Things Husbands Should NOT Say To Their Pregnant Wives

After finishing our meal at a local BBQ resturant...

" You ate more than I did!"
-Shawn

Po-Polympics


The other day Shawn and I were walking out of the gym...Shawn was wearing this shirt...and there was a police officer who was making a stop at the gym. We had just installed our car seat for the baby and were wondering if we had put it in right. We heard that you can go to a police station or fire station if you need help installing infant car seats...So Shawn decided to ask the officer about it. We had forgotten what shirt Shawn was wearing until later on that day...no wonder the cop was short with us and wasn't much help!

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!

Hats Off To The Grad!!

After a little over a year of hard work, tedious course work, and making good grades, Shawn has finally graduated with his Masters in Business Administration (MBA)!! (The reason why we are here in Texarkana...along with other government training) The day was bitter-sweet for us and our close friends we've made here. We had to say goodbye and prepare to go our seperate ways. Most of our group left after graduation for their new adventures in new places. We are grateful for the friendships and many memories here in Texarkana and wish only the best to our friends who have gone and friends we will leave behind who have all touched our lives in one way or the other!

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!
