UPDATE.....
YES, I am STILL Pregnant!!



Yep, that's right I am still pregnant. I had my appointment on Friday & there aren't really any changes going on. Today, I am 39 weeks & 3 days. My due date is this Saturday, January 30th. If I don't go on my own the doctor has scheduled me to be induced on February 4th. That's right that would be 2 days short of 41 weeks. I guess we will just have to see what happens. Chloe is just cozy & enjoying life I guess? I go in again this Friday so we'll see if anything changes??
As of right now I am still working my normal days. I figure I might as well to keep myself busy. Chase is probably so sick of cleaning. I am totally going through the "nesting" period. If I don't have her by this weekend I dare say we might spend the weekend cleaning again. Sorry Chase:( Besides that we are staying super busy. We're trying to have a bunch of "date nights" and "us" time before our lives change. We also had to speak in church last Sunday on Temples. I am so glad to have it over with. We also both have received callings. I am an assistant Librarian & Chase is an Elders Quorum Teacher. Life is definitely picking up for us. I am so thankful that we have each other, our wonderful families & our friends.
I will definitely keep you all updated. Hopefully the next post is of our precious little Chloe!!


CARD CLUB

For card club this month we made the cutest event books! This was probably one of my favorite projects, even though it was a lot of cutting. I finally finished mine & here is the final product. Thanks Liz for your help that night, I was having some serious pregnancy brain!!



Now I can keep track of all the important dates in our lives like birthdays, anniversaries & holidays & I can use it every year!!

This has been my other project. I made a book for Chloe that talks about the 9 months I was pregnant with her. I hope that she likes it? I figure it would be fun for her to look at it when she gets bigger. There are pictures of me & Chase & it talks about where we were in our lives & what was going on. I am still finishing the final touches but this is it for the most part. I still have lots I want to do for her nursery, we'll see how far I get? I still have a scrapbook to get started on & a calendar.



Early Valentines!!

Because Chase & I don't know when everything is going to happen I decided to surprise him with a little, early Valentines dinner. Chase has been the best support throughout this pregnancy. He has been so understanding & patient with me. I can't believe how emotional I have been & he hasn't complained once. When he got home from work I had a candle lit steak dinner ready with potatoes, rolls & asparagus. I think he was pretty impressed & didn't see it coming. I love surprises so I hope that he was surprised?? We ended the night by watching The Bachelor with some yummy valentine treats, churros, dipped strawberries & ice cream. If you can't tell I have had the worst sweet tooth lately. By the way I can't stand Vienna & Chase totally likes her, what do you guys think?




Thanks again Chase for everything. You're going to be the best dad! Everyone comments on your ability with kids. I can't wait to start this part of our life together.

Quick Peek at the Nursery!!

The nursery is just seconds away from being done. Chase & I have done a lot of it. Chase did all of the painting, trim, etc. It was his first time, he did great! The nursery is mostly pink & black with a little bit of GREEN. It will feel so much more real when she finally gets here!!



My friend & I put some vinyl together to put above the window. I love how it turned how, thanks so much Teresa.



Here is the crib with her name above it. I painted them and Chase hung them up for me!



Across from the crib is the changing table with a shelf above it. I used paper & mod podge to decorate them, I think it turned out pretty good. We're still waiting on pictures & shelves to hang so stay tuned.....

GOLFING CONESTOGA
MESQUITE, NV

Well, I have been trying to encourage Chase to get out & do fun things before our lives get really crazy & busy. Obviously Chloe will be here soon but Tax season is right around the corner as well.
So he has had a couple of golf outings & also went to a Jazz Game with a great friend, Craig Andersen (Pictures to Come).
This is a golf course that has only been open for a couple of months & Chase was super excited to golf it!!



Chase, Jake & cousin Chester



The golf course is so pretty!



Lucky me, I got to hang out with the guys!!



Mike, Chase, Chester & Jake


The Christensen Shower!!



Chase's family had a really cute shower for me & Chloe. Here is my cute mother-in-law, thanks for everything Chris, Meghann & Tara.



Me & Meghann



Thanks Tara for the cutest clothes, she'll definitely be styling!!



Chloe got her first swimsuit from Meghann, it's so stinkin cute!!



My mom spoiled Chloe with her blessing dress, shoes & bracelet!!


After the shower we decided to help ourselves to the yummy chocolate fountains. It was so yummy! Thanks again everyone for everything!! Chloe is already so spoiled!
