To the hospital we go!


Well we are just getting ready to go to the hospital now and I wanted to post one more picture of my big belly. My parents just took us out to Chuck-a-Rama for one last meal, then came over here to give me a blessing. I am so lucky to have the Priesthood in my home and available to me whenever I want! It really helped calm my nerves.

I think it will be a little while before the next post. But I will get some pictures loaded on as soon as possible! (I will make Jake do it!) So wish us luck as we welcome Nathan into our family!

Finished

I am excited to say that I am done working as of last Friday! Jake and I decided that it would be ok for me to take a couple days off before to get things ready and to try and get some rest before Nathan joins our family! Its really nice to not have to worry about getting ready and having to go to work. I am so grateful for my sweet husband and all his love and support through all of this! I am also grateful for my work and how wonderful they are and have been throughout the pregnancy and how good they are being for the post-pregnancy stuff! I am so lucky!

My Awesome Friends!

I have some of the best friends possible! Two of the greatest are Suzanne and Tiffany, they were sweet enough to throw me a wonderful baby shower, it was so much fun! I feel so lucky to have them as well as all of my friends that came to the shower and even those who couldn't make it! We got some wonderful gifts, Janet was kind enough to take some pictures for me during the shower so I can share themon here!



Once again thank you to everyone! It was so great to have my friends and family together and I am so grateful to Sheri, Tiffany's mom for opening her house to such a roudy bunch!

Showers Galore!

So this month is a very busy one for the Graves' family. Not only am I having a baby, Brooke is getting married on Halloween, Jake's cousin, Seth, is getting married and another cousin, Brianna, is having a baby (well in January - but Janet hosted the shower a few weekends ago) So we have been having lots of showers, I only have pictures from Brianna's baby shower that Janet hosted so I wanted to share them!

Brent and Brianna are going to have a baby girl in a couple months and they are going to be awesome parents so much fun!

I am a bit behind...

So I haven't updated my blog as much as I should because of my feet I can't sit at the computer, so I am here on the couch with my feet up and a laptop, so its time to update!

My sister Hillary has a funny video on her blog but her blog is private so I thought I would put it on my blog so everyone could enjoy it.



I have a couple more posts I am going to put on here tonight!

The latest update

So I went to the doctor on Thursday afternoon and we are still pregnant! Everything is good, no progress so probably no early baby, but that's ok, he will come when he's ready! So everything is going pretty well, my back is doing remarkably better, I am not sure if its because the baby has dropped or because I have slowed down even more, but its tons better! My feet are gross and puffy most of the time. (I just got a pedicure though - so they look pretty!)

We are pretty much ready, I think... People keep asking what we need still and I am not really sure. I have thought of a couple things that I think we want but don't know if we really need them... We don't have a thermometer (I think the ear kind is what we want), diaper garbage can, baby monitor, or a baby hair brush and other grooming kit stuff.

Other than that we just need the baby!

What color crayon are you?




You Are a Purple Crayon



Your world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors.

You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful.

People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you.

And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it's paying off!



Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.



I saw this on my friend Becky's Blog and wanted to know... What color am I?

New update

Sorry not to write very much, my feet and hands don't allow for much computer time they get too puffy.

I went to the doctor today and everything is still looking good. It doesn't sound like we will be having an early baby by any means... He said though that as of today he thinks he weighs about 7lbs 12oz. I am hoping he doesn't get too much bigger - ouch...

But everything and everyone is doing great!
