New Year, New Adventures!

Well, this is going to be a year of change for me and David. And I mean a lot of change! It’s so weird to think that our baby girl will be here in 2 ½ months! Holy cow! I’m 30 weeks pregnant now, that means there’s only 10 weeks to go! Becoming parents will be our biggest change for sure. I’m super excited of course, but I’m nervous too. When I think about it too much I start to realize how scary it is and start to think that I’m not going to know what to do or that I won’t like it or that I’m just not ready. I’m sure all of that is normal, but yeah… Also giving birth scares the crap out of me… So I’m trying not to think too much about that just yet. We have signed up for a birthing class that is in a few weeks, so I think that should be good. The class is offered at my doctor’s office by one of the labor and delivery nurses at the hospital I’m going to be delivering at, so I think it should be really helpful.

30 weeks! Only 10 more to go!

It’s so funny how now that I’m pregnant it seems like everyone I know is also pregnant! I guess I’m just at that point in life though where most of the people I know are getting married and starting their families. I’m pregnant, my best friend is pregnant, my sister is pregnant, my sister-in-law is pregnant, my good friend from high school is pregnant, my good friend from the mission is pregnant, my old visiting teaching companion is pregnant, my old roommate is pregnant, one of the girls I currently visit teach is pregnant… I think you get what I mean, I could even name more, but I won’t.

Our Christmas break was great! We got to spend time with our families down in the nice warm St. George, Hurricane, and New Harmony. Well, most days it was warm, it did snow like 3 times, but it wasn’t anything like what it’s been like in Provo, so it was ok. We were down there for 10 days. We got to rest and relax, hang out and play games with family. We saw tons of movies, ate really good food and got to see my dad sing at a local restaurant, so it was definitely a winner of a trip!

Now we’re back and David started school yesterday. I’m happy I don’t have school this semester. I’m just at work, I’m working Monday through Thursday from 8:15 to 4:15, so it’ll be nice to have Friday’s off to get stuff done for the baby, clean the apartment, run errands, see friends, and David has short days on Fridays too, so we’ll get to spend some more time together too which is always nice J. I had a lot of catching up to do at work  after I got back, so it was crazy for a while there, but now things are settling into their routine, for me anyway, I think David still has to get in the swing of his new schedule. David is going to graduate with his Bachelor’s degree in April, crazy! He’s really excited. Then we’re going to move to who knows where for grad school and start a whole new chapter of life. Man, we have so many new things coming up! It’s fun and crazy and we both wish we knew the specifics, but we just have to wait a little longer for that, so it’s ok.

Did I mention that I’m learning to sew? Yeah, I’ve made like 6 things since Thanksgiving. I think I might be nesting a little bit ha ha. I made 3 Christmas stockings, 2 maxi skirts and a maternity shirt, all with a little help from my mama. Next I want to make some burp clothes, curtains, and a little shirt or dress for our little girl, these will have to be easy because I won’t have my mom in the next room to ask for help and I’ll be using my own machine which I’ve never used before, so I’m sure I’ll hit a few bumps. I’ll put up some pictures of the stuff I’ve done soon and maybe even tell a little bit about how I did it.
