The Last Few Weeks

As this is probably our last night as just the two of us, I wanted to make sure I had this thing completely updated! Here's a recap of the last few weeks.

We finally tried LoLo's! It did not disappoint!

Somebody "attacked" our door for my birthday (very nice of somebody...)

Tyler made me a cake for my birthday!

 Enjoyed the nice, cool weather the weekend of my birthday, with a walk at the Riparian. 

Went to the temple one last time before baby

Kabobs for dinner, pool side

Tyler & I helped chaperone at the sixth grade dance. It was entertaining, to say the least! There were about 3 to 4 times as many girls as boys ;)

Church selfie

Our ultrasound at 38 weeks...such a squishy face! 

@ Joe's baptism (before picture)! It was such a great night, and Tyler did a great job speaking :)

Our baby's foot, from 40 weeks!

On my last day of teaching! There were a lot of emotions going on... My kids were, surprisingly, very sad that I was leaving, which made it even harder to go.

In-n-Out for dinner...I have to post because Tyler suggested it, and he NEVER suggests In-n-Out! 

 We played tennis at 40 weeks and a day, and then again at 40 weeks and 3 days... tried to induce labor, but it didn't work (ha!)... It felt really nice to get out and move around though. I haven't been able to wear any kind of shoe in a LONG time, so putting on tennis shoes felt like heaven!

As you can tell, my legs are pretty swollen (they have gotten better in the last couple of days though)!

And, now we wait for baby to come! We had our last date night, just the two of us, and then did a little bit of shopping afterwards. Hard to believe that we'll be a family of 3 by the end of the week...

Being induced tomorrow! :)

AZ Baby Shower

Courtney, kindly threw me an amazing shower here in AZ, and I felt so spoiled by the end of it. Everybody that I really care about, here in Mesa, was at the shower, and brought so many wonderful gifts for our baby girl. My mom also came into town for it, and we were able to get some things done in the baby's room (mostly sewing). She also bought me my first sewing machine, as an early birthday present. It's hard to believe that in 3-4 weeks, we will have a baby in our home, to take care of :).

Getting pedicures!

 Some of the pillows my mom and I made :)

Maternity Photos

I was up in the air about taking maternity photos, and wasn't all that thrilled with the idea, but the closer we got to the end of this pregnancy, I started to think it might be a good idea, and I am SO glad that we made the decision to have the photos. We had Ashley (from our ward) take the pictures, and I am so happy with how they turned out. 

Here are a few of my favorites :)

Easter Pageant

Each year, the Mesa temple puts on an Easter Pageant. Last year was the first time I had gone (with the young women), and Tyler had never been, so we thought we definitely had to take advantage, seeing as this would be the last year without a babe. Anyway, we got invited by Brad & Court, who were invited by the sister missionaries and our friend Joe, who's been coming to church the last few months. The missionaries and Joe were able to get close seats, but we were a little further back (still good though :). The pageant really was amazing, and it's neat to see how many people are involved. 

Afterwards, we were able to talk to some of the people who were in the pageant, and they were telling us that the costumes were created to look just like clothes during the time of Christ's birth/Resurrection. They even had a historian come out and help with the costumes. Anyway, if you didn't get a chance to go this year, make it happen next year!
