The end is in sight!

4 more weeks until d-day!  Tomorrow I go in to the doctor and I’m hoping he’ll give me some good news like “I can guarantee this baby won’t come later than 39 weeks!”  I’m not counting on that at all but I can dream.  When I was pregnant with Carly my doctor told me at 36 weeks that she thought I would have Carly in the next 2 weeks because I was already dilated etc… I ended up having Carly a day late, and I was mad at my doctor!  This little baby girl will come whenever she wants and I’m fine with that!  I know how much I need to enjoy sleeping right now so I am enjoying it.  We are so excited to meet this new baby girl! 

We love Grandma

Carly gets so spoiled living with Grandma.  Grandma is always reading to her and playing the piano with her.  Carly even gets cuddles in bed with grandma and grandpa sometimes.  When I was little my mom would play me these exact songs and I would sit on her lap and sing with her.  I love hearing Carly sing a long with grandma it really brings tears to my eyes.

Our Fourth of July

I love the Fourth of July in Provo.  There are so many fun celebrations going on.  On the Saturday before the 4th we went to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks by the Marriott Center. We used to always go the Stadium of Fire growing up but now that we all have kids we’ve opted out and gone for the alternative.  On the 4th we woke up early and went to the Provo parade which is the best around.  It was nice having my parents save us an awesome spot so we just had to show up and there was a place waiting for us!  After the parade we got together with my family for a picnic in the canyon, then we went home and took naps then we all got back together for more fireworks at my aunt and uncle’s house.

I debated whether I should put this picture up of me because I hate all pictures of my 9-month pregnant body but I figured I’d put it up for posterity’s sake.  Here’s part of our parade group before my sisters and their families got there.  Carly loves her great-aunt Ann, and wouldn’t leave her side. 

I couldn’t get a picture of Carly’s face during the parade because she was too mesmerized!

Carly adores her cousins.  She is always asking to play with them.  This is at the park where we had a picnic and I almost died of heat.  I can’t handle being outside in 98 degree weather, especially when I’m already hot all the time anyway!

Carly was a little scared of the ground fireworks we did at my aunt’s and uncle’s house, but Casey loved getting some cuddles out of her.
