I think I can I think I can

I have to remind myself that I can handle 2 more weeks as I attempt to roll out of bed while groaning and ask Ryan to give me a friendly push. Who knew pregnancy had so many ''chores.'' I sure didn't! Just getting pants on I am ready for a break. I have now worn the same sandals EVERY DAY for about 4 months and as of yesterday they are now no longer fitting. Welcome back elephantiasis it's so good to see you again, thanks for the adding to the sexy appeal of my legs which by the way I have totally given up on shaving. That's right, I'm a hairy whale, who knew.
As of next I am finally giving in and going part time in to work. Too many hormones!! Either my back and feet ache, or I'm completely annoyed by clients that are grumpy, stare downs from the Seniors for lack of my wedding ring due to sausage fingers, awkwardly standing cutting hair so the belly doesn't keep kitting the clients arms, and don't get me started on trying to lean over and wash my clients hair.

But on the upside! Many wonderful clients asking questions about my pregnancy, giving me a smile and say here's a little extra something as they tip me. Receiving a free baby swing from a complete stranger! Thank you to the sweet old orange dyed hair lady who when I told her my due date told me that I look small for how far a long I am. Lady, I could have jumped in your arms and kissed your cheeks for making me feel so happy!

Come Monday with my Moms help we will begin Mary's nursery room. Now the fun part of moving begins! So excited to decorate it, clean her clothes, find places to put teeny tiny little shoes and tights. Oh my goodness baby clothes are so stinking cute I am so excited to be having a girl. I will have way too much fun dressing her up.

It's strange how I haven't even met her yet but I love her so so much! She is so worth the heart burn, stretch marks, aches and pains, lack of sleep. (which btw totally thought that didn't start till AFTER the baby begins...yeah I know,  you mothers have a smirk on your face right now and are saying 'oh just you wait')

So here's to hoping for a quick 2 weeks and looking forward to seeing my sweet lil munchkin :D

miss me?

It has been a crazy couple of weeks! We have officially moved out of our old apartment and moved to a basement apartment in Millcreek. Yay, no more apartment complexes!! This is only one trip of moving some of our things, Ryan and I felt like we should be on the show hoarders, it was a nightmare. I don't know what I would have done with out my mom coming and helping me organize. I'm so sick of moving I could have cried looking at everything sitting there. Thankfully we are just about done finding new homes for everything and than on to the fun part Monday... MJ's room! After her room is done she is more than welcome to show up early! ;) Nov 15th is just around the corner!

My birthday was the 24th, it was a pretty relaxing day! I went to work for a few hours,

went and got my hair done (bitter sweet thing about pregnancy and pre natals is that

my hair grows crazy fast! I know i'll need it done again as soon as Mary comes or 

if I have time just before her arrival.

Ryan surprised with me roses and took me to dinner to Archibalds. yum!

It was fun walking around, I've never gone during Halloween! heck I haven't even 

back since we got married and had our reception there!

After a week of basically having no life other than work, moving and cleaning;

Ryan planned a fun night of carving pumpkins with the Putnam's

Here is our pumpkin Ryan carved! We still have no table so

we used the shower curtain that was left here when we moved in.

isn't it pretty? ;)

And here is Drew's pumpkin...After carving it and not being a fan

he and Ryan took a couple of turns punching the poor thing.

seriously?? oh boys....

Friends baby shower

These lovely ladies gave me such a beautiful baby shower.
It was so much fun to see friends, eat delicious food (seriously amazing,
we ate soup, home made bread sticks, lots and lots of treats) We were definitely
well fed and everyone had so much fun.
Thank you Megan, Kylie and Emily!!

Could it be my favorite cupcakes?

nope! but there ARE adorable clothes folded into looking like cupcakes! too cute

Ryan's favorite outfit of course 

LOVE these ladies! Thank you so much for coming
and bring such wonderful gifts for Mary :D

maternity pics

I was asked the other week by a sweet girl in my ward if she could take some maternity pictures and of course my answer was YES! :) I wasn't too sure if I truly wanted to do it since I feel massive but knew I would kick myself in the butt later on for being so vain if I didn't. She did a great job and had some fun ideas as you can see

So mom, sisters since some of you don't have facebook to see them here you go!
Don't mind the quadruple chin just look at the overall artistic side of the pictures.. ;)
