Guess Who's Back???

So why I have fallen into my bad blogging ways I don't know. I really need to keep up on things so that I don't feel so behind! A lot has been going on lately! Surprisingly this summer has been going super fast! I thought it would just drag on and on since I'm big and prego. I can't believe it's halfway through July! Here's a little update on what we've been up to! The end of April Cade, Chase, Sara and I all went and hiked Angels Landing in Zion, and it was such a beautiful hike! The view from the top was breath taking and so worth the strenuous climb! I couldn't believe how my motherly instincts kicked in as I was climbing, I normally wouldn't have thought twice about being too careful, but this time I could only think of the little girl inside me that would also be affected if I were to slip and fall. I love that she was able to join me on the hike but she did make it much more difficult! In May, Cade and I decided we should go on a baby moon, and we didn't really care where, we just wanted to go anywhere with a beach and anywhere warm. We decided to go to Maui, HI and it was a great choice! We absolutely loved this place, it was just what we needed to get away from the crazy weather that was going on here in Utah. It is such a beautiful island and we had tons of fun and were able to just relax. We went to a Luau and had the best food and entertainment we have ever seen! We drove the road to Hana, and we got to go to the volcano site. Our hotel was amazing, and we just hung out at the beach too. We also had the best shaved ice in the whole world! I was amazed at how delicious it was! Overall it was a great trip and was much needed before our little bundle of joy arrives. In June we went to Lehi for the Lehi round up rodeo and for the baby shower that my mother-in-law had for me. It was a way cute shower, and I got so many cute things! All the Cooper girls went in on a stroller/carseat combo I picked out and I absolutely love it! We only have a few more things to buy before we are completely ready for her to come!
It's weird how much pregnancy affects every little aspect of my life, I realized I have taken the little things for granted such as riding in a car for 3 hours and never even having to stop once. On the trip to Lehi we had to stop for me to pee, then we had to stop when my legs and back were stiff and cramped! I start sweating with such little exertion it is embarrassing. I can't bend over standing up, I have to do a squat to pick things up off the floor or tie my shoes. Needless to say I'm feeling very pregnant! We have also been over to Kanab for a couple more ultra sounds and I can't believe how big she is! I am 33 weeks and 1 day today and so I have just over 6 weeks left!!! I can't believe how close I am. I never thought I would be this close and I'm starting to get really scared about the labor and delivery. I don't know if I'm ready! I start thinking about the epidural not working or maybe having an emergency C-section or just having a super long and painful labor and it freaks me out a bit! I can only hope for the best and pray everything goes well! My baby is the size of a pineapple right now and that comparison alone makes me think about the damage that will be done to the area down there!! So yesterday I went to have my 2 wisdom teeth pulled and they could only pull one because the top one wasn't grown in enough. Throughout the extraction the dentist kept saying, "You're doing so good, labor will be a piece of cake, you tolerate pain really well!" I laughed in my head because for one, it isn't just a tooth being pulled it's a baby! And second they had so much stuff in my mouth there was no way to make the agonizing sounds I wanted to make! No, it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and I wish labor would be that easy. For some good news, I picked out the baby's crib bedding with my friend Sherrie the other day and I could not believe the deal I got! It is super cute and it was way cheaper than I expected, so I made up for it by buying the baby more clothes and bedroom accessories! Cade doesn't understand my logic but it makes sense in my mind! I can't wait to set up her little bedroom as soon as we get the crib down to Cedar! Well I will definitely try to update my blog more frequently but I very easily could have the baby before my next update!! Wish me luck!
