36 Weeks = 9 months

So on Monday Davey and I went to my weekly doctors appointment. ( They are not so much fun when  they check you to see if you have dilated)  Lets just say I was laughing the whole time because my poor husband can't handle somethings very well. Little does he know, labor will be worst. But in the end he did amazing!
Update: I am dilated to a 1 and 50% efface at 36 weeks. So thats a good start. But the princess can't come until after March 17 because my BEST FRIEND is getting married and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

I absolutely love this time of year for so many reason. 

We get to put up the Christmas tree

Watch hallmark christmas movies on TV while snuggling with the person you love and drinking hot coco.   

I get to go shopping and wrap present

We get to celebrate our Saviors Birth and mine too :)

We get to bake yummy treats and share them with others

Spend time with people you love

And listen to Christmas music!

I decided I wanted to be more crafty. There is a place in Salt Lake called Wood Connection
 (its my new favorite store)  I made the wood presents, I am still learning but its a fun new hobby. 

24 Weeks

I feel like my belly has pop! I am starting to show a lot more. It has been so fun feeling her move and kick. She loves to kick at night when I am laying in bed, but if I put my hand on my belly she stops. Davey loves to talk to her and she loves hearing his voice.  We are so excited to have her in our life. Only 113 more days till she arrives.
