It's never too late

... to start blogging again!!!

So it's been a great 2 years since Halloween of 2009 :) Basically it consisted of me graduating from BYU-I, getting a job at Gugelman Photography, and oh yeah... getting pregnant!

This year is the year of the babies. My older sisters Andrea and Suzanne both had sons this year. Andrea's boy Owen was born in April, and Suzanne's boy Max was born in June. On top of that my sister in law Diedre just had a boy last week! Her boy is pictured below and she named him Erik. Nate and I are having our boy (Blaine) in October.

There you have it, 4 little boy cousins all born in 2011.


Man, Erik is cute. Kathleen (Nate's mom) says that Nate had hair just as thick when he was born. I hope so bad that Blaine has hair, I think it's the coolest thing ever! Arnett babies are chubby and bald, so we'll see what we get.

So far the pregnancy has been a cinch. Really. I have had NO sickness, problems, nothing. The only things that I would call symptoms are I was a picky eater for about a week in my second trimester, and a few times I got slight heartburn. That's about it. I really hope my delivery is just as easy as pregnancy, but my aunt Kat told me that since I have it easy to pregnancy I deserve a difficult labor, and if I don't even get a difficult labor, than I at least deserve difficult children ;) I hope she's wrong.

The one thing I can say about pregnancy is that it's boring. I have 89 days left... Ugh. I already have his pack n play set up, clothes ready to be worn, book waiting to read to him, blankets waiting to cuddle him and dippers waiting to be used. It's like counting down until Christmas. Notice how no one starts counting down for Christmas 9 months before the day? That would only make it seem farther away! Well, you start counting down for a baby 9 months before it's show time. That makes things go so slow. Luckily, this week I'm in my 3rd trimester at last! Now I just need to get really busy and involved with stuff so that time flies by! We'll see how well that goes.

How exciting to be expecting a baby! 9 months is a long time to wait, but it's also nice to have that long to figure out how you're going to adjust your life to accommodate a baby. How nice to have an easy pregnancy! My first pregnancy was my easiest. By the way, I have a gift for you since I missed your shower. I will try to remember to give it to your mom to bring to you.
