He can go ahead and come out now....
So up until this morning I was still not quite ready for our little guy to be born yet. I had a few more things to check off my list before I would feel "ready" (if you are ever really ready!).
Well, this morning I woke up and my hips hurt so bad, I have had heart burn/indigestion/acid reflux all night (and day), my feet are so swollen that I barely fit in to my church shoes, and I can hardly breathe. I decided that he can go ahead and be born now :) I am over this whole being pregnant thing.
Here is the latest prego picture (37 weeks along):

It is comforting to know that the doctor has officially scheduled my inducement, so the latest I would be having him is Tuesday, September 7th !! That's only a week and 2 days away! Its nice to know that the end is in sight. I'm not super thrilled that we have to be there at 6:30am, but oh well, we're going to sleep deprived for the next 6 months anyway!

Nesting
I am definitely in the nesting stage of my pregnancy. I have pulled all of the essentials out of storage (swing, baby bottles, high chair, baby tub, etc). While Keith and Malea were in Oregon for a couple of days, I finished unpacking the last of the boxes, and did the fun part....getting the baby's room all ready. I am excited to announce that it is officially ready!!
Here are some pics :)
Here are some pics :)
Here is a pic of me at about 35 1/2 weeks....I feel humongous! I swear he is bigger at this point than Malea was....case in point, see the next picture down.

Another Malea Update
Here's another update on Malea! She is just becoming such a big girl!
-She is talking so much, I am just amazed at how much she has progressed! She speaks in full on sentences.
-We have to pick flowers everyday. She absolutely loves flowers. We are trying to teach her the difference between the kind of flowers you can pick (i.e., wildflowers/weed flowers) and the ones you just look at (i.e., flowers in someone's yard). It is hard for her to differentiate sometimes. We tell her that at night time we don't pick flowers because the flowers go to sleep, so she is always saying how "the flowers are asleep" at night time.
-She calls all soda pop "fright" (meaning "Sprite"), it doesn't matter what kind of soda it is
-The other day she accidentally let go of her balloon and it went flying up in to the sky. Well a couple of days later we were talking about how she gets to go in an airplane soon (for a family reunion), and she says, "I get my balloon back?"
-Any time she is next to a fence or something, she will go up to it and say "I'm stuck in a cage!" We have no idea where she came up with it, she just started doing it one day (and no, we don't lock her in a cage when no one else is around lol)
-"Shrink" means "drink", which sounds really funny when she says "I need a 'shrink'!" lol
-If she gets hurt or upset, she will talk about it later and say "I cried very, very sad"
-She is getting more comfortable with the idea of potty training. We are not quite there yet, but getting there. She has peed in the potty once and pooped twice, but it is inconsistent. Honestly, I am not really ready to potty train her, being 8 months pregnant and so exhausted. But she is so independent that I can't force her anyway.

-We were driving in the car and Malea was picking her nose....we said "Malea, don't pick your nose" and she says "NO! I need to get somethin'!"
-We were driving and a guy cut me off, and Malea said, "Mommy, he a jerk" and I said "Oh sweetie, we don't say that word" and she said "Well daddy say it"....lol! He was so busted on that one!
-When we pulled out the infant car seat in preparation for the baby, she said to me "Mommy, last time when I was a baby I sit in the car seat." So cute!
We love you Malea!!!

Busy Busy Busy!
Well, things have been pretty crazy for us, but in a good way. We moved this past weekend to a different place than originally planned, but it is for the better. It is actually bigger, less expensive than the original place, and in a better location (we get to stay in our ward...yay!). So that was kind of a crazy change of plans. We are so excited for the extra square footage, not to mention a dishwasher! Oh how I have missed having a dishwasher.
My house as I was packing....uggh, I was getting claustrophobic!
Baby #2 is doing well. He is right on track at every appointment in his heartbeat and measurements. I am 32 weeks along....where has the time gone? Holy cow, I just can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! I am getting a little panicky because I still have so much to do before I will feel ready for him to come. I don't know if I will ever be ready honestly! lol I think once we are settled in to our new place I will feel better.
Well that's about it for us! Now I need to get off my behind and do some un-packing....

4th of July Goodness
We had a great holiday weekend! I absolutely love the 4th of July and all it entails. We had a family BBQ and then went to a neighbor/friends' annual "Driveway of Fire"....Malea loved it! This is the first year we have really let her stay up to watch the fireworks and she did great! And of course its not the 4th of July without going to the Provo Freedom Festival Grand Parade! We got a sweet spot this year thanks to Keith!

(Malea sporting her fake smile...I tell her to smile for the camera and this is what she does lol)
I wish you could see her face better in this picture...this was when a big dalmation dog balloon was going by, she was so excited!

Tumbling Tots Graduate
Today was Malea's last day of Tumbling Tots. They had a little "awards" ceremony where all the kids got a medal and a certificate, and got to stand up on a little pedestal. It was so cute! She had a great time in the class and learned a lot.
