37 weeks!! Full term

So I figured since I'll have cute pictures of a baby SOON enough that maybe I should start writing on my blog again. Nobody cares about us, its all about the cute baby right?!?

Pregnancy Update-
So I am 37 weeks!! Officially full term. As much as I keep saying this boy loves his mommy so hes going to come a week or two early.... I don't think thats going to happen. I would sure love it if he did! But I'm mentally preparing myself for the full 40-41 weeks.... STILL that means a baby in THREE weeks!! AHH!! Honestly I feel so grateful that I was able to get pregnant so easily(too easy maybe) and that so far I have a healthy baby growing inside me. Sometimes its easy to take such things for granted. I find myself getting wrapped up in complaining of the pregnancy symptoms and everything but then when I take a step back I have to re evaluate my situation and think how grateful I am to have this experience and that I'm going to have a beautiful baby boy SO SOON!!! Pregnancy has gone pretty good, I've had a few bumps in the road but nothing to terribly bad. I do envy those women that love being pregnant, cause I must say I'm definitely not one of those! It really is crazy how much pregnancy takes on a woman and everything the woman goes through to get this baby here. I know it will all be worth it when he gets here! As its been getting closer to the due date I've been feeling probably every emotion in the spectrum of emotions. I get so anxious on how everything is going to go, when hes going to come, if I will know what to do with him when he gets here :), breastfeeding, I mean just about everything for a-z I worry about. But then my worry gets pushed to the side by all the EXCITEMENT. We have everything set up for the little guy and I have all his clothes organized, hung and everything is set up just so for when he gets here. After I got everything set up and done I looked around and just felt this overwhelming feeling of love. I already have so much love for him and I can only imagine how much happiness and joy he will bring into our lives. I can not wait!!!

I've had three showers! I got so many great things, he definitely is a spoiled little man!! My mom and sisters (alesa, lacey and katie) threw me a beautiful shower. It was a combined family shower with all Riches and my family. I also had some of my best friends come. It was a great turn out and they out a lot a hard work into to make it turn out perfect! My salon also threw me a shower, it was so fun and I got a lot of nice things from all the girls! Then last Friday all my best friends put together a girls night in honor of the new babe. We went to Sushi and had one of the private rooms at Mikados. It was SO fun. It was fun to be with all my best girl friends and then all came to my place after and we just chatted and hung out all night. Just what I needed a girls night before this little guy gets here! I love my friends and got lots of cute things!! I do feel really lucky and loved to have all this support. I know this little boy is going to have LOTS of love when he gets here.


My husband comes home on SUNDAY!!! FINALLY!!! So I can stop stressing if this baby is going to come with no husband home!! I am so excited to have him home again. It has been hard being away from each other and me being here alone, but honestly I am just extremely grateful for my husbands hard work. I know its not easy for him to be away and his job is very stressful but I am so grateful he works so hard for us. You just do what you have to do right?! Sometimes it may not be the most ideal situation, but when in life is anything the most ideal situation? Half of my excitement with the whole baby is to see Rich as a dad. He is going to be the most amazing dad and I am so excited to be able to raise a son together. And I hope this boy looks JUST like his daddy. The thought of a mini richard running around just puts a huge smile on my face!!

All in all thats a big update, but it has been a year and half since my last blog post haha. But I do want to try and blog mostly to put pictures of the baby on here and be able to write about him mostly for myself to look back and remember. Also Rich and I got some maternity pics taken they turned out really cute. I will post a few next post.

Vegas & Family



Are you jealous I have THE cutest niece and nephew?!

Picking a big booger for David Copperfield



We love sushi!



Rich's Birthday was on the 30th and we decided to get away and take a trip to Vegas! Rich turned 27.....I keep reminding him how he's becoming an old foggie!! We had so much fun in Vegas though. His family joined us for a bit of the trip and it was a blast. We spent a couple days at the pool- which it was 80 degrees! We also went and saw David Copperfield, the magician. It was awesome! We stopped in St George to visit my family and it was my niece Ali's birthday too so it was a great trip! Here are a few pics from the trip. I'm awful at taking pictures, so even the few I took I had to force myself to take them. I'm trying to get better at taking pics because Rich says our blog is boring:( haha

Here we are!

We gave in! Or should I say, I gave in. This is my first post as an official "blogger". Can I just say I am scared? What if I don't get any friends on this thing?! Haha. I'm excited, to hopefully keep in better touch with family and friends.
