McKay Dee Hospital

Here it is....McKay Dee hospital. We spent 8 hours here today learning about what we'd be doing in less than 4 weeks if all goes according to plan. Its a very nice hospital but as we tour the 4th floor in labor & delivery department I began to remember how the smell of a hospital is incredibly nauseating. Jon was a good sport putting up with the childbirthing class that we had to do in one day because my schedule wouldn't allow me to do otherwise. At the beginning of the class I introduced us and then the "partner" was supposed to say three nice things about the mom. I was alittle curious as to what he would say. He said he loved me for putting up with his hobbies expensive at times, he said he loved me for being a hard worker and working through this last month, and he said he loved me cause even when we fight we ended up laughing together. I thought it was cute, some of the other husbands said some pretty weird crap about liking their wives because they were the emotional one of the relationship?? I didn't follow. Jon said I looked the smallest in my class which I've decided between trying to go to the gym and working everyday probably has done my body some good in the end. Anyway I learned A TON and asked ALL the questions. Jon said he already knew everything, and I'm still getting goosebumps from all three birthing videos that we had to watch. Two of which were natural and produced in the 70s yeah so gross. But all in all the RN that taught it was awesome and really patient. I feel good now about my decision to do an epidural bc I feel much more educated on the subject. I'm thinking I'm ready to go but we'll see what the doc. says on Monday. Jon and I went to Wingers for lunch, haven't eaten there for like years it was a fun day for me. This evening I finally got the cleaning fever and got my bumb out of the bed and started cleaning....like cleaning stuff that hasn't been touched for months. I even lit candles to make the house smell good. It was so rewarding and yet there is SOOOO much more to do. Maybe Monday.

Recently...

So I had another doctor appt. yesterday found out baby girl weighs 5.0 lbs I was expecting more maybe in hopes that I would deliver sooner. Jon's expecting a chubby little thing, because he was 9 lbs 10 oz and thinks that all Walkers have "Walker babies" like we're some mass producing large breed. Nice huh? My coworker told me her first baby was 5.5 lbs so crazy. Baby seems healthy though and the doc told me next appt. she'd know if I was making any progress. Everyone keeps telling me I'm small & that I should be larger. My mother in law while visiting before leaving for her said I looked skinnier except for the obivious belly (which isn't true and the scale will prove that). Its kind of embarrassing cause I'd hate to find out that my due date was off a month or something weird or maybe I'll just balloon up this next month. I don't know I've got some evidence to prove my belly has stretched but I sure wish she'd just grow already and get out. I can't sleep at night and whatever she's doing in there is really starting to hurt. We're going to buy our jogging stroller/car seat set from Target this weekend. We're pretty excited.
Oh and tomorrow we're going to YES....another mission reunion, I'll be grateful for when we don't live in Utah. Oops Jon will probably read this. Last time wasn't too bad.
Jon took his young men the two of them to Bronco Mendenhall's (the BYU football coach) fireside at the tabernacle tonight. They got there an hour early and when I drove by their were cars everywhere! Must be good.
So yesterday I cut my hair again dang it. Even though I love my sister in law for putting up with my neediness. The back it shorter than the front so the front still has some length, and everyone at work loved it. Wish they would have told me that I looked shaggy before. Its alittle spunky and blonde kind of like my previous styles. I'll try to keep you updated.

One More Post...

I realized I never posted the bedding I ended up getting for our baby girl. It retails at the online store for 169.99! Good heavens I have a mother who is Ebay savy, she was able to bid someone out for 51.00 dollars plus 20 shipping. All in all I am very satisified, now I just need to reimburse my mom.
Its a collection by JoJo and can be found online at beyondbedding.com or if your a smart Ebay shopper under crib bedding. They have collections for boys as well.
Once this package arrived I took out all the stuff so I could count it and feel it. Its mirco suede and super soft yet still machine washable. Wish the star mobile came with the 9 piece set.

Who's Baby Is This?

Rolene had this on here page, so basically the website allows you to put pictures in to fortell what your children would look like and I thought I'd give it a try. I think this is creepy looking and I hope my child's face isn't so smooshed together at the bottom. Thought you might like a laugh.
Jon just saw this after I had posted it, so now I'm editing but he said I had to take it off because its so scarey. He also then informed me if our child is this white-trash looking he will send it back where it came from.

The Hills Are Alive in Layton UT

Well Jon has been riding around alittle more lately. His bike riding buddy is moving to OR so they're trying to get all the time in that they can. But let me go back alittle further, you see I once watched a TV series called Laguna Beach and became hooked. Then it morphed into the Hills with mostly the same people and still contained the high school rich snob drama I find so amusing. So last season I was able to watch most of the series on my computer. One time it featured a BMX rider from Australia who was dating either Audrina or the show's narrator Lauren. I honestly can't remember. Because Audrina was having boy trouble & Lauren's always dating someone new. When this BMX rider was on I called Jon who said hey I know that guy he was featured in my latest RIDE magazine. Sure enough he pulled it out and their was this bio on the guy. Anyway most people know the Hills because its a popular show. Well fast forward to a couple days ago. Jon was riding after work with this friend and a van pulls up and all these BMX pros jump out and start pulling huge tricks. Jon said it was awesome he couldn't believe all the stuff they were doing, he even dared to pull a trick which impressed most of them. He was proud. Anyway they were down for the big Dew Tour they do yearly kinda of like the X-Games. But these guy came over to chat with Jon and Jon noticed the Australian dude. He said hey my wife totally knows who you are, he goes "really does she follow BMX?". Jon replies no but she watches the Hills and we saw you on a date on the show. The australian goes OH Nooooo tell me she doesn't watch that. Apparently they all had a good laugh about it. Jon told me this story that night it was amazing to me this guy had dated a huge celebrity and wasn't so proud. If you have no idea what I'm writing about please disregard this post and do not tell mom I watch such a silly show.

Jon Wanted To Be Tagged

Here are the rules: Write five things about yourself that nobody knows or that is unique to you. Then tag five of your friends.

1. I secretly love going to the dentist. When I was a kid I would fake tooth aches so I could get a check up and pick a toy after the visit. The laughing gas was always a bonus as well as the music headphones. This was something only my mom and I knew till now.

2. I was severely injured in the head three times in one year when I was 2 yrs old. The first time I was kicked in the head by my uncle Marlo's horse in which I had to recieve many stitches, second I got hit over the head with a toy metal fire truck by an older autistic neighbor boy, and later the same boy hit me with a large rock. This may explain alot of things to alot of people as well as the bumps in my head.

3. I can't eat food without a fork and a knife. I developed this habit on my mission, because this is the way europeans eat. However, this is the proper way to eat.

4. I love whole milk, infact I'd drink cream (half & half) if it were sold in gallon bottles and was cheap. If I could I'd drink the milk straight from utter. The thicker the better. Needless to say we buy two different milk gallons each week.

5. I have driven just about every luxurious or expensive motor vehicle you can think of with exception of all new vehicles. I have driven a hummer H2, porsche, jaguar (prom night), BMW, mercedes, cadilac, mopeds, gopeds, harleys, corvette, mustangs, audi TT (hit 165 mph in that one). Everything from F350's all jacked up to lowered mini coopers. The joy of being a car salesman's son.

P.S. Julee wrote this but everything is straight from Jon's mouth. Now you know alittle more about Jon Jon.

TAG YOUR IT

I Got Tagged!
Here are the rules: Write five things about yourself that nobody knows or that is unique to you. Then tag five of your friends.

1. I like to take baths, in fact I can't remember the last time I took a shower. This has just gotten worse since my pregnancy because I always feel sore around my hips & legs. Sometimes I'll use body wash so there's bubbles.

2. I am a unconscious speeder. I don't have to be in a hurry to feel like I have to go 5-7 over the speed limit. I have no idea how to drive slow. Maybe this will change when I have a baby in the back seat and feel more responsible. However, in my defense I am a very defensive driver. I almost get hit at least once a week, twice on my way back from church at the same intersection. I hate Utah drivers. I've gotten 5 tickets in 3 states in last 5 years, I swear only one of them was understandable.

3. I don't like being alone. Since I moved back from Rexburg Idaho 2+ years ago, I have seen Jon every day, and since we've been married we haven't been apart. He's going hunting this weekend we'll see if I can handle it. I might have a panic attack, no really I've had them.

4. I'm a tanning addict. I loved tanning when I was at college and once I worked for a tanning salon it was glorious. I haven't tanned for many months now and I'm itching to jump in a bed. It does wonders for my skin I swear, I never used to had back acne or bumps or anything. If you'd like to know of a good lotion, I've tried about 20 different kinds most California Tan brand. If you'd like to know about beds I can educate you as well.

5. I hate needles. Once during high school I thought I should get my blood tested for thyroid problems. I did, nothing wrong with my thyroids but after they withdrew a test tube. All I could remember was not feeling well and mentioning this to the nurse, she then asked if I was nauseaus I asked her what that meant and the next thing I knew. I had a crowd circled around me making me wiff something strong. I didn't know where I was or what was going on for like 3 minutes I kept backing up in my chair. Turns out I hit my head on the counter when I fainted. They didn't let me leave for another half hour. I was always the kid that had to lay down on the ground after I got my shots.

P.S. Thank you Carrie & Amanda. Who to tag? How about Rolene, Chelsi, Holli, Wendy, Charee random I know. Enjoy!
