NOTHING!
They just stopped... HOLY CRAP is this annoying/ exciting/ scary/ frustrating/ overwhelming... After an hour we called Labor and Delivery and they said I could come in, or wait til they got worse and closer. I told them maybe I'd wait a little longer and then come if they were still coming on strong. I was seriously shaking uncontrollably. Ya know when you are shivering because you are SO freezing, that is what I was doing times 10! It was insane!
The whole time I've been pregnant me and my sister Emily have joked (but were totally serious) that when I was going into labor that she was going to come over and curl my hair all cute and big. SO, around 1:00am I called her BAWLING and she ran over- so sweet Em! As we were curling my hair and trying to distract me is when the contractions STOPPED... So, it's 2:00 in the morning, I'm lookng fabulous and have no contractions. Emily is exhausted and Andrew is passed out on the bed... All night I kept thinking those dang contractions would come back or my water would break, but NO! I had the worst night sleep because I was really trying to stay awake...
And, incase anyone is wondering what is going on now at the Hyde house, it is about the same... every 5 minutes, but not as intense as last night. I don't know what to do... I just want to have this baby RIGHT NOW!!!
Wish us luck! Love Ya!
P.S.- I am 39 weeks today- YAHOO!

These past few weeks...
Well here we are, 8 months pregnant and ready to POP... literally! I can't imagine getting any bigger, but some how I do. Some how every Dr's appointment the scale keeps climbing higher and higher- what a confidence booster! Man Alive am I ready to be done! At my 36 week appointment I was dialated 1 cm. and 70% effaced. Yahoo! So, I have pretty much given up on an October baby, but that is ok because now we'll have 3 birthday months in a row!
August 30- Andrew
September ?- Baby Bear
October 1- Me!
Did you guys start dialating and effacing at 36 weeks? Just wondering what the norm is, but everyone is SO different I don't think there is a norm...
So I am still teaching ballet and it is so good for me. It is good to still feel involved, get a little bit of exercise and I really do still love it so much. Last week I made Emily take some pictures of me just because I am a dork and just to remember that I could still do a few things being 35 weeks pregnant.
Splits! (Sorry this pic won't flip!)
Arabesque!
Tilt!
Andrew turned 25! Yep, he's a quarter centery- what an old guy! I can't even explain how much I love him and how amazing he is to me. I really am not kidding- he NEVER EVER complains! He is always happy! Normal, I hate people that are always happy because I think that as a human you get mad, angry, frustrated, stressed, blah blah blah, but no- he doesn't. He always has things the way they need to be and everything works out so great. I couldn't have married a better man and I truly feel bad for everyone else cause no one else gets to be married to him but me!
Yes, this is the pathetic cake I made him... I have so much more respect for the ladies with the hair nets at the grocery store who decorate the cakes- this was super hard and it looks super not so good!
LOVE YOU BABE!
We didn't do anything too spectacular because I had ballet til later, it was pooring rain that day and I was just to dang tired! I got us Firehouse to go and we ate a fabulous dinner and then watched Date Night- one of his presents. We LOVE that show- it is seriously our favorite show!
I also got myself a rocking chair/ glider. I am in love with it! I seriously can't tell you how awesome it is! Sitting in one for 2 minutes in the store is great, but sitting in one for fifteen minutes at home just about puts me to sleep it is so relaxing! I think it is a for sure must for any mom! Andrew was not too thrilled with this prchase, but I have found him multiple times rocking away in the nursery because I know he loves it too- even if he won't admit it.
For Labor Day weekend my mom's side of the family rented out this cabin/lodge/ big open building thing up Logan Canyon at Camp Lomia. It was such a great weekend with everyone- I love having nothing planned, tons of food and family and games to play- we really did have so much fun!
For Sunday we had our own little meeting. My musical Aunt Julee did the music, my spiritual giant of a father did a little lesson and my grandpa did a great job conducting the whole thing and it was so great. We had a mini testimony meeting and it was really great. I love my family and am so grateful for the gospel in our lives.
This was the only part of the trip that I HATED, not hated, but HATED!!! We decided to drive up to Old Ephraim's Grave. Old Ephraim was like the world's largest bear and was buried up Logan Canyon. The reason that I hated this was because the road that we had to drive on was EXTREMELY bUmPy and EXTREMELY nArRoW! I don't do well with bumpy and narrow rides because it makes me nervous that our car will tip over or something. SO, adding the pregnancy too it made the trip even worse! And, when someone tells you that it is "just about 10 miles" you don't think that it will take AN HOUR to get there! Seriously every bump hurt my bump and it really was painful to try and hold my belly while we were going over such horrible roads! I cried a little bit on the way up, had a few contractions and complained the entire time. On the way home I didn't cry, I BAWLED my eyes out, had some very real contractions and made sure that everyone knew how much I hated the entire experinece! I'm just a real treat aren't I... ; )
Don't let these smiles fool you- I was in pain...
We also did SMORES- my favorite! My cousin Blakelee had THE BEST idea to use Reese's Peanut Butter Cups instead of chocolate- it was SO yummy! You have to try it!
It wouldn't be a normal Ripley Camping Weekend without a few campfire songs. Wonderfuly talented Julee had tons of songs to sing that brought back so many fun memories of camping when we were just little ones. Thanks Julee!
Singing songs and playing games!
I LOVE my family more than anything and really am so blessed to have them in my life!
Here is my last really great story... So you might know that I am a little superstitious. I am a littlestitious as Michael Scott would say. On June 6 I got a fortune cookie that said,
"Remember three months from this date. Good things are in store for you."
SO, three months is today- September 6... LABOR DAY! Seriously if I have this baby today (I'm sure I won't) I might have to change my religion to the Fortune Cookie Church of Truth!
I'll keep you guys informed on my progress with the pregnancy- I go back in to the Dr on Wednesday and I am SO excited to see how much more I am dialated and everything! And yes, our bags are packed and we're ready to go!
LOVE YA!

End of Summer
We have tried to make the best of our last month of summer and have done a few fun things... Here are some pictures!
Went to the Cache Valley Fair and Rodeo ( I don't know why this picture has spots all over it, we took 2 different pictures in this cow barn and they were being so weird!)
Playing some softball...
Then, this last weekend we went up to Bear Lake with the Hyde Family. It really was so much fun! We went out to dinner...
Hung out with the smilliest little guy ever, Baby McKay!
All the boys watched Football, of course!
Threw some rocks...
Played with our toes...
Stayed up late playing games!
Got ready for the Lake- Dylan and Andrew are so cute together!
I seriously look like a whale in this picture!
We also have got our nursery "ready!" I say "ready" because the decorations that we have up are kind of temparary because I don't love them and because I want to hang newborn pictures of the baby up, but obviously can't do that yet. And, I want to hang his name either abouve the crib or above the curtains and since we don't have a name yet, we can't do that either... But, at least everything else that matters is ready! I LOVE our furniture and everything!
Crib!
Bedding from Pottery Barn
Dresser and Hutch!
Cute Changing Table that we mainly got to put these cute PB Baskets on for more storage space...
Curtains!
And, the best part- our diaper bags! Mine is SO freaking cute and I love love love it! I got the Michael Jordan one for Andrew's Car Diaper Bag- he thought it was pretty cool ;)
Lately, not just because I eat everything that I see or that pops into my mind, but because soon we will have a newborn- we have been making midnight trips to get slurpees, shakes and frostys- O WAIT, last night Wendy's RAN OUT OF FROSTY'S!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I was seriously angry! Anyways, that is why I am getting so big, but really we've got to live up our freedom while we can!
What else should we do while we can? Any suggestions? LOVE YA!

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!
Eating at out favorite restaurant Mangy Moose!
Old Faithful...
Old Faithful...
Old Faithful...
Elk...
In Yellowstone...
Yellowstone National Park...
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!!!
