Oh So Pregnant

So today marks my 38th week being pregnant. I can't believe I could have this baby at any time (technically). I love feeling Luke move inside of me, he is really active and almost hurts me. He pushes on me so hard sometimes and it kind of makes me jerk and wince. I have been pretty comfortable for a long time but just in the last week I feel like when I do too much then my body just almost shuts down. So now I am really wishing that I could be induced next week on the 5th instead of waiting for my Mom and everyone else to be here.
My due date is the 10th and my Mom doesn't come until the 11th. Adam prefers me to have the baby on the 12th because he doesn't want to have to go negative in his hours. Also Tiersa is out of town until the 12th in the evening. Collette goes out of town on the 14th, so basically if I don't have this baby on the 13th SOMEONE will be out of town. Which really stinks. I am really hoping that I am just going to go into labor on my own SOON, then I can't have anyone angry with me.
I have so much to do still though so two more weeks would be nice just to tie up loose ends. Here are some pics of the belly with 2 weeks left to go.

Adam hates that I always insist on taking 15 pictures even though I only need one, so I played it up like a photo shoot for him... I know I could never be a model cuz I feel and look silly posing.

Little stories

Okay, so I finally got around to getting a picture of this baby belly. This is me at 34 weeks pregnant with our #3 baby. He is so active and so hurty sometimes. I love to feel him kicking around unless it means he is kicking some vital organ of mine. Kevin and Katie are so excited about baby Luke and talk to my belly most every day.
I am now 36 1/2 weeks and can't believe how fast time has gone. I went to the doctor yesterday for my check up and so far I have only gained 15 pound this pregnancy which is GREAT!! I hate being a little overweight when I start my pregnancy, so I am glad my body doesn't blow up like a balloon when I am expecting. I think I gained the last 5 of those pounds just in the last week. I have opened the sweet tooth door and can't seem to shut it now. Ironic that I made it through the holidays without gaining a pound and now I am eating junk for no reason. I don't even like it that much I just keep telling myself that I do.


Funny little story... Katie has officially moved from her crib to her big girl bunk bed and she LOVES it. I have to admit she has done extremely well and her and Kevin go right to sleep every night. We have even tried both of them in there for naps and we have been successful both times. She has this mind set now that she is a big girl and when I slip and call her baby she corrects me. I was telling her not to do something the other day and used the phrase "no no baby" she strutted up to me and hit my belly while she said "Top it Baby Uke"!! She had no clue that I was telling HER to stop something, she thought I meant that baby Luke was kicking me inside. I couldn't stop laughing. I do know however that when this baby comes she is going to seem GIANT to me and calling her baby will be a thing of the past.
Other than the baby on his way and getting ready for him, we finally bought a couch that both of us agree on, the kids just got over a mild case of Pneumonia, and Adam has changed base offices so he gets to work more from home. We are happy, healthy and anxious for baby Luke to come.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
Can I just say how blessed I am. I love love love my husband. I am so grateful that he chose me to spend eternity with. He sure helps me make really cute kids too. I just can't get enough of my cuties. We are excited to see what Baby Luke looks like and what sort of personality he will have.

OUR NEW VAN

It is OFFICIAL... I am a mini van Mom. I never ever ever thought I would be excited to drive a minivan, but OH MY GOSH I love it so much.
It came in perfect time because we found it on Saturday and had to wait till Tuesday for funds to come through (our bank is in Utah) and on Sunday night our transmission went out in our Sonata (the car I drive).
We also get to have a sweet ride up to St. George for Christmas. We are so blessed.
The guy who sold it to us is a minister in another church and doesn't have any kids and when we were about to drive away he said "Well, go fill it up with lots of kids, use it for what a minivan was made for".... I guess we're working on it.

I LOVE FAMILY

Okay who else agrees with me... HOLIDAYS can be so HECTIC especially when you have 6 chiefs and no Indians to follow the chiefs. Oh well, it was definitely more WONDERFUL than it was hectic and I am so glad we were able to all be together.
We even managed to get a picture with all of the Vaughn Stuart posterity (except Kaden... he was camping and we were running out of time).
I can't help but laugh at the funny picture!!!

Halloween Fun

We had so much fun over the Halloween weekend. Our besties from Cedar came down with their two little "things" to spend some quality time together.

We went to the train park on Saturday morning and we all had a blast. We were all kind of tired when we got home... especially the twins.



We went to our ward's trunk or treat on Saturday and sadly I forgot to get pics of my kiddos... :(... But the twins were "Thing 1" and "Thing 2"... they were the hit of the party.





Having fun trick or treating. We got way too much candy.
We LOVED hanging with you guys and hope it becomes an annual Halloween trip. You have to admit it's the PERFECT trick or treating weather here in AZ.

Happy Birthday Kevin

We had such a fun day today for Kevin's Birthday. We had a birthday breakfast with his cousins and then opened presents.
He got 4 airplanes from his cousin Anthony which were the hit of the day with all the kids!!Then we took all the kids to the train park and road TWO trains and the carousel. Kevin has been obsessed with tying things up lately so Grandma and Grandpa Endsley bought him a bunch of caribiners and rope, with a custom sherrif's badge to match. Here he is tying the "bad guy" to the "ship" (the unfinished bunk bed). He got this present later in the day but it was definitely his favorite.

The Deal Is...

I have a friend who recently went private on her blog as well and she hit on a point of why she hates private blogs...which I TOTALLY agree with and am stealing her idea from. Once you go private you cannot see when people update. So I am following in her footsteps (thanks Janell) I am keeping my old blog address open so you can see when I update. Also so that if anyone missed my blog invite or finds me through some sort of search engine and wants to view the real blog just leave a comment below and I will invite you.

We found out what we are having...

It's a BOY!!!
It was clear as day that the next baby Endsley will be a rambunctious little boy. He was moving ALL over the place. His hands were in his mouth then up by his head then back to his mouth then down on his leg then back to his head. He was twisting all around and got the hiccups at least once I think it might have been twice. He is so active. We sure are in for it.
So we have a name in mind, but want to know what you think would go well with Kevin and Katie.
I still can't believe it's a boy. I don't think it will set in for a few weeks but I am so glad to finally be able to call him a HE rather than an IT.

WHAT ARE WE HAVING??

Okay put in your guess over on the right... BOY or GIRL??
