The Final Countdown

1 month from today is my due date! If only I really knew the exact time he was coming... but I know it's coming fast at any rate!

Things I'm Loving About Being Pregnant:
-People are so nice! I get so many more smiles from random strangers, and they all want to open the door for you and do other nice things
-The way I can shamefully abuse the "craving" excuse
-The conversations with kids about it. One of my favorites was this week when I told another 4th grade class I was teaching for science that I was having a baby. The next day, one of the girls (not the brightest one of the bunch :) ) asked, "So, have you had your baby yet?" Another was when my mom came to meet my class and one of my girls asked me, "Have you told your mom you're pregnant yet?"

Things I'm Not Enjoying So Much:
-Lack of good sleep
-Going to the bathroom every 5 minutes
-The increased laundry I've had to do since my belly is now a magnet for almost anything!
It's all a part of the journey though and I can't wait for the final product!

Halloween!

So I'm pretty much a cheeseball when it comes to getting excited about holidays, I think even more so now that I'm pregnant. Needless to say, Josh and I had a lot of fun this Halloween!
Our pumpkins we carved last week- mine turned out a little crooked but Josh's looks good

This was actually for crazy hair day the day before, Josh insisted on doing my hair Princess Leia syle.

Halloween night we drove down to Manti to see Josh's family. They shut down Main Street and have a huge trunk or treat for like 6 blocks for all the little kids. Josh took the picture because he was the only one not wearing a costume. There I am in all my pumpkin glory, the picture of just me was too hideous to post, but hopefully you can still get a good laugh out of this one! I was laughing at school because during an assembly we were singing songs about the "Great Pumpkin", and I saw a couple of 2nd graders turn around and point at me and say in all seriousness, "Look, the great pumpkin is right over there!"

These are all of Shane's future playmates and partners in crime.

After trunk or treating we went to see Josh's sister Hannah dance and went to the "Tunnel of Terror." Thankfully, it did not cause me to go into labor!

Just 6 more weeks! We're getting pretty excited to meet our little guy!
