Fire alarms and 40 Plus weeks Preggo

So I was taking a shower yesterday. And I was really enjoying the hot water on my cold skin. I love hot showers when your cold! They are a favorite for me. So in the middle of my shower the fire alarm goes off. Now Bryan was at work and I didn't know what to do. Jasper came running into the bathroom crying and i turned off the water and jumped out stark naked and started running around the house like a chicken with its head chopped off. I couldn't reach any of the fire alarms upstairs and so I ran downstairs with my big pregnant belly abounding and grabbed a chair and was able to reach the fire alarm in the living room. My panicked mind flashed to an episode of FRIENDS when Pheobe's fire alarm went off and a fire fighter told her to press the reset button in order to make the noise stop. Well people I could not find the reset button. It was so frustrating! All the while Jasper is by me crying begging me to make it stop, Izzy is just sitting on the couch observing all this like we are crazy and I'm naked and hoping none of my neighbors hear the fire alarms and come to see if we are ok. So I broke down and called Bryan at work. Although he had no idea what was going on because it was too loud in the house for him to hear me. Finally after what seemed like forever they stopped. Now why did they go off you might ask; because of the steam from my hot shower. I had no idea that could happen and felt rather foolish later. Good shower gone bad baby!

So I included this picture because I feel as though my brother Tyler really captured something when he wanted to take a picture of me at nine months. He took it just last week and we both just started laughing when we saw it. No need for him to take anymore pictures. He captured me in my ninth month of glory. Thanks Ty!

A Little Blue For You

I am just a little down. I know that to be a true statement as every time I try to get up and do anything I succeed for about an hour or so and then make my way back to the comfort of my bed. To lie there and what? Sleep, day dream, pray. I am so done with being pregnant. I have never been so uncomfortable and I just want to hold my baby girl in my arms. I am past due. And do to certain things within my body it looks like I will not be meeting her for about another week. Which I know is not that far away, but to me it seems forever and a day away. I was complaining to a family member about this. How I'm uncomfortable and want to have her. Instead of words of comfort I get this, "Now you be careful Katie. You don't want that baby coming out thinking that you don't love her." The audacity! I could not believe that someone would say this. And it wasn't a man either who has never experienced childbirth. It was a woman who has children of her own. Talk about shock, anger and hurt feelings. Remember on Bambi when I believe it was Thumper said, "My mother told me if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Anywho, I can't wait to hold my girl and start experiencing this new wonderful creature with Bryan, Izzy and Jasper. I thought that I might actually have her yesterday because my contractions were seven minutes apart, but the hospital wouldn't admit me until they are two minutes apart. So off I went back home. Which is probably best to suffer the contractions at home instead of in a hospital bed. But I am ready! Mark my words I am ready. Hope to see you soon baby girl!

Thanksgiving Deserves a Pumpkin

So now that Halloween has come and gone and still no baby to eww and aww over, I decided to take down my Halloween decorations and put up my Thanksgiving decorations. There's just one problem, I don't really have any Thanksgiving decorations. Well except for a really cute wooden turkey decoration I bought on sale last year at Pier One after the holiday had ended. So I kept out all of my pumpkins, because they are Fall decor, not just Halloween decor I so realized. Well trying to stay busy and not bore myself to death waiting on a little girl, I decided to make a pumpkin out of two sided scrap booking paper after seeing a demonstration on Good Things Utah. And yes during the commercial breaks on Rachael Ray, which I now have time to watch and no longer record, I turn over to Good Things Utah. I admit it! You may now make fun! Well here is how it turned out:

Baby Girl Nursery Part Duex

So this is our decorated nursery! This is the babies crib with a more retro print for the bedding and curtains. And the cute "Princess" banner above was made by my Aunt Sue for a baby shower and I had to have it for her nursery.

Comfy chair for rocking and I love the curtains!

So the flower and ladybug above the beautiful changing table my dad made, our the cutest lights from Ikea. They were super affordable and they have a huge selection of lighting for kids bedrooms. Seriously check it out if you get a chance for fun creative lighting.

I love the closet doors that Bryan did such a good job painting. The pictures above the closet door I made for the baby girl along with the Grace letters. I enjoyed making a few items for our little one on the way. Now all I need is her to make her debut! And I am getting impatient, so if you would be so kind I would love to see you by the end of next week little one.
