My Dr. is Awesome!

I know most people in our ward go to the same doctor and rave about him but I have to say my doctor is the best! Today at my appointment not only did she tell me how excited she was but she also asked if I would be ok letting Shawn deliver the baby. (of course she may just be glad to not see me again but I'll assume that's not the case) I knew he would jump at the chance so of I of course said sure. He's now very excited and I just love my doctor even more, she's great. So thanks Bethy for getting me in to see her because lets be honest I wouldn't get in if you didn't make the call. Oh and here is a little randomness for the day. I have to say I've a little bit always wanted this to happen to me. While we were at Costco one of the ladies that works there asked if I was having a boy. I said yes and she said he'll be about 7 or 7 1/2 lbs, which according to my dr. is right on the money. I've always thought it was funny how people can guess what you're having and how big the baby will be. Maybe other people don't think its as cool but I kind of do. So Monday will probably be the big day which is great because I really need to finish most, if not all, of Caroline's christmas dress before he gets here!

Excited

Shawn has been very vocal about how excited he is for the baby to come. So excited in fact its rubbed off on the kids. Not just Caroline either, Devin has joined in on the fun too. This morning Devin ran up to me put his hand on my stomach and said, "Baby out please." It was hilarious and I blamed Shawn for putting him up to it but it turns out he came up with it all by himself. I"m glad he's excited about being a big brother but part of me knows he'll probably change his mind once the baby is actually here. I'm just going to enjoy the excitement while it lasts.

Finally!

After 41 long weeks of pregnancy my little sister finally had her little baby! We are so excited to meet little Violet and can't wait to see pictures! Congratulations Lindsey and Brandon!

Pie Night

So I hope people read this before tonight otherwise I"m going to have a whole chocolate pie to myself. Tonight is dessert group and I'm making a yummy chocolate pie to share so come on over at 7:30 if you want any! I hope to see people there!

Weekend Update

Holy cow I'm becoming one of those bad bloggers that I hate. I'm really having a hard time putting my thoughts down in a cohesive way and I'm sure today will be just as scatter brained as the last several posts. Anyway, this weekend was wonderful! Friday we went to Austin for a friend's pre wedding dinner and had fun talking on the way up and back and witnessed a miracle. It turns out that our van can go SEVERAL (like 5-10) miles on no gas, it was quite amazing. And we were very grateful seeing as it was about 10:30 and we didn't want to be stuck on I-10 all night. Saturday we took advantage of the cool autumn weather and went to the zoo with some friends. It was fun other than the fact that I was contracting for a while but after that wore off it was great. After Shawn had reached his capacity of being around crowds we just lounged around the house enjoying the peace before the baby comes. I'm kind of hoping we have just one more quiet weekend ahead before baby mania but who knows. I also need some input on what pie to make for dessert group. Apple, chocolate, banana cream or key lime. Which ever one wins out I'll probably be making so hopefully people will check and give me some input!

Just Fine

So yesterday went great. No problems with the baby or my fluid level. I guess he's just in a weird position and will be a little bit smaller than Devin, thank goodness! Thanks for everyone's concern. On another bright note Shawn got to come to the appointment and then came home and made dinner for me. It was great and very yummy. As for names I have no clue what to call this little guy. Caroline really likes Graham but I think I'll just have to see what he looks like first. At this point I may just take Mabel's (my niece) advice and call him cheese cracker baby. Oh and I've been meaning to post this for a few days but dessert group will be next Wednesday at my place as long as I'm not in labor (which I shouldn't be.) The theme is pies to get us revved up for Thanksgiving. You can still bring anything but I'm making a pie! Yum.
