Merry Christmas!

The crew (except Dad...aren't we so beautiful in the morning?

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year!! I was so afraid that I would receive an unexpected gift (aka baby) on Christmas so I tried to take it easy all day. I REALLY did not want him to be born on Christmas (what an awful b-day...sorry to those of you who are born on Christmas). Jess and I got to host Christmas this year because my family came down from Idaho! It was a lot of fun, but I quickly realized that my apartment, which I thought was pretty spacious, in fact is not! I felt bad :-( Oh well, I guess it's a fun memory. My dad, brother, and sister left to go home yesterday, but my mom stayed behind to wait for the baby to get here. We had a lot of fun being together, watching movies, and of course watching my sweet niece Payton open up her first Christmas gifts...I love that lil munchkin.

Baby Room So Far

Although not complete, we have done some things to the baby room! Don't worry, I had the room very ventilated while I painted :-)

Pregnancy Update.

This is me at 38 weeks (last week). I am 39 weeks today and still. no. baby :-( I have been dilated to a 2cm and 80% effaced for 3 weeks now! Now that finals and Christmas is over this baby is totally free to make his grand entrance :-) I go to the doctor again tomorrow, so we will see if I any more progressed! My mom is here to help for when the baby is born, so we are just waiting....any ideas (besides castor oil) that will get him here this week???

One day I had a baby shower...

...and it was so much fun!!! This post is about two weeks behind, but on Dec. 5th my sister Whitney threw me a baby shower. It was a lot of fun, and because of my most excellent family and friends, we were able to get a lot of things for the baby. Thank you ALL who came and celebrated with me! There are a TON of pictures mostly for those to see who could not attend :-) *The culprit behind all the photos is Kirsten Rehak...I didn't get any pictures of the sneak, but she was such a big help in making my shower so successful :-)

*Thanks to Haley for making my (Crew's) cute sign*

My mil LaReesa Baldwin made this cute quilt for Crew's bed.

Some cute gifts....

Apparently there were a lot of funny moments at the shower...

Me and my good friend Sami. We are due a week apart :-) Check out my belly at 36 weeks! It's huge!

So happy that my Aunt Karine and Cousin Becky could come :-)
