Belly, Elephantitas of the Ankles, & Berkley at 37 1/2 weeks

Those of you who have been asking for a belly shot, here it is! I've been expanding quite quickly the past two weeks. I'm still not as large as I normal get so I don't have a lot to complain about, (truth be told, when you are in your thirties and pregnant ,there is a lot to complain about), but my ankles are a sight to behold! They are in the swell-as-large-as-they-possibly-can stage so when ever I take off my socks or shoes or boots my ankles are like silly puddy and have conformed to whatever shape they were in. This next picture was after Brackon and I had been to the Temple and I had been in my boots. It looks as though something has knod on the inner parts of my ankles!

I went to the specialist today and had my last appointment and ultrasound with them. She is weighing in at 6lbs. 7ozs. and has got herself some cheeks! She didn't want to be out done by her sisters. For those of you who are talented in the art of actually being able to see images in ultrasounds you will be able to see her chubby cheeks hanging down her face. So cute!!! In the larger picture I have her as though she is standing up, to help you out a little. The ones to the side are of her face sideways with the top of her head to the right!

We are so excited for her to come and can hardly wait to kiss those chunky cheeks!!! I have an appointment with my regular doctor tomorrow and we'll see if I've progressed any more than the 2 cm and 50% efacement. We could have her as soon as monday if they decide to induce me because of the distance we are from the hospital and how quick my labors are. We'll keep you posted!

Quilt of Death!!!

Here is Berkley's quilt that took me FOREVER to make!!! I will never make another rag quilt again!!! Mom wanted me to post it so that she could see it. Poor mom, I complained religiously about what a nightmare it was to make. (Thanks for listening to my barking Mom.) I'm really excited about how it turned out. Hopefully it lasts forever because it was quite the task. I'm thinking that if I had made really huge squares that it wouldn't have taken as long to make it.

While returning home from Cleveland, OH yesterday late afternoon, I snapped these photos of the sun setting from the airplane. As most of you know I do quite a bit of flying for work. I often take for granted the gorgeous sunsets and views that I get to see from 25,000+ feet. Here is one that I could not pass up. I showed this to Kennedy and Morgan and they thought that the clouds in the picture were the ocean. Enjoy!
