No Baby Yet

Well, Today I am officially three days overdue! I am so bummed. I really though that she was going to be here by now and its really frustrating that she is still in my overstretched belly. I think that I got my hopes up when the doctor said that I'll either be up to a week early or on time, I know that that's a guestimate, but I really had high hopes. Today is my first "official" day off work, and I haven't even had her yet, its kinda hard to be taking un-needed time off. Steve is back to work, and I am so bored! I dont know how stay at home wives do it, cause I've only been up for four hours and I've already cleaned the entire house, done the dishes, in process of doing the laundry, and have scrubbed the bathroom. What else is there to do but clean? I know that I am venting all my negative feelings today, but I think that every first-time overdue mother can relate to these feelings. We are so stretched, miserable, and achy...but that's not even the half of it! I think that mostly I just want to carry her in my arms, hold her little hand, and just love her. Everyday I walk into her nursery and wonder, how much will she weigh? Will she come soon? What does she look like?" I have a doctors appointment to be induced on the 30th of April, so at least I know that I only have 10 more days max, but I hope that she gets here sooner than that.

Baby's Room!

Well today we finally moved out the bed that was just chillin in the baby's room (I hate to keep calling her "The Baby" but we aren't for sure about names yet, so baby it is for now), and we were able to finally set things up in the layout that we wanted, and then put things on the walls. My sister Angie made all the vinyl dots and rings that are around the entire room, and they turned out so cute! So if anyone is interested her site is: http://www.angiesvinyl.blogspot.com, she has some really amazing ideas. As for the furniture... I found a changing table on KSL for $10 and steve painted it white with his air-gun, and the crib was a yardsale crib my mom found, so steve got new parts for it and painted that as well. Let me just tell you how cute it looks. I'm so glad that we didn't just go out and buy an expensive bedroom set, this is so much cuter and adds more character to the room! This room has been a really long process, but it turned out so nice and it is now ready for whenever she decides that it is time to come out!

Baby Shower!

Well, a few saturdays ago, I had another baby shower. This one was from my mom's side of the family, and Steve's dad's side of the family. It was such a great time, we sat and visited, played a game, opened gifts, and then had a delicious lunch. It was really nice to have the ladies in my family all together. This shower, unlike my last one, I actually remembered to take some pictures! I was a little torn as to whether I should post the pics or not, because I am like HUGE! But I decided to post some of them. Its really frustrating because I have such a short torso that there really is nowhere for my baby to go, but out. So I have this really big belly balooning from just my front, unlike everyone else who gets pregnant where they distribute the weight evenly over their entire midsection. But I only have two more weeks left to go, so I guess I'll just have to handle it.

Swimming!!

Well, on our last week off from work Steve and I headed down to Cedar City for one last visit before the baby came. My sisters-in-law (Krystal and Sheri) and my mother-in-law helped to throw me a baby shower, and it was so much fun. I saw friends and family there that I haven't seen in a long time, and we had a good time just visiting and catching up. Later that night the entire Fobert family wanted to go swimming at Cedar City's public pool, I wasn't really down for this considering a) I really am not a chlorine fan being a contact wearer, b) I didn't bring a swimsuit, and c) Um...Hello, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and HUGE! But Krystal talked me into going and so we all piled in the van and went, and... It was so much fun!! We had such a nice time soaking, playing, and relaxing, and it was so fun to see all the kids splashing around and goofing off. It felt really good letting the pressure of my belly off my back, feet, and ribs. I recommend a nice long swim to anyone who is pregnant and needing to relax when the tub just doesn't do it. Robert had a water-proof camera and took lots of crazy pics of us underwater and playing around, so here are some of those pics (and some of them are pretty funny).

Painting the Baby's Room!

Well, this is (finally) the week that we are starting to get the baby's nursery all ready! We have had all the bedding for weeks, but just haven't had the time off from work to get it done. Steve is going to be painting the walls green and tan, and then we get to put up our crib! I think that once the room is ready I'll be able to relax more knowing that if she were to come sooner rather than later, we'd be ready for her. I still have ten more weeks of this pregnancy to go, and I am counting off the days on my calendar till I'm finished. I have mixed feelings about pregnancy, I love the fact that I am carrying another person in me...its such a neat feeling, but the pains are horrible! I also think that I am just anxious to get her in my arms already.

2nd Trimester Ultrasound

Well, yesterday Steve and I went to the Doctor's office for our monthly visit. We were at ninteen weeks and the Doc said that we could finally have our ultrasound!! We were so excited. We are having a little girl!! I am so excited, here is a profile picture of the little lady. Now it's time to decorate the baby's room!

Halloween

This last week we went to Moroni to visit the Family for Halloween. We had a great time, I had just finished up my rotation weeks for work and I finally got a week off after 5 straight weeks of work! Mostly we just relaxed, tended my neices, watched the World Series (GO YANKEES!!) and I caught up with fam while Steve played basketball and golf. It was also my neice, Tylee's Birthday party on Saturday, so I helped my sister with that. It was so fun to see the little kids running around a playing games, it is so weird that Im going to have one of those little squirts soon, CRAZY! We got the girls ready and took them to the Mt. Pleasant parade, they looked so cute in their witch costumes. I cant wait till next year till I have a little rascal to dress up. We will be finding out in three weeks if it is a boy or a girl, and I cant wait!! After that then I can actually start buying things and getting the baby's room painted and ready.
