Tractors and More Tractors!

Well dear family (and friends), were about 2 weeks out from the big date! Can you believe how fast that went by?!

Things are going great with baby and me though, and despite a few contractions here and there it looks like we might be in for the long haul, but then again you never know! We did finally pack a few hospital bags, so at least we have that!  The rest of the planning is still in the well...planning stage. Like a name? Still struggling there. Let's be honest i'm struggling. Shaun is pretty set that it should be Carter and i'm still iffy. My feeling is that we need a couple as back up, so I also like Conner (close I know) and Bracken (which Shaun HATES).  Names will be names right? No big deal?

We do have most of the little guy's room set up. Shaun has done a great job! I honestly had very little to do with it so its Shaun's masterpiece for sure. I love it. I think all thats left is figuring out where he wants a few pictures hung and decorating one last shelf.




I also had an AMAZING baby shower last night, hosted by 3 AMAZING ladies in my ward. One of which is pregnant herself, she's a trooper! It of course was tractor/farm themed as well and was so cute. We had an amazing turn out and I felt so blessed that so many women came to celebrate and give such amazing gifts! I can't thank them all enough! 







I had no idea how big I was till I saw this picture! 

The Three Hostesses


Other than just feeling like were playing a waiting game till the day baby arrives we have stayed pretty busy with our projects and of course school! Shaun is in between modules so he had this week off from classes. Sadly that doesn't mean he escaped the homework completely but, he was able to relax a bit more. Which is great given he got worked by tree pollen that is starting to hoover over  this city. Remember the yellow cloud? Ya, its slowly making its appearance. Yuck. I've been lucky so far, all i've had to deal with is an itchy throat, but once the pollen really hits my lungs like to close up on me. Allergies are lame! 

This next module Shaun will be taking an entrepreneurship class as well as project management. For the entrepreneurship one he has to come up with a business or product idea and then present it in front of actual investors. Pretty much Shaun gets to go up against Georgia's version of the "Sharks". I have a feeling this business idea may be farm related, ha. Good news though is that Shaun has this upcoming module and then one more. That means he's almost done! Oh and he will be graduating with honors! Cum Laude in Grad school... or maybe it was magna cum laude? Either way, good job Shaun!

As for me, i'm pretty much a home wife. Its been nice to have the time to get things in order and finish up some projects, but I go stir crazy. I usually go out for a walk of some sorts with Toby so that I dont literally go crazy but sometimes its just doesn't cut it. I'll tell you what, i'm so excited to finally get my body back, I would love to go for a run right now! But honestly being home and not working has been really good. I'm pretty sure there is no way I could have kept up with my clients! And, since little boy has made a few attempts to come early its been nice to be here, close to the hospital and close to a couch! 

Well, I think thats all there really is to update! Next time hopefully there will be a baby involved. If not, I may have a freak out. Belly can only stretch so much!
