Not yet

That's right the ticker to the side says today is the day! Little girl has not made an appearance, but I am having plenty of contractions. I go in on Tuesday to be induced if she doesn't work her magic by then. I have actually been feeling a lot better the last couple of days, compared to the misery I have been experiencing. In the mean time my mother in law and sister in law joined us and have been wonderful company the last few days. I am so excited to have them here for Christmas, yes I feel a little guilty taking them away from the rest of the family, but not bad enough to tell them to stay home! :)

Well wish me luck in the next few days and let me know if you have any suggestions to help me move into labor a little faster!

Maternity Photos

I decided to get some maternity photos this time around and well I pretty much got the whole family involved. Let me just say I was never really into the maternity photo thing before. You fill so ugly and huge pregnant, but this was SUCH a good experience. If you are in the Ohio area you need to go to Amy Suzanne photography. She was awesome, she made me feel so special and beautiful! Amy was also SO patience with my little guy who was not so cooperative in the cold. Another plus she gives a discount to students. Check out her blog and our pictures!

Ortho Residency

Well if you haven't heard yet, this family is headed to Ft. Lauderdale Florida in 6 months. I have to admit I am so excited to be living in a vacation spot for a few years, but also a little nervous. First thought.... "sweet I get to kick it with gators all the time!" second thought.... " would if a gator tries to eat my kid!" I know I am weird. Daniel really loved the people in the program and we got a chance to visit a ward down there, very nice people. Dan will be one of only two boys in his program! But we are so grateful to our Heavenly Father to give our family the opportunity to fulfill Daniel's career goals. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for us and everything he does is for a reason, even though we may never know why. I will soon be starting my own career goal of beach bum with two kids, wish me luck!

P.S. Palm trees love visitors!

Looks like we are on the move....

We found out today that Daniel got accepted into Orthodontic school! Yippee for Dan, I am so proud of him. He always works so hard at his goals. So now we know where we are moving to, which state anyway. But you have to call one of us to find out. I will give you one clue, we ARE moving.

Updates

Well pretty much there is no update. Even at 36 weeks and being SO miserable and uncomfortable, Doc said nothings happening. So more baking in the oven, even though the oven feels over cooked! I complain but I am glad this baby is healthy and growing well.

In other news, Dan submitted his match list last week and........... more waiting. Next week a computer system will tell us where we are going to live for the next 2-3 years! Help me get my mind off the waiting game!! Wish us luck!

Not totally lost mind

I just wanted everyone to know that my heart sunk this last week with all this absentmindedness when I realized I may have also thrown out MY own blessing dress my mom sent me a few weeks back. I was so scarred I told no one in my family, as I didn't want it to get back to mom. Sick I tell you! Just kept thinking what is wrong with me. I used to remember every step I took and now BLANK, everything BLANK! Well after admitting my faults to my mother in law, she suggested some places for me to look. Yes, yes mom I already looked there. Than a new one...... the recently boxed up Halloween decorations. Heaven is shinning down on me today!! There was that super tiny pink dress wrapped around my light up pumpkin! Lets just say I am not afraid to call mom tonight! :) But can I make it these last four weeks? I think I might place hidden cameras around my house to keep track of myself. I hope it doesn't get worse with two kids!

Pregnancy brain

Well for anyone who has grown a little one inside of them I am sure they would understand what is going on with me. I have totally lost my mind, all sense of reality really. I have done so many silly things, I can't believe my name is still Holly and not "Air Head." But one of my most recent pregnancy brain mishaps has me miss placing my camera. Which after tearing apart my house and going step by step of my every last move with the camera in hand, I have come to the conclusion that I placed the camera in the garbage can and quickly insisted that Dan take out the trash. So no camera for awhile. We need to replace it with a little girl on the way, but for now no pictures! Unless my dear sweet friends and family want to email me pictures of my awesome Halloween and trip to Utah!

Actually a lot has been happening the last few weeks with no pictures to share. I will let you see this little tid bit. Dan has been doing interviews for resident positions and has invited (begged) me to go along whenever he was close enough to drive, but when he got invited to Ft. Lauderdale, FL I invited myself (along with my son) to go. What Heaven. The beach and I are ONE!! Here is a couple of the last photos downloaded before the camera jumped out of my hands into the garbage.





Pregnancy Brain again, We went to the beach and I DIDN'T pack Hayden's swim suit!!
Hayden made me smile the whole time. He loved the water, he almost drown so many times because he would want to go further out, and totally not afraid of the surf or the fish in the water!
I have such an obsession with gators, I am just fascinated by them, my first time holding a real live baby gator!
My first time kissing a real live giant frog, that DID NOT turn into a Handsome prince afterward. Daniel was pretty relieved.
The water boat tour to go see some more real gators in the wild.
At first kiddo was a little weirded out by the sand but ten minutes later he was throwing his snacks in the sand before he would put them in his mouth and filling up his cup with sand and trying to drink it. What can I say, he is a boy!
