Baby is the size of a jackfruit

Here we are...40 weeks.  Will I make it to 41?  I think this baby is planning on coming out sometime next year.

Burger King Day

September 9 is my dad's birthday.  This year, he would have turned 59.  Every year to celebrate, we eat at his favorite restaurant: Burger King.  Well, last year we went to 5 Guys, but I'm sure he would have loved that too.  This is one of my favorite family traditions.

Happy Burger King Day!

Family Fun

In honor of my final baby shower (and because they were throwing me a baby shower) Crystal, cute little Addison, and my mom came out to visit.  It was fun to spend time with everyone.

Aren't my nieces adorable?

He's a natural already.

Baby Showers!

I have had 4, yes 4, baby showers.  I know that's a lot, but it's been really fun! 

#1 was in Provo.  Laura and Jenni threw it for me, and it was fun to see some friends down there who I don't get to see very often.  I didn't think to take any photos, for some reason.

#2 was thrown by Lori, my mother-in-law.  That one was mostly Connor's side of the family/friends, but it was so fun, and so cute.  Someone did take some pictures, but I don't have them.

#3 was thrown for both Connor and me by my friend Ami and her family.  It was soooo cute.  Look at this little table that she put together.  Not to mention all the really yummy food.

That is the 1 picture that I took.  I can't believe I didn't take more.  And my mission president and his wife came.  Why didn't I take a photo?  I don't know.  I blame pregnancy brain.  There was also a little table to decorate onesies, which was such a fun thing to do.  We had a really great time, and got some really fun onesies.  I should take pictures and post them.  Maybe I will once I've got a baby to put in them.

#4 was this past Saturday.  Luckily Crystal was there, and she's wonderful about taking pictures.  The theme was 'Vroom Vroom, a baby is coming soon!'  It was so cute, and obviously fun.  Here are some photos:

My mom's friend made this blanket for the baby.  It's adorable.

The very cute table they put together.

The decorations on the ceiling above the table.

The diaper cake Crystal made.

I got one in Provo with size 1 diapers (thanks Amber!) and this one is size 2 so it's perfect!

All the showers we/I had were so fun.  We are so lucky to have so many people who love us and care about us and our baby who hasn't even been born yet.  There's really not much that we need to get.  Maybe more clothes.  I thought we needed a baby bathtub, but many people have told me that we don't so I think I'll hold off on that.  We have been very blessed.  Now we just need a baby to use all this fun stuff!

this past week

Here's what I did this past week:

Connor and I got pedicures for my birthday.  If I could get a pedicure daily, or even weekly, I would be very very happy.

Apparently Connor answered some of the questions on the form with answers like "Because my wife wanted me to." Haha

Pretty sunset.  Too bad our neighbors house was in the way.

Today I got a flu shot.  And my arm still aches.  How can one little needle cause so much discomfort?

Oh, and then there was this.  This is the parking lot when I got to the doctors office.  Too funny.  There was another minivan parked to the left of my car.
