Who Said Pregnancy is Beautiful?

I have not felt very beautiful this pregnancy. I am not glowing. I think the best word to describe me is huge. Putting on 50 extra pounds and inflating every area of my body does not feel remotely beautiful. I am sooooo ready to get this sweet child out of me. I know, I know.... He is so worth it. And now I can say I have weighed over 200 pounds. Bucket list... check, check.

This looks like a picture of a contestant before going on the biggest loser.

Give me some Pitocin!

Quick ER Trip

Fevers on the weekend are stressful. Just an ear infection today. Get well so you can be a big brother!

Just letting the family know all is well.

Independence Day Fun

We spent the afternoon at my brother Travis' house.

He was a little scared of the fireworks but mostly tired.

Happy Fourth Of July!

We All Scream For Ice Cream

Heirloom Portraits were running an ice cream picture special that was too cute to resist. We wanted to get one last picture with just the three of them. It wasn't hard to get them to smile.

You can kind of see his two different colored eyes here.

She's a Married Woman

One of the first things I thought of when I found out I was pregnant was Tori's destination wedding to the Bahamas. I was so looking forward to it and knew I would be very pregnant when it was planned for. I decided I would wait and see how my pregnancy was going before making my decision. My pregnancy had been uncomplicated and I just couldn't miss one of my oldest friend's wedding. I saw Dr. Reddy the day before my refundable flight was supposed to leave and she very reluctantly gave me a note to go. My friends at work packed me a kit in case I delivered on the plane. I discussed how to deliver a baby with Sarah (she's a doctor. A dentist is a doctor.) and off we went. I am sooooo glad I got to watch Tori become Mrs. Ryon even if I got more swollen than I have ever been before. The flight home was a little rough but overall it was a very relaxing vacation. Sarah took excellent care of me. I can only imagine how much more fun this vacation would have been if I could have had too many alcoholic drinks but that's ok. I've done lots of drinking with this girl.

Two of my absolute favorite people

gorgeous bridal party. I'm the huge one with ugly hair.

Aren't they gorgeous?

Jaxson was the cutest little ring bearer

It was a great party.

Very classy bride

Sarah dug a hole so I could lay on my stomach.

I had a great time getting a sunburn on my "baby moon."

Colson's First Haircut

I love Colson's cute curls but he was called a girl one too many times.
