31 weeks

I am definitely on the countdown at this point. I am getting bigger by the day and sleeping is becoming more difficult. Not only can I not get comfortable, but sometimes I wake up with aches and pains. I have my 32 week visit on Monday. I am wondering if they can give me a weight estimate for the baby by then. It would be interesting to know how much bigger I am going to get. OH... I know I will get much bigger... I just wonder how much the baby could weigh. Michael was almost 11 pounds at birth (mostly length) and I was about 7 pounds, so the difference was quite a lot. It will be interesting to see how our children are. I can't wait to meet her.

Another Football Game Picture

I actually ended up leaving the game without taking a picture, so we took one afterward. It was the first cold game. We had to bundle up. Michael said I look like a linebacker with all my layers. We are ready for the next home game this Saturday.

Fourth home game.

Slacker

I didn't really take a good picture for my 6th month. The picture from my last post is the best I've got. I am going to have to count that for the monthly picture because I am so close to month seven. Part of me finds it hard to believe I am already 30 weeks along... but mostly I feel like this pregnancy has lasted forever. We are getting so excited.

This week's game

I have a goal to take a picture at every home game. So, I thought that I would share them each week. This week we decided to stand up so my pregnant belly would show.

Third home game. Another shut-out.

BYU and beyond

It is past due for an update from us. We are finally starting to feel settled from the move. Michael has been busy with internship applications for next summer. He applied to all of the Big Four accounting firms. Our first city choice is Washington D.C. and the second is Sacramento, CA. He has first round interviews the next two weeks... then we will see what happens. The firm he ends up accepting an internship to is most likely where we will end up after graduation. So, this has been a big choice for us. We are excited to see what happens. We will know about the internship by Thanksgiving.

I have finally reached a point of boredom. After resting all summer, I feel much better and want something to do. I decided to start working for Provo City Schools as a substitute teacher. This way I can earn a little extra money and have something to do some days during the week. I liked this option because I have the choice of how much I want to work.

Even though we are looking forward to leave Provo after graduation we are trying to enjoy the last two years of school as much as we can. We got all sports passes and have attended two football games already. It has been hot at the beginning of the season, but we can't complain too much when we are winning!

Here we are at the first home game. We look a little tired because we moved the same day.

Here we are at the second home game. We had a great time watching the 59-0 win.

Daddy's Little Girl

The other day I came home with this cute little outfit. I put it on Michael's pillow and waited to see his reaction. It is the only thing I have bought for our baby. I am trying to melt Michael's heart. Do you think it is working?

22 weeks

I am now five months along. Sometimes I still can't believe I am pregnant. I look in the mirror and think, "Who is that girl with that growing belly".

Michael and I are so excited to be parents. We look forward to the challenges ahead. Most of all we can't wait to meet our little girl.
