No, we didn't win the lottery...

... this big beautiful wedding ring I am wearing is FAKE because my gorgeous real one won't fit these days. I had to go buy one my sausage like fingers could fit into... Seriously WHY do my fingers need to get fat for this kid to be healthy? I don't think that it makes any sense...

I am now 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant and am really looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. I am so over this. I am over wearing my only cute pair of pants every single day. I am over the long shirts that I HAVE to wear so that no body can see that my pants are not buttoned and are being held up by a hair elastic. I am over not being able to sleep comfortably AT ALL. I am over all of it.

I know that all of you are probably thinking that I am so ungrateful for this magical experience, but I am SO not! I have had the worlds easiest pregnancy- still no throw up, still no complications what so ever and for all of that I am beyond blessed and truly thank my heavenly father multiple times every single day! I really do understand how blessed I am and I already love this guy more than anything in the world!

Here are my 32 week pictures...



Big Mama!


Enough with the pregnancy, here are some fun pictures from Jackson Hole. We had a lot of fun and love going up there every year because there is so much to do and it is so relaxing which is great for me!

Everone (minus me) got to go river rafting on The Snake River like we do every year, kinda sad I missed it this year...


Bison on the Road...


We were driving around exploring and stumbled across this really pretty lake and got out to put our sore swollen feet in... OK, maybe it was just mine that were swollen...


Alpine Slide, another fun thing I missed out on, but that's ok...


Fun Animal Hats...


Ice Cream in the Park...


Going grocery shopping with these Yahoos...


Lunch with the girls while the boys were fishing...


The last night we went to a play/ dinner and our waitress walked around and sang and got up in Coleman's face and he got SO embarrassed it was SO cute!


Annie Get Your Gun...


My fabulous sister in law Amy threw my a baby shower! I am really going to miss not having baby showers after baby gets here! Amy did such a great job and I got a lot of really awesome gifts! My sweet mother in law helped out too and let us have it at her house! Thanks SO much for everyone that came!

Amy, me and Gay...


We FINALLY got our nursery furniture! We picked it out and stuff a few weeks ago in Salt Lake, but haven't had a chance to drive down there with a trailer and stuff to get it, but we got it and I am SO SO SO happy!!!

The Changing table and all of the stuff we have to put away...


Andrew setting up out furniture!


Me "helping" set up the furniture...


My sweet mom came up this last week and helped me SO much with the nursery! We organized all of my baby clothes and put them all away- it feels so good to have it all done! We haven't hung anything on the walls yet or put anything cute on our hutch or dresser, but when we do I will put cute pictures on here!

LOVE YA!

O, and P.S.- incase you were wondering what my plans were for next month, I will be having a baby... NEXT MONTH!!!

Sister B and Baby Showers

A few weeks ago my bestest friend Betsy left on her mission to Uruguay! I was so lucky and got invited to her setting apart and it was really awesome. She is going to be such a great missionary and will work so hard like she always does in all aspects in her life. LOVE YOU SISTER B! (CAUTION...I look huge in this picture...)



THEN, my fabulous mom and awesome sisters threw me a baby shower! It was SO much fun and I got a lot of really cute stuff! It was so great to just have all of my cute aunts, grandma's and cousins there! My family really is so close and it is always so much fun to all get together!

I LOVE MY FAMILY!







I really loved every single thing that I got at my shower and needed all of it times 10, but these win the prize of one of my top favorites... My aunt Julee and her cute daughters made me thse quilts for Baby. O M G is all I have to say! Seriously Julee is SO talented and SO good at what she does! The thing that amazes me the most about quilts like this is that you just walk into a fabric store and buy tons of fabric and don't stress about if it matches perfectly and then once it is all put together it looks FABULOUS! I have a hard time making decisions like that so it always amazes me that others can do it so well. I can't wait to cuddle my little nugget in these cozy blankets!



And, my cousin Blakelee has become a great little photographer and took a lot of really cute pictures at my shower... Check out her blog to look at them cause she is awesome! http://blakey-theellisfamily.blogspot.com/


Today is my Moms' birthday! YAHOO! I just wanted her to know how much I love her and how amazing she is. She is the most compassionate person I know and will bend over backwards for anyone in need. I am SO lucky to have her as a mother and my little nugget is so lucky to have her as a grandma because she has already spoiled the crap out of him! LOVE YOU BIG CAT!!!

Catch Up...

I know, I know- I suck at blogging lately. Here are my excuses...
1- We went to Hawaii for 8 days
2- Our computer has a virus!
3- I am too tired!

Seriously I am getting more and more tired and worn out from simple every day things. It is no fun for anyone when I am tired because all I do is cry. It feels like it is umcontrolable and it just happens- Andrew really enjoys it. I really do feel bad because not only am I worthless cause I am too tied to do anything, I just lay there and cry so he can't get anything done either.

Here are some pictures of Hawaii- we really did have SO SO SO much fun and it was SO relaxing and SO great to have Andrew not at work everyday and be able to be with my family 24-7!



On our way to HAWAII!!!

Hawaii was SO much fun and I have a feeling that next year, with an 8 month old, it will be even better!

Now, here are my 28 week pictures! Can you believe it!?! I certainly CAN NOT believe that I am in my 3rd Trimester now! Where in the heck did the 1st and 2nd Trimesters go? Here was a little reality check for us- we went to Stork Landing- a cute baby store with cribs, strollers- you name it. We were just looking at some of the cribs and I asked how long it took to order a crib and the gril told me 6-10 weeks... 10 WEEKS! You're kidding me! I will be 39 weeks by then!!! No way will we be getting a crib from there...














I still am feeling great, just getting more tired like I said. Baby is NUTZ! When I do my Kick Counts and am supposed to get 10 in an hour, pretty sure I get 10 in about 3 minutes... You do the math at how many times that means he moves in an hour! He is going to be one wild little buckaroo, but we are getting more and more excited!!!

And, ELDER WESLEY HYDE GOT HOME!!! He was serving in the England Manchester Mission! We are SO excited for him to be home! I don't know what happened, but I didn't take any more pictures of Him at the airport...




And, last but not least, my two besties threw me a baby shower! It was SO SO SO much fun! I got some way good stuff and it was so much fun to see everyone. Betsy and Becca decorated so cute and did such a great job! I LOVE THEM!

OK, now this is the real last thing... Betsy is leaving on a missionon WEDNESDAY! Holy Cow! I seriously love her to death and can't imagine not being able to text her and ask her how to spell things, what decision to make or just to text her my random weird things that only she understands. I love her so much and am SO excited for her to serve in Uruguay! LOVE YOU BETS!



I threw her a surprise going away sleepover party and we had SO much fun doing absolutely nothing and staying up talking all night with all the girls!


K, I promise to blog more... Sorry! LOVE YA!

24 Weeks!

So here we are- 24 weeks! I know I say this every time, but seriously this is going by SO fast!I can't believe that baby is going to be here SO fast! I am SO excited!!! It is SO much fun going shopping for baby and imagining him wearing all these cute outfits! Here are some fabulous pictures of the big baby I will be having before I know it!






Can I just say how much I miss laying on my stomach! I seriously HATE not being able to climb up on my bed and lay on my stomach! That is one thing I will be looking forward to when baby is here. This month I have had some pretty awesome leg cramps in the middle of the night. It's really fun when I wake up screaming and Andrew freaks out and has to rub my legs til they stop- he's so sweet! The more water I drink the less cramps I get- and, if I eat a banana every few days that helps too cause I think I am low on potassium like every other woman in my family. All my aunts, grandma and mom take potassium pills. I have a Dr appointment on Monday so I am going to talk to my cute Dr. That's all for now! LOVE YOU!

P.S.- My uterus is the size of a Soccer Ball and yours is only the size of an Orange!
