thoughts before the baby

My Mom sent me pictures of the beautiful quilt she made for our baby. I cannot wait to wrap him up in it and kiss his tiny face.

Today I had one of my last doctor appointments and the midwife that saw me was cold and quick. I wish that I was delivering in Utah because Dr. Jones is so incredibly nice.

We rented our house and signed a lease with our tenant this last weekend, which is so nice to have done right before the baby comes. But you know what was sad for me? Tonight after I put the kids to bed I did an official change of address. And that means that we are moving to california after the summer. I am really sad to leave all that I love about Lehi behind. I will really miss our wonderful ward and friends and the sweet set up we have out there living 4 houses down from Brandon and Hill. Maybe someday we will move back?

This week my goal is to kiss Grace and Neal as much as possible. I know that they dont really understand how things will change when the baby comes and that i will not be able to run to their every need and want. So this week I am wrestling with Neal on the ground, catching earwigs in the grass to put in glass jars, and playing barbies with Grace. Oh and last night I even held Neal on the couch at 2:53 am and just enjoyed watching him drink his bottle with his eyes closed while he rubbed his monkey against his cheek.

My ongoing list is actually getting smaller! I need to buy some big pillows this week so that I can nurse in bed all trough the night. I want to make and freeze a bunch of blueberry muffins so that the kids can eat those for breakfast while I am busy with baby.

We still are not sure on a name. Any suggestions are welcome!

I know, it is really so sad for me to think about not coming back to Utah permanently. I know that we will be back in Sept for a few days.

Josh has big plans for work in Ca so I am just being that sweet supportive little wife that I should be. It will be hard, but I will be fine.

California wow! you will have to give us more details. Are you going to be living in the house you fixed up? You talked about delivering with a midwife... are you going to a birthing center?


Hopefully we will see you at the reunion are you going? Can't wait to see pictures of that cute baby boy!
