baby update

I am currently dilated 2 cm and am effaced at 80%. When I left my doctor's appointment yesterday he said, " See you next week unless we meet in the hospital before that"

3 Wonderful Years

3 years ago today I married the man of my dreams!

Like every marriage we have had our ups and downs, but we have made it through because of love. I can't imagine me spending my life with anyone else than Josh! He just "gets" me like no one else can. He doesn't mind that I'm goofy and awkward (probably because it suits his personality too)
:) I just love this man so much!

32 weeks

I am currently 32 weeks along.....crazy how the time flew by!

I have to say..........I am starting to feel nervous about Aidan arriving. I want him here so bad and yet I feel like I am FAR from ready for the big day to come!

I am grateful for all those that have been and will support me through this though. :)

We finally finished our nursery! Here are the pics!

I am glad to be done with it! Very much thanks to my wonderful husband for doing all the work!

wedding

My younger brother Jon got married on Saturday. He is married now to Lucie. Lucie is from the Czech Republic and doesn't speak English yet. It will be interesting as she learns more English, but kind of fun to see happen. This is a picture of them coming out of the temple.

My friend Katie kept telling me I should buy a new dress for the reception. I was very hesitant because I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend a lot of money for a dress that may not fit me for very long. The morning of the wedding though we had to go shopping for a present. (It was a very busy last part of the month for my husband so this is the only time we had to get a present) So I made Josh take me to Target and I just decided that I would try and buy a nice white blouse to go with one of my black skirts. I found this really cute dress though and I'm happy that I bought it.....I liked how I looked in it!

HOLY COW!

Why did they have to change the way we change our background? They say it's much easier to use, but it just screwed everything up and I had to take more than an hour trying to get it back to normal......thanks blogger. I hate you!
(needed to vent...so frustrating)

What A Weekend!!

This has been an insane weekend to say the least. Not that it was bad, it was just filled with a LOT of stuff. First of all, Friday night we had a "sleepover" up in Midway where Josh's parents are staying during their trip back to Utah from England. We BBQ'ed Italian sausages and ate breadsticks and soup along with them. Then Saturday, after breakfast and hanging around til lunch, we went to eat at Ruby Tuesdays in Park City. Then we went shopping at Tanger's outlet stores.
Sunday- Josh, Matt (brother-in-law) and Linda (mother-in-law)played a music number for Grandma Woolfenden's ward. Then we went to Grandma's and had a mini baby shower for me since this is the only time for Linda to have been here for it. I posted most pictures on Facebook of the gifts but this is a bassinet we are borrowing from Josh's cousin Emily.

We also had a Hawaiian Luau for Linda's birthday with the whole family.

Monday (for Linda's actual birth date) we first went to the zoo. I love the zoo and the animals, but wish they had more big cats. :( They no longer have any jaguars and those were my favorite as a kid.

Then we had a small lunch at Wendy's. Then headed over to the Gateway for more time with Josh's family. (got to make the most of seeing them while we can) We spent, I believe, 7 hours there! LOL We just browsed the shops and bought some things. Josh FINALLY got me a Build-A-Bear (the last time I wanted to get one we were in California, but then I figured it would cost more there) I decided to get a Build-A-Bear Monkey for our little one when he arrives. Here's a picture. We named him AJAY for Aidan Joshua. I love his little outfit. Aidan can play with him as an infant without the clothing (monkey is really soft) and then we can put the outfit back on when he's too old to play for it and just display monkey in Aidan's room.

Wow, full weekend with lots of eating (holy cow!) but most importantly spending time with Josh's side of the family. Linda won't be able to come back for the birth of Aidan (really, how can she judge when to come back from England and if she did--would Aidan really want to come at the time she is here...it's sad, but that's how it's going to have to be)

We will SKYPE a lot though so they can see Aidan on the computer until they can come back and hold him in their arms!
