2 posts in one day, I'm on a roll!

Last Friday we had our tour of the hospital and let me just say I LOVE where we are going to deliver!! It is such a nice place! My favorite part of the whole thing is a couch in the rooms that pull out into a bed for Zac, the babie's first bath is done in the room right in front of you! (I don't know if they do that everywhere else but I'm excited), you don't have to share a room, AND their staff/security is amazing. They know everyone who is coming and going. I knew the hospital would be great, but going on that 20 minute tour really reassured me that everything will go smoothly (cross your fingers) and that we will be helped throughout our whole experience. I'm still really nervous about the huge needle used for the epidural but I'll probably be welcoming it when the time comes! I'm 33 weeks and 3 days today. With a month and a half left some people tell me it goes by slow, but I know it will be here in no time! Here are some pictures of our baby kicking my belly. I think she's ready to come out already!

Her poking a little bit

Is that an arm or a foot???

And that is why the inside of my stomach is so tender on that spot!

Scofield

A few weekends ago we were able to get our trailor ready and take it to Scofield for the season! Yay! With our spot finally leveled out the way we need it, the trailor sits perfectly! I absolutely love it! It is so nice to be able to get away from everything for a day or two. It's been quite different this year with Jake being home and always having a bunch of friends down there! Usually it's the married couples who just bum around in peace. I feel old when I see the non-stop energy they have...but I'll blame it on the pregnancy! Here are some pictures of us getting the Prowler into position.

TaDa!!


We also went down Memorial Day weekend where Zac and I forgot the keys to the trailor...oopsy. Luckily we were able to break into a window that hadn't been locked and they hoisted Brant up and through the window! So the whole weekend we were very careful to make sure and keep the door open while eveyone was out of the trailor. On Sunday a handful of the boys had the opportunity to speak in sacrament at the Scofield branch. They all did such a good job! Gordy opened and introduced everyone. Then Zac, Jake, Chase, and Trevor all spoke on the first discussion. It was a lot of fun to hear them speak! I even shed a few tears they did so well. Then during church we had discovered that someone (Linds) shut the door behind them locking us all out again! We were all hoping that the window wasn't shut all the way and luckily it wasn't! So Brant once more climbed through the window and we were able to get in! There's never a dull moment down in Scofield!

30 weeks along...9.5 and counting

Well we had a doctor's appointment last week and he said everything is going great! I have been getting crampy every now and then which he said is normal. He said I'll be feeling the braxton hicks contractions more and more. But wow are those cramps a reminder of how close we are getting! My uterus is the size it should be and he also checked her position. The last time he checked she was breech but luckily she has turned to the correct position! Her head is using my bladder as a pillow and her back is usually to my right. I figured that is probably the reason it is more comfortable for me to sleep on my right side. So that leaves her arms and legs to my left where she can kick and punch all day! No wonder my left side is tender! I get tired a lot quicker than I usually do and have to use the restroom even more than before. A couple of weeks ago I was able to work 7 hours and feel alright by the end of the shift, but now after 4 hours of working I'm ready to call it quits! We'll see how long I can last. It's amazing how quickly my body changes with her growth! Here is a picture of my big belly at the pool for everyone to enjoy!

Happy Birthday to my hubby!

For Zac's 24th birthday on Saturday him, Brant, Jake, Scotty, Robbie, and Chase all went to Scofield for the morning and afternoon. Sherry and Gordy had gone down the day before and sadly the Ford got stuck in the mud...so the Big Red Dodge had to come pull Gordo out! :) It sounded like they had an amazing time sliding all over the place in the mud and eating a great lunch that Sherry prepared I'm sure! When they finally got home at 4:30 Zac showered and we met up with Brant and Lindsay to see the new XMen show. It was really good and now I have to watch the other ones because I don't remember them! After the movie we made our way to Rock Creek Pizza where Kelli, Shay and Brendon met us! We ended the night by going to the Campbell's for some cupcakes that I made and we sang happy birthday!

Here are a few things to know about the love of my life:

He is a major sports fanatic. He always wears a jersey every chance he gets, and probably has more of them than I do clothing. He loves and will always will love the Miami Dolphins, for life. Zac plays in a few leagues and is so competitive. I love to watch him play!

style='border:

He knows how to make me laugh even when I'm mad at him. He pulls the funniest faces and is really unpredictable. He says and does some of the most random things and I can't help but laugh with him. He is such a geek and I love him SO much!



Zac is one who sets his mind to something and doesn't want anyone to tell him how to do it (well except from maybe Grandpa Campbell and the soon to be Grandpa Gordo). He loves to do outdoorsy things and work with the fourwheelers. He is such a great help and you can always count on him to be there for you!



He loves washing his truck. He takes care of that thing more than our other two cars. He loves pulling our trailor and his parents fourwheelers. If he could, and sometimes he does, he would be down in Scofield with the fourwheelers every weekend.



He also loves to hunt. He has so many hobbies I can't keep up with him. There is no way I would ever wake up at 4 in the morning to hike a mountain and sit there for a couple hours for the deer to come out. Now that is dedication.



Last but not least, he is such a hard worker. Even on vacation he takes phone calls and manages to have someone put in an order. He does so much for our little family and he is such a great provider.



I just want to say Happy Birthday to Zac and remind him that I have the best husband in the world. He makes me so incredibly happy and I always have so much fun with him. He is my best friend. I don't know how I got so lucky to find a guy like him because he is everything I have ever wanted in a husband and much more. I can't believe we are starting a family in a short 3 months he is going to be such a fun and loving dad! I know we will be able to do anything and get through anything in our lives because of his strength! I'm so grateful that we were able to be married and sealed to eachother in the temple for all time and eternity! I couldn't have asked for a better person to share my life with.


I love you babe!
Happy Birthday!
