To the parents:

I just wanted to say how excited I am for the both of you, I know that you will be the most amazing mom and dad in the whole world! I wish more than anything that I was there tonight so the baby could meet her 3rd favorite person sooner but she will learn that soon enough. Good luck and Nick take good care of my best friend for me PLEASE! I love you all.

What's New

Nick and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on the 22nd. We are both surprised that it has already been that long. He can't believe I've put up with him this long and I can't believe he still wants me to! Just kidding. We had a great day together and went to dinner at P.F. Chang's (where I discovered another pair of Maternity jeans no longer fit me...I couldn't eat as much as I wanted to).

The doctor didn't check me at my last appointment so no news there. I go again tomorrow. I am to the point of wearing either a skirt or yoga pants EVERY day because nothing else fits and I just can't bring myself to spend more money on maternity clothes. My upper back is in pain all day long. I take a bath in the morning in order to get through the day and a bath at night in order to get to sleep. The only other complaint I have is my RIBS! I wake up from a dead sleep because my daughter is crawling into my rib cage. I feel like they are going to BURST! I can't believe I only have 25 days left....it has literally flown by!

If you have a chance to see this exhibit http://www.reflectionsofchrist.org/ PLEASE do! Nick and I went last night and it was incredible. The photographer created scenes from Christ's life with real people. The emotion it brings out is unbelievable. It made the scene have so much more meaning to me. I don't think he is going to very many cities but you can buy the book from Deseret BookThings I am learning to enjoy about Fresno:

Anthropologie and Wild Oats are close to me!

The fog! It keeps the sun away and helps to feel like Winter...minus the snow:(

There are so many great restaurants.

There is a Target on every corner.

Woodward Park...only a mere 3 miles from our house.

Christmas Lane. The roads are closed, 140 homes and 300 Trees are decorated for the Christmas season. I cannot wait to take my Mom there!

Some pictures.

35 weeks, this was on our anniversary.

Her room is ready to go!!! Now I just need some cute pictures of her to put in the frames.

Here is a picture of my tree for my Mom and Marla
