The count down is on!!

Well first of all I just have to say that it is SOOO nice having Brandon done with his Boards. He took it June 18 and it is so nice to have him home! Although we do not do much it is still really nice to actually have him around all the time! :-) Well anyways... so today I hit 36 weeks! I am on the final stretch of this pregnancy and I am so glad! I cannot wait to be done being pregnant! It is going to be so nice to have this little guy out of me finally!! So today I had my doctors appointment and the nurse practitioner said that the babies head is really low in my pelvis and he sounded healthy on the Doppler so that is good! :-) I thought he had to be really low because I feel a lot of pressure down there so I figured he had to be. So hopefully that just means that he is getting really ready to come out! They will check me next week to see if I am dilating yet and I will be getting another ultrasound so that they can check and see if the fluid levels are good and make sure he is head down and see how big he is! So that will be exciting! Hopefully everything looks good and hopefully I have started dilating, that would be really awesome! Also I tested positive for GBS so I will have to go into the hospital sooner than I thought when I am in labor! Oh well, I really do not care I just want this little guy out of me! haha I think I came to a conclusion on why it takes 9 months for a baby to be born. Its so that the moms feel like they are totally ready to have a baby even if it means sleepless nights and frustrating times. I do not think that we would feel that way if it did not take so long, but, that is just my opinion! haha So now the count down is on. We have pretty much everything ready for this little guy to come and now we must wait and see when he decides he is ready to come! Lets just hope he wants to come out a little sooner than my due date. That would be really nice! haha So that is it for tonight I will update more later!

Shower Time!!

So in the past week and a half I have had the fun opportunity to attend 2 baby showers for our little boy. We had one here in Arizona and one in California. Thanks to Shauna for throwing such a great and fun shower here in Arizona and for kallee letting it be hosted at her house! :-) It was so much fun to get together with friends and this little boy of mine got the cutest things ever. :-) He is one lucky little boy. :-) It was so much fun and I am so blessed to have such great friends in my life. Oh I also have to give a shout out to my friend Whitney who helped throw the shower but was not able to make it. Anyways so we had this shower on June 2nd and my mom was able to be there for it which was really nice. Then the next day my mom and I drove down to good ol' California! Brandon has his boards he is studying for so he could not come which was sad. So anyways we got to my parents house Thursday evening and my little sister and my sister in-law flew in the night as well. It was so much fun to see my family and to hangout with them for the time I was down there. So then on Saturday we had the shower in California. It was a lot of fun too and I have to say with our little boy was hooked up by all of our family and friends. We really do not have much left to get, which is really nice. It was good to see a lot of the people that I grew up with, well their parents since all of my friends are away at school! haha I would put pictures up but my mom has all of them so I do not have any pictures from my showers sadly. Hopefully I can put some up soon. It was a lot of fun to be in California, except it was weird to be away from Brandon for almost a week. We have never been apart for that long in almost 2 years so that was hard. Luckily he got to come down that Tuesday night and we were able to hangout on Wednesday together and then drive home on Thursday. While he was down we went to this place called Scandia. It is a little amusement park kind of place. It has mini golf and some rides and an arcade. I had 2 VIP passes to there that I had gotten from my 16th birthday from my friend whose dad owns the place. They did not have expiration dates on them so we were able to use them which was hillarious. So we took my little brother with us and went and played in the arcade for an hour or so because the tickets got us 30 dollars worth of tokens for the arcade. It was fun to just goof off and try and win as many tickets as we could. We ended up getting a lot of candy out of it haha so it was fun! Anyways, now there is only a week left until Brandon takes his boards so I think I can make it. It was nice to be around people all day everyday when I was in California so I think I can manage to be alone for one more week. I can now get stuff organized in the babies room and get all ready for this little guy to come. So at least I have some things to keep me occupied. :-) 7 more weeks!

Oh and my sister took maternity pictures of me while I was down in California so I will post some pictures soon! :-)
