Doctors Appointment

So-- I went to the doctor this morning at 38 1/2 weeks and he said I am 60-70% effaced, and dialated 1 cm..I really wish it was more! Anyway, matt is supposed to go out of town on Monday so I am doing everything I can to get this baby to come early!! I have been having contractions off and on A lot!! They are just never strong enough!! All of the nurses at the doctor were telling me I should beg him to induce me or something, but obviously the doctor knows best and I should just be patient! Anyway...as for now I am walking a lot!!

Baby showeR..and news!

So...some updates on my little baby situation. I went in to the doctor on Wednesday at 37 1/2 weeks. They weighed me and measured my belly, and I hadn't gained any weight and my belly hadn't grown! (it's measuring at 33 cm) Anyway, so he said I would have to go in and do an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay (me, not knowing anything, was a little nervous for it) Anyway, so I went in yesterday to the ultrasound and she said everything looked fine, he is right on track, and 7 lbs! I think that is so weird that he is that big inside of me right now. Well, she said since I had a long torso, he was just hiding really well inside of me. It was kind of a relief, and very fun to be able to see another ultrasound! She showed us his little face, and as soon as we saw it we both said, Wow, he has big lips! (I don't know if they just looked big from a side profile, or if he will have large lips) Anyway, right after we said that and were laughing, he covered his hands over his face and wouldn't move them...it was kind of funny, and kind of got me excited to have him come out!!! Anyway---enough about all that, I had an awesome baby shower last Saturday in Idaho Falls with my mom's and dad's families and a few friends that live up there! It was so much fun, and thanks everyone who was able to make it!! So..this first little outfit is actually from another shower with friends. I have been saying I HAD to get one of these for the baby to wear to Matt's gameS!
Here is the back side...I love this!!
Okay...so this is not quite the finished product of the shelf above the dresser (we rearanged it quite a few times until it was perfect..ok my mom did) So, my mom had this shelf, and my aunt gave me the dresser and took it up to my uncle, who can make just about anything look fantastic, and he sprayed it and fixed it all up( my camera doesn't really do justice to how beautiful they both look) Okay, so then my mom, who is the craftiest woman I know(along with her sisterS) made all of the decorations to go along with it so it all matched the bedding! Soo fun!
And here is the crib..thanks to my parents we have one!...and the bedding that Matt picked out himself. It was so funny, about 4 months ago, we went to some stores in Salt Lake and were looking through all the different bedding, and from the first store he said this was the bedding we had to get! I was trying to talk him into some blue/brown combos...but he said if he got to pick out anything, this is what he wanted. So..this is what the decision was! I think it turned out awesome and I love the colors and of course the "sporty" look!
Here is a picture from the shower at my Aunt Cindy's beautiful house(her husband is the one who finished the shelf and dresser) And..here is my mom showing off some of the awesome decorations she made! Thanks mom, and everyone else who helped out!! I have the room all set up, and the blankets washed, and closet organized, but really my mom did just about all of it! She is making getting ready for a baby way too easy, so thank you!

So, one more thing. A few people have been asking me if we have thought of a name yet, and the answer is NO! I'm really struggling with this. Matt said to me last night, so if you have the baby tonight...what are we going to name him, you know we have to come up with one some time. That made me a little nervous because there has not been one that I am totally in love with. I would love any suggestions...

Traveling for bball...


So..basketball has officialy started!! They played their first game last Friday night and it was sooo exciting! They ended up winning by 5, but it was an intense game! I have tons of pictures from the game, but not on my camera...someday I will post them! Then, they left Saturday morning for HAWAII :(! They spent a couple days there before they played their first game. Anyway, the cool thing was that they played on ESPN-although it was at 2 a.m. Still really cool. So, monday night I woke up at 2 to watch the game...not a good idea. Not only was I starting to get a cold, but it's already hard enough to sleep being pregnant. Anyway, the game went into OVERTIME, and didn't get over until 4:30. They ended up losing in overtime to UH, when they should have won. So..after staying up that long of course I could not go back to sleep, so around 6 o'clock I dosed back off finally just in time to wake up at 7. So, yesterday probably wasn't my best day and I think it made my cold get a lot worse! But, oh it was worth it to be able to watch Matt play on ESPN!!

Basketball and Belly...

Okay...so it seems like all I ever post are pictures of my belly-kind of lame but I want to see how big I continually get...so this is my only way of doing it. Anyway, this is me at 36 weeks! And I had matt take a picture from each angle to get the full affect...haha. I am going to be posting basketball pictures but they are not on my camera, but they won their two exhibition games and have their first real game on friday night!! Also...I had an awesome shower on Saturday with friends! It was so much fun and got me way excited to have this baby. I came home and organized his closet and cleaned out everything so I'm feeling a little bit more ready to have a baby. I'm so lucky to have such awesome friends who support me..thanks!!

Halloween

So...this was actually before Halloween, me at 34 weeks! yaay..I dont know why I dont look too happy in this picture!
Here is another shot where I look a little bit happier! I am now 35 weeks and getting very anxious, but not too anxious! My doctor did say he would try and induce me on December 4th!! yay. Matt goes out of town on the 8th, my due date, so hopefully all works out!
Well...isn't he a good sport. I had to talk him into doing it, and then I drew the face on it(trying to make it look like a baby-didn't really succeed)
This was my job..the best part!! Digging all the insides out!
In the process...
Anyway, our lives have been good these last few weeks! I can't believe it is already NOVEMBER..yay!! Matt has his first game tomorrow! UNfortunately I have class and can not miss so I have to miss the game... Anyway, Im getting very excited to start watching him, its such a fun time of year, and this will be the lasT! I think I'll be more excited once the baby is born so I can bring him to the games instead of my belly!!
