CONGRATULATIONS MY SWEET HUSBAND!!!

At approximately 7:30 pm last night, Steve finished his last final EVER!  If he passes the class, which I'm confident that he will, he never have to take another class again!  Unless of course he chooses to get his Master's degree (heaven help me if he does).  The timing could not be better!  I am 3 weeks away from my due date and now I have my husband's attention and time back!  We can prepare for our son to enter the world without the distraction of school.

I'm so happy for Steve!  He has been working full time and going to school, not to mention his church callings!  I cannot express how unbelievably proud of him I am.  He works so hard and hardly ever complains and still makes time for me.  He helps out around the house and picks up the slack while I've been VERY pregnant.  I'm so impressed by his tenacity and strength to get through this ever distracting time!  

Way to go Steve!  I love you more than you could ever imagine and I'm soooo proud of you!

I would also like to publicly thank Steve's late grandfather Edward (Ted) for putting Steve through school up until he passed away.  And a HUGE thank you to Steve's parents for continuing the support after his passing.  We wouldn't be in the position we are in now if we had those hefty student loans looming over us.  So thank you Grant and Verla!  You are going to be the best Nana and Papa our little Gavin Edward could dream up!   We love you!

Funny Story

So the other day, Robyn and I were at Burlington Coat Factory getting some necessary baby items (thanks again for all your help Robyn!!) and as we walked in, I saw a very familiar face.  It was a guy in his mid twenties and he was looking back at me and I thought, "I think I went to high school with that kid..."  So I smiled and said hello and he nodded at me and smiled back.  What was his name???  I knew that I recognized his face and I just couldn't put my finger on it.  I walked away to find Robyn and then it hit me!  I didn't know him from high school!!!  I knew him TV!  It was Gev from "So You Think You Can Dance"!  I just casually said hello to him, like I was so cool, and he was staring at me the same way everyone stares at me these days...because  I look like this:  

And I'm a 3 weeks bigger than that now,  so he had every right to stare!  I was just kicking myself that I didn't go over to him to have a corny picture taken to document my pseudo-celebrity sighting!  Would have been awesome, but I didn't want to run after him in my condition.  But I did call my 2 friends that I know loved SYTYCD as much as me.  Thanks for tolerating me Keri and Andrea!  Ha ha!  Well, Gev, should we meet again, I shall throw my dignity to the wind and ask for a picture...or perhaps I will ask you what the heck you think you are staring at...and to take a picture...preferably with you in said picture.  Who am I kidding, Gev, you are so cool. 

Even Steve thought he was a little bit dreamy.  Heh.  Steve is cute.

The Belly...In All Its Glory!

Well, here she is folks! The famed Belly! I won't lie, I absolutely love being pregnant. If you could spy on me at home alone or with Steve there, you would find me with my belly exposed and me pushing on the lil bug to get him to move around for me. Steve talks to him and we both marvel at the way he flops around causing my entire mound of belly to contort in odd positions. There are times that I swear he's trying to get out of one of the stretch marks he's causing under my belly button. I yell at him, "Wrong way, buddy!! Head south to make a break for it!" Ha! I can't wait until he's here...life will never be the same!

My friend Robyn, on the eve of the birth of her 2nd son, did a little photo shoot for Steve and I. I can't wait to get the ones that she took back, but here a few that she took with our digital camera. She is so talented! I love you Robyn!! Thanks for the photo session! We took some pretty hilarious Napoleon Dynamite-esque pictures of the two of us and we had a pretty fun time with that. Maybe I will post one or two of them...they are pretty embarrassing though!

Well, I will post more later when I figure out how to use the new picture thing on my computer...confounded newfangled technology...it'll be the death of this blog I tell ya.
