Lake Powell here we come!

Well folks, we leave bright and early tomorrow morning! This will be a short post because I have procrastinated and still have a lot to do...including shaving my entire lower half which these days, takes me a good hour or so. (Sigh)

We'll be back Wednesday morning (fingers crossed without a stowaway from my vagina).

GO BRONCOS!!!!


 Fully aware of my homeless look btw. Thanks
for thinking it though.

It's a Long One

It's sure been an exciting few weeks! My girlfriends threw me a shower last weekend and it is was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anything more...minus being 30 pounds lighter, minus the cellulite on the backs of my legs and minus the getting uncomfortable sitting slash standing slash doing anything for long periods of time thing...but then again, it wouldn't be a baby shower right?

Our families came from out of town and even one of my good friends from Portland made the trip with her husband...AND she's 30 weeks pregnant! Trooper huh? I'd say so. We have the most amazing people in our life. For reals.

Our little darlin' is the size of one of these:

And I guess you could call her "organic"???

She has pretty much reached her full length, about 20 inches. There's just not much more room left in there (her and I both agree on this) so she'll just be plumping up from here on out...just like her mama!

Picture overload ahead, this is your warning!

Of course the chalkboard made an appearance 
at the shower! Pretty sure it's been more 
involved in this pregnancy than I've been!

Some of my favorites:


Um yeah, chocolate sprinkled donut holes on sticks!?!
My girls know me so well :)



I love that I get to call these two my family

My little party host/BFF
Yes, that is a mimosa in my hand...don't hate


Hot mamas-to-be

Love them

Best Moms Ever


So, as some of you know, we are headed to Lake Powell next week. 5 days on a houseboat with 12 of our best friends, 90 degree air temp, 80 degree water temp and this view:


And I plan on doing lots of this:


And none of this:


I know most people think I'm crazy for going but, truth is, if something crazy DID happen, we've got it covered. AND I had my first vag check this morning and the old cervix is nice and clamped shut. My doc has no concerns with us going! Yay for that! Except that the stupid finger probe hurts like a bit**...not looking forward to that from here on out.

I just realized how long this post is so far...and it's about to get even longer! A friend of mine took our maternity pictures and I am totally in love with them. I think I owe her my first born child for her stellar work. She is pretty much amazing :)

She's a PINEAPPLE!

Can you believe it? I am actually posting ON TIME this week! I am a full 34 weeks pregnant tomorrow (holy shit), so technically, I am still in my 33rd week as I post this. Here you have it!


I look straight out of the 60's 
with my bouffant hair right?

So I am fully aware that my belly is starting to protrude out like a torpedo...but I will just DIE if I end up looking anything like this...sick.



Aaaaaaannnd, I'm pretty sure my husband would never come near me again. Can someone please explain to me how she didn't rip right open? Okay, I'm done ranting. But it is totally disturbing. However, there ARE 6 babies in there. But it's still gross. Okay, now I'm really done.

On a lighter note, here are some pictures from my work shower!


Drysdale, you did SUCH an amazing job planning your very
 first baby shower! Oh and by the way, did you realize you were
 wearing a scarf?...did you also realize it was 102 degrees that day? :)





Pregnant Porn Star
Seriously, who let me/ENCOURAGED me to do this?

 These lovely ladies all played a huge part in making my
shower SO special. (Cara, not pictured, also helped but then 
chose to go to a country concert for the weekend instead...can't say
 I blame her). Not only do I get to work with these
girls, but I get to call them good friends. Lucky girl.
 Oh and just a little side note: Tristin (next to me, green shirt 
and FASCINATOR) has a bun in the oven too! Yay for procreation!

I'm tired, okay?!

Okay, so it turns out, being 32 weeks pregnant sneaks up on you and time starts to fly by! I can't believe how fast these past few weeks have gone...I'm pretty sure the days are getting shorter by the hour and the weeks by the day. We cannot believe that we only have about a month and half to go. Totally insane. But we are SO excited for our little Kenna girl to get here!

Slacked on the chalkboard again.
Like I said, pretty sure there were 
only like 3 days last week

And yes, I am storing nuts in my 
cheeks for the winter

You know you're 32 weeks pregnant when:

-You full on ball your eyes out when the 'Fabulous Five' win gold in the gymnastics team all around...and then you cry again each time they replay it.

-You cry when you drop your dog off at the groomer for a simple bath and trim because he really doesn't want you to leave him.

-You clean every little crumb out of the silverware drawer.

-Your most recent Google search is: "does cellulite go away after childbirth?"
(And for those of you wondering, yes, most of it DOES go away because it's caused from fluid retention in your tissues---4 pounds worth!)
And life lately has looked a little like this:

I'm so glad someone is getting a
 solid nap in around here

I purchased my floppy hat for Powell

I pretty much have the cutest niece in the world

And are you ready for this??? Mego and I worked on the nursery decor and I must say, we are the craftiest bitches I know. Here's a little sneak peek...



And a few other nursery additions:



Some girls at work threw me a "work" shower over the weekend. It was absolutely perfect and so much fun! I have such good friends and co-workers. Pictures to come soon!
