Graduated...


and feeling so wonderful! I took my last final of college on Monday. We went to Spaghetti Factory to celebrate. Also, congrats to Matt for only having his internship left. It's amazing to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Pregnancy Dreams and Showers

I've always heard that people have crazy dreams while they're pregnant. Here are a few that we've had that I don't want to forget:

-I was really busy one day, and had just barely had the babe. I didn't know how to get everything done with this other person to take care of, so I put him in the refrigerator for the day. I didn't even go check on him until the next morning. He was still just as happy as can be in the fridge, 24 hours later. If only he's that good when he comes out.
-I have a reoccurring dream that our baby isn't the cutest thing in the world, and maybe looks a little like an alien. Trying to get some assurance that this is totally normal, I told my mom about the dreams I'd been having. She excitedly exclaimed that she had the same dream, but not only was he not cute, he also had no personality. Thanks, mom. :)
-Matt keeps having a dream that we can pull our baby out of my bellybutton and play with him for a while. Once we're done playing with him for the day, we just stick him back in my stomach until we want to see him again.
-My favorite dream so far, which I had a couple nights ago: I was in labor, and was getting ready to push. My doctor told me I would be going into the parking lot to do the remainder of the delivery. I, of course thinking this was totally normal, got out of bed and hobbled to the parking lot with Matt on one side and my mom on the other. We were walking toward an unmarked white van, and all of the sudden Jennifer Aniston jumped out. She came right up to me, and told me that she would be doing the rest of my delivery. We all sat there, stunned, and Pat broke the silence by saying that we at least had to get a couple of pictures with her before I looked really awful. So Matt, Jen, and I posed for some pictures, got in the van, and she delivered my healthy baby boy.

Jen, if you ever stop by our blog, you're needed in Utah around the beginning of January. You were a really great distraction during all the pain, and it calmed me down to have you in my delivery room. Thanks! :)

You can tell that all of our thoughts center around baby, baby, and more baby. We are so excited for him to come (only 30 more days)!

Also, we have had some AMAZING showers the last couple weeks! It was not only a great excuse to spend time with family and friends, but helped us feel so much more prepared for the babe to come. We couldn't get through all of these excited, nervous, emotional, and joyful feelings we're having without your support! Thank you!
