Back in Utah for good

Well I got back to Utah over a week ago to finish up with this pregnancy and be close to the hospital. I have only been in Utah for maybe 3 weeks total since april. I have spent the summer with Chris in Vegas and my family in Washington. The summer has blurred by, I CANT believe August will be here this week. I love summer and I'm sad to see it pass so quickly but on the other hand, I am relieved my due date is approaching. Someone asked me, "can you believe you are almost due?!" and I said "Yes, I can! Actually I cant believe I still have 3 weeks left." I am VERY anxious to have this baby. My due date is August 17 but hopefully he will come sooner. Addysin came 8 days early so I am hopeful. (Good news! I am dialted to a 1 and 50% effaced.)I am trying to enjoy this last part of summer that I have but its hard to stop wishing the time away. I officially am ready for the baby. I got out all the baby stuff and bought the things we need. It is so much easier to know what to buy the second time around, and thats if you dont already have it.

Here I am with my sisters on Jessica's birthday. We went to the Cheesecake factory in Salt Lake City. Yeah I know I look awkwardly unconfortable in this picutre. I haven't figured out how to pose around my belly.

Living the same life

This is me with my friend Anneka. We were roomates as freshman at college (BYU-I) and then she married someone from the area I am from in Washington. So sometimes I get to see her when I'm home. Anyways these pictures are just for fun. This is about a year and a half ago when we both had new baby girls. They are about 6 weeks apart and both go by "Addy". Here they are now with the same cute hair-do.
And here we are! We are both having boys and they will be about a month apart. How funny huh? She just had hers and I would love to be in her place at this moment.

Can your baby dance like this?

Here's another cute video of Addysin dancing. She is soooo much fun! She loves the big mirrors where she can watch herself. She may have waited to walk untill 16 months but she has got it down. She is just over 19 months now. Check out her swimsuit tan line. She has the most beautiful skin color (no thanks to me).

Time with my family

After the Lee reunion Chris had an extra day here in Washington so we were able to spend it with my family. Its the best being from the same hometown.
We just enjoyed the cool nights (very different than Vegas) and spent time outside.
Here I am at 34 weeksWe went to Scootney on Monday to go boating. The next day Chris flew back to Vegas. It was a really fun week for us. I am staying here with my family for a few more days before I go back to Utah to finish up my last 4 weeks of pregnancy (yay!).

Lee Family reunion

Addy LOVES her daddy!July 3-6 Chris' whole family came to Washington for a family reunion. It was so fun! We were soooo busy those 4 days. We went to a small water park one day, the guys went golfing while the girls made big wall clocks another day, watched fireworks, went to the temple, had family pictures, ate a lot, and got a little bit of sleep.

Here is Chris' WHOLE family

Chris' parents

This is one of the best pictures we got
Did you notice two more additions? Congratulations Tony and Becca!

Tony proposed July 5 to Rachel. They are getting married in October in the Rexburg, ID Temple. That is where she is from.
Also Becca and Caleb are getting married September 5 in the Columbia River Temple. He is from Arkansas.
Chris' sisters and mom making clocks. It was an all day project and we didn't even finish! I will post a picture of mine when I get it done. They are really cool.
Addysin the farmer. Taking after her mom.
On the 4th of July we watched fireworks in Connell. For it being a small town of 3,000 the fireworks were actually really good. Can you tell by Chris' expression? Its such a funny picture huh? Especially since he was taking it.

The month of June

I haven't updated for a while so here is what we've been doing. I spent 10 days in Washington with my family at the beginning of June. I made the trip especially for my sister who graduated from high school. It was so fun to be with some of my family and Chris' parents. Addysin LOVED being there. She had a big house to roam around in and lots of people adoring her. I loved it too. It was nice to have my sisters and parents playing with her. I'm just not fun all the time and Addysin gets bored with me. I know that is hard to believe :) Addysin loved being outside in the yard and seeing all the animals on the farm. She is a looker though, not a toucher. She gets too scared to touch them. If she built up enough courage she would pet the dog and kittens.

Probably the thing I loved most was going for walks with my family. I LOVE walking by the orchard in the evenings. My parents live by an elementary school out in the country so we would go up there. I hope someday Chris and I can live somewhere near there. I absolutely love the Tri-cities during the summer, its really pretty with all of the farm lands and the rivers.

My dad went for a bike ride one night while we were walking.

Chris' dad and Addysin

While I was in Washington I had 2 projects I wanted to accomplish, and I did! One was photoshopping our wedding pictures (see next post down) and the other was to make our baby's blessing outfit. It took me my whole last day I was there but I am so glad I have it done now.

I flew directly to Las Vegas from Pasco on Fathers day to be with my best friend (thats Chris). We were so happy to see him again and Addysin couldn't stop kissing him, it was adorable.

We spent the first night in The MGM Grand. It was so nice. Addysin even got her own Queen size bed! My flight plans were to only stay for 8 days but I figured what was my hurry to get back home to nothing, so I stayed for 2 weeks. It was so nice to be with Chris, but It was definitly really hot. It was usually around 105 degrees everyday. Being pregnant during the summer is definitly a big deal, which I thought I wouldn't even notice. The baby adds 10 degrees to any temperature. The worst is waking up at night sweating even when the house is cold and I'm not even using sheets. Another thing is when we went out in the eveing and you expect to step out of the house into cooler air, its not cooler. Still 100! I always felt so overdressed, expecially with all the skimpy Vegas attire. I felt like I was dressed for winter. Well I wont be going back to Vegas this summer because I am getting pretty close to having the baby and need to stay close to the Dr. and hospital. I will be going for one more trip to Washington though tommorrow for Chris' family reunion. I get there wednesday and Chris gets there Thursday. It will be really fun.

Here I am today at 33 weeks and 2 days. Yeah, not a very flattering picture but this is what I look like everytime I remember to get a belly shot and so I just buckled down I took one. Can you believe I still have 7 weeks left of growing? I cant. How can a women's body stretch so much?

Well today was fun because I got to spend it with my 3 sisters that live here in Utah (Kara, Amy, & Jessica). We went to 7 peaks water park for a few hours. Addysin really liked it and was happy the whole time even though it was right during her nap time. One thing I must say though is a water park isn't as fun when you're banned from the slides (due to being pregnant). The lazy river and kid pools just dont do it for me. Well I guess I better get used to it though because thats the life of a mom. Sorry, no pictures of our day because the swim suit shots just weren't so cute.
