Getting There...

Well I'm 36 weeks now, so it's coming to an end, but I still think I'll go into November.  My doctor said he thinks I'll go full term for sure, which I think he's basically saying I'll probably go over without actually saying it ha but me and Dal both called that I'll have this little boy on Halloween...mark my words.

So this one day Sagan asked me to send a pic to see how big I was getting so I sent her one, so next thing I know shes sending me a pic pushing out her stomach wearing the same thing, basically showing how much more massive I am than her right now ha, I didn't even get it at first, I just thought we were wearing the same shirt that day.  She had just colored her hair with color and instructions I left for her, and I liked hers way more than I liked mine after seeing it in this pic so I colored mine a few days later, so now we really do look exactly alike other than the fact that I'm "honkin huge" (as Bryir would say) and she's not.

 Don't mind my messy bathroom, or onery look in this pic ha

 This was after my baby shower in Salt Lake at Olive Garden.  We had SO much fun talking and all the girls giving me advice and we sat there and laughed for hours.  I look MASSIVE in this pic, probably not the best outfit choice on my part, it definitely makes me look bigger than I am ( I hope?). Thanks to all you girls for coming and all the cute gifts, I can't wait til he comes so he can wear/use everything!

The other night I was FREEZING and wanted hot chocolate so bad, so I went to make some and it had been expired for 2 years, apparently I don't drink hot chocolate fast enough, so we made a little stop at Mooch's (best gas station ever) and I got a steamy hot chocolate and Dal gets a freakin Frazil even though it was like 40 degrees outside.  I'm pretty sure it's a drink that only 4 year olds get ha but he loves them.



We are still just working away and waiting for this baby boy to get here, but definitely not holding our breath.  His room is done, we got his newborn sleeper in the mail today, and I think I honestly have everything that I have to have when he gets here, so I'm feeling pretty stress free.  Other than the fact that I actually have to push a baby out, that thought keeps me up most nights freaking out about that.  Mainly I'm stressed about the epidural, even though I'm set on the fact that I WILL get one.  If you guys know me and my sisters you know how scary a needle is, it's one of the scariest things in the world to me, so I feel bad for the poor guy that has to give me the dang thing.

I'm still working full time and I love that I have something to do while I'm waiting these last 4 weeks.  It keeps me busy and its actually a lot better to stand all day than to sit.  Sitting upright seriously cuts my breathing capabilities like in half and is pretty uncomfortable...does not make for a fun 3 hours at church when I can't sprawl out the way that I want to.

Dal is still working and going to school, he's so barely I don't see him very much but luckily this is the last semester that it will be this way, and one month down already so I think we'll live.

Midway and Jake and Alyssa's Wedding

This last weekend we got to go down to Lindon and go to one of Dal's best friend's reception.  We had to miss their sealing because Dal had class but we made it for the reception and it was SO pretty. It was at the coolest farm and was just perfect.  Afterwards we picked up my mom and went up to Midway to stay for the weekend and my dad met us late that night.  I had never been up there and I am in LOVE.  We stayed at the Zermatt Resort and I'm already trying to talk Cheyna into going and staying there, she loves hotels more than any person I know.

 The front of the Zermatt

 We don't really know how to play chess so this game didn't really happen haha

 Such a cute place!

 LOVE all the flowers everywhere, makes me want to go to Europe so bad.

 This is the way my dad and Dallan like to spend their vacations....sleeping.  Dal has taken up the Shumway way of napping.

 View from our room, so green!

 The boys at the reception

 This is how they do receptions, watching some random college football game on a phone, obsessed I'd say.

They sent this pic to Marcus, so mean! This is Marcus and Maria's little boy Braxtyn, cutest little guy.  These boys haven't seen him for quite awhile, and they tried to make Marcus a little jealous I think;)

It was a quick weekend but it was so fun to get away and go do something new like stay in Midway.  We probably won't really go anywhere now until after the baby comes so it was a nice little "last" getaway before our life completely changes ha but we are so excited and he can't come soon enough! (Even though I do want him to grow quite a bit more, I don't want him to be too flimsy!)

32 Weeks and First Day of School

I will hopefully be blogging a lot more consistently because Simone put me in charge of keeping her blog up to date every week, so since I'm already on doing that I may as well blog, which will probably be a bunch of nothing cause our life is just pretty chill and boring!

 Dal and his mom.  Liz, Jenny, Marci, Jill and Mike all came up and ran in the Top of Utah Half Marathon last weekend, it was so fun to have some visitors! They all did so good.  Also, Dal does have other clothes, I feel like he wears this shirt EVERY time we take a pic.

 This is from the demolition derby in Preston.  We went up to watch our friend Nick derby and it was so fun! We went to the Juab one this year too which was good because there were so many cars, but this one honestly was ran way better, it kept me entertained the whole time for once.  Dal is obsessed with derbys so we actually go to quite  a few!

 First day of his senior year...needless to say he was not pleased about going to school or having to take a pic. He'll be glad when he's an old many that I made him take all these pics though.

And here is me at 32 weeks.  I am starting to feel quite freaking massive.  I still feel great for the most part though which is good.  Bending over takes my breath away, I either sleep like a dead person or sleep TERRIBLE, depending on the night, I'm still able to go running, and I pretty much just hate getting dressed for work ha. Working in a salon you pretty much have to get decked every day and thats not the absolute funnest thing when you just feel massive so good thing leggings are still in because I live in them.  The style right now works perfect for a pregnant person haha. 

I start going every 2 weeks now, and then it will wind down to every week til he gets here! It feels so far away but so close at the same time, its crazy. His room is almost done, I'll post pics when it's finished.  

So far Dal has been busy but not hating his life, so that's good.  He usually is at school from about 8-3 then comes home until he works at 5, so honestly his schedule is pretty good this semester so far.  This should be the last hard semester and then his spring semester will be pretty easy is what we've heard.  

Work is good, I didn't realize how much I missed doing hair until I started doing it again full time.  It's such a chill job and my clients are seriously the best.  I've been working almost every single day for the past 2 weeks, so way more than full-time, but this next week it should chill out a little which will be nice.

End of Summer Picture Overload

So since I sucked at blogging again, I just threw a bunch of random pics up here

 At the lake with my parents' new boat. I'm pretty sure this was after the day that we had such a fun day and then when we went to leave the boat wouldn't start...I thought we'd die because there was lightning and finally we got "rescued" by the Park Service and they made us sit on the floor of their boat like we were Mexicans being deported.  So freakin embarrassing, I think I peed my pants laughting about the situation at least twice ha.

 She WOULD NOT smile for a pic, so this is the best we got

 This is from FOREVER ago at the 20 week ultra sound.  He kept sucking his thumb and when the tech would move him around to get another view he would move his arm and then start sucking his thumb again, it was seriously so cute.

 This is Shayne's tattoo that Dal drew with permanent marker while we were camping.

 And this is when Dal caught me in the camper downing the confetti cake right out of the pan.  We actually were hiding this from everyone so that we wouldn't have to share ha. It's like our favorite treat!

 My first day working with my friend Kelli up in Logan, she's the funniest, cutest girl, I just love her

 This is after Dal chased Shayne down one day because she decided she wanted to go to school, so she ran across Center Street and went to school ha

 Dal and Bry girl with their Icies (?) from Canyon Country.  She wanted a "No Cone" so bad but they were closed so she settled for a "Boo"one of these.

 I just love this pic of her and her moneys

 Me and Sim at her going away dinner. She's at the MTC now, her blog is simoneshumway@blogspot.com

 One of our last days at the Rez in Delta.  We spent so much time out there this summer and had so much fun, we were sad to leave.

 Dropping Sim off at the MTC.  Pretty sad day!

 At the derby in Nephi. Dal looked forward to this thing all year, and it was pretty good I'm not gonna lie.

Dal and Logan, we watched her for a full day and it was actually so fun, she is such a good little girl!




Well we are back up in Logan again, it is kinda bittersweet.  We had such a fun summer just playing and not really having much of a schedule, but I was a little ready to get back to a schedule and have to get up and get ready for the day.  We got all moved into our new apartment and we LOVE it, it's such a cute little place and we can't wait to get the baby's room all finished and get him here!

I'm a little over 30 weeks now, so we're on the countdown finally.  I still feel really good, still running and for the most part feeling normal. The only time I get super uncomfortable is when I've been sitting for a long time and his room gets restricted and he starts kicking my ribs, or when I've been running or walking for a long time and he relaxes and slumps WAY down.  I already carry really low but he gets even lower when I'm active for a long time.

I will update again soon, I hope!

Phone Pics

So these are a bunch of pics I've taken on my phone so far this summer.  For not having much to do this summer we have actually kept way busy, which has been nice since its busy fun stuff instead of school and work and all that. 

 Dal and Aspen out at the driving range.  She did not want to leave after she started hitting balls, so cute.

 We promised her an ice cream after and she couldn't have been happier!

 This kind of sums up the summer so far.  Every night Dal is usually loading up a 4-wheeler or the boat or something to go out and play, he is in heaven.

 Me and little Shayner girl

 Dal got to be in on the annual branding of the cows this  year, since he's never gotten to before.  I thought he would hate his life and never want to go back to Blanding after but he actually really liked it! Other than being sore for like a week after ha.

 Sagan and Nate came up for the boys to play in the all-night softball tournament in Delta and it was so fun having them here! We ate good food and just chilled, they need to come up again!

 Me and Aspen out on the boat one evening

 Brandon and Dallan that same night.  Look how happy these two boys are, they love everything about being outside.  Good thing they're basically the same person so that they always have someone to go do things with.

 Little Bry girl on the Silver Bullet at my parents house.  My mom blew this up and Bry jumped right on and we took turns pulling her around the yard, she thought it was the funnest thing ever! We found out she'll hang on even if she is hanging off the side, so it proves she'll be a good tuber, if only Gar will just let her now.

 Dal is obviously pretty excited to go to church...

 Here's my 21 week pic.  Starting to show a little more and it hasn't slowed down since then.  I feel like every day I get bigger and bigger, its so weird! We just started being able to see when he kicks on the outside of my stomach, it's the craziest thing, I love it! I will miss feeling him kick when he's out but I feel like I've been pregnant for a million years! I'll do a pregnancy post soon so I can write down everything that's been going on with all that soon.

We went to the movie "The Internship" a few nights ago, and at this point we were the only ones in the theater, and only 2 more couples came on a Friday night, so we pretty much had the theater to ourselves.  It was such a funny movie.  Dal always wants an action movie and I always want a chick flick, but we can always agree on a funny movie so this was right up our alley.



Dal is really liking working at the Plant this summer.  He's learning a lot and has such good hours, things really couldn't get any better this summer, we're pretty much just living a fake life I feel like.  My day consists of waking up whenever I want, going running, slowly getting ready for the day, watching my shows, going to the Rez or the park with my nieces and nephew, making dinner, then going to the Rez or 4-wheeling or to our softball games at night.  It's been SO nice, it will be hard to go back up to Logan for one more year!

Lake Powell

So we just got back from Lake Powell with Dal's family and we were so not ready to leave.  We spent 4 days there on their houseboat and just played and relaxed.  I have more pictures that I will need to put on once I get them from Jenny but this will do for now.

Dal wakeboarding, his favorite thing ever I think

 After the shaving cream war. There are way more pics of this that Jenny has that I'll put on when I get them. Thanks to Jill for bringing all the shaving cream, probably one of the funniest things ever!

 Ignore my looking like crap. I was not about to look in a mirror all week, and obviously I didnt.

This is just  a few of the fish Dal got, he lives for Lake Powell fishing, so its a good thing we get to go back with my parents a lot this summer!
