Still waiting...

So we checked into the hospital at 4 pm yesterday. The plan was to get everything nice and ready to go overnight and start the pitocin around 8 this morning...unfortunately we hit a setback or two. Things are still moving along...just very, very slowly. So we're hoping to be able to start the pitocin around noon. The good news is that I'm contracting every 2-3 minutes and I can barely feel them. The regularity is good, the lack of pain is good...now whether there has been any progression or not is yet to be seen! Wish us luck!

No baby yet...

But we've been up to plenty of other fun stuff to keep ourselves busy!
Nate and his brother-in-law Spencer decided to climb a ridiculously tall mountain a few Saturdays ago. It was over 14,000 feet tall and well-above the tree-line. Pretty manly if you ask me. I'm just glad I had the pregnancy excuse to get out of that hike!



For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, this is Nate's classic "look how cool I am" pose. And I think judging by the amazing view/dropoff behind him he totally deserves it!


We ventured out to the Aurora Reservoir one weekend. The weather was perfect! It was a great day! (And that is either a beached whale or a very pregnant lady who should not be in a swim suit!...you decide.)

Our friend Kelson, from our days in Provo, came for a visit.

The baby's room is about done! My friend Rachel helped me paint the border and I LOVE it! Nate's grandpa made the book shelf years ago...unfortunately most of my children's books are too tall for it and ended up in a basket on the floor instead of on the shelf, but I still think it looks pretty cute!

This is the crib. I want to put something cute with her name or initials on it over the crib...that is once she has a name and initials!

And this is me at 39 weeks...just waiting!

It's almost time...

So as the day for our baby to arrive draws closer, I thought it would be fun to conduct a little poll. If you want to participate, please put your guesses in the comment section. As a bit of background information, her official due date is August 30. I have an induction scheduled for the 31st if she has not arrived by then. At her 34 week ultrasound she weighed in at 6 lbs 5 oz (hence the reason for the induction...the doctor doesn't think I can handle a 9 1/2-10 lb baby, and I tend to agree). So here's the deal, I want to know your prediction for her date of arrival, birth weight, birth length, and any name suggestions you may have, as she still remains nameless. I can't wait to see what you all come up with and of course what the actual results turn out to be!
P.S. The nursery should be finished this week...pictures to follow.
