Mason is coming

Thursday is THE big day!! I go in to get induced on Thursday morning. I cannot wait to meet him, yet at the same time I am absolutely terrified to actually go through the birthing process. Lots of prayers would be absolutely appreciated. Pictures to come as soon as we have them and I have some spare time!

We can't wait to add a third to our little family!

How did it go so fast?

One week.... in exactly one week from today I will be meeting this precious little guy:

I seriously cannot believe how incredibly fast this pregnancy has gone. I have so much to do still and only a week to do it. So, please forgive me if I am not on here with any updates till after little Mason comes.

Things to do before Mason arrives

Ok, this morning Jacob and I started to make a check list. Some of these are serious... the majority are not, but thats just how we are. 

1. Pack and move into new apartment

2. Get nursery together

3. Chop off hair so Mason can't pull on it (this is not going to happen)

4. Jacob shave beard into a mustache only

5. Get political views

6. Get the "Dont you dare do that in public" look down

7. Paige- learn how to cook a lot of casseroles 

8. Start using phrases, such as, "We dont act like that, do we?"

9. Jacob- learn more about sports and cars

10. Become oblivious to popular terms and slang used by the kids "nowadays," but still try to use them to seem cool.

Yep, we are going to be great parents. =)

Baby Mason

Well I am 36 weeks pregnant. I will be induced exactly 3 weeks from today. Mason has dropped and is very healthy. I will be going to the doctor every week now. We are getting really excited, but are hoping we get all packed, moved, and get his nursery done before he comes. Here are a couple pictures from the shower that my sisters threw for me and one of me 34 & 36 1/2 weeks pregnant. Enjoy!!

34 Weeks!

36 1/2 weeks!

My lovely Seesters! Tabby, Rachael, Alyssa, and Deanna!

Papa

Today has been a tough day. My amazing papa passed away this afternoon. It's so hard to see a person pass that has been there for you through every step of life. He babysat my brothers and I when we were young, he was the one we called to pick us up from school when we weren't feeling well, he took us to go bowling and showed up for the majority of our sports events, he baptized me when I was twelve, he helped me buy my first (and second) car, he came to my high school graduation, he was at my wedding, and he was at my college graduation. It saddens me to death that he will not be here to meet Mason, the next big step in my life. My grandfather was the one I looked up to when it came to my faith. He was an amazing man who went on mission trips overseas up until last year, he was never afraid to share his faith with others, and he helped me to grow my faith into what it is now. He will be missed. I love you papa.
