31 weeks!

This beautiful picture was taken by Amy Sorensen. I am hoping to have more to share with you as soon as I get them! We are getting closer and closer to our baby girl being a real part of our family! I'm feeling huge, my back is hurting, and I also have no energy! I am so grateful to be pregnant! I am so grateful for my little baby girl. But most of all, I am grateful for a husband who is so supportive of me, even if it's me staying in my Pjs all day and laying in bed. This has been happening more and more! I am so grateful for parents who are willing to have us live with them while money is tight! I am grateful for a Father in Heaven who hears and answers prayers, even if we don't see it right away. I am so grateful for everything in my life, and for the blessing of an eternal family!

Baby Shower!!!!

Thanks to amber, lisa, mom, and laura for the amazing party! and all my friends that came to see me! i love you all and am so happy you are in my life!

Getting ready!

Yesterday and Today is clean clean cleaning time! yesterday I deep cleaned the bathroom and our nursery/living room., dusted my parents front room, and today, doing laundry, cleaning my bedroom, and cleaning the kitchen! My mom is also going to town on the cleaning. We are having my baby shower this weekend! I'm so excited to see my family and friends, and celebrate my baby girl! Amber (my sister in-law) is going to make this the cutest shower i've ever seen! i will for sure post pictures.

I am so grateful for my mom, and my mother in-law and sister, and sister in-law for everything they are and have been doing for me! this is going to be a great shower! and an even better support system when baby Lillyan gets here!

I also want to say how amazing my husband Andy is, he is my sold ground. I am like a chicken with my head cut off right now. If i didn't have him here to remind me or things, tease me for my craziness and remind me that all of this uncomfortableness is and will be worth every moment once i get that little girl in my arms! He is the best man, and a great support to me! I love him more than anything, and i can't wait to have something that is ours and just ours only!

I am grateful for everything my parents have done for us, letting us rent from them, letting us be in there home, and bring our baby home here. it's not the most ideal situation but i'm grateful for a family who will support us in anyway we need!

I have never been so grateful  in my life! i feel like Heavenly Father has blessed us so much! we went from not knowing if we would ever be able to have our own kids, to a surprise pregnancy. I love this baby. I love my Father in Heaven, and his son Jesus Christ! I am so grateful that I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Later Day Saints. I love the Gospel and all it's teachings!

Thanks everyone who reads this, and i'm grateful for your support as well.

so good!!!

I am loving my growing baby! she is so awesome! she is starting to respond to my touch! it's pretty awesome to put my hand on my belly and have this little girl push back! she is amazing! i can't wait to meet her and hold her, and love her! even if it mean sleepless nights, and crying and poop, and everything and anything else that she will send my way! i love her and i'm so excited to be a mommy!

if you've read any of my other post about all the things we did and gave up on, you'll understand why i love her more than anything, when i haven't even met her! I know Andy is going to be the best dad in the whole world!  he is so excited, worried, and patient! he is already such a great man, and i know that he will live up to every dream i've ever had about raising a family!

This weekend we watched General Conference and Sister Dalton talked about the good dads and all the things they do! i know that andy will be one of those dads! and i can't wait to raise a family with andy!

Lots and Lots of stuff!

Just looking over my list of things i need before the baby gets here! hahaha so crazy that a little person needs so much!

5to10 onesies
5to7 sleepers
2to3 hats
2 packs of diapers
1 pack of wipes
1to2 hooded towels
1 bottle baby wash
10 plus burp cloths
brest feeding pillow
crib
bassinet
swing
rocking chair
5 to7 pairs of socks
3 to 5 wash cloths
baby nail clippers
digital thermometer
3 to 5 fitted sheets
5 to 7 light blankets
1 to 2 heavy blankets
car seat
3 to 5 binkies
1 tube butt paste
baby lotion
baby oil

milk storage bags
3 to 5 bottles
nursing shawl
nasal aspirator
infat acetaminophen
baby monitor
night light
5 to 10 long sleeve onesis
5 pairs of new born pants
diaper pail
baby bath

and i'm sure that's not all... but that's the first list i've found... not including all the things i need for after baby comes. like nursing stuff.

oh and all of this stuff is just stuff you need for the first week, i think it's mainly so you don't have to do wash and just heal and get into the swing of things with a new baby in the house.

did you know that on average a new baby goes through 10 to 12 diapers a day! holy cow! that's a ton, and they usually need at least 2 out fit changes a day! haha so funny!

so excited can't wait to get my little baby girl here!
