Way Behind, Need to Catch Up

So I am a super slacker since it's been 2 1/2 months since the last post & so much has been going on. We are now officially at 39 weeks and still waiting. Still feeling good, but look more like a pregnant woman now. Not the most flattering picture, but probably the last one you're gonna see until the baby is born. Carson is getting anxious & really wants her to come out. He even put the car seat in the car so we don't have to worry about it. I have my bag packed & am just waiting.



I guess I'll go backwards from here to catch up on what's been going on.

March 27th, completed the nursery. It turned out so cute. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. We didn't have to paint or anything. Didn't really want to & don't know what our landlord would have said. Thank you Tanya for the wall hangings. They are so adorable! She has plenty of clothes & all of the other things are just waiting to be used when she comes.




On March 13th, I had a shower thrown by my in-laws. It was at the restaurant, but it was decorated so cute that it didn't look much like a mexican restaurant but more like a baby themed restaurant. I don't have pictures on my camera, so I'll have to post some later when I get them from my mother in-law. We got a lot of diapers at that shower since everyone that was invited got to participate in a raffle if they brought diapers. I can show you how many diapers we got. Quite a funny picture & I think we are set on diapers for awhile. We'll even have to take some back for different sizes. Yes that is the ceiling & I am 36 weeks in this picture. The diapers are now in the closet so the nursery could get done.




February 27th, attended a baby shower put on by my sisters at the Fairway Grill in St. George. I was so lucky to have all my sisters, my mom & my friend, Tanya come from California. I couldn't ask for better family & friends. It was beautifully decorated, the atmosphere was great & there was no cleanup. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, but it still turned out great. In fact every single shower that was thrown for me had raining weather. Go figure! Maybe she'll be born in the rain. I got a lot of great gifts for the baby including a swing from my mom, lots of clothese, & the travel system from my sisters. She has a special blanket made by Grandma & lots of toys & books to play with & read. I am 34 weeks at this point.










The first shower that was thrown for me & the baby was on February 6th & the Brooks put it on. Brook Brinkerhoff & Brook Flygare. Brinkerhoff hosted it at her house & ladies from the ward were invited. It was an open house shower so people could come & go as they pleased. We had all sorts of cookies to munch on that were yummy & milk. The decorations were ladybugs since her nursery is ladybugs & I had a very fun time. Thank you for those that came. It was my first experience opening baby gifts & pulling out all the girly outfits & baby stuff. Something I will get used to as the weeks move on. I would have been 31 weeks back then.


















So that about sums up what's been going on since the last post. I'm still working at the restaurant & have an official 5 days until my due date. It won't be long now!

Happenings of the Hunts

So I guess we need to update our blog a little more often than every 10 months. Hopefully we will be better at it. This is my first post as Carson has done most of the blogging, so I'm going to give it a try.

The reason for today's post is so that everyone can see our baby girl. We had a 2nd ultrasound today to make sure her heart was in good condition because they couldn't get a good picture from the 1st ultrasound. While we were doing the medical part, we decided to have a 3D version done. It's quite amazing what they can do now with images from an ultrasound. So here are some pictures of her at 29 1/2 weeks or a little over 7 months. The first one is a profile of her about to suck in her thumb. Many of the pictures we got of her were with her hand in her mouth. Orthodontics here we come! The second picture is more of a front shot and the third just cracks me up. She has the biggest smile and is waving at you. She might have her dad's personality from that picture, but she was pretty shy & didn't want her picture taken most of the time while we were having the ultrasound done. So who knows which one of us she'll take after.




We are also clearing out the room where the nursery is going to go because we received our crib the other day & have a dresser coming as well. Carson had fun putting it together & it looks amazing. Once we get all the decorations, it will look better, but here's the crib.




The restaurant is doing better this month after a few slow months and is definitely keeping us busy. Hopefully things will continue to get better. It seems like restaurants are dropping like flies here in St. George. We have a good following from our customers during lunch time and really appreciate their patronage. We changed our hours in October so now we're open for lunch & dinner rather than breakfast & lunch. Dinner hasn't quite caught on, but we are keeping our hopes high.


P.S. Here is me at a little over 7 months as well. Still hardly showing.

P.S.S. So I'm not sure how often I'll be posting things because this one took me 2 hours to do. Nae I might be calling you for advice. :)

P.S.S.S. I know many are wondering if we have a name yet and the answer to that is no. We have some picked out, but nothing definitive yet.
