Come on baby, we want to meet you!!!

Well it's getting to the day I never thought would come!! August 21st is tomorrow and it doesn't look like my little Kimber wants to come yet! We are getting so anxious I dont think Larry or I will make it much longer, so she better hurry up! :P I went to the doctor last friday and still no change, she's in position but I'm 50% effaced and not dilated AT ALL!! How discouraging! Doctor scheduled my induction just in case she doesn't come on her own by the night of the 28th at midnight (so I guess technically the 29th) so I guess at least I know she'll be here sometime around then for sure! haha
Anyways not a whole lot is new besides moving and baby stuff. My parents bought a house in Cedar City and it's lovely but the moving process sure takes a long time!! Nana and Papa are here from Virginia for the little stinkers arrival. We got her crib and stuff set up and I think everything else is ready! :)

                   This picture was during set up so it's not totally done in this pic but you get the point. lol

Also, in the moving process, my mom found a sweatshirt that she got when she was pregnant with me.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!! Getting WAY excited!!

Looking forward to: Counting down the days till we meet her! 

One Year Anniversary... No big deal ;P

Last week I posted a random post and completely forgot to mention something very important!!!

Our One Year Anniversary!! hahaha How could I forget right?! Ok so last Monday May 7th was our one year wedding anniversary, I cannot believe how fast it's gone! 

So we didn't do anything too exciting... we just chilled all day and then Larry made a VERY gourmet meal of grilled Chili Dogs! But I must say it was my fault cause it was the only thing that sounded good to me at the time.  lol (weird pregnancy!)

I pulled the top of our cake out of freezer on Sunday morning and it was hilarious cause when I opened it up I noticed that there were REAL wilted daisies frozen to the top of the cake. hahaha When my mom and dad were cleaning up after the wedding, they were wrapping the cake and completely forgot to take the flowers off the top cause they were so busy! :P Anyways the cake ended up tasting pretty good surprisingly for a old frozen cake. haha

All I have to say is that I had no idea I could love Larr more than I did when we first got married but as the days go by, I learn more about him and I love him even more! :) 

Happy Anniversary Babe! Many more to come!!!

Cauliflower and a little bit of rambling...

Ok so I'm 25 weeks and 3 days now! I can't believe that it's going so quick... well I'm sure it will until I get close and really anxious! lol Anyways not a whole lot has happened this week with the babe, just feeling A LOT of movement and getting more and more uncomfortable as the days go by! 
In other news, my cat Lily got really sick yesterday. She was running around being her normal ol' self all morning then all the sudden became really lethargic. She looks a little better today, won't eat but will drink water, so thats good. But we shall see.. hopefully she just has a little bug and will get over it soon.

Will Baby Crose be a BOY or GIRL???

I'm now 17 weeks! Larry bought me the coolest thing the other day, Sonoline B Fetal Doppler! Its totally cool and its easy to find and hear the heartbeat. Makes me a little more relieved about how things are cooking in there! :)

Ok so on the 27th we are going in for our 3D ultrasound to find out what our little munchkin is! I thought it'd be fun to do the Old Wives Tales to see how accurate they are. Here are the results:

Category	Boy=                    Girl=	For me?!
Heart Rate	<140bpm             >140bpm	145 = Girl
Cravings	Salty/sour               Sweet	Salty/Sour= Boy
Pee & baking soda	Fizzy                     No fizz	No fizz= Girl
Acne	No acne          Stealing beauty	Acne= Girl
String & Needle	Back&fourth         Circle	Back & fourth= Boy
Morning Sickness	Mild                      Horrible	Mild = Boy
Chinese Calendar	Age and month of conception determines	Predicted Girl
Bump Position	Low                          high	Carrying Low =Boy
Old Wives Question Test		55% BOY 45% Girl Total= 4 Girl 5 Boy

Ok so if the wives tales calculations are correct it looks like we'll be seeing BLUE! We shall see on the 27th!! :) I asked my friends on Facebook which they thought and so far it's pretty even... Keep guessing cause I'm keeping a tally just for fun! We have a 50/50 shot. lol
