Full-term

Well, here I am at almost 40 weeks pregnant. Wow! I didn't know that my belly could stretch this far! Everyday has been a waiting game as we keep expecting this baby to come. I never had to wait with Jamin, so this is torture! The hardest thing for me is that Jami and Brandone will be leaving out of town on Saturday, and my Dad will leave out of town very early Sunday morning. I want nothing more then to have my family with me for the birth of my baby. My Dad was not around for Jamin's birth (due to him being in the hospital 90 minutes away from us). I will be sad if he has to miss the birth of both of my babies! I guess it will all work out in the end, but I sure hope this baby comes in time for my family to all be there (I do have to admit that the odds are not in my favor). Wish us luck!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have sure been blessed this Thanksgiving. I had no idea that my pregnancy would go this long, but it allowed me to enjoy the holiday with the Gilbert family. I would have sure liked to have been holding my new baby, but feeling good enough to enjoy the holiday with my family was also wonderful. I just wish I knew when this baby would come! How greatful we are to have our family during this wonderful Holiday. Thank you all for your phone calls, love and endless support. We couldn't do it without you! We love you all!

Precious!

Father and Son. I love it!

Too Sweet!

Does it get any sweeter then this??

Jamin, Mommy and Gus

I love it when Jamin "plays" with baby Gus. He is so sweet and loving with the baby. I am going to miss having him give baby Gus kisses and hugs. I think that he is going to be such a good big brother!

My handsome boys

How I love my boys! I have decided that pregnancy is just as hard on the boy's as it is for me. Kevin has done a great job in taking over so that I can rest (I won't even get started on how he has to deal with my emotions!). Kevin is so good at coming home and playing with Jamin. He even takes Jamin to work with him at times. Jamin loves to put on his "work pants" and leave with Daddy. My favorite part is having him come home, give me a big hug and say, "I missed you Mommy, I love you!" Does it get better then that??

39 weeks

I didn't make it to 39 weeks when I was pregnant with Jamin- he came the day before I actually hit that mark. I am feeling HUGE and super excited to meet our new little baby.

Do all boys do this?

Jamin makes me laugh with his creativity. He loves to line things up right now. He will do it with his blocks, animals, soldiers, etc... Is this normal?? Jamin just loves to build. He would be happy all day if we just built things with him. He is such a boy!

37 Weeks

Here I am at 37 weeks pregant with my "buddah belly" (as Kevin so lovingly calls it). I feel HUGE! Jamin loves to kiss and love "Baby Gus". I thought it was cute that he did it for my pictures. The only sad thing is that I am a little taller in heels then he is used to. I am feeling ready to have this baby. I have to move the rest of our furniture from our home in Provo down to Huntington. We are doing that this weekend. When we are finished I am hoping that everything will be ready for the baby to come.

Terrorist!

Jami said that my Dad looked like a terrorist this year- it made us laugh! I was impressed with the costume! If I saw him on the street I don't think that I would have recognized him! Nice costume Dad!

Crafty Jamin

Kevin and I had good intentions of carving pumpkins with Jamin this year (we even got the pumpkins!), but we never got around to it. Luckily Heather saved us with her mister potato head for pumkins set. Jamin had fun putting the face on while I enjoyed not having to clean-up the mess! Jamin also loves painting right now. This is a picture that he painted for Daddy. When he gave it to Kevin he also sang him "Happy Birthday Daddy". Isn't that sweet!

Happy Halloween!

Jamin was the most adorable (and huggable) giraffe this year. Jamin really wanted to be a cowboy, but mommy said it would be too cold (mean mommy!). I added a picture of Tyson (Holly's boy) as a cheetah. He looked so cute!

Happy Halloween!

We had many exciting Halloween adventures this year. Jamin was (reluctantly) a giraffe this year. He told everyone that he was going to be a cowboy, but mommy thought the costume would be too cold (mean mommy!). Jamin was a cowboy in his heart. I thought that he made for a very huggable giraffe for mom! I also include a picture of Tyson (Holly's little boy) as a cheetah. He looks so cute!
