[.if the plan doesn't work, change the plan but never change your goal.]

The last few weekends miss k has been spoiled rotten by friends and family at her baby showers!
 I am so incredibly grateful to those who have thrown the showers!  I know how much hard work is put into them to even make it happen.
 
My mom threw the Hamblin/Neilson and Lifelong clients shower.
 
 
Myrna, Kamie, Tori and Jenny threw the Fischer/Brown and neighborhood friends shower.
 


 
My step mom Tracy threw the Rose shower.

 
 
 
I have some amazing family in my life and don't know what I would do withouth them!
 
Yesterday, one of my best friends Sarah Jackson threw my friends/Paces shower.
 
I can't believe how much love and support has been shown for this little girl, and with one more ward shower to go, I can't even imagine!
 
I now feel much more ready for miss k to arrive.
We have her car seat, stroller, swing, and pack'n play!
We just need to put up the closet in her room and I will almost feel complete.  All we need is her!
 
These last 37 weeks have been awesome.
I really can't complain too much about my pregnancy, there are definitely it's moments, but really I have enjoyed it.
Feeling her move everywhere is one of the craziest things to experience, seeing her move is even more crazy.  It just brings me that much closer to reality that she will be here before we know it.
One of the first things people ask is, "Oh, are you just miserable!?"
I sure hope I don't look miserable!  I actually feel really good for the most part.  I'm just ready to be in my bed sooner in the evenings than I usually would be.  I'm not ready to be done being pregnant, I'm just ready to meet her and see her face!
 
As of my appointment last Thursday I was dialated to a 2 and 70% effaced.
Hopefully it will be further than that at our next appointment Wednesday :)
I'm not saying I can't wait until March 4th, but wouldn't be sad if she ended up being a February baby.  We're just getting excited, that's all!

On a completely different note, I have to congtratulate my brother and future sister in law!
 
 
They were engaged last week and are getting married April 19th!
I couldn't be more happy for them!  They were seriously made for each other and everyone knows it!
I have loved getting to know Jenna over the past 2 years and am so excited to call my best friend my sister in law.
