Here are the facts...What is your guess?

I thought that it would be fun to see who can guess the closest to when our baby is going to be born, how much she is going to weigh...things like that. So I will give you the facts and then you need to make your best guess. I am 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant. At my appointment yesterday I was dilated to a 2 and effaced 75%. I was born at 5:15am, 6 lbs 8 oz, 20" long, with a medium amount of very light brown hair. Brad was born at 11:30am, 7 lbs 12 oz, 20 1/2" long, with a little bit of blond hair.
What is the date and time that you think our baby will be born?
How much will she weigh?
How long will she be?
How much and what color will her hair be?
Good luck! I am excited to see if anyone can guess right on!

Nursery Part 2

We Did It!
I have been wanting to paint some stripes in the nursery, but I have been scared to do it. I decided that we weren't going to do it because I am kind of a perfectionist when it comes to things like that. I was sure that it would end up crooked or something and then I would go crazy every time I looked at it! But, I really thought that it would be cool. So I changed my mind, again, and put it on the list of things to do. Some of you might know about this list, it is the list of things that I want to get done before December. When I put it on the list Brad said, "Sorry, there's no more adding to the list, unless you take something off." Well, let's just say this, we painted the stripes in the nursery last Saturday. I think that it turned out great! We did so good, they are even straight. I love doing projects with Brad, it's just so much fun! I am thankful for a wonderful husband who puts up with me and my list!

What a Miracle!

As of Wednesday afternoon I have a new little nephew named Grant! He is such a miracle. For the last 17 weeks the doctors have been saying that he would not survive once he was born. Well, he is here and he is amazing and so cute. He is such a fighter. My brother and sister-in-law are also so amazing! What a wonderful experience it is to see the hand of the Lord working miracles in their lives. I know that Heavenly Father loves all of his children. I know that there is a plan for all of us, there is a reason that he is here with us. I am so thankful that he gets to spend some time with us! Congratulations Nate and Stacey and welcome to the world sweet little Grant!

A whole lot of tagging going on!

So I have been tagged many times since I have started blogging. Sorry to all of you who have tagged me in the past, I just have never gotten around to doing it. Well, I have been tagged seven times in the last few days, OK I get the point, I will update my blog!

Let's start with the list of 6 quirky things about myself tag.

1. I do not like ranch or cream cheese. This tends to be a problem at most parties since ranch is the salad dressing of choice for most and cheese cake is a popular dessert.

2. I'll do one more thing about food. When I eat frosted mini wheats I have to turn them all frosted side up before I pour the milk. They just taste better that way!

3. I can't take fast showers. I enjoy long showers, but sometimes it would be nice if I could take a fast shower. Believe me I try and it just doesn't work.

4. I have never been to Disneyland. I have always wanted to go and it has never happened for me. I am excited to take our daughter one day and experience it with her.

5. In addition to being a BYU fan, I am a U of U gymnastics fan through and through.

6. I inherited crooked pinky fingers from my Grandma Stone. I am interested to see if our daughter has crooked pinky fingers like me or straight like Brad.

I tag BreAnne, Stacey, and Tyeanna

Now I will do the 4-4-4 tag...4th folder, 4th picture, tag 4 people.

This is a picture of my 28th birthday party. Notice the cake, it looks a lot like the one that I had for my birthday a few months ago. Yummy, my favorite!

I tag BreAnne, Stacey, Jen Long, and Kam Schneider

I also want to post a photo from Halloween. We had a nice relaxing Halloween this year. We stayed home and handed out candy until the candy ran out. Then we got to watch The Office. Fun times!
