Jane Eyre + Beto's Bacon Breakfast Burrito= Happy Baby
Saturday night we were able to score lat minute tickets to "Jane Eyre, the musical" here in SLC. Our friend in the ward had the starring role. Now that I look back, I had some back to back contractions during the second half of the play. Baby must have liked it! Well we headed home around 10:30pm, grabbed some AMAZING cheap mexican food at Beto's and wha-la: my water broke under an hour later...(pretty much 10 minutes into eating our food). We called the hospital, went to bed, got an awesome's night's rest and headed to the hospital around 10am Sunday morning. We took some last minute photos seeing as I knew this was my last day being pregnant. Its kind of a weird feeling, knowing that it's really over. a little bittersweet but no big deal.... the BABY WAS COMING!!! YAY"!

the End of Days aka 37.5 weeks
Disregard the frumpiness, it was super hot.We were out surveying the damage in the daylight...
Our neighborhood recently (and still is) under going some flooding. We were out Saturday and Sunday night helping out with bagging sand etc. It was actually kind of fun but I think we may have over done it, we're both feeling a little sick now. but here are some during and after pics of the park and the next street over:

Appointment #3...... and its an interesting one!
So today I had my appointment and for the record, I'm just a day shy of 17 weeks!!! That being said I went in with the impression of an easy smeasy quick in and out appointment. And it was all of that AND more. Let me explain a little but more: I've been anxiously awaiting this appointment for the sole fact that I knew I'd be able to schedule my upcoming ultrasound so the official "countdown" could begin. It was a little different because this time the "midwife/doctor" was being shadowed by a BYU nursing student. The only reason I think this lady was an actual doctor was because she was one of those oldie type/ know everything, which isnt bad but she wasnt as happy go luck as the other midwives who I've met and been super happy with. So either way this Dr brought a different vibe and you could totally tell this was a teaching moment for the BYU girl. I said I was totally ok with it (which i was) and she reviewed everything from my old lab results to my weight gain (none in the last month, although I have been chowing down.) yadda yadda yadda.
Here comes the interesting part. So I lay down so she can feel my stomach and here's our quick little conversation:
"hmm... how far along are you again?"
"almost 17 weeks"
"how certain are you?"
"uh, dead positive"
"any history of twins in the family?"
YIKES!! haha No, Im 90% sure Im not pregnant with twins.
So she pulls out the little sonogram guy and tries to listen for a heartbeat (or two) which she automatically finds ONE. She keeps moving it around trying to find a second one which she DOESN'T and all the while she's explaining the following:
I guess my uterus is just way bigger than its supposed to be. So I know that doesnt mean much to alot of people so here it is in "Emi" terms, typically the top of it is supposed to be somewhere around the middle point from my pelvic bone up to my belly button. Mine was right there under my belly button. Its weird because if i poke myself in the stomach (which I find myself doing alot lately) I can actually feel that my organs have totally been rearranged. So she went on to say that typically the uterus doesnt reach that point until the 20 week mark. The usual reasons for something like this to happen is miscalculation of conception/or a mismeasurment as well. unsual reasons would be twins, in which case they would do an ultrasound. ummm pretty sure thats EXACTLY what she decided to do. She's like (speaking to both me and the BYU student) "ssh, lets just go peek and do a little unofficial ultrasound. Lets just go peek and we'll find out why its so big."
At this point my mind is TOTALLY racing, im freaked out/ excited, bummed that B isnt with me to see this, wondering if this is actually happening...
IT WAS SO COOL!!! We went to another room and dimmed the lights and voila! there he/she was! it was so cool to see it, it was a side profile really similar to the ones you see pictures of except I couldnt recognize any limbs. Anyways, she was pretty sure there was only one baby in there but we have another ultrasound scheduled for the 29th, its a high possibility that they will be moving up our due date by then as well. So the countdown is officially on! 2 weeks and we'll know if its a boy or a girl!!! I am soooo excited I cannot even tell you!!!
14 days to go!!

Ode to Brandon.....
so recently we celebrated my dear hubby's 27th birthday... Happy Belated Shoutout Sugar!! so this post is in honor of that very handsome man:
he has been very diligently working on his metal sculptures/art and has been a very busy boy. Here are his latest creations that I would like to brag about.
theyre bookends that he made out of steel and driftwood (from our trip to Oregon the beginning of this year) the detail on them is quite amazing and overall, im pretty impressed. 
the grain on the driftwood actually wasn't stained, he used an oxysetaline torch to burn and raise the grain... pretty amazing, pretty creative.
In other B news, his much larger piece was accepted into the Springville Art Museum and it has been there on display for the last month. So of course we had to take a trip to the SMOA to see it proudly displayed......
Liz and I had already dont a lap around the exhibit and has scoped out B's art in advance. This is his first time walking into the room, if you look closely you can see a side view of his hanging on the right hand side almost straight infront of him... He hadn't noticed it yet in the picture above..
As far as baby goes, he totally surprised me last night by doing probably the funniest but super sentimental/sweet thing ever. So he asked me to bring him home some headphones, not earbuds but the oldschool pancake headphones that were so major in the late 90's, early 00's... He quickly disassembled them as started sewing them into this cloth strip that was about 9 inches long and 1 inch wide. I seriously had no clie what he was doing. so he finishes up and askes me to guess what I think it is.... im still thinking headphones go by the ears, so maybe an eye mask with built in earphones?? nope, waaaay wrong. So he brought me into the living room to demonstrate by plugging in my ipod and i was already sitting down. He laughed at me again and said I had to be laying down for this.... He had made a little sling/wrap that drapes over my tummy so the baby can hear music better! I was SOOOO surprised! I was so happy and touched by his creativness and thought he had put into it. His only restriction? No lady gaga allowed for the baby which also made me bust out laughing again. He's now currently devising a plan so I can wear it during the day as I move at work when the baby will sleep the most.. What a funny man.
Thats my funny little baby story for the day, 1 month to go till we find out if its a girl or boy!! I can't wait..

Galactic Domination, the Golden year...
Happy Belated Birthday Liz! I have been really bad with posting and with pictures... Liz has spent the last few weekends with us and in an attempt to not be so boring for her, we busted out with Star Wars Risk. 
Lets just say that B ALWAYS kick my butt and i was maybe a little sick of it so Liz and I made a pact to just take him down and then she could kill my hutts off. (Brandon was the Empire, Liz the rebel alliance and I was the Hutts as in Jabba the Hutt). Needless to say, Liz wiped the galaxy clean and Brandon was not a happy camper with our "strategy". Oops.... :( here are some pics from that silly fun and maybe not so fair night:
Elizabeth's Rebels are the yellow and Orange Men... like I said she cleared the board.
Yes that is a Hutt/booger shoved up my nose and I am wearing 3D glasses that we found 5 minutes before... random? YES.
