3/4 of the way!!!

We have come up with a name!!! We are going to name him Quinn Don Deveraux. It's such a relief to have the name picked out! I am now 30 weeks pregnant! I will be 7 months this upcoming Sunday. I can't believe that it's almost here, I'm going to be a mom! It's so exciting to think about, but honestly I'm terrified for the birth. Hadley and I have been taking our prenatal baby classes at the hospital for a couple weeks now. I've learned a lot, and it makes me anxious knowing that this is all just around the corner. It's been fun to be pregnant, and feel him move inside my belly, but I'm so ready to meet the little guy already! I feel like I have had a great pregnancy so far (beside the normal throwing up the first few weeks), but it is now taking a toll on my body. Here is a list that has changed with my body that past couple weeks...

1. I can no longer see my toes when I stand up straight, nor can I paint my own toenails

2. Sitting forward or bending over cuts off all my air supply...

3. Heartburn is eating my insides

4. I have to make grunting noised to get up off my bed or couches

5. I get Braxton Hicks hourly

6. I would rather sleep then eat..

7. My stomach bounces when I laugh

8. I get kicked by the baby numerous times a day <--my favorite :)

9. My legs look like the Michelin Tires mascots legs.. oh wait, my whole body does..

10. I get crazy nervous when I don't feel the baby move for a couple hours

30 Weeks

July 4th

Wow two blog posts in one day!!! I think I'm doing pretty good at catching up! For the Fourth of July we had a bbq at my parents house with the my family, Aunt LeAnne, Uncle Tim, and most of their kids and their kids! It was fun seeing my cousins and their kids and how big they are getting. I kept picturing Hadley and myself having a ten month year old baby in a year playing with all of his cute cousins. I also consumed around 10 pounds of food at the bbq, which satisfied the baby and of course my stomach. I wish I would have gotten pictures of the bbq, but I was too busy trying to keep cool in the 100 degree weather!

After the bbq my family (besides Sarah, Kyle, and Bo... and obviously Mitchell) went to a Salt Lake Bees game. We sat out on the grass so we could lay on blankets and watch fireworks afterwards. You may not all know this, but Father Brian is a sucker for concession stands. He bought cotton candy, sugar coated almonds, popcorn, shaved ice, and some drinks. Each time he would go on a "walk" he would bring another treat or two back with him. After the Bees lost by one run, they let whoever wanted to go out on outfields grass to watch the fireworks. They had quite the show with what seemed like many finales. Our night ended with us being pelted by the ashes and cardboard from the fireworks, such an eventful day!

Cotton Candy Mustaches

Lake Powell = Paradise

I have neglected my blog for almost two months now, and I told myself I would post at least once every couple weeks when I started this thing. So here I am now going to catch up on the last  month. In June my family did their annual Lake Powell vacation for a week. We had great weather the entire time which made the trip that much more enjoyable. Since I was 6 months pregnant at the time I had to eliminate myself from wakeboarding, tubing, cliff jumping, etc. But I can honestly say it was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had. It was so nice to float around in the water feeling like I weighed two pounds! With Lake Powell, comes water balloon fights. Nick and Hadley spent hours filling up 400+ water balloons. And yes I have proof...

Watching balloons nail siblings left and right, launching balloons at siblings in kayaks, watching Hadley and Amanda's faces when they each broke a vent on the houseboat, and the best, seeing Hadley's reaction when he nailed Father Brian in the face with a balloon. With all those things I laughed so hard I could have had the baby if I was further along...

Lake Powell will always be one of my favorite destinations for vacationing, and I'm so glad I have such a fun family to travel with!
