Update

I haven't posted in 20 days. . . life has been incredibly busy.

since i have posted the following has happened in my pregnancy realm of life.....

-I have gone into labor multiple times and needed a trebutaline shot to stop the contractions.
-I have had crazy amounts of contractions--mostly braxton hicks--but annoying nonetheless
-I reached 34 Weeks! YAY!
-We got an official inducement date of January 2nd. (i hope she chooses to come a little before then ut at least i have a surety of an ending in sight. THANK GOODNESS)
-I officially waddle like a duck
-I am officially done being pregnant and would like it to be over soon. annoyed. uncomfortable. anxious to see our baby Mina.

In the other parts of our life
-We moved this weekend. a 3 bedroom apartment!! I am soooo happy to have extra room and be settled enough that I can set up her room and be totally completely 100 percent set up for when she comes. I don't have a crib yet...but my mom keeps telling me to relax and that it is unnecessary to have right away...still anxious about it but i will deal with it and trust her seeing as how she has had 6 children.
-We had thanksgiving. We were bummed because we were supposed to go to PDX but because Mina keeps trying to make early appearances we including my doctor decided it would be a better decision to stay close. We did have fun with my family and enjoyed the smoked turkey Vaughn made.
-Wes and I are officially completely registered for school. i am only taking one class but Wes is taking 4 and i believe he is pretty stoked to be going back!

Well that is all. I will post a picture and update tomorrow when i look presentable.

Our Maternity Pictures

Again I say.....my husband is a stud. seriously a hottie. If Mina gets any looks from him she will be in luck!

The Baby Showers.

this will be my last post for the day.

My friends are amazing. I couldn't ask for better ones. Devin, Ashley, Tara, and Emily all threw an amazing shower that couldn't have been any better. I was absolutely amazed at how much work they put in just for me. It was beautiful. Here are a few pics from the day taken by Ashley :)

We had so many wonderful people come and join the fun. Jennifer, Cydnee, Alexa, Virginia, Alyson, Cami, Margeaux, Carlie, and few other people. ( i have a terrible memory right now...this is why i blog. so i remember stuff like this.)


We also got to open a gift from NaNa Speight and got a bunch of super cute outfits!


I loved the cupcake theme. I loved everything about it really!

This past weekend my mom through me a family baby shower (and a few friends came as well!)
It was also wonderful. We had delicious soup. Vaughn made a cauliflower chicken soup and my mom made very yummy cheddar cheese ham and potato soup. We also had a plethora of desserts.
We had my mom, Kylie, my Aunts Judi, Jill, Becky, Jacki, Holly, Tammy, and Amber. From my home ward we had Christy Layne, Becky Lundberg, Katherine Lambourne, Julie Sanford. My cousins Missy and Brittany and my Grandma Masson. We got tons of cute clothes, diapers, toys, and my Uncle Tracy made an adorable magnet board to hang in her nursery.

Here are some pics from that shower

i am so thankful for all the support we have been given!!

Poor Wesley

My belly is getting increasingly big... The other day i needed to paint my toenails because i was wearing open toed shoes. i definitely couldn't reach well enough to do it. So i asked Wes to do it. What a good husband he is.
I am actually pretty dang impressed with the caliber of his nail painting.

yep. my toes are swollen too. oh the joys of being massive. Its all for a good cause though.

Cancun!!

We went to Cancun and very much enjoyed the vacation! I did struggle when we walked around Chichen Itza a bit because i got tired pretty dang fast. I also took probably close to 400 naps (okay maybe not that many) but i really did take a lot of them. It was a much needed babymoon and it was just what the doctor ordered!

I haven't updated in way way too long...

I have been so crazy busy i haven't really had time to update...so prepare yourself. there will be a few posts tonight.

First of all I am 30 weeks! yay! We are almost there!! Here is my 30 week picture....in my halloween costume.

Best moment of the week: We went to Cancun and enjoyed a wonderful vacation, then we came home and enjoyed a fun party with friends, i then had 2 baby showers (posts to come), and then Halloween!! 

Movement: Mina is a VERY hard kicker. i get woken up in the middle of the night from one swift kick.
