This past weekend was so nice. We had a date night and went to this new restaurant called The Grotto. Its italian food, and soooo yummy. We sat on the patio and just enjoyed ourselves. I ordered some pasta with this great salad…the Grotto salad. Yum, the dressing was so delicious. Then they gave us sweet bruscetta (sp?) at the end which was cute and yummy. Then we walked around to a couple of stores and then went over to the mall to get our wedding bands cleaned and then to see Four Brothers.

What a nice evening! Last night bj was funny, he went to play basketball and as he left he instructed me not to panic if I had contractions unless they were 5 min. apart. I thought it was so cute!!! Its getting closer. She is so low, I feel like if I cough she is going to fall out. When I sit my stomach just rests in my lap…haha…it feels so funny.

Last night a friend of mine, Meredith Aleman, had her baby. He was a little early but healthy and so is she. Next its my turn!!!

Tonight is our second to last lamaze class….we have really been enjoying it and it makes the whole process seem so real and close. I can’t believe we are almost there.

Well I’m off to do Stay-at-Home mom things 🙂 Happy Tuesday everyone!

Well here it is the Rock hard, huge belly 🙂 34weeks and 3 days…..oh I can’t wait for her arrival. 40 more days to go!!!! Sure sounds better than 40 weeks to go!

Yesterday our church threw us a shower and we got lots of the things that we were still needing. It was so much fun and the games were hilarious. They had one where BJ and my aunt were the “babies” and 4 girls and 4 guys had to make a diaper on them as fast as they could in 2 minutes with toilet paper. I was sooooooo thankful I wore a skirt, so I couldn’t participate, but oh my goodness, that was a funny game. I was laughing so hard I was almost crying. I will definitely have to post pictures as soon as I can get some.

Last night I slept on the couch. I tossed and turned in bed so much that I was afraid I would wake BJ up, so I got up to read or cross-stitch and I fell asleep. The good things was that the couch was actually really comfortable because I could sink down into it. So I may have to sleep there from now on until this big huge, solid rock gut is gone 😉

Well another week has begun, and this week marks my “weekly” checkups from here on out. I hope I make quick progress.

Take care and Happy Monday everyone!!!

Well yesterday I got crafty and decided to start cross-stitching a 5×7 picture for the baby room. It’s pretty cute, but I just hope I can get it done before she gets here. I haven’t cross-stitched since I was like 10. It is coming along pretty good just slow. But at least I will be able to say I made it myself 🙂

I’ll post a pic as soon as I finish it.

In other news, I AM BACK ONLINE!!!!! We finally have internet and phone at the house and I am so happy. It is still dial-up for the time being but at least I don’t have to cart everything and myself over to the office anytime I want to get online. We should have high-speed in about a month. The company is really backed up on their orders so it is taking a while.

Last night we went to Jared and Britton’s concert, and then proceeded to stay up until 4 a.m. watching old family videos and basketball games. It was hilarious. I sewed while I watched. We are so old already 😉 So we slept in until nearly noon today which was nice. Then woke up to powdered sugar donuts and milk 🙂 Yum!!!

Tonight is date night. We are gonna go eat and see a movie. Our time is limited now, since we don’t know when the little miss will make her arrival. I’m excited though. We are going to try a new restaurant, don’t know which one yet, just something we haven’t tried yet. mmmmm maybe PF Chang’s…I love chinese.

Well that’s all for now!!! I have many things to do before this evening.

oh, one more thing, people have been asking when they will know if they won the Baby Guessing game. I will post the week or so after the birth to let you know who won. If you would still like to make a prediction or change yours or add another there is still time. Go to the link under LINKS on the left and the game name is Munsonbabycoming. Have fun!!!

Ok so if you haven’t heard yesterday I gave everyone a big scare. Here’s the story:

So I had let Hoobie out to go the bathroom and he roams around usually. But yesterday I heard a four-wheeler coming and Hoobie had wandered really far away from the house and I was afraid he was going to get hit by the four-wheeler. So I was hurrying to go call him inside and I hit the step into our living room (that is unfinished, so the grout hurts really bad) and it busted open my toe. Blood was going everywhere and then I lost my balance, tried to catch myself on the bar, instead I scratched up and bruised my arm in the process and proceeded to fall straight onto my right knee and then all the way to the ground. The thing is that I had so much momentum behind me and so much weight 🙂 in front of me that gravity did its deed and there was no stopping it. So I was trying so hard to not fall straight onto the baby and I hit on my side (FYI we have tile in our house so it was not a cushioned fall). I was crying my eyes out and bleeding like crazy. And so scared that I had hurt the baby, so I called bj and he came flying over on the four-wheeler.

Well all the while, Hoobie is still outside, and I was still worried about him getting hit, so I told bj that He was out there, but in the process of my calling and crying, bj couldn’t figure out what in the world was going on and all he heard was I had an accident and Hoobie is outside. So, he immediately thought I had somehow accidentally killed Hoobie or that I was really really injured bad. Well I was and I needed him.

So he gets to the house and helps me clean up and stop crying. Then I rested for a while and called my Dr. They wanted me to come in just to be safe. So I spent the rest of the afternoon at the doctor with my mom.

The doctor experience was actually quite interesting though. They hooked me up to the fetal monitor and the other monitor that monitors my contractions. So I sat there for about 30-45 minutes. It was great to get to hear the heartbeat for a long time. Then she kicked a whole bunch and my mom got to see that. I had two very small contractions while I was there, but I didn’t even feel them and they barely showed up on the screen.(do not be alarmed, the dr said it was fine and since they were so mild it was not a concern.) Needless to say it was cool to see what I will be hooked up to during labor.

So after that they did an ultrasound, because her heartbeat didn’t ever really go up or down, it just stayed the same so they wanted to see her movement. So i was really excited because we weren’t scheduled to have anymore ultrasounds. So I got to see my little girl and she is so beautiful. We saw her face and her little mouth opening and closing. Everything checked out fine and the baby is fine and so am I. Just a little sore from the fall and from my injuries but I’m fine. Other good news is the little one has already turned and is head down and ready for delivery!!! Maybe she will make a slightly early arrival. They said she looks really good.

I was a little freaked out though because they kept asking me how far along I was in a way that made me think maybe they thought I could have her yesterday. I freaked out thinking of all the things I don’t have ready yet, not even my bag. So as soon as I get rested up I will be completing that task so it is ready.

So that was my eventful day yesterday. Today I am just taking it easy and recovering. Oh and just in case you are wondering, we found Hoobie and he didn’t get hit by the 4-wheeler. 🙂

Wow!! I am feeling the weight of the baby like crazy. Yesterday I was so tired and all I did was go to the doctor and then to the library. WOWEE!! The night before we had gone to the youth camp that BJ has been playing at all week, and that alone wiped me out. We didn’t get home until 11 and I was zonked. So I have been recovering the last two days. Last night I literally sat on the couch and watched tv the whole night and then I switched to reading. I got two novels at the library. I’ve been really craving a good read. So anyway, needless to say I am ready for this little one to be out of me. She is getting too big for the inside. Makes me sore. 😦

I am finishing my washing today and that is exciting, because then I can pack my suitcase with her going home outfits. And yesterday I got a baby name book so we can decide on her first name. It is really starting to get aggrivating that we cannot decide on her name. Hopefully we will make some progress soon!!

Well everyone enjoy your weekend. 🙂

Well I went for my 32 week appointment today and all is well. Nothing to report except a healthy active little girl in there. She weighs approximately 4-4 1/2lbs!!! Only 7 more weeks until her arrival. I’m so excited!!! Today I am washing clothes and blankets to get ready for her. My to-do list keeps growing and growing 🙂

I’m not that boring I promise!! I think this quiz is not very accurate.

This is BJ and my dad painting the crib a few weeks ago.

This is my cake made of cupcakes in the shape of a bear that we had for the shower a couple of weeks ago at my house.

Here is me and my hostesses for the shower a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun and very beautiful!!
