Waiting for baby!

After NY I went home to Rexburg and hung out with my parents! I love being home. We ate out of the garden everyday, loved the summer storms, had lazy days, and watched as my belly grew every day! All my dr's appointments went great. My mom and I went to Price, UT for one weekend and hung out with all my Aunts. I made some bibs and onesies that I saw on pinterest. Adam came home from VA 2 weeks before my due date and we got busy to get ready for baby! It was nice to be busy but then when we got everything done- all I had to do was wait.....was today going to be the day? I had been dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced for almost three weeks. When we went to my 39th week Dr's appointment she talked about inducing me at 41 weeks if he hadn't come. Oh I had thought about him coming early but never thought about going over haha. But I felt so great that I was ok with going over. I loved being pregnant and I was so nervous about the change a baby brings I was ok with whenever. Adam and I enjoyed just being lazy! We went to the pool everyday and went out and had a fun time before this new phase of life happened. Adam was more anxious than I and often asked if I wanted to go for a walk or go eat spicy food! I knew I didn't really want to be induced and wanted him to come on his own so I bounced on an exercise ball and we hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls, ate spicy food (which kept me up all night with heartburn), and took nice walks. He did come and only three days late and we love him!

Summer time

I can't believe how fast the time flies by! This summer was so fun! In VIrginia the weather was so hot! These pics are from my phone for a little update!
Jess and I went to Rockville to visit our friend and while we were there we got us some yummy cupcakes from Georgetown cupcakes and we hit up ocean city. We had a blast!
Kacie my beautiful and talented sister in law took some pictures of Adam and I before I left. Right before we went to get ready to take the pictures the weather looked like it was gonna be cloudy and smoggy but we decided to go and hope for good lighting. I'm glad we did. The lighting was perfect and we found the perfect spot by accident!
We had a great time in Winchester and because I had to go home at the end of July my mom and sisters and sisters in law decided we needed a girls trip and went to NY. It was so fun and perfect weather. We had missed the heat wave and we were all so glad. We went to Wicked, ate good food, saw the sites, shopped a little and had a great time! Right before NY I had a Dr's appointment. I hadn't been to a Dr. all summer other than going to a lab to take my glucose test(which I failed). I was going to take the 2nd glucose test and make sure everything was going good.
Everything looked great-that Dr. said I was really really healthy with good bones. He did advise me not to travel and go to NY and so for a second I thought about not going. He told me i would probably have my baby and he would be in the Nicu and it would be horrible. But I had to fly home anyways and after talking to my Dr's office they said I would be ok and that I would swell....and I did! The worst was flying home from NY, by the time we got to Adriennes house my ankles were huge! I am so glad I went 8 months pregnant and everything! I didn't slow the girls down at all and even out shopped them the last day!
I ended up never getting my 2nd glucose test and when I got back to my Doctor in Utah they did a random blood sugar test and didn't feel like I needed to take the three hour test at 35weeks. I was so happy.
