Gettin' Ready for Evelyne!

Time is sure flying by. Seems like just yesterday we found out we were pregnant. And now... I've got about 5 weeks left! From the very beginning I told myself this was going to be a piece of cake. And up until a few weeks ago it has been. I was super blessed and didn't get sick at all. Evelyne and I have been healthy and everything is looking great! However, I'm enjoying being pregnant less and less these days. I can no longer clip my own toe nails. Shaving my legs has become a chore. Even just putting on a pair of socks is hard to accomplish. ha I can't sit, stand or lay down in any position comfortably. Pretty much constant back pain. I've discovered heartburn! Never had it before until being pregnant. It's pretty horrible. lol I work two days a week, (Mondays and Tuesdays) and come Tuesday night, my feet are so swollen. It is actually pretty funny BUT not so comfortable. I've never been so moody in my life. Most of the time Stephen thinks I'm mad at him or I hate him.. Ha, AND.. most of the time I can't stand him. lol Poor guy. I cry all the time and the stupidest things. That's annoying. BUT Here in a few weeks, it'll all be over!!! I can't wait to have my little Evelyne!!!
Last week Stephen and I had our hospital tour. I'll be delivering at Southwest. Pretty much Stephen got out of the tour the same thing that I did. -FEAR- The lady was talking about stirrups, and squat bars and this and that. lol It was a little intimidating. And even though we had been there before visiting family and what not it sure is different when you're there for YOU! I've thought about it a lot though, well for about 35 weeks anyways.. I'm just worried that I'm going to not know what to do, or I'm going to do something wrong or my body just isn't capable of doing whatever the heck it's suppose to do. I just need to stay positive and know that we'll be taken care of. But it's so HARD TO STAY POSITIVE! Due to work Stephen was only able to go to two hours of the last birthing class I had. So my mom went with me. And she'll be in the delivery room. I wish she could take my place. lol But that probably wouldn't work, huh?! ;o) I know she's excited though and it'll be nice to have someone there that knows what the heck is going on because Stephen didn't learn anything about the labor delivery process and lets be honest, I'm a little A.D.D., so I didn't really get much out of the classes either. :) :) :)

Here are a couple new pictures. My belly's gettin huge!

Tis' the Season!!

Life has been amazing these last couple weeks. I couldn't be happier. Well, I'm sure when my little Evelyne comes, that's the happiest I'll be. :) However, I'm very satisfied with how my life has turned out and I'm so thankful for all that I have.

Two weekends ago, we moved into our house!! Here are a couple pictures of us signing papers! :)














This Thanksgiving was so nice and so not chaotic! We stopped by my dad's house and visited with him for a while. We hadn't been over there in a while so when he saw me he couldn't believe how pregnant I was! Up until now, my dad didn't seem very excited to be a grandpa. Considering the fact that I wasn't even suppose to get married till I was 35, that's just how he is. lol My step mom and brothers were thrilled from the very beginning! But now, my dad is getting more and more excited for the little girl to come. Any ways, after we visited with them for a little bit we headed our way up to Taylor Valley Rd. We had dinner with Stephens family at his parents and it was great! I didn't however get to enjoy my food all that much since I had heartburn and not as much room available to stuff my self as I had desired. Ha. Other than that it was great!

THEN, that night my little seeeester Hayden spent the night with us. It was fun. Origianlly Stephen was suppose to have Thursday-Sunday off for Thanksgiving, but since his promotion he was going to only have Thursday off. So we were kinda sad. Friday morning Stephen's alarm went off at 3:30am just like every other morning, and he just stayed in bed. I didn't want him to over sleep so I nudged him real good and told him to get up. He had a little grin on his face and said he didn't have to work!!! He surprised me. It was so sweet, I was soo excited! :) So we went back to sleep. Then around 8, Hayden and I got up and went shopping. We wanted to shop but didn't want to get up early and didn't have anything we were looking for that we needed to get up at 4 in the morning for. We hit Target, Fred Meyers, and the mall. Now I know I'm way too PREGNANT and I get way too HOT for all that shopping at once. But, Hayden had fun, we had our seeester bonding time and i made it! :)

Now, let me tell ya.. a couple days prior I had a little melt down.. the clocks a tick'n... We just moved into our house, we have NOTHING set up and ready for Evelyne and Stephen's working 7 days a week.. So I had been grumpy and irritable and that's when I finally confessed to Stephen how I was stressed and overwhelmed. SO, when Hayden and I got home from shopping, Stephen was upstairs in E's room... PAINTING :) :) :) He went and picked out the most perfect pink and he was painting his little heart out. He's so thoughtful and takes good care of me. :)

This last Sunday was my birthday. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. 23... How depressing. Ha. That was just the kinda mood I was in. Ugh! Stephen had to work, of course. Nothin he could do about it though. It was around 11:00am when I heard someone come in the front door. I was still in bed. ;o) It was Stephen! He usually gets off at 12 on Sundays. When he told the guys at work that it was his wife's birthday they let him go home early. Yay! He ended up getting me a cake and more stuff for Evlyne's room. :) Over all it was a great birthday. :)

TODAY- We went and got our very FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE!!! Last year which was 'technically' our first Christmas married, but we were living with Stephen's parents, SO this year, Christmas has been very exciting for me. Funny thing though- My whole life, I've had a REAL tree.. Stephens whole life, he's had a FAKE tree.. lol No offense to anyone who has a FAKE TREE but "BAH HUM BUGG!" :) It's the cutting down part that is soo fun! I think that Stephen really did have a good time tonight. I really tried hard to make sure he had a lot of fun. The questions that he had were so cute! He did so good cutting down our tree and I think it is just PERFECT! :)





There's our PERFECT TREE!!! :)
















I was REALLY Excited to get our Christmas Tree!
