expecting...

in addition to the below post...were expecting.....
a sweet little girl in possibly 24 hours or less.
stay tuned for more.

come on baby....

Hey friends...its meag here, blogging for lis. They just got moved into their new place in Logan, and don't have the internet as of now, so she asked me to do an update so that her next post wouldn't say...suprise the baby is here. Its still not here, Lis is due next friday.

Heres the latest...On Monday she went in for an ultra sound because she was measuring low....(well of course she was...look at that little belly) and the doc said he had never in his career seen anyone as little as her @ 38 weeks. He said the little gal looks healthy, but lis has a low level of amniotic fluid, so they were needin to watch that a bit. Yesterday, she had to go in for another appointment and her doc put her on bed rest for 24 hours, to see if they could get the fluid levels up a bit. so she just has been chillin in bed, on her left side, drinking a ridiculous amount of water. So, she goes in for another check-up today...if her fluid levels aren't up, they might start her....she's hoping not though.
Were all getting pretty excited that this little princess might be here any day. lis is seriously going to be such a good mom. we can't wait!

I'll keep you updated on what the doc says today, or when the sweet girl get to us.

just to let you know..

i just went to my very last college class EVER. boy that feels good.. its even better that the only final i have is open book, open note, and online. life is great!

pregnancy is going great and i've only got FIVE weeks left.. how cool is that!

we found a place to live in logan, i've got a great new doctor and we are moving out of provo next Friday...only bad thing is that we cant move into our new place til like january 5th... hope this little girl doesnt decide to come early and hope our parents are ready for a few intruders for the next few weeks.

my sister just got back from Mexico (i'm a little jealous) and i have been waiting all day to talk to her. she just called!! its harder than you would think to go a whole week with out talking to the one person ( besides your husband) that you talk to everyday.

i love this time of year... dont you?! theres so much to be thankful for even if life seems hectic, crazy and out of control sometimes... it could always be worse. Christmas is only 14 days away..hope your Christmas shopping is going better than mine.

well..thats just a little update..hopefully i can post soon with some pictures (i've been bad at that lately).

take care

on the move..

Yesterday we found out that Trae did not get into business school at BYU. We are both sad about this because that was by far our best option and the best school but we decided that if he didnt get in that we would move so that he could continue his education and still get done as quickly as possible... so we are moving to Logan... in about 3-4 weeks.

I've got bittersweet feelings about the whole move.

On one hand i am so sad to be leaving because we have great friends, a great ward, i love my job, i hate moving (especially when i will be eight months pregnant), and because now i will have to find a new doctor and hope that everything transfers with my insurance and all that fun stuff.

However, on the other hand, i am excited for a change..change is good, excited to live closer to home and especially closer to my sisters, excited for cheaper rent because Provo is a total rip off, and excited to make new friends.

Anyways... its a blessing to know that everything happens for a reason and we are going to make the best of this sudden change in our lives.. lets face it.. there will be lots of changes happening in the next little while.

If anyone knows of any nice places to live in Logan that wont break the bank please let us know.

Speaking of moving however... our little lady sure knows how to thrown and elbow jab and do some mad sombersalts.. especially when i lay down for bed at night.. how convienent. i just happened to notice that the countdown is under 60 days..can you believe it!

Well. hope everyone has a great day! BYE

Friends and Family Weekend!!!

Okay..so i know that i am a total blogging loser these days..but life has been pretty relaxed lately and i just dont have much to blog about. I'm still pregnant and growing quite the belly as of the past few weeks...(yes i am showing now)..but boy do i feel good...pregancy has been good to me thus far.. and only about two and a half months left!!!

Anyways.. i still work at the Gap and our Friends and Family weekend (now known as Give and Get) is coming up shortly..like November 13th, 14th and 15th or something like that. I have 50 coupons to give away so if you would like one either leave your email address and i will e-mail you a coupon or leave your address and i will send you one...(i have 25 email coupons and 25 hard copy coupons). These coupons work at any Gap store and online so dont be shy... if you need more than one for like a sister or mom or friend or something just let me know and hopefully i can get you a few...

Well then.. until next time, (which hopefully wont be another month away)..have a great day and a Happy Halloween tomorrow!!

like i said..

...i just love conference weekend. We started out by going to the BYU vs. Utah State football game friday in Logan. pretty dull game but we had a good time with my family. On saturday we all slept in and then watched conference. In between sessions my mom was being her martha stewart/betty crocker self by cooking up some zuchinni bread. She added a few of her own twists, which usually always work. I've dedicated a few posts to how amazing my mother is in the past. This one is to show you that she really is human and she too makes mistakes... (just not very often.) Here is her attempt to making Zuchinni bread...something went terribly wrong and her poor oven had definetly seen better days. this bread had been in the oven for about an hour and was still so runny and had blown up in her oven. Needless to say we all had a few good laughs at this one mom.
That night we had family pictures taken in Oakley, Id. They turned out so so good. We stopped at my grandmas on our way out to pictures and to watch the Saturday afternoon session of conference. This is one of the many snapshots of all my sisters. syd, rach, meag, kell and me... Sure do love these girls!!
and who could forget my dad. I just love this guy. he keeps us laughing ALL the time. Don't let this picture fool you..he is one of the happiest people i know....he just likes to put on a front to show his tough side. I dont know how i got so lucky to have such great parents. Love you dad.
Our photographer found out that i was pregnant and kept wanting to take pictures displaying my belly. The thing is that i still dont really look pregnant..i just look like i've gained 10 pounds. Anyways, she made trae wrap his arms around me and make a heart on my stomach for a few pictures so we had fun making fun of this silly pose. (just imagine that my triangle looks like a heart)

anyways..it was a FANTASTIC weekend!!

wow!

I sure do love conference weekend. Wasn't it just amazing!!! There were so many things that i needed to hear at this time in my life. I'm deteremined to be just a little bit better and try a little harder. I loved being able to go home and spend the entire weekend with my family... (pictures to come soon). Aren't families just the greatest things in the world. I sure am lucky! hope your conference weekend was as splendid as mine and that you were uplifted by all those great talks. WOW!
