Baby Update

May is here!! Yeah! We are getting excited for our new little arrival. I am currently 36 1/2 weeks along... due on May 26th. So the countdown is coming to an end. My pregnancy has been going really well! I cannot complain. I am just starting to 'feel' pregnant. Other than some occasional swollen feet, few aches & pains, I have been in good health. I am not very big yet... I have only gained about 15 pounds so far :) {Which I could have easily done over the holidays if I wasn't pregnant} The doctor believes we will go right up to my due date because there is not a reason to come early.

Names you may ask??? Well... that is a problem. {Gavin is still holding out hope for a little boy... so NO girl's names sound good to him} We are working on it & hopefully she has one before she comes home from the hospital. It might take a few days to fight that one out! :)

We have almost got the nursery ready... We have also had 2 baby showers & were very blessed with great friends & family who filled this little gals closet with lots of clothes & needed items. Here are some fun pics of the much appreciated items!

Yes... all those bins are FULL of fun, girly stuff :)

These quilts were crafted with much love from Grandma Welling & Aunt Jamie... I did buy matching material for the green & pink crib quilt to make a bed skirt, window valance & crib bumpers... so hopefully I can find time to get those done!!! It will all look so cute!!!



This is the crocheted blessing dress from Great-Grandma Winkler... I love it! {One of the exciting things about having a girl... I love grandma's dresses!}


This little woman will be very well dressed!!! Summer clothes are so super cute & everyone else must have thought so too, because her closet is full! Oh... and she will have LOTS of cute hair accessories! {Hopefully the occasional heartburn I am having = lots of hair like I had}



Lots of nicely crocheted receiving blankets...

The super-cute diaper cake!! It has lots of fun stuff tucked into it! I am also really excited to use my new 3-in-1 Swing, Bouncer & Toddler Rocker. {The rocker is only put together so far.} I love, love the idea of having 1 item be used for all & last a lot longer than just a swing!

So I think we are a lot closer to being ready for our little one! I hope work slows down a little for me when she arrives. I have been super-busy doing wedding invitations lately. But I am very blessed that I have been able to work from home the last year. I really do enjoy working for myself and hopefully it can continue a lot longer while I am raising some little ones!

July Travels

In July, we had reunions, parties or places to go every weekend. It was a blast. We had the 4th of July with the Welling Family, then we went with them to the Wight reunion at Beaver Mountain. The next weekend we went to Bear Lake for the Munns reunion. From there, 23 of us Munns' went on a road trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. It was so much fun! I then headed to San Diego to meet up with Gavin & his family for his cousins wedding. I am still collecting pictures from everyone (I am bad at taking my OWN photos.) But here is what I have so far.
We stopped at Martin's Cove & Independence Rock on the way through Wyoming. Some of us even hiked to the top of it.... including Makell!

Mt Rushmore at night. We stayed for the lighting ceremony at night. It was a neat & historical experience.
Crazy Horse Monument in the Black Hills. They have been working over 50 years on this monument. In about 50 more, it will be completed to look like the statue. We went back at night for the laser show on the mountain. It was neat. You can read more about it HERE.

I just noticed Anne & Roy posted their pictures of everything else we have been doing this summer on their blog.... Now I can just link you there!

AH... SUMMER!

This summer flew by! We moved back into the condo with new carpet & paint. I love it... especially my new office! :) Gavin is done with school!!! YEAH!!!!!!!! Congrats Gavin! He has to wait until December to walk in Graduation, so it is almost official. It is so nice to have school done for both of us. Maybe we can start a new chapter soon!

In June I went to Boston with my mom & sister to visit Amanda... Here are a few of the fun pics! We made it to a Boston Red Sox Game... it was AWESOME!! What a fun atmosphere!!!
