Where did all these kids come from?

Here are some pictures of last weekend when I was down in Salt Lake for my cousins funeral. Although it was a very sad reason for all of us to get together it sure reminded me how great my family is. I love them all so much and it is so neat to watch their little kids grow. Pictured here are some of the fun we had just kickin' it in the hotel and spending time together. I think my favorite part about the weekend was watching Cody and Ami play together. I captured a classic moment when Cody is seconds away from being drooled on. The look on Cody's face is priceless and you can see the droplet falling out of Ami's mouth. The other pictures include Carson being very intrigued with my tummy and especially with trying to figure out where my belly button went to. I wish we all lived closer to each other so these hang outs could be on a weekly basis and not every few months. I also got to see my cousins who I love dearly. Andrea is always so much fun to be around and I hadn't seen Nicole for years! The drive down was uncomfortable as I presumed it would be and sleeping at the hotel turned out to be not so bad due to the fact that there was an ice machine that I used to ice my wrists. I've had a couple of doctors visits and they continue to have no suggestions for me on how to ease the pain of my carpel tunnel. I did however get my doctor to agree to inducing me a week early if this doesn't let up. I know the benefits of just letting the baby come but I just don't know how much more of this I can take. It helps to be around the cute kids of other people so I can see how worth it this whole thing is. I'm being thrown a baby shower tomorrow from the Browers and I can't wait. I'm going to go to the hair salon and have them do my hair (since I can't do my own with hands as numb as I have) so I'll be able to look the best that a preggie possibly can. I'll be sure to include pictures in the next post. my tummy routinely gets tight and hard with what I assume to be Braxon Hicks and that only leads me to hope more and more that he's getting closer to coming. It's hard to remember that he's just going to come when he's ready and that there is nothing I can do to speed up the process. A dumb part of me is so excited to have him so I can have a month break from work. How dumb is that reasoning? I get the feeling that he is going to be far from the "break" I'm expecting to get :) Well that about does it for my update. Expect more pictures in the next blog and pray that I don't go into labor tonight. Cody is down in Pocatello tonight so it would be very bad timing on the baby's part. Miss you all!
