Just two more days HOORAY!!!

Okay so for those of you that don't know, we are having our baby on July 1st. We go in at 5:30 in the morning to get ready and the C-section is scheduled for 7:30. I am so excited, nervous, worried, you know all the emotions rolled into one. I am into my cleaning spree right now. Trying to get all the last minute things done before we go in. I just was really wondering if this day would ever come. So hopefully later this week we will have some pictures posted up for everyone to see. I just want to say thanks to everyone for checking in on me and the kids all the time.

Just two more weeks!

Just two more weeks until we go to have our baby. I don't think that it can go by fast enough. Of course right now I am counting down until Jeb gets home on Saturday. I am trying to stay busy by cleaning our house. We'll see, I am kind of getting burnt out of cleaning. Everything is going great other than Jeb being gone. I am starting to dialate so we'll see if I make it the next two weeks. I probably will though.

Eric is doing great. We are keeping up on his medicine. For all of those that were wondering and I haven't gotten to yet, his blood tests came back clear. So we are just going to keep giving him antibiotics. I do want to thank everyone for checking in on us and bringing us meals and watching the kids and especially our home teachers that mowed our lawn and weeded our flower beds. I do feel so truly blessed live in the ward that we live in and to have the neighbors that we have too.

35 weeks and 2 days

So I went to the doctor. Everything looks good other than I am not dialating or softening. It kind of bums me out, but at the same time with Jeb leaving for two weeks I am glad that nothing is going on. We have scheduled the date. July 1st for sure unless the hospital has a conflict. I am measuring right on with my dates now. Which makes me feel better too. Now I am down to weekly visits so I guess we'll see what goes on the next couple of weeks.

Ella's 3rd birthday

Yesterday was Ella's third birthday. We had so much fun this weekend. Everytime someone would tell Ella Happy Birthday she would say Happy Dirday back to them. It was so cute. She was so excited. We went to Pocatello to eat out with my Mom, Dad, and brother Alex. It was so much fun to see them and spend some time with them. Then we had a barbecue that night. She has to carry around all of her new toys everywhere. I can't believe that she is already 3 years old.

The boys just had to pose with her.

Ella's pony cake

Ella's big present, we painted her room and got her a big girl bed and bedding.

Memorial Weekend

On Memorial Weekend we went camping with Jeb's family in Leadore. It wasn't too bad other than being really uncomfortable. The kids had a ton of fun. Jeb had his own little mini vacation. He had a ton of fun going four wheeling, rock climbing, and shooting with his brothers. I just tried to sit on my butt and do nothing. Sometimes is worked sometimes it didn't. Sunday it rained on us most of the day, but wasn't too bad other than the mud. We decided to pack up and come home on Monday when it started raining again.

I took a picture of how big the rock was that they all climbed

They decided to make paper airplanes and throw them off the top of the rock

All of our kids have a little pose that they do with pictures, the boys do spiderman and apparently this is Ella's pose of Tinkerbell.

The boys decided to shoot off bottle rockets. Jeb held Tyson is front of him for one of them. Tyson came away soaked from the water.

Our baby news!!

So yesterday we went into the doctor. It was a good appointment. Our date is scheduled for July 1st, unless we go into labor before then. The baby is no longer breech which is nice to know. I have no idea when he decided to flip. He has dropped a little bit too. I can breathe a little bit easier now unless I lay down then I feel like an elephant is on my chest. He is quite the mover still. I am glad to be on the down hill slope of things, but am also feeling very unprepared. Hopefully I can get everything done that I need to before Jeb leaves for his two weeks, but we'll see. That only gives me a couple of weeks still. So I guess we'll see how everything goes these next couple of weeks.

My first quilt!!!!

So I am not a very handy person, but I decided that I needed a project to do to keep me busy. Although it only took 3 days to do. But I did it anyways and it turned out so cute. My very first quilt all by myself. I'm pretty proud of myself. The picture doesn't do the quilt justice though.
