Back in Arizona
The first few days back in Arizona after being gone for an entire 2 months were pretty exciting! It was great to be back and see all of our friends. One of the first things we got to do was have a 3D ultrasound. This was seriously cool.
Here's a picture from the ultrasound. You'll see that his foot is up against his head! I have no idea how that's comfortable.

Moving in to our new rental house
After much anticipation, we finally got the keys to move in to our new house! This was a big deal because we found the house online over the summer and had our friends go and look at it for us. So, the day we got the keys was also the first time seeing inside. This is the second time we've had to move in sight un-seen, and both times have worked out pretty well!

My parents came down from Las Vegas to help us move in and they were so helpful! We got everything moved out of our old apartment and in to the house in record time.
Checking out the new Phoenix Temple with my parents. So gorgeous!

Before and After House pictures
I thought it would be fun to include some pictures of the house! The before pictures were taken by my friend Amy who looked at the house for us while we were in Washington. (Thanks again Amy!)
Luckily, the landlords repainted the entire house before we moved in, so you'll see a big difference.

Backyard
The lake in the back yard is one of my favorite parts about this house! Here are some before and after pictures of the backyard where we planted grass! If only I could find the random guy in the Lowe's parking lot who told us to take all of the grass seed/supplies back and show him that we did it!

I can't wait to play with the baby outside in our little yard!
Baby Boy's Nursery
Everything has finally started to come together! Next month we'll be getting the crib. And, as soon as the baby is born I'm allowed to put up his name on the fabric squares and above the dresser! (I promised Brad I would wait so the name is a surprise!)
 |
| I made the curtains, quilt, pillows, fabric squares, banner and boppy cover! |
 |
| Just imagine white letters with blue ribbon above the dresser with the baby's name! I made the changing pad cover and recovered an old Good Will lamp with matching fabric! |
 |
| Trying out the rocking chair! |

 |
| So happy with how his baby quilt turned out! |

A few thoughts on my pregnancy:
1. I still have an innie belly button and this is something I am very proud of.
2. I look forward to walking through the freezer sections of grocery stores because I'm always hot.
3. I can no longer fit my wedding ring on my finger which makes me a little self conscious when I'm out and Brad's not with me. (Thanks a lot old lady at the Costco food court who ring checked me and stared me down as I sat there, eating my huge piece of pepperoni pizza by myself at 34 weeks pregnant.)
4. We CAN NOT wait for this baby to get here!!!
