Ready for our boy to come!!

Due date is in exactly 2 weeks! I am so so so so so excited! We have everything ready for him except for putting the car seat in the car but Ben wants to do that after he cleans it. :) Thanks again to everyone who has helped us get ready for him! I'll keep you all posted when he arrives :)

I love life.

I took this picture yesterday and I just love it.

The End.

50 days left!

Reagan will be here in 50 days! (yes we decided on a name) You say Reagan like President Reagan. Some people have been saying it really weird ways so that has been the easiest way to describe it. He is getting so big! We had an appointment last wednesday and the doctor said his head is finally down. I can now feel his little feet up in my ribs. His kicks still don't really hurt but sometimes he will kick me or stretch in a spot that I just have to go... OUCH! but thats okay :) Doctors always say he is very active which is good and his heartbeat is still super strong so I am grateful for the kicks. He already seems to have such a personality. He is super stubborn and he loves his dad already. He gets excited whenever he hears his voice and Ben says he's the favorite but I'm sure I am the favorite. We technically have 7 weeks until his due date but the doctor says I am measuring ahead and my mom had all of us kids early so they think he will come sooner. I am totally okay with that idea :) We go to the doctor on the 15th and then the 29th and then after that we go every week until he comes. It's getting so close and I can hardly wait. Now I just wish my crib was here! My sweet in laws got us one for my baby shower and it's still in Richfield. I just want it here so I can get the bedding all ready and the saying I'm making up on the wall. His nursery is also our guest bedroom so it won't be strictly just a baby room but it looks so cute in there even if I can't paint it and make it perfect.

On to other things...... Ben has been working sooooooo much lately. I now officially hate him working in retail at Christmas time. I've always heard people say how crazy it can be but I had no idea it would be this bad. Its okay though! Come January I will have my husband back :) As for me I feel fine which is good because I'm cleaning the house and getting baseboards and all of that fun stuff done. I did it a few months ago but it's time to get it all done again before I'm to huge to lean over haha :) Oh and I'm washing his receiving blankets and the onezies. I'm not sure if its really necessary to wash things but he will have sensitive skin i'm sure so I figured its a good idea.

I am so excited for Christmas! My house is decorated but I don't have presents bought haha. I'm a little bit of a slacker and I can't decide what to get people. Sorry I am just rambling. I really don't have anything exciting to say. Hopefully next time I post I will know when Reagan is coming :)

One of my favorite parts about Christmas...

Yes I love The Grinch. I think the movie and cartoon and book are all fabulous. I have already watched the movie twice this month and I love it more every time I see it. Yes, it's a bit of an obsession but oh well. I even helped my mom decorate her tree this year and I talked her into buying new bright colorful decorations... her tree is fabulous! It looks like something you would find in whoville. Everyone who has seen it LOVES it. :) I'm glad I got her to do it because it really is soooo cute. Someday when I have a house and room for it my tree will be cool like that. The end.

Ah ha! He has a schedule!

I have finally figured out baby's schedule. BUT! It already gets screwed up when his dad is home. Right now when it's just me at home I feel him move about every 3 hours and around lunch time I feel him every hour. But No matter what time Ben comes home and he hears his voice my stomach starts moving like crazy! I guess he really does like Ben more than me.

So thankful!

I had my first baby shower in Fillmore on Saturday and I had so much fun. We played some games and they were actually fun games and the guests got a prize. I sucked at most of the games but oh well it was fun. Sammie did such a good job. I'm so grateful for Kim for helping and all my family that helped. I am so blessed. Thank you to the friends that came! I'm so glad that you did.

Baby Chappell (yes he is still nameless) got spoiled! So many cute things and I love em all. After I got home from the shower I got to show off everything to my in laws which magically appeared at my door step and it was so fun. Then after dinner I got to show it all off to Ben again. I love it! Right now the stuff is all piled up in my living room. Ben and I are going to get the extra room cleaned out on wednesday and then we will have room for baby stuff. Also my amazing mother made the changing table and it's darling and then today we found a dresser on ksl for 45 bucks and were going to paint it black to match! I will post pictures later this week when my mom comes up and helps me make a cute room :)

Thanks again everyone!!!!

Little projects :)

Yesterday I decided we needed some football stuff for the baby and I looked online for Texas and Utes football clothing and I just think it's way to expensive for something he will grow out of so quickly. I might still get a few things I have found but for now I went to walmart and got these white onezies on sale :) and found a little bit of orange and red fabric and ta da Baby has football clothes :) Now I just need some pants haha.

I was going to put chappell on the back of the texas ones too but after doing one in red with those teeny tiny letters I decided against it :) Ben says it needs a number on the back so I guess we will have to pick on and then I can add it.

Ben's still hard at work. He is so busy running two stores that I feel like he's never home. I wish I had a job to keep me busy but instead I am a stay at home wifey that has done a lot of scrapbooking and blanket making. I am now just over 27 weeks! 90 more days left until the due date :) I had my glucose test next wednesday and I am not excited for it at all. They gave me the little drink at my last appointment and told me to drink it an hour before my appointment and it looks really yucky. Next Saturday (nov 6th) I have a baby shower in Fillmore and I am so so so stinkin excited. I love getting little baby stuff :) It's all just so cute.
