Baby Update

So I thought I would give a little update on the status of Bryce Jr. We are now under two weeks until the due date, which means we are just waiting... He could come anytime I guess, but we are predicting that he will take his time and probably won't come until after October 8th. I am guessing he will come right during the BYU vs. New Mexico game because it would probably be the most incovenient time...for Bryce anyway. =)

We haven't gotten everything settled in his little room yet but we are getting close. We do have a car seat so we can bring him home from the hospital and a cradle (thanks to my sister Jessica) so he has a place to sleep. We figured those were the most important things.

Other than just waiting for the baby not much else has been happening. Bryce's school is keeping him busy and I am trying to stay busy. We were able to go to the temple yesterday with Bryce's cousin Nicole who is getting married in 2 weeks! It was so nice and we were glad we could go.

I decided to make a little collage of my progression through pregnancy. It really is amazing how large your tummy can get. I thought I was getting pretty big at the 15 weeks picture!! Yeah, I know...look at me now.

And hopefully we will have some exciting news to share in the near future!

Back in Provo!

We are finally back in Provo! Actually, we've been back a few weeks now, but...you know. The drive from Philadelphia was very long but wasn't as bad as I thought. We left and split the trip up into 3 days of driving so that we could get back in time for the first BYU home game! Bryce went to the game and I am sure loved every minute of it. I decided to just go shopping and get a pedicure (since painting them myself is getting a little difficult these days) with my sister Chelsea.

Bryce is starting his third week of school now and is having a pretty good semester so far. He is taking a basketball and golf class which gives him a break between his classes and homework. And we are finally getting settled into our apartment. The painting wasn't done when we got here so our landlord said she would pay us if we just did it ourselves. So we decided to do a little painting since we could probably do a better job and get it done for sure before the baby comes. We finished it last week, all thanks to my mom. She was here for a week helping my brother and his wife with their new twins and she helped us A LOT with the painting. We are really glad it's over too. Painting isn't as fun as it might seem.

Besides getting settled in our apartment and starting school we have had a few baby showers since we got back. My friends from Ponca City (Katie, Crystal, and Kyla) threw one for me last Saturday and then I had another one that Bryce's mom, stepmom, and sisters did this past Saturday. They were both so nice and I think we're just about ready for the baby to come! I didn't take any pictures though, which I am a little upset about...I'm not even sure where our camera is right now! But thanks to everyone to helped and who came.

Since we haven't taken any pictures recently, I figured I'd add a few from our trip to New York City that I never posted.




Trying to take a picture with the Statue of Liberty. There were sooo many people, it was pretty difficult to get a good pic. That's why Bryce was making a funny face...he was getting a little upset.

Times Square!


In Brooklyn with the New York skyline in the background. It was beautiful at night!


I saw this homeless man and thought he was so cute, so I took a picture of him! just kidding, this is Bryce. It was a long day of walking so I guess he was cooling his feet off or something. This was while we waited in line for like an hour to get pizza at some famous place...I can't remember the name though.

So there are a few highlights from our trip to New York a while ago. It was a long day, I don't think my feet have ever hurt as bad as they did that night, but it was a lot of fun.

So there is an update on us. Only about 3 weeks left until the baby is supposed to be here! And we still haven't decided on a name...
