32 Weeks Pregnant!

Wow I have grown!! I can't believe how much bigger I am from 28 weeks. I guess I don't notice it since I see myself everyday but the pictures prove it! Only 8 more weeks to go! I like to think my outfit makes my belly look bigger than normal. Oh and today some woman said I was carrying really low and she thought i would have the baby within 2 weeks. I told her, "She better not come in 2 weeks because I have 8 more weeks to go!"

Christmas 2008


We had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas this year. We stayed here in Austin by ourselves. I was a little worried thinking we would get homesick without being around our families but we have a fantastic time. On Christmas Eve we went to the Dials House and had dinner and treats with lots of other families, including John's aunt and uncles family. There we had a buffet of foods to choose from, sang Christmas carols and the children reenacted the Christmas Story of our Saviors birth. Here are a few pictures from the Dial's barn.





Here we have our Mary coming in on the Donkey.

Here we are in the barn with the pitchfork!

After the Dial's House we went to Jay and Angela VanDerwerkens and read a few Christmas Stories, ate some rice pudding and talked about Christmas Day. We left and came home where we read in the scriptures the story of Christ's birth. We then cuddled by the Christmas tree and watched some sports. Christmas morning we woke up late, opened our stockings and presents and just relaxed watching TV. John got some UT Basketball tickets, 2 guns, a tie, a basketball, and a few other things. John got me some books, movies, a hand mixer, a rolling pin (which is the only thing I actually asked for) and a Mobile DVD system. It will be perfect for when the baby is a few months old and can watch movies in the car and on airplanes. Overall I would say it was a successful and spoiled Christmas for our family!

Thanksgiving Fun

So I've been meaning to post with details about our trip to Utah over Thanksgiving. We had tons of fun. Here is a quick run down of events:

We arrived in Utah early Saturday morning then drove straight to Jim and Claudia's House for my baby shower. Julie and Wendy threw it and did an amazing job! It was so much fun seeing family and friends. John went to the Utah vs. BYU Football game (very sad outcome) with Jim, Doug and Alex. We ended the night by going to Park City with Brian, Christina, Doug, and Charisse. We had so much fun with them. It was like a big family sleepover where we had fun telling stories and laughing at old memories.



Here we all are the next morning leaving the timeshare for church.

Tuesday Christina and I got pedicures while John went golfing with some friends. Later that night we went to a work party/reunion with all my old Nu Skin coworkers. We had lots of fun talking and reminicing.

On Wednesday, John, Dad, Jim, and Alex went shooting. John and Dad had a little too much fun shooting 4 different kinds of guns. John came back and told me that my dad is a great shot and he wouldn't want to do anything to "piss him off". I laughed and said "Well you better do what I say then!"

We had Thanksgiving at Wendy and Aaron's House with the whole family. After we had a mini birthday party for Mom, Spence, and Kenzie where we played pictionary (girls won of course) and had lots of treats.

On Friday we went up to Logan for a birthday party for my nephew Gavin and family pictures. We stopped by Aunt Barbara's and had fun talking with her and her daughter.

We sprinkled in visits with family and friends throughout the week and had a wonderful time (oh and we ate at Cafe Rio about 3 times as well!)

Saturday we left to go home. It was bitter sweet to leave but I was ready to be home in my warm Austin, TX.

Christmas Party

My office, Hellas Construction, had our work party last week. It was at a nice restaurant and of course there was a lot of food, socializing, prizes, and alcohol. People just crack me up when they are drunk and everyone is so happy at Christmas Parties (especially when there are prizes involved)! This year I won the huge TV!! It's a LG 47" LCD TV. It's super nice but the only problem is..... we already have a 52" LCD TV! So John and I keep trying to find a spot for it but it's too big for our room and the guest room. Any thoughts or suggestions?? Maybe we can hook it up to the computer and use it as a monitor? Haha, just kidding. Here is a picture from that fun night.

Some other people got fun prizes such as trips to Mexico, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and gift certificates. There was no table dancing like in the past (the last 2 years there was some table dancing and both restaurants went out of business later on in the year. We like this restaurant so we didn't want to jinx it)! Overall it was a fun night and John got to experience my work crowd for one night... It's pretty crazy!

28 Weeks

John and I will have a baby in less than 12 weeks! I can't believe it! If everything goes my way, I will deliver her February 12th (we've had a talk and I think she's agreed to come early) so that means we have a little over 2 months left. I had a doctors appointment yesterday where they had to draw my blood for gestational diabetes. So far they haven't called me and no news is good news. I'm measuring at 29 cm and her heart beat is a strong 140 bpm. Last night she was going crazy causing little mini earthquakes inside me. John watched and was amazed at how she shook my whole belly! It was hilarious. I've been having Braxton Hicks for the last couple weeks and I'm starting to have some back pain. Just some of the joys of pregnancy! Overall life is good and we are keeping busy! Here is another picture to document my growing belly!oys of being pregnant!
