8 Weeks To Go

I am 32 weeks now! Can you believe it? There is only 8 more weeks until Ruby will be here. We are so excited. We now have our registries done and we're starting to paint her room on Saturday. I am starting to feel a little bit anxious and unprepared because I don't know what to expect and there is so much to do, but at the same time I am SOOOOO excited!!!
I went to the doctor's again this past Friday. I gained only 1 pound this time, so I have now gained 21 pounds all together. Last time I was measuring 1/2 a centimeter big, but this time I measured 1/2 a centimeter small. Ruby's heartrate was a little bit accelerated so Dr. Merrill listened for a few extra minutes to make sure that it went back down. Eventually it did and Dr. Merrill said that it was a pretty normal thing for babies to do. Everything looks good for me and Ruby looks to be healthy and right on track.

Latest news!!!

So tonight we went to our first class. We signed up for a 3rd trimester informational class. There was no way that I could get Will to take a Lamaze class or a birthing class. It took me weeks to talk Will into even considering this class and then I had to have his parents help to convince him that he needed to go!
It started tonight and we go for the next 5 Mondays. It was a great class and we were both enjoying what we were learning, until they showed the video of a birth. I was trying so hard not to laugh at the expression on my husband's face while at the same time hoping that I can get him to go back with me next week. I must say that the video was not my favorite. I really liked the teacher and Will really liked her too, so I think that we'll be okay with getting him back there again. I highly recommend taking it. It was awesome and really helpful!

This is also a picture that was taken on Sunday. I am 31 weeks on Wednesday, so I was 30 1/2 weeks when it was taken. I am feeling great and I see my doctor again on Friday!

Easter 2009

We had a great Easter this year. We went to church and then to see family. I had sharing time for Primary and it went really well. The best part is knowing that I don't have to do it again for another month!!! Then we went to Grandpa and Grandma Hensley's for the annual Easter egg hunt. My Grandpa hides all of the eggs in their yard and the 3 surrounding yards. He also writes how much each egg is worth. When the hunt is all over you get to go and show him your eggs and collect your money! We always looked forward to this when we were younger.
Before they let us go wild on our hunt, my Grandma wanted a picture of all of her kids with their children. She also wanted a picture of all of her Grandchildren and great grandchildren. We barely even fit in the picture!Here's me and all of my siblings with my parents!
Here's all of the grandchildren and great grandchildren!

Well now that I am married and older, we just get to help the younger kids. I helped Brooklyn this year and we did great. We found one of the $1.00 eggs. My Grandpa only puts out a few of those. When Brooklyn was done she went and cashed out and she had made a little over $2. Now that is a ton of money, especially when you're six! Nate found two $1 eggs and Brianna found one also. They were all pretty excited!

After the egg hunt we headed up to Will's family in Farmington. We had hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner and they were DELICIOUS! The kids had to leave a few minutes after we got there so I didn't get any pictures of them going on their treasure hunt. Their treasure was the movie, The Tale of Desperaux (I think). It was a great Easter and I hope everyone else had a great one too!
