THanK tHe HeAveNs, YaY!

Sooo... ready for the latest update?? I went to the doctor this morning and I am dilated still to a 1+, BUT - I'm 70% thinned/effaced and the baby's head is at a zero station (right in the pelvic bone!)! Laurie Hansen, my CNM, says he could come this week and he's definitely not waiting till Christmas, woohoo!! But holy moly...THIS week?! Poor David Sr if that happens, ha ha. Pretty stinkin exciting though, eh?!


Speaking of other things to be thankful/grateful about...we spent Thanksgiving with the Jackson Family and it was FANTASTIC! SO much fun! Made us not miss our family so bad - Thank you guys So Much!!

David got to play some basketball - here's a sweet picture that Todd took... (So dramatic!)


The food was delicious - ate it all day - and more the next day, ha ha! We played games, held babies, played with the grandkids, took the family pictures for them, watched them open Christmas presents, and played the Wii and Kyle's most awesome redneck gift from Kaden - Hunter Hero!! Now THAT was fun - stayed up till around 1 am playing. Me and Kyle killed the same amount of deer - 24, and David and Kaden killed the same amount - 14. I want to play again...

Here are some of the family pictures - they're fun :)

Oh! And then all the girls, plus me, went to go see New Moon the day after - ha ha me and Jessica feel it was a bit cheesy and fantasy-like. Some parts were almost a comedy - great laughs! Jessica's done with Twilight stuff, ha ha. I don't care either way. I've got my own man with beautiful abs and a more manly voice and he's not going to kill or hurt me, ha ha. It wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't my favorite. :)

Progress & Memories

So! Latest news? I'm dilated to a 1+ and my cervix is thinning, which could mean not very much, or it could mean baby's coming soon! Who knows. Either way it's exciting for me!! I'm excited for next week's appointment! (Tune in Monday - if I post another update - for the next piece of progress)

As for memories...Katie Boyack took some fantastic pictures of Me & the Davids at our baby shower for friends up in Salt Lake! She charges what, $20-30 depending on what you want and then takes the pictures and sends them to you on a CD! AWESOMENESS!!! Here's some of my favorite pictures...

Are they not just SO lovable!?
I know I love them!

She did a GREAT job! I'm so excited to get this little guy in my arms and do some more pictures!! Goodness! What does he look like?!

iMpeNdiNG HaPpiNeSs...

Hello all! We are 3 weeks and...1 or 2 days away from the due date for our little David Jr! Holy moly, where does the time go?! Last week flew by and if it keeps going this way we'll have our baby before I get to post another blog probably, ha ha!

From the moment we set eyes on each other on MySpace it was doomed to be. Attraction, weird but fun phone calls and messages were sent, and then my Uncle Louis unknowingly made it possible for us to meet and have our first date at his funeral viewing. (Thank you and miss you, Louis!) Since then we pretty much knew we wanted to spend our lives together for all eternity and we've done everything we can to keep it that way. We both feel like we're the luckiest people in the world and sometimes wonder if we live in a bubble of giddiness and can't see whatever goes wrong...

Everything has worked out almost perfectly and we are constantly being blessed and surviving when we really shouldn't be. Seriously - I have no idea how we are affording to live still with David making $600 a month and our rent being $600 a month and still having to pay bills, eat food, and all of our trips to Salt Lake to visit family. We end up with exactly the amount we need to keep us going and I feel that it's truly a blessing of tithing and doing our best to do what we feel is right.

Anyway, the days are flying and we're getting closer and closer and almost feeling ready except for a few things! I talked to my doctor this morning and am still measuring a little over a week behind (but it's been that way the entire time) - he's really good at hiding! I talked to her about the baby shower we were thinking about doing for the family and she doesn't think we should be driving up to Salt Lake and back a week before the due date for Thanksgiving and shower. If I didn't care who delivered the baby or where then it probably wouldn't matter but it was kind of risky...oops! So - I guess the family gets to see the baby when we finally get to do the baby shower! I'm pretty bummed to be missing two of my favorite holidays with family though...Thanksgiving and Christmas - it'll be strange for sure! I'm sure the new addition to our family will keep me pretty occupied though. :) I can't wait to see what he looks like!! My face, David's head shape? Blonde? Brunette? Red-head?? Blue eyes? My guess is ... David's head shape, brunette, blue eyes...and ... my tan skin. We shall see!
