Baby Shower

I tried to do this the other day, but blogger wasn't working so here it is. These are some pictures from the baby shower on March 22. I have a lot more, but I thought these were the most important. Thank you to all who came and gave me gifts. I can't wait to use them with this little baby inside of me.

8 Months and Counting

Well I am definitely ready for this baby to be here. My feet are so swollen these days that I can hardly be on them without feeling like they are going to burst. I'm so excited to have Lincoln here that I keep praying he will come early. I know it is probably a false hope, but maybe the doctor will see how big he is and how little I am and he will induce me....we can always hope right. We are moving next weekend and my last day of teaching is on Friday. A big weekend is planned for us. I can't wait till it is all over and we have our sweet baby at home with us. Just 3 and a half more weeks till he is due!!! Anyway here is my big belly. Knew you would all want to see it.

Easter

We went to an Easter Egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter and these are a few pictures of the kids picking up treats. They all absolutely loved it. Especially McKenna, she was really fun to watch. She couldn't decide whether to pick up the egg or hold on to her basket. It was really cute.

Don't Tell Me

Well I know you will all want to tell me I told you so after this, but I can't help myself from hoping. We went to the doctor on Thursday and we had an ultrasound. No surprise to anyone from the Dow side, he is measuring big. I don't know all of the exact numbers, but the doctor says he is measuring to be due on May 13th. That is 9 days early. The bad news is that my doctor won't induce just because of size. So hopefully, I will just be ready at that time, maybe my water will break. If I have to go a week over my actual due date (May 22nd), he will probably be huge. So everyone pray for me to go early.

Number 7

Well here is me at 7 months pregnant. Only two left. Counting down.

Last Day

Well I just wanted to show everyone the pictures we took on the last day that Heidi and Albert were here before they officially went into the MTC. Todd wanted to take a few of the traditional pictures and we were more than willing to postpone saying goodbye. I really hate goodbyes and have to admit that I got teary eyed watching Todd and Ammon hug their parents. It was cute and I should have taken a picture, but I always forget the good moments. Anyway we will miss them dearly, especially when little baby comes. However, we are very excited about their mission and we can't wait to hear about everything that happens.

Third Trimester

I have finally made it to the third trimester!!! People keep telling me it will go fast or it has gone fast, and I say - You don't have to live in this body. Anyone who has been pregnant can understand what I am saying. Here is my month 6 picture. I know I'm getting bigger. Don't worry everyone tells me...don't you love it.
