Oh my heavens!
Get this. I could have a wonderful baby in my arms in as little as 2 weeks and at the very most 6 weeks.
We're pretty set on... 3 or 4 weeks haha . There is no way I'm going to let this baby go overdue.
I've been over to stu and janae's house about once a week to see them and to check out that cute little newborn and I am just dying to meet my handsome little man!
(we really do hope we aren't the only ones who think he's handsome)
so basically I had the most wonderful last week ever!
I went down to salt lake on saturday morning and had a wonderful baby shower with my mom's side of the family. We are really blessed on that side to be close with most decendents of my great-great grandparents.
So when we all get together and pool our money from how many sides (we're the ray dimond family who is my great grandfather, so imagine how many people we have on each side) we are able to get together wonderful presents that don't cost a whole lot to each person donating :)
Needless to say we got such amazing things for little porter that will make our life so much easier! Not to mention the quilt my great aunt made which is so spectacular!
Also not only did I get to see so many fun memebers of the family that I don't normally get to see, I got to spend time with my dad, Jane, j-man, and Emily who is visiting for the month from scotland! I love that I have a little sister but man I hate that I only get to see her once a year.
The next day I went to my old home ward and saw so many fun faces that I've missed so much and it's been crazy to see how much the kids grew up!
While i was down there I got to see some great old friends Daniel Hoopes, Joey Heath, and cute Rachel Evans (soon to be rachel heath )
Poor drew was working all weekend so I made the trip myself.
then we had a really fun shower with Drew's mom's family yesterday It's always fun to get everyone together and Port got some awesome stuff there as well! There was even a toy Drew's aunt hand made and man it's flipping amazing.. I seriously am going to put up a picture of some of his booty items :)
later
Anyways. We've been trying to clean the house and get his room all done and clean now that we have everything! We're all set for him to come (but not until he's ready) and so you know the doctor officially said he's head down so no worries at all! yey! (she did say i'm measuring small but I think that's silly because I don't feel small at all)
Well I weigh in at about 139 This week :) Oh and I found out how many inches my.. waist is (the biggest part around my bellybutton) it's 38 inches :)
Porter is about as heavy as a honeydew melon weighing in around 5.25 to 5.5 lbs and he's "more than 18 inches long)
He's in sturdy wake and sleep patterns which is mostly true except he's woken pretty easily in the morning, He's just gaining weight still and practicing breathing with those little lungs to get them ready to come out and breathe on his own! those lungs are the last to be ready but they do an important job. so besides that he's good come meet us the second those are done cooking! it's like a cake, the insides and the fluff are the last to be ready before you take it out of the oven!
Honeydew :)
ps. it totally looks like i have one of those under my shirt... it's hillarious
