The weekend was nice and quiet-- no major events. I had the chance to catch up with Becky and Elena on Saturday night, which is always a blast, and Chris and Jake, along with Todd and my parents, had a chance to catch up on Risk. Somehow capturing the Risk-playing was one of my few picture-taking objectives of the weekend!
Also on Saturday night, Allison, my youngest sister, went to her first formal dance. My sisters Kristie and Ann-Michelle did her hair and I did the make-up, and I think we were all quite pleased with the results. She looked WAAAAAAAAY better than her date. No offense to the guy but yeah. This picture is one that she'll probably post on her blog fifteen years from now! :)
Now we're back home and baby-prepping is in full swing. My kids are fairly far apart (especially by Utah standards), so I tend to forget how much stuff a newborn needs, not to mention how tiny everything is. We bought a box of diapers at Sam's club-- I think there are more than 250 of them. Insane. But, at least we have them and I think he should be diaper-ready for a month. Ah, good old diapers. It's been a few fun months without them!
I'm at a very foreign place with this pregnancy. With my other two, by the time I was in my last month, I was very busy concocting ways to go into labor as soon as possible. I could not wait to get those babies out of my body. But this one is a little different. Yes, I'm amazingly uncomfortable and cranky, and I want to burn every item of my maternity wardrobe. On the other hand, the idea of having a third baby is kind of freaking me out. I keep thinking that I really just need a little more time to adapt to the suggestion. I've been assured that most mothers feel this way at one point or another, and that somehow, most of them get through it. I'm sure I will, too.
Next week, I'm going to have a "guess the date" contest. Any suggestions for prizes for the winner?

Allison looks GORGEOUS!!! Kind of crazy that this is the last of DeArton high school dances...
Happy Baby Prepping! That formal picture is hilarious! Your sister looks so pretty!
I was the same with Mr X before he was born. But, unless you birth something evil (or half evil, which is always my primary concern), you'll find going to 3 is cake. Seriously. I find myself just living in the moment and wallowing in the fun of babies, toddlers and the kindy crowd right now. I'm going to miss these days.
All I know is that he better make an appearance between the 5th and the 17th or between the 19th and the 24th! It's okay if he comes after the 28th, too, but I don't think THAT'S going to happen. I'm guessing the 12th. I want to win a million dollars.
allison does look beautiful. and i am so glad we were able to catch-up and enjoy some ice cream together.
i will be in logan the first weekend in october and wouldn't mind having a brand new baby to cuddle!(: you will be wonderful with three. especially with a great helper like thomas! (: love ya!
I know how you feel about getting ready even though my babies were close. I was still scared! You will find that he is the baby perfect for your family! It's also okay not to try and put yourself into labor! I tried it with 3 of my babies. Either way he's going to be here sooner or later and you can't put him back! Enjoy the aches and pains and maternity clothes a bit longer!
Oh wow! Yeah, I must say he isn't the most photogenic. Ha ha, but thanks so much! The dance was a blast!!! :D
