my chubby cheeks...

I wish so bad that I could have come to your baby shower!! It looks like it was so much fun! I'm so excited for your little one to be here!
Looks like you're already! This is it, he'll be here this week! I like your hair...where did your belly go?
Um, I meant to say "all ready". I think I'm "already" for bed.
I had the baby and didn't tell you ;) just kidding, I'm just magical like that!
We are so excited for you guys! You'll be amazing parents!
