The Last Stretch
Yup...I am still pregnant but only have 3 1/2 more weeks!? So really she could come anytime! My sister can pretty much predict everything, and she says our baby girl will be here by 38 weeks...so we will see.
Yesturday we had a doctor's apointment...again...but this was THEE big one. We were going to find out if I would have to have a c-section...we were all pretty much preparing for a c-section because of my placenta, but to everyone's surprise the placenta is now out of the way!! (Thank you for all your prayers and concerns!) How blessed we are to have had such a wonderful pregnancy with only minor aches and pains and a healthy baby! I am still feeling GREAT, just can't wait to see our baby!
Our little girl's measurements are showing her to weigh about 5lbs 11oz and the Ultra Sound tech said she can see a lot of hair on her little head! Amazing!

Back Home
After a 2 weeks visit to Logan Utah Shawn and I are back in Texarkana...but not for long. The trip was awsome! Because of baby showers and a wedding we got to see a ton of friends and family! The morning after we got to Logan, Shawn and his dad, brothers, and uncle, were off to spend 4 days at the Wind Rivers (you can read more and see pictures below in Shawn's post). He had a great time while I was miserable not knowing if he had been eaten by a bear or not.
Below we have posted a few of the main events while in Logan. My older brother Jake and his girlfriend drove up from California to drop in and say hi on their way up to surprise my sister and her kids. It was great to see my brother after almost a year!
Now that we are back things really haven't slowed down...I am due in less than 4 weeks and we are moving to Maryland in 5 weeks! I haven't even had time to finish Breaking Dawn...I know, I know, I can hear everyone's gasps!

Second Baby Shower
During our visit to Logan, while Shawn was on his backpacking trip, I had a baby shower with friends and family! Thanks to my Mom and Sister who planned a ver
y fun shower! And I can't forget to thank the other two big helpers Madi and Emma, my beautiful nieces! It was SO good to see so many relatives! My mom and sister-in-law, Jeana, flew in from California (Jeana is preg as well and had a baby shower while she was in Logan too) and my sister and her 3 cute kids came in from Nampa Idaho...and then more of Shawn's side of the the family came from Malad for the Shower...We've been spoiled once again by friends and family with Tons of great baby stuff! A big thank you to everyone!
*Pictures were donated by Jessica Atkinson, my sister-in-law...Shawn had our camera!

Wind Rivers Backpacking Trip
We had an awesome 4 day backpacking trip in the Wind Rivers this year. We caught a lot of fish, saw some amazing vistas, and did a ton of hiking (30 miles in 3 days). The coolest part of the trip was our day hike to the Cirque of the Towers. (That's the area with the big granite peaks). It was so nice to be back up in the mountains after living in the flatlands of the dirty south for the past year. We've already started planning our trip for next summer and I can't wait!! -Shawn

Less Than 7 Weeks...
We had another baby checkup this morning...Our baby girl is doing great! I am in my 8th month, and baby Atkinson could be here in less than 7 weeks! It feels like a few months ago I was finally looking at a little plus sign, but at the same time I've kind of forgotten what it feels like to not be pregnant! This pregnancy has been such a blessing!
We are off for our 2 week visit to Logan, Ut in the morning! We are very excited for family, camping trips, a baby shower, and a wedding!

This Past Week
Breaking Dawn is here! If you remember a few posts back I was pumped about the midnight release party for Breaking Dawn...it turned out to be the worst release party ever! I'm pretty sure I was the oldest one there...well...Shawn was the oldest one...We were surrounded by teens dressed in Jnco jeans and guys with long hair pulled back in low pony tails and their girlfriends telling me that they are off drugs now and their relationship with their mom has improved because their mom now lets them smoke...
