First of all, I am pregnant. Still. It's so strange how the time can go so slowly, but yet pass quickly at the same time. It's like the time passing while I was on my mission. The days feel like weeks, but the weeks feel like days. I don't know how else to explain it. When I was 30 weeks Gaby DID try to make an appearance. Out of nowhere one night I started having major contractions every three minutes for a couple of hours. Ryan and I were both freaked out because it was still way too early. Even after taking the medication the doctor gave me to stop contractions, they didn't stop. So she got a late-night call which I'm sure she was extremely excited about (I could tell from her groggy, monotone voice that I was her best friend that night). She told me to take a little more medicine and to head off to the hospital in an hour if they hadn't stopped. Luckily they stopped. I guess Gaby realized that the first few months of her life weren't going to be fun and games if she continued with that behavior! So, here we are...it's September. I'm larger than I was with Tyler so most of my maternity clothes from last time don't fit anymore and I had to get things in a bigger size. That's always a good feeling. I'm 36 weeks now and I'm pretty ready for her to come any time now.
I think Ty is ready for her to come too. He's got to be sick of his boring mommy that can't play with him for more than ten minutes before needing to lie down. He's so patient though and he's such a sweetheart.
He loves to give Gaby kisses.
Monica and Jorge had their third little boy last month and they named him Mason. He's a little cutie and so tiny! Well, you know, in comparison to Aaron, Cameron and Tyler. I forget how small they are at first!
Last month we went camping for one night with my extended family up at Monte Cristo by Pineview. It was beautiful there and we had a great time that evening just chatting by the fire, eating dinner and roasting marshmallows. The next morning, however, the rain had started and wouldn't let up. Ryan and I were supposed to make breakfast, but it just didn't happen. Everything was soaked and so we packed up and headed home...and then it stopped raining. Of course.
Tyler loves Amy's husband, Aldo. Ty followed him around everywhere!
Tyler sleeping peacefully in the morning after having kept me up all night, rolling on me, whacking me with arms and legs, etc.
Me the next morning as a result.
At the campfire that night Ty took turns sitting with everyone. I got some time, then Ryan, then he climbed up with Aldo's daughter Sophie, then Aldo, then Lori, then Grandma. I guess he just wanted everyone to feel the love.
He sure loved the S'mores!
Last month was also my birthday. My dad made his famous carne asada and we had a big yummy dinner that night! Then we went to Park City to hang out at the condo Carla and Craig had for the week at the Canyons. It was fun! Thanks guys!
I had one broken green candle on my cake. It was Sunday and no one realized the supply of birthday candles was on it's last leg, literally. I hope lone, broken birthday candles aren't bad luck! :)
Guess what I got! BIGGER maternity clothes!
Tyler having fun in the huge bathtub at the condo. He loved it!
The day after my birthday Ryan took Tyler and Linda and me out to dinner at Bandits. After dinner we stopped at the grocery store to pick up some ice cream. Linda and I got out and left Ryan and Tyler in the car. When we got back only like 5 minutes later, there was a big vase of red roses on my seat in the car, and Ryan and Ty just sitting there grinning innocently. The second we had gotten out of the car, he and Ty ran in and bought me flowers and were back before we were. It was so sweet of him!
A couple weeks later was Monica's birthday, for which she received NORMAL clothing and gift cards to buy NORMAL clothing. Can't wait for that! And NO Monica, two weeks doesn't count for much. Especially when we get in our 50's or 60's. Me turning 68 two weeks before you isn't going to mean a whole lot! :) Happy Birthday!
The kids pretty much took over the cake.
Ty and Grandpa taking important phone calls.
Next came Carla's birthday at which Ryan took a million pictures on a camera he borrowed from a friend...meaning I have none of those pictures, but I will soon! Happy Birthday Carla!
Last but not least, on Labor Day we went to a Luau at Thanksgiving Point. They do it at the outdoor amphitheater at the waterfall. We spread out blankets and had some great food and then watched the Polynesian dances. It was lots of fun. Unfortunately we had to leave halfway through the show (at about 8:30. It was a LONG show!) because I couldn't sit anymore. Sorry guys!
I don't thin Mason liked the roasted pig.
Just in case you were wondering what the inside of my nose looks like. Thanks Ry :)

Looks like a fun summer! And I know it's hard to believe people while you are pregnant----but you are adorable! Seriously, you look so good! And it will come off sooo quickly. Just make sure to celebrate a half birthday to buy normal clothes...and burn just one of the maternity ones you hated :)
Megan! I'm so happy to finally catch up with you!! Wait, I mean I read your blog, but we should talk sometime. I would love to see you but I have a feeling it won't be until your baby is born, huh? You look so great so don't worry about what those sizes are!! :) I am excited for you to have your little girl. It will be fun, and yet at the same time not fun. I saw Nikki Schmidt at Burraston Pond in Mona on Labor Day. Isn't that random?
