Pregnancy Update

I am so naughty! I wont try to hide it... I should be studying for my test, but I am blogging!! My x-ray test is scheduled for July 9th - that is next Thursday. I am freaking out a bit.. or a lot I should say! I have a lot of studying to do and a lot of baby prep to do as well all in a VERY short amount of time.

My Dad & Jared finished the dresser for our Tiny Princess' room. It looks amazing! THANKS DAD FOR ALL YOU DID! I will need to take a picture and post it soon. Our tiny one is getting SO big. She is not slowing down even though she is getting bigger! I love to feel her move so it is nice but, my ribs could use a break! She has been getting the hiccups and it cracks us up! You can see my stomach move when she gets them. The other night she had them for over a half an hour and was going nuts moving all around. I think she was annoyed by them - it was 3:30 am and I ready to go back to sleep too! She is so active at night. I hope this changes and she will learn to be a good sleeper for her Momma at night! Last Wednesday at our OB visit I was dilated to a 1 1/2 cm and 50% effaced!! I was so excited! I told the Doctor that was the best news I had heard all week - he just smiled. (I'm sure he gets random comments from pregnant women every time he does a cervical check.) We go back on Wednesday for our weekly visit - let's hope for some more change and progress!

High School and Med School Graduations

Jared's younger brother Taylor graduated from High School the end of May. Taylor is such a funny kid and is always making us laugh! He is so fun to be around and we love to tease and joke with him.

The beginning of June we flew down to Arizona to see my brother graduate from Medical School. It was a really cool experience. All of my family was able to go and support Nathan on such an amazing accomplishment! Nate must have got like 90% of the brains for the family... he graduated in the top 10% of his class!

CONGRATULATIONS DR. NATE D.O. !!

Our trip was a lot of fun. Thursday we flew down to Arizona. Breanne and Clint picked us up at the airport and we went to go eat at Oregano's. Which is an amazing Italian restaurant and a must if you are going to Arizona! It was so yummy and entertaining to have Millie and Xander with us! That night we had a BBQ with my Aunt Loi and Unlce Johnny and their 3 daughters. It was fun to finally meet 3 new spouses in the family and 3 babies. Loi just finished building an amazing new home and moved in just a few weeks ago. It was beautiful inside and out!

After graduation on Friday we celebrated Livy's 5th birthday with a pizza and pool party. It was pretty hot so I just got my feet wet in the pool and then went from 100 degrees outside up to our hotel room that we had set at 68 degrees for a nap... that was heaven for a pregnant woman who had a lot of swelling and couldn't see her ankles by 9 every morning!

On Saturday after getting Nate and Tiff packed for their journey across the country to Ohio (where Nate will start his residency in Emergency Medicine) we went to stay the night at my Aunt Mu's house. We went to lunch with Uncle Randy to Baja Fresh - it was the best fresh Mexican food ever! It was so tasty... we need one here in Utah for sure! We also went to DSW - my favorite shoe store. Where I just happened to find 2 pairs of sandals! That night we ate a delicious meal at their home and played some games. It was such a fun trip. I'm sad it came to an end and we had to return home to real life where we go to work and have to be responsible adults!

And by the way... my due date is in 5 weeks and 2 days!!

2nd Anniversary

Jared and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary on May 4th. This past year has gone by really fast with a lot of changes. I am so grateful to have Jared in my life and as my husband. He takes such good care of me and is always thinking of what he can do for me next. We are looking forward to the next year in our marriage where a lot of adjusting will again occur as we prepare for the birth of our daughter.

The night of our anniversary we went to dinner at Ruby River. I was craving coconut shrimp so we decided to go for our anniversary. It was SO yummy!!

For the weekend we went to St.George. Breanne and Clint celebrated their 7th anniversary 2 days before our anniversary so we planned a trip together. It was so much fun and really relaxing! The highlight of the trip was going to see Brian Regan in concert. We have never laughed so hard... it really hurt! We made t-shirts for the show of our favorite sayings by Brian.
At the concert. It was such a fun evening.

Clint: I distinctly heard a bow-wow. Breanne: I'm the map!
Jared: The big yellow one is the sun! Me: Whens that baby due?


The rest of the trip was spent relaxing, eating and shopping. I went nuts at the outlets buying baby clothes! Everything was on sale so it was a lot of fun to just shop, shop and shop! Thanks for joining us Breanne and Clint for a great, fun weekend!

Here we are before we went to the St. George temple. It was really sunny as you can see!

Baby Shower

I have just an hour to spend updating tonight so I hope I can get everything covered! First to start with my AMAZING baby shower!

My baby shower for my side of the family and friends was the beginning of May. Breanne, Jan, Tiff, My Mom and Grams all did a lot of work to get ready for it. It was the BEST baby shower that was ever given to someone... How did I get to be the lucky one?! (I'm glad I was! THANK YOU!!) Everything was coordinated and matched from the invitations, decorations, food and thank you notes. I am amazed at all the time, talent, hard work and money that was spent just for me and our Tiny Princess! She is so spoiled already. I think everyone had a really good time and could see all the effort put into the shower to make it special and look great! Thank you to everyone who came and showed their love and support. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The tables. Everything looked so cute and was very pink!

At each setting was a candy bar wrapped up with a clue. Each clue was baby related. It was a lot of fun to guess what was wrapped up!


Getting the food ready for the shower. It was all so yummy!

This Baby and Momma were so spoiled!! Thank you everyone!
