The FINAL touch

Well, the baby's room is FINALLY complete! The vinyl lettering is all up and it looks AWESOME! If you notice as well, I hung up orange vinyl construction trucks as well randomly all around the room. I am very pleased with how it turned out! Now all we need is Tucker to arrive to enjoy the room we worked so hard on=)

About that....I have been told MANY times that I should expect to go over my due date since it's my first baby and it's a boy. Well folks, I honestly think I will go before that. We will see though. I could be eating my words when Decemeber 19th rolls around, but with all my symptoms that have been happening, I think he will be here sooner. I will keep you posted though=)

The Tradition Continues

So let me start by telling you who the Overby's are. They are the family that has lived next to my parents house for probably 37 year or so. Not only are our families extremely close, my mom and Sheila look more like sisters than with their own sisters! It's pretty crazy how much they look alike. When we were younger we would get them confused now the grandkids get them confused!

Anyways, every time a new Twilight movie comes out, all the women from both families go to dinner and then go to the movie. This is exactly what we did Saturday. We headed to Red Robin and then saw the movie. It was definitely a typical cheesy Twilight movie, but all in all, it was entertaining. Here are some pics of dinner. The younger Overby grandkids went and saw Hugo while we went to Breaking Dawn.

The Sailor girls minus Heidi. She met up with us later for the movie. Jody, Sara, mom, me

Stacy(pregnant), Jody and Sara


Mom, me(pregnant), Tracy(pregnant), and Traci (yes, 2 Tracy's in one family...very confusing!)
Sheila, Jen and Marcy. It was great having Marcy there since we don't see her very much since she lives in Idaho.

The 5 younger girls who went and saw Hugo. Taelyr, Sadie, Kaylee, Callie, Breonna

Well, we will have to wait until Part II comes out now. Then we are still going to continue the tradition and go and see the Hunger Games movies which look AMAZING!

Pregnancy thoughts

So I have been thinking about what else I could post since I really don't want to post pictures that have me in them since I have been feeling super huge. So, I figured I would post some thoughts about pregnancy that I have discovered over the past 8 months.

Today I actually called my doctor's office just wondering if it was normal to all of a sudden swell like crazy! I have been swollen, but NOTHING like this! I was at work on Saturday and that was when it all hit really hard. It was like nothing I have seen before! It looked like I had 2 sprained ankles! I wouldn't have been so concerned if it had been a gradual thing, but it came on so sudden. So I called the dr. office to see if this was normal and because of a couple of other factors, they sent me to labor and delivery to get checked out. After a couple hours, all is good. THANK GOODNESS! So, I will just know that sprained looking ankles will just be there for the remaining 5 weeks...lucky me.

Braxton Hicks contractions are a very weird experience as well. They don't hurt me, just SUPER uncomfortable. It took me a while to realize that it really was Braxton Hicks, but now I get them all the time it seems. I suppose it's a good thing since it's getting me ready for labor.

Most women that I talk to get really bad heart burn during pregnancy, not me. I just get acid reflux which is more annoying than anything. I was not warned about this. It is a good thing for omeprazole and tums!

The waddling. Need I say more? People at work make fun of me because I waddle. I am not aware I am doing it, it just happens! I have to admit though, it helps my back so it doesn't hurt as bad.

One thing with this pregnancy that I am grateful for is the fact that I am the most pregnant during the winter. I am hot ALL THE TIME! I have a new found respect for women who are the most pregnant in the summer!

I decided not to take any pregnancy classes because I feel like I know enough about labor. I don't want to know ALL the details, but I feel like I know enough to feel comfortable delivering a baby. Now breastfeeding, that's a little different. That's the one aspect that I feel is a little bit more foreign to me. So, with my best friend Annie by my side, I went to the breastfeeding class last night. I am grateful I did it because it was very educational and I feel more comfortable for what's ahead.

So, there are some of my thoughts on pregnancy that I have experienced over the past 8 months. Even though this last month is going to be rough physically, we are so ready to meet Tucker and have our family grow by 1 more. Let's hope it goes quick and smoothly=)

Updated room...but not all the way complete

So I realize it has been a while since I last posted so I thought I would post some pics of how the room is coming along. It is pretty much done except hanging things on the walls. I thought everything has come out awesome! Thanks to James making the crib and changing table and his mom making all the bedding and my sister giving me the glider that matches perfectly! In this pic you can see the bumpers that my mother in law made and the bed skirt.

She also made cute bumpers for the changing table to match! That was actually James' idea! Good thinking babe!

And to my surprise, she whipped together the diaper holder! I was planning on making it and she was in Manti and happened to have the pattern so she just made it! Total surprise to me! I love it! Way better than how mine would have turned out! And my sister Sara made this awesome rag quilt that matches perfectly!! Good job sis!



So, my bags are packed, the room is pretty much ready, now all we need is Tucker=) Only 5 weeks left and trust me...I am counting! This week my body is REALLY feeling this pregnancy and work is getting a little more rough. But, I know I need to enjoy the quiet while I can, so that's what I am doing. And thanks to James for stepping it up with the household stuff cuz I just don't have the energy or the physically capability to do it! Can I really do this pregnancy thing a few more times? We will see.....
