My baby shower

My friend kelly threw me a baby shower today. It was a lot of fun. here is a picture of my beautiful hostess and some decorations.

Guess how big my belly is

My friends guessing how big they think my belly is. Kay won. My belly is 11 toilet paper squares around.

This was the guess the poop game. We were laughing at Michelle cuz she looked like she was eating it.

The cakes

My friend Kay made these cakes for the shower. The small one was made specifically for Tony so that he didnt feel left out. I thought that was sweet.

ohhh my aching back!!! i should have knocked on wood

I have either over done it or pregnancy is just catching up to me. everyone always asks how im feeling and I have always been able to say great!!! This surprised me considering how much bigger Cyrus is growing. I was just telling Tony's Dad the other night. "I dont know how my back isnt hurting yet." I should have knocked on wood because it is killing me tonight!! Im hoping it is just from all the work i have done today moving stuff around and what not. but if not im going to sit down and have a serious talk with my son about his weight!! Just kidding im glad he is growing big and healthy and my backache is just a reminder of how healthy he is!!

I believe nesting has official begun!!!

I have become increasingly more preoccupied with cleaning and getting things ready for Cyrus' arrival. but yesterday was ridiculous. the sister missionaries came and helped me clean the garage. It was extremely bad so it took most the day. we still had boxes in there from the move that we hadn't been through. I had wanted to rearrange the furniture that evening but unfortunately Lisa my neighbor couldn't come and help me with moving stuff until today so all night all I could do was go over in my head was what i wanted to do with furniture to make more room and how I wanted to rearrange Cyrus' room, and what else needed to be organized. I just couldn't get out of preparation mode. So needless to say I didn't get much sleep. I have to say though now that his room and the living room are arranged how I would like I am very happy. now I just have organizing to do. My friend Kira will be here on the 13Th and staying for a couple days so My goal is to have my house Cyrus ready so that I can just sit back and relax for the rest of my pregnancy.

Patriarchal blessing interview

I finally had my patriarchal blessing interview today. I could feel the spirit so strongly as he asked me the questions. It was wonderful. so anyway I now have my patriarchal blessing recommend. Now I just have to contact the patriarch to set up an appointment to see him. Im so excited!!
