Baby Stuff Galore

This week has been crazy (besides recovering from food poison or a major stomach bug)! We have been getting large packages almost every day of things for Hailey's bedroom! We got a stroller, car seat, bouncy chair (thanks to the wonderful anna-banana), rocking glider chair, and a new cubby/storage system for our room to better condense all of our stuff and better accommodate our baby! It's been great being able to see things slowly come together for her room! I'm so excited to get it all ready for her! Only 2 weeks and 3 days left!!! But who's counting, right? I just can't wait to hold the squishy little munchkin for the first time!!!


Anyone seen "The Adjustment Bureau" with Matt Damon? Well we watched it this week and it was pretty good. Kind of an interesting concept about agency ad free will. Plus it had Matt Damon.... 'nough said. I also just say the movie "9" by Tim Burton... not gonna lie- I really didn't like it. I mean, what was the point!? Seriously. Then there was "Slumdog Millionaire" which I really enjoyed. It was slightly depressing and graphic, but I really liked the cinematography and story line. Builds Character!

A Double Triathlon!

On saturday Ryan completed his very first triathlon here in rexburg called the Rush Triathlon. He did a great job! I was so proud of him! I may or may not have gotten teary-eyed here and there... but there is no proof and if there were, I would blame it on the pregnancy hormones! I had to run a 1/2 mile just to make it to the beginning of the race on time. Why would they make the parking lot so far away?! DUmb. I was exhausted afterwards. WHo'd a thunk that watching a triathlon could be so exhausting! lol. Afterwards, to celebrate, we went to a pizza buffet with our friend Tyler and Kira and their son Lincoln. We spent the rest of the day relaxing and napping.


Then came the second triathlon. Ryan and I spent the entire night taking turns throwing up in the toilet... or tub- which ever was most available. I'm thinking it was food poisoning from something we ate on Sat. Not really sure though, I'm just glad it's finally over. We spent all day Sunday recovering and taking it easy... and basically being lazy. But that's allowed when we didn't sleep all night due to puking, right?

San Diego Vacation

As you may know, we recently went down to San Diego, CA for yet another wedding! This time it was for Ryan's sister, Ashley's, wedding! And what a beautiful wedding it was! Ashley looked gorgeous and Chris (her husband) was glowing like a pregnant woman! :) They've been waiting a long time for this wedding! Congrats to Ashley and Chris! Love you guys!
Did I mention that this was the 3rd wedding I've been a bridesmaid in while being pregnant?! How crazy is that! Everyone just HAD to get married this year! Hahha. Oh well- it's been great. I do enjoy my vacations to San Diego. We took another trip to Sea World, went to the beach, went to the temple, helped with a wedding and even had a baby shower for our little Hailey! It was a great week!
Now I'm home and in the last stretch of my pregnancy! 3 1/2 more weeks until due date! WOO! I'm getting very antsy! I can't wait to meet this little girl that puts constant pressure on my ribs! We ordered her stroller and car seat this week- should be hear next week! Ah! Can't wait!

Cramped Quarters

This week was kind of crazy! My sister flew in for EFY this week and my uncle, his family, and my grandma came out too so that my cousins could go to EFY as well. While my sister and cousins were at EFY my uncle, his wife and my grandma stuck around to hang out with Ryan and I. It was really great to see them again and have them in our home- but boy does our small apartment heat up quickly with so many bodies in it! Or maybe it was just me... I felt like I was going through a heat wave all week! I got to show them all around rexburg (which didn't take long) and campus and such and down to Idaho Falls also! It was fun! Sydney stayed for an extra weekend. We went shopping and bought baby clothes! hehhe. We also played games and watched movies! I kinda wish she could have stayed longer! But alas- duty calls and we must go to work. Next week- SAN DIEGO!!!

Only 6 more weeks of Pregnancy! I can't believe how fast it is going by! We CANT wait! I think Hailey is getting antsy in there too- she is moving and kicking all over the place! it's fun to watch!
