Lately...

The Best Conversations

During the last week Grace has started to be very smiley and "talky" and I love it! The best and most rewarding conversations I have ever had have been with my sweet, 6 week old baby girl cooing and smiling at each other. I took this picture on my phone=poor quality and blurriness.

LOVE THIS GIRL!

School is done...

Well finals are finished and school's out for summer. I graduate on Friday from Utah Valley University with a Bachelors degree in Art & Visual Communications. I am so happy and proud of myself for sticking it out. There were many times when I wanted to give up, now I am happy that I pushed through (sometimes being pulled by my sweet husband) and finished. It makes me happy to know that some day I can tell my kids that I did it and so can they. Education is so important. So even though it was hard, took me 7 years and switching my major 4 times, being 6-9 months pregnant and giving birth during my last semester...I DID IT!!

1 week...

Well we are getting really close to this little girl making her appearance. I can't believe it! I'm so excited to meet and hold her. I am really hoping she doesn't keep us waiting long, but I know she will come when it is time. I am finishing my last semester right now and while its been hard I've never been more motivated to tough out the last few classes and projects. Tyler has been so great and supportive, I'm so grateful for him and I love him so much! Well I'm off...until then keep your fingers crossed that she comes soon!

That's not mine...

Lately I look at my hands or feet or catch a glimpse of myself walking by a mirror and I seriously wonder, "WHO IS THAT?!" I am feeling very pregnant these days, but I am so excited and other things make up for it, like feeling her roll around or push her foot out at me. 4 weeks to go...

34 Weeks

Today I am 34 weeks! I'm nervous, anxious, and overly excited. I have been really sick the last 2 weeks which has been awesome (not), and it was the icing on the cake when I went to my appointment today and I asked my doctor if I should be feeling better yet. The following conversation pursued:
Doctor: How are you feeling?
Me: Alright. Shouldn't I feel better by now? My throat still hurts and I am still coughing a lot.
Doctor: How long have you been on the antibiotic?
Me: 7 days.
Doctor: Oh, yeah. It's way to soon for you to feel better.
Me: (Nothing) (Thinking in my head, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!")
He then proceeded to tell me how sorry he was that slowing healing was part of pregnancy, I think he saw that I was about to burst into tears and felt bad.

Anyway, I am so excited to meet my little girl! We finally have things purchased and ready for the most part. It makes it seem so real. Well I better go now, my sweet husband is calling for me to watch Batman. :-)

Graduate School...Here We Come!

Last night we found out that Tyler was accepted to New York Film Academy of Los Angeles, Producing Graduate Program. We are so excited! Tyler applied to a total of 4 graduate schools, 3 in California and 1 in Utah. This is the first school we have heard back from and was our #1 choice. When we visited the campus back in March both of us felt very good about it. We will still wait and see where else he gets in before making a final decision-so between now and then there will be a lot of weighing options and praying. We are so excited for this new adventure in our life. It makes me so happy to see Tyler so happy and giddy. He gets that way every time he is about to do anything with film. It truly is his calling in life.
