Blessings!

Today I took a second to stop all of the craziness to realize how blessed we are. Life has been crazy lately and it feels I havn't even had time to breathe. I was feeling overwhelmed with preparing for the baby, starting a new position at work, and trying to sell our house, all while feeling so big and tired. But, we truely are so blessed for all of the great opportunities we have and that we are so busy and that we have family, who seem to always be there for us. We are so blessed to be having a baby soon and that all seems well and healthy. I feel so grateful for everyones help with preparing for her, she truely is the most spoiled baby already! And most of all, I feel so blessed to have such a supportive, fun and helpful husband and family. Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to in May (besides Work, work, work!).

Britt took me for a much needed pedicure today. We had a good laugh as they ripped me off. I had never had a pedicure before and boy does every little thing add up. ha.

Porter and I went to Birthing classes on Friday and Saturday. Again, we had some good laughs as "Coach Caldwell" (Porter) taught me how to breathe. Everyone was so serious but I couldn't help but squeal a few times. :) Hopefully it will be helpful though.

Aaron shared his D-backs tickets with us. Again, family taking care of us.

I love my Mom. She NEVER stops going. We went to Snowflake a few weeks ago and in one day we canned chicken, beef, butter, planted flowers, and planted her whole garden. I don't think I saw her sit down once all day. She is always doing her best to follow the Prophet and the teachings of the church even if it means planting your garden in cardboard boxes :) Love you Mom!!!!

Mom and Dad working another section of their lovely garden :) We loved spending time with you guys.

So many times we place so much emphasis on the things that are crazy in our lives that we don't sit down and really think about everything we are blessed with. Thanks for the reminder.
Well you're still looking great! What an exciting time of life! I'm impressed you were able to convince Porter to go to the birthing classes. John just flat out told me no. Ha ha, I guess we still survived.

You are looking so cute sis! I know you are ready to have this little girl though! I am getting so excited! Hang in there. It was a fun weekend.
love you tons!
p.s. I did not "take you" to get a pedicure since you wouldn't let me buy it! You are a little stinker! :)

How fun! You look darling too! Just a little basketball in that belly. Next pregnancy I'm going to be a little more careful of weight gain =) that's awesome that you guys went to birthing classes, I always wondered what those would be like and thought they would be fun. You'll do great, its not as scary as we all think our whole lives, you'll be SO ready to have the relief of the baby out of you by that time that the birth will be the easiest part of the whole pregnancy. Good luck!

Way to go Dom. I am glad you got a day to pamper yourself! By the way, genious idea with the garden in boxes. Maybe I will have to get together with your mom so I can have a garden too!
