Catch Up Post

Here is a catch up on what we have been up to...

We went to our last BYU Basketball game. It's pretty crazy to me that we are growing up and leaving Provo. BYU is turning into our past.

We went bowling quite awhile ago with some friends. I am terrible at bowling! I have streaks were I will do a couple of good runs, but it never last long. Kev is awesome at bowling. He loves it. He took a bowling class at BYU. He is just usually really good. Well the last time we went I destroyed him and I have to document it! I guess pregnancy helps my bowling skills haha

Kev signed up for a BYU intramural tennis tournament. I love watching him play but I also absolutely hate it. I get so nervous for him and I hate just sitting there not being able to help out at all. I don't know how I will ever be able to watch my kids play sports. But Kev did awesome and won!

Another exciting event that happened last week, is Kevin is officially graduated! He is so happy! haha He absolutely hates school. I'm not sure it has really hit him yet, that he is really done. I'm sure it will hit him in September when he is working full time. I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard. I am so grateful for his hard work and his willingness and desire to support our family. He is such a good example to me and makes me strive to be a better person. I love him so much and can't imagine my life without him!

Today we were able to attend the Payson Temple Open House. Oh my goodness, it is gorgeous! I loved being able to walk throughout it. I am so grateful for temples, for the blessings they bring into my life. I so grateful I was able to marry Kevin in the temple for time and all eternity. I am grateful for the opportunity to have an eternal family!

Today we also went to The Puppy Barn. They have a bunch of puppies that you get to hold. It's probably not the best place for us to go, since we already want a dog so bad, but we loved it.

Yesterday we were driving home from my Aunt's house in Lake Shore. The mountains looked amazing. I wish the pictures did it justice. This world is a beautiful place.

I just need to take a minute and document just how grateful I am. The Lord has truly blessed our life. He has lead and directed us, and looking back I can definitely see his hand in our lives. Last Friday was my last full day working at Larson. When I was first applying for internships two years ago, I wasn't really sure what I wanted. I had interviewed with KPMG and it had gone awesome. Then my interview with Larson had not gone so great, I thought. But Larson called me and offered me the internship. I had to decide and get back to them before I could finish the interview process with KPMG. I felt like I was being rushed into a decision I didn't have enough information to make. But I thought Larson would be good and I felt somewhat good about it. It was such a good decision and I am so grateful the Lord helped me make it. They have been so willing to work with me. The let me work part time from home while I was going to school. They let me go to Seattle and come back to my job. They have even offered to let me work part time from home once I feel up to it in a couple months. I know the Lord lead and directed me in making that decision. Even small things, I can see the Lord's hand in our lives. We get kicked out of our apartment the end of this month since we can't have kids in it. We were blessed to find a couple leasing out their apartment just for the summer, which is just what we needed. I also know he lead us to Kevin's internship in Seattle and helped us in the decision to accept the full time offer in September. I am so excited to see what is in store for us! I know the Lord is very aware of us and our needs. I know he knows what is best for us, for me and for Kevin. He is there, watching over us and helping us step by step. I am so grateful for this gospel, for the knowledge it brings into my life. I'm thankful for the knowledge that I have a loving Heavenly Father who is very aware of me, who loves me and who listens to me. I am so blessed and so grateful!

Baby

I wish I was better at blogging, then I wouldn't have to try to remember everything from the last couple of months. But here is a summary of how I have looked ....

 Almost 32 weeks

My family stopped by on their way to Mexico. They are kind of obsessed with the bump haha. I was almost 32 weeks here.

 34 weeks

36 weeks

The doctor's had me worried a couple times. About a month ago they told me I was measuring too small. So I had to do a non-stress test (I have no idea why they call it that, it stressed me out). But they watched the baby's heart beat associated with his movements. They also did an ultrasound to make sure the fluid was OK. Everything looked fine. Then last week, on the 23rd I had to go have another ultrasound because I was still measuring way to small. It made me super nervous, because I had all the worse things running through my head. But it was neat to be able to see the baby again, since we haven't seen him since I was at 20 weeks. He was 6 lbs 13 oz...so he is not that small at all haha. They looked at the liquid and the liquid was normal. They like it between 7 and 30 and I was at a 9. So I was at a low normal. All that stress for nothing. I'm just good at hiding it.

I truly have been really lucky throughout my pregnancy though and I am very grateful. I was hardly sick at all. As long as I had food in my stomach I was good. I haven't been sensitive to smells or food. I haven't had any cravings. I haven't had any crazy dreams. I have had a couple of weird nightmarish dreams...in my dream I go a whole day forgetting that I have a baby. I forget to feed him, change his diaper. It's a terrible dream and I feel so bad about it. But that's as crazy as my dreams have gotten. The only thing I have really struggled with is energy. I have been exhausted! The entire pregnancy! I did have a weird thing happen the last week of February. I was on a work trip to Las Vegas. Wednesday night I looked at my feet and realized one leg was huge! It was so swollen! That gave me some fears, but it ended up being ok. I had to get compression socks for my next trip just to be on the safe side. But that is about everything going on with my pregnancy.

Just for remembrance sake, this was our first outfit we bought for the baby. Kev loved it haha

Baby Shower

The end of February my family threw a baby show for me and my cousin Katie (she is 2 weeks ahead of me). The decorations and theme were so cute!. I really appreciate them doing that for us. It was a lot of fun and a couple of my friends were able to come so it was good to see them.

 I was about 30 weeks, not a huge bump to show off...which I am ok with :)
