The Waiting Game

I am now at 38 weeks (39 according to the doctor ha ha)!! CRAZY! And for now Kiley and I are just playing the waiting game with our little girl. We are so anxious to get this little girl here that we (me especially) can hardly stand it. However, with school out for the summer and plenty of time on my hands I've been having loads of fun working on the baby room! Kiley has been a good sport and has helped me with everything. He is so amazing. :)












This is a picture of my $5 curtains I made. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. :)










And these are just a few more pic's of the crib and baby room. I had so much fun making the room extremely girly and pink. :)




What else has been going on with us? Not much, actually. Kiley has started working on the mountain again but the rain (and snow...in May...what is up with that?!) has been keeping him from being able to work very much. But the days that he is able to get to work are very hard for me because (if the weather cooperates) he is gone Monday-Friday, morning and nights. Not fun! Plus they don't have service which makes it even more scary since this little girl could come any day now! But I really shouldn't be complaining. We are so blessed that Kiley is able to have this work. And we both know that everything will work out for the better, one way or another. :) That's really all I have to say for now. I'll try to keep the blog updated when this baby girl gets here!

My Personal ABC's

A - Attached or Single: Attached, definitely attached!
B - Best Friend: My wonderful hubby, Kiley. Ya know, the one I'm attached to. :)
C - Cake or Pie: Pumpkin pie will *always be my favorite! With plenty of whipped cream on top. But I think I'd take cake over most of the other pies.
D - Dream of: The day our baby girl finally arrives!
E - Embarassing moment: Wow...I have so many. But I think the one that takes the cake is the time that I passed my (then) soon-to-be-future-in-laws on the freeway while speeding and talking on the phone! Ya...ok, here's the story: I had just finished spending a very fun weekend with Kiley and his family and this was the first weekend that he and I had *really talked about and started making plans for getting married. Of course we had talked about it before, but this weekend we actually started *planning it. So, as you can imagine, I was "all a flutter" and I couldn't think about anything else. (Now that I think about it, I really probably shouldn't have been driving...) So, after I left Kiley and his family and was driving home I decided to call my mom and tell her the news. I was so excited while I was talking to her that I didn't even notice that I was speeding and that I *passed my future-in-laws *while talking on the phone and *speeding! Next thing I know I get a call from Kiley saying "My parents just called me and said that you just passed them going pretty fast while taking on the phone..." I was SO embarrassed! I'm still surprised they let me marry their son after that. :)
F - Favorite Color: blue, but not just any blue. That one blue in the crayon box that I can never remember it's name. :)
G - Greatest vacation: Summer vacation!!!
H - Hidden talent: My lip thing...I think it might run in our family actually.
I - Indulgence(s): Currently, AVOCADO's! They are definitely the craving that has been sticking around the longest during this pregnancy!
J - January or July: July cause there's no school and no snow! What could be better?
K - Kids: One little girl on the way! Only about 7 more weeks til she gets here. I can't wait!
L - Life is incomplete without: Kiley Sanders
M - Marriage Date: September 3, 2010
N - Number of Siblings: 10 brothers and 1 sister
O - Odd thing about me: I actually just noticed this about myself the other day, but whenever I am eating any candy/snack like fruit snacks, M&M's, chocolate chips, raisins, etc I always have to end with putting 2 in my mouth. I can't finish with just one. Don't ask me why I do this...
P - Place I hope to visit: Spain or the Marshall Islands (that's where Kiley served his mission and I would love to go there with him someday)
Q - Quotes: "'Twas a sheep not a lamb
That strayed away in the parable Jesus told,
A grown-up sheep that strayed away
From the ninety and nine in the fold.
And why for the sheep should we seek
And earnestly hope and pray?
Because there is danger when sheep go wrong:
They lead the lambs astray.
Lambs will follow the sheep, you know,
Wherever the sheep may stray.
When sheep go wrong,
It won’t take long till the lambs are as wrong as they.
And so with the sheep we earnestly plead
For the sake of the lambs today,
For when the sheep are lost
What a terrible cost
The lambs will have to pay."
R - Reason to smile: My hubby made me lunch today! I just love him :)
S - Season: It's hard to decide between spring and summer, but I think I'm going to have to go with summer.
T - Tag Three Friends: Um...I don't even know *how to tag on blogs...
U - Unknown fact about me: I was raised by the World's Strictest Parents :)
V - Very favorite Store: DI and Thrift Stores! Can I add yard sales too? I know that's not a *store, but I love yard sales. :)
W - Worst habit: Letting Kiley pop my fingers and toes
X - X-tra thing about me: I am scared to death of the dentist office! I have to literally mentally prepare myself before I make a visit. One time I cried because my mom scheduled a dentist appointment for me and forgot to tell me about it until it was already time to go. I was in my Junior year of High School at that time...and I still cried...ya, not a fan of visits to the dentist.
Y - Your favorite food: Right now I am loving fruits and veggie's! Especially avocado's, plums, and apples. Yummy! But before I became pregnant I would have probably said Italian...or Mexican.
Z - Zodiac: Leo

And just for fun, here is a #32 week photo of the baby bump/hill. :)
