Yes thats right people, this one is not moving out anytime soon! I'm 4 days over and it feels like forever. I'm getting a little stir crazy, and can't sleep at all! I'm totally getting contractions and lost the plug, but other than that nada. Ah feels good to vent a little. My appointment is on Wednesday and she'll tell me what she thinks, but I'm hopeing he comes tonight! Wish me luck!

39 weeks

Oh my goodness I'm ready! I'm ready to meet this little man that I've been attached to for nine months. Even with less room in there he is still so active! My mom, dad, and nephew Luke got quite the show from him as he rippled across my belly with his bum or leg for a while.

When I went to the doc's on Wednesday she said I was at 1cm 50 % effaced. Its not very much, but I was so happy to hear something was happening! Greg and I are making all the preparations and deep cleaned the car to set up the car seat.

Greg is also very excited to meet this little man. He's so cute; he feels bad that the baby has less and less room in my belly, but wants the baby to go completely full term(to be healthy). Aww mixed emotions from daddy, I love him!

And so here is my last profile picture till I head into the hospital. Pretty in pink, ha! Or just big.


And to clarify, my due date is this Friday, and I'm just waiting till he comes, no induction plans for now!

Happy Anniversary!

Well we passed the four year mark of marriage, and it has flown by. I still feel like we are college students dating and having fun, but I guess my pregnant belly changes that picture. So lucky to have this man as we start our little famliy.


Happy New Year from the Swapps!

P.S. I got my first rude pregnancy comment, through the mouth of one of my primary kids. Her parents were wondering if I was having twins! Parents shut up around your kids!

37 weeks and things!

Ok here are some updates and family pictures!


Here is the baby blanket I knitted and laying on top is the onsie tie project that was easy, but took me forever to get done! Very happy with both.


We almost didn't get Ty and Ambyr in the picture...



But they caught up with us! P.S. don't have guys take the picture, poor Grace is totally hidden.


Here I am at 36.5 weeks. He is big!

It was nice to see Angela and Desiree!

30 weeks


I'm almost to 34 weeks now but I wanted to make sure I got my 30th week documented. Greg and I just went to our birthing class and it was great! I feel like it helped me put my birth into perspective, so it seems bearable. Greg knows all the little relaxing techniques, and I can't wait to put that to good use. I feel good because I solidified my birth plan, but I know that things can change and now I know where they might change and why. I'm still very nervous, but I feel a little better and I know I get a cute little guy on the other end of this! So I would reccommend a birthing class to everyone out there considering. Even Greg thought it was worth it!
I also wanted to share a little of our Thanksgiving. We had such a spiritually uplifting time with the family and made lasting memories. Ed and Jayne are starting their adventure in the Dominican Republic, and I'm so excited for them. We are so glad we got to spend time with them before they headed out, and can't wait till we can see them again. They are such wonderful parents and members of the church. They are great examples to Greg and I, and will be to our baby boy. We love and will miss them deeply.

Baby Shower!

Well I'm at 30 weeks now and my wonderful sister-in-law Ambyr, threw me a shower, with the help of my other sister-in -law, Allyson. Here are a few of the pictures.

Here is my mom and I, She did a lot for the shower as well.


This is one of my childhood friends Connie, She was so sweet to me and to my big belly! All the decor in the background was sewn by my sis-in -law, amazing!



So since I'm having a little man Ambyr's sister Hannah found these great mustaches for all our guests to take pictures in to celebrate my little man. I think we make these mustaches look good!

Tere, Ambyr's mom, Love her!


I don't know how Ben got in there, and his looks totally fake! : )



my mom and I





These are the two responsible for the cutest shower!




It was absolutley adorable and so sweet of them both, Love you guys!
P.S. I got the stomach bug that night and had to go to the ER to get fluids in me! terrible, but I'm much better now. At least the shower was great!
