My toenails

I've been wanting

to get my toe nails

painted for a while

and especially get

them done before

I deliver, and then

Mundy hurt his arm

so he couldn't really

do it for me.

Then one of the kids

started going on about

wanting to do them

and I knew what the

result would be,but

thought it would be

fun for them and

something for me

to be able to concen-
trate on during labor.

Jeremy did 4 all blue

on my right foot. Jonah

did my the next three

a pearl, purple, and

red. Andrew did the last

three on my left foot

green, red, and maroon.

Crazy, but you would

be surprised at how

excited they were to

be able to paint them.

Then the boys were

wanting to do their

own nails. Mundy

wasn't to keen on

that. Luckily Mundy

was able to help me clean them up a little as some

of my toes had more polish on the skin then the

nail.

Labor (or lack there of) update

Well just to let you know, Lilly is not co-operating with the whole coming on Saturday thing. Which is a disappointment for more then one reason. I tried all kinds of things yesterday and it doesn't seemed to have worked at all! I'm feeling very ready and very frustrated and very whiney!

Less then two weeks!

Finally I'm getting

this picture posted!

It will probably be

the last one as we

are less then 2 weeks

away from the due date.

I've been told I've grown

in the last month or so.

Don't forget to check out the posts before this one.

Our memory card is going bad and so Mundy had to

download the pictures. Enjoy!

Andrew and Grandma Dutton's birthday!

We went to Hatch
Memorial Day
Weekend to celebrate
Andrew's and Grandma's
birthdays. Andrew was
born the day before
Grandma. Aunt Christy
(sorry if I spelled that
wrong) wanted to make

each of them their own
cake so Jonah, Jeremy,
cousin Justin, and cousin
Marci all helped to decorate
them. Andrew didn't want
to help because he wanted
his cake to be a surprise.
We let him open his
present from us early so that

he could use it while we
were up there. He got a
Daisy bb gun. He was
very excited about it. Dad
made him read the whole
booklet they send with it on
safety before he could even
use it, but said that he was
a pretty good shot once he

used it. I wasn't able to get
picture of Andrew blowing
out his candles as we were
in the trailor so the wind
wouldn't blow them out.
We had about 10 kids and
some adults in there to sing
so I couldn't move around
to where I could get a shot.
Happy Birthday and watch Grandma and Andrew blow
out their candles. I was able to get one of Grandma though.
All in all we had a fun weekend with the family.

slip-n-slide

The boys had been
dying to play with
the slip-n-slide
Andrew got for days,
but with a trip to Hatch
going on they didn't get
to play with it until the
day they left for their
mother's house for 3 weeks.
They had a blast playing on
it and it was fun to watch
them. Andrew had us rating
his tricks on a scale of one to
ten.
They come back on Wednesday
We can't wait. Three weeks
is a long time!

update

Okay I know you guys want a pic and I think about it a lot, just haven't done it. I'll try and get at least one more before she comes. Things have been pretty hectic lately and yet not, if that makes sense. My appt with the doc on Thursday showed that I'm at a 1 for the 3rd week in a row, but that my cervix is softening. Since then I've had a lot more contractions and/or cramps. We are doing all we can to see if we can have her on the 27th so if any of you have any suggestions,I'm open to them!

update

Just a quick update. I went to the doctor Thursday, the first of the weekly appts, and found out I'm dialated to a 1. So it begins. I've been feeling okay, about as okay as you can at this point anyway. I've decided I have two major things to look forward to, holding her skin to skin and sleeping on my stomach! Not long now! I have just less then 4 weeks. Crazy isn't? Other then that we have a really quiet house as the boys will be gone for 3 weeks starting last Wednesday. Mundy is going nuts right now, getting laid off was hard enough on him then last weekend he dislocated his shoulder so he is very limited in what he can do. For someone that is always tinkering with something it's been a struggle. We know that we have been very blessed despite all this and we are truly grateful for all we've been given from our Father in Heaven. The biggest of these is our sweet Lilly who will soon arrive. I love to picture her up there talking to her namesake before she comes, it brings me great joy!

Lil doc

I wish I had had my camera with me, but it was too cute not to share anyways. I went for a doctor's appt. and Mundy and Jonah came with me. Doc let Jonah help him out so the first thing he tried to do was grab the measuring tape. Doc said, "Too late, I already have it". Then Jonah handed him the "toothpaste" he'd grabbed off the table. After Doc put some on he let Jonah find the heartbeat which was a huge thrill for him. He had a huge grin on his face. He actually found the heartbeat really quickly and then wanted to just move it around. We had to tell him to go back to where he started. He loved that he could help the doctor and could hear the heartbeat again, which he said sounded like a lion. Doc said that we had a lil' doc on our hands. It was really cute to witness all that.

belated pic

All right! Here is my ugly pic! This is
me on a bad everything day. I went to
work and was completely exhausted so
came home early. Things are going well
though. Lilly is a mover and shaker. She
is right on in size and everything. Mundy
and I are taking prenatal classes now. Last
night was about labor and delivery and I
think I'm wimping out on the whole
going natural thing. I could maybe do it
if it was a quick one, but hours on end?
Not likely! I think I'll tell the doc I'll start
natural, but want the anesthesiologist on
hand just in case! On Saturday I will be
at 34 weeks! I can't believe how close it
is getting! I just hope the ultrasound
didn't show it wrong. Mundy made a
comment about be carrying low and
that night I had a dream about it being
a boy and we had to start over with the
clothes etc. since we were prepped for
a boy! It's been a worry ever since.
Oh well,
just another
one to add to
the list of
worries!
Thanks for
all the love
and support.

pregnancy pic

I know everyone has been looking for my monthly pic and it's not showed up yet. I have been exhausted, busy etc and keep forgetting. I will try to get to it soon though!
