Happy Valley

After a summer of searching, Jared found a job! He'll be doing the new grad residency at IHC in Provo. That means at the end of August we will be leaving the Ute Nation for Cougar Central. We are excited but a little worried about all the BYU fans. As long as Jared can make it through football season I'm sure it will be fine. Really though, everything has fallen in to place once again. I always worry and stress about the future but we are always blessed and things just work out. We are close enough that I can still have the baby here. We are going to be close to family so Grandma can help me with Baby M. (which is a blessing because I have no idea what I'm doing.) And we were also able to find an apartment already.

Now the only thing we are waiting for is the baby. He/She is taking her/his sweet time in coming though. My due date is technically Tuesday so I guess I need to be more patient. But any day would be fine with me! I'm huge and hot and ready to see this little person who's been kicking me for the last few months. (I mean that in a very affectionate way...I don't mind the kicking.) Even though I'm nine months pregnant it still doesn't seem real that a human is going to come out of me any day. I don't feel ready to be a mom. I'm not sure anyone ever really feels ready though. But we are both super excited and getting anxious to finally know if it's a boy or girl! Here are some pictures of my belly at about 37 weeks. This was the weekend my mom threw me a shower. I really appreciate everyone who has been so generous to us! We seriously have had everything we need for the baby given to us. So thanks everybody and especially mom for your hard work on cupcakes and shower planning. Next post--baby pictures (hopefully)!
