The waiting game.... 39 weeks and 2 days

5 more to go till my due date.

 It's 4:30 am Sunday morning and I can't sleep I am so anxious waiting for our little guy to come.

I should've known he'd come in his own time by knowing who his parents are. I can't be told what to do

and as my bro in law, Bryan told us, it took Brett how long to commit to marry me?! ha ha So pretty

much we're screwed... we're having a kid who thinks he's in charge. Silly boy... Which obviously I'm not cause if I was he'd be in my arms right now instead of in my belly!  :) We got our baby monitor today thanks to my sister in laws and now all we need is a baby to monitor. I can't wait to see Everett for the first time! I've felt him for the past how many months?!(lost track... everyone's right the last couple weeks really do drag) And to actually hold him in my arms and see what he looks like or more importantly who he looks like. Brett's going to be an amazing dad and I am so excited for him to see him for the first time too! Well Everett will be worth the wait... right!?

FO SHO!

 These are my fo sho hands... I think? For some reason when I'm in a pic my hands

migrate up to my face some how with some lame sign.... ha ha oh well we all have

our quirks... mine are just more apparent ;)

 It was so fun to have Celinda and her family here for Thanksgiving! By the way did I mention

we went and found out she's also having a little boy! Yay a cousin Ev can play with! And they'll only by 5 months apart... unless Ev decides to chill in there longer.... then they'll be closer! (looking at the positive ;))

Here is a pic of one of my darling nieces, Sadie lynn, she is a hooligan and we adore her!

It was her 4th birthday today an this is the princess outfit she got and HAD to wear. Cute kid!

 The Christmas Present Expo... at least I think thats what it was called that we went to? :)

It was so fun! My family has a little tradition of going every year.

I am 37 weeks here and wishing walking all over the Expo will help the kid along...

it didn't. ha ha

 Kami (my wonderbar sister in law) took these 37 week side pics for me.

 look how he sticks out!!! I think I am done with being preg right about here...

The Lil Monster Shower!

(I have a feeling with how much he moves in there he just

might be a lil monster! :))

 Here are some pictures from the shower Pat through me.

Kami did the darling decor and Pat made the fun monster

cupcakes. It was great! Thanks you guys!

 Brett's trying to make me smaller by covering up the bump...

ha ha not workin! (good looookin man!) just sayin...

 The diaper motorcycle my sweet sister, Emily made.

 To go along with lil monster Kams made me a darling monster blanket

for lil Ev. It even has his name in the bottom corner!

 SO LUCKY to have such wonderfully talented people around me!

My mom made the quilt above and Pat made the darling

blanket below. I can't wait to cuddle him in them!

 Brett's taking an off gaurd pic

 This was after church this past Sunday I am just over 38 weeks.

Yes I feel huge and I am having a hard time finding clothes to

where for church. That is a sheer sign he needs to come! :)

Last shot... obviously taking it myself. Trying to show off how he has grown!

Still 38 weeks :) Maybe if I'm lucky I won't be taking a 39 weeker!

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I love halloween!!!Oct. 27th 2012

And I am a pregnant cheer leader... I tried on a lot of costumes and things that would normally be HUGE on me I couldn't even get on. Ha ha I know I'm preg but it some how didn't comfort me when in the dressing room. ha ha So I chose something I fit! :) (and owned already)

                                                  But oh well it'll be fun to look back on, right? ;)

So I got this cute idea from a friend of mine who is actually due a few weeks before me. She posted a bunch of things about her pregnancy she wants to remember. And since I forget so easily I thought what a good idea! So here it goes:

Tid bits about our Lil Ev's Pregnancy:

- I first felt him probably around 19 wks (July 5th) I have to agree with my friend Noell when she said it didn't really feel like butterflies. To me it felt like a little fish inside me. Weird comparison I know, but you know its what I thought of when I felt him swimmin around in there. ;)
- I would say Brett felt him around 23 weeks? We were laying in bed and Brett had his hand pushing into my belly and felt something move and he looks up and me and says... "was that you?!" all shocked. I laughed and said ya I'm super talented. ;) Everett (what we are naming our lil guy) likes to tease his dad though cause he'll be moving all over and Brett will try and feel him and he seriously stops moving. It makes me laugh cause he sounds like his daddy.
- We found out we were having a boy June 15th. I was shocked! I thought it was a girl for sure. Brett was right, he had guessed it was a boy. The problem with that is we had a girl name picked out not a boy... Sydney Rae Hall. Cute huh! But we figured it out.. after a few disagreements;) Everett ______ Hall. Still figuring out the middle name.
- Ooo my cravings: When we first found out all I wanted to eat was watermelon, cantelope, popsicles, icecream, snocones and pretzels from the mall. Yum! Actually that all still sounds good. The difference is now its summer time and it was March and they didn't have a lot of those things in season yet. ha ha Now I would have to add Texas Roahouse to that list.
- Ewwwe things that sound nasty: Chicken ( I will eat it just not my fav), BBQ, and mexican food. (not much left after I take those things out of my diet ha ha)
- I was really sick the first four months. Let's just say I become good friends with the porcelain thrown... kept ours super clean at that time, makes looking down at it a little better. ;) But traded throwing up for heart burn... not sure which is better. I swear I can look at food and get heart burn. Forget sleeping, but hey at least I will be ready to get up with Ev, eh? And I hope it's true what they say if you have heart burn baby should have a head of hair... cross your fingers!
- I've gotten varicose veins which aren't the best but I've seen worse. Plus this kid has taken away my zits. Super awesome!
- My wonderful mom is making curtains, a quilt and a few other things for this lil guys nursury. We are leaving the clouds we painted a few years ago and I added a sky to the ceiling. We are sooooo excited to put him in that room! 11 weeks left... hopefully a tid bit sooner :0
- Brett's predicting Nov. 19th 20th, or 21st... and me I have no clue when he'll come! I hope a little bit sooner than Nov. 30th (my due date)  Some days it feels like this pregnancy is flying other days it feels like the day we meet him will never come. But all in all we are just excited for him and I can't wait to see what he looks like!!! I hope he looks like his daddy...
