Trip to the ER

And here I thought the next time we went to the hospital, it would be for Katelyn's arrival!!! David always did have a cute way of filling my life with surprises, but I'll let you read about it on his blog. Hopefully he will post his story soon. :) http://davidpulver.blogspot.com

Showering Babies

Here's a cute picture we took Saturday at the shower. 3 of my friends are also pregnant!! We decided to get together and take a pregnancy picture of the 4 of us :)

Grandpa Pulver

David's great grandfather Pulver passed away today. I think my first memory of him was when he piled in my car with Dinah, David and Rosie and I and we headed to New Smyrna Beach to take our engagement pictures. He had a good camera and a good eye for photography, so we asked for his help. Those of you who liked our wedding invitations...those pictures were taken by Grandpa and Dinah. Here's a picture that was taken that day of Grandpa and Rosie. He was 97 at the time, and helped me know the Pulver family was full of love. :)

Growing Up So Fast!!

Well, nothing much is happening with me, so I figured I would post this picture that Shelli sent me of my adorable nephews, Tommy (3) and DJ (6). They look so big! Shelli said that Tommy looks sad because he couldn't go to Cub Scouts with his big brother. :) Can't wait to see them all when they come Dec 1st to meet their new cousin! I sure hope Kate comes in time!

In the 50s!!

59 days from now and here are a few more pictures from the shower of gifts from my wonderful co-workers. I think the first picture is about a second before I got a sweet kiss on the cheek from my hubby.

11 months today! (Anniversary, not Pregnancy)

Today is David and I's 11 month anniversary!! Only 60 more days until Katelyn's arrival. Here's a picture of me standing in front of our messy nursery closet. You know it's one thing to have to put your clothes away to make room for the maternity clothes that you now only fit into, but let me tell you, it's a whole 'nother feeling to have to start putting away your maternity clothes because they are too small!! Yikes! I'm bursting out of this shirt in the picture, so it will soon be retired to the maternity box. ;)

Oops forgot the best part of #218

After all that chaos, it just got better.... When I got in the elevator at work, this man says to me, "You must be due soon, huh?". I guess that was a nice way of him saying, "Wow, Woman, You're H_U_G_E!!!". :)

Evidence #218 of Pregnancy Brain

I use the #218 because that's how long I've been pregnant and I'm sure I've committed at least one thing a day that would qualify as "proof" of Pregnancy Brain. Want to hear this morning's? Yea, I thought so. So, I grab my water (because the ride to work is a great time to focus on drinking enough water) and phone and head off to work. After a few minutes, I put my phone in the usual spot where I can see it clearly. A few minutes later I saw out of the corner of my eye a cell phone in the passenger seat. So, I did a double take and then realized I had grabbed my husband's phone too!!! OOPS!!! Now, you know we don't have a home phone, so it's really important that he has his cell. So I started to laugh at myself because I have no idea how I grabbed both of them, then proceeded to call my boss to explain that I would be late because I had to drive all the way home to return the phone to its rightful owner. Then on the way home, David must have used the computer to try to find his phone, because I opened the phone and saw a text message that said, "Test. Where are you phone?". I kept laughing because I couldn't call David and let him know that I was bringing the phone home because he didn't have his phone!! So, as I was driving back into our subdivision, I saw him coming the opposite direction. Poor thing was heading all the way back to Bumby Chapel to see if he left it there this morning at seminary. Good thing I caught him :) Then on my way back to work I realized I was running out of gas. Should I really be allowed out of the house? Then in the middle of I-4 traffic, I got that "If I don't find a bathroom in the next 3 minutes....." and I remembered how much water I had drank on my first attempt to get to work!!! What a morning!!

Painting has begun!

The painting of our house has begun. We decided that since we are spending the money, we might as well change the color just a bit. I wanted it a little darker. So if you look at the pic, the top half is the new color and the bottom half is the old color. We like it so far :) Also, on the baby aspect, I think I started feeling some of those Braxton Hicks contractions. Not really sure what I'm talking about, but I think that's what they were. Just felt like a tightening as I was walking a few times today.

One More :(

Usually I have good thoughts as I'm walking from the parking lot up to the beautiful Orlando Temple doors, but I must admit this morning I was thinking, "Oh why is the Temple built on a HILL?????". Then I thought of a great idea. For Temples and all these lovely Latter-day Saint Women having lots of babies, shouldn't they have preferential "maternity parking" just like Babies-r-Us? :) They let me just sit at the desk today and do the office work instead of all the normal running around I do, but I still came home exhausted and hurried home after my shift, ate lunch, and headed for a nice long 2 hour nap. Oct 13th is my next and last week to work at the Temple. It's sad, but I think I'm ready to slow down a bit for my last 10 weeks of pregnancy. One of the sealers predicted that she would come early on October 8th. I told him to go ahead and ask for that in his prayers, I was definitely ok with it :)
