I’m sitting here and it’s already 2 in the afternoon, and my hair is still wet and up in a towel, I’m in my PJ's and have not one little bit of make up on... I’m such a VISION of loveliness! But instead of finally getting ready for the day, I'm going to do a quick post. Mostly for my sanity, because I have a million things to blog about and I will obsess about them all until I do it. One reason I blog is that it's kinda a journal for me, and it’s a good way to get my thoughts out... and it’s kinda a social outlet. Lame I know... It’s been nice being close to my family again after being in California and Texas for so long, but finding my "groove" here has been rough. We are kinda finally getting settled though... sort of... ANYWAY....... Our weekend, it was FABULOUS! I love Thanksgiving. I love having a whole day to just be with family and remember all the things I'm thankful for. Cory and I got 2 days of Thanksgiving. Wednesday we went to my Aunt Terri's and had a yummy, yummy dinner and hung out and played games. I love my family so much. Then Thursday Cory and I drove up to Idaho to have Thanksgiving with his family. It was so nice to see everyone; we don't get to see them very often. There was more yummy, yummy food, and we had so much fun playing with all our nieces and nephews. We are also trying to get ready for Hayden to come. We ripped down old wallpaper and sanitized everything and have started painting... well I haven't but Cory and my brother Trav have. It's been quite the process. I can't wait till the rooms are finished, especially Hayden's nursery... I'll probably cry.
But we had a fabulous, busy weekend. I also got the best surprise ever this Thanksgiving week from my best friends in California. I will blog about that tomorrow probably, and yes there are pictures I will post from this sweet package. It was a "baby shower in a box." That’s all I am gonna say for now.
Now I'm off to at least get half way ready. I'm also trying to get addresses together for my baby shower here. It always takes so much longer than I think it will! It's gonna be an open house deal on the 13th. With yummy treats and me in all my roundness glory! I would love to see everyone’s happy, beautiful faces that can come. :) I also want to get together another day for a "girl's day" sometime before my little guy gets here. Anyone interested?

Its almost turkey time!
Holy smokes! Time goes by so fast, it’s already almost Thanksgiving. Yay! I'm so excited to get together with all my family and of course all the Thanksgiving accessories. Turkey, mash potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls, pie! YUM! I figured before Thanksgiving I better do a quick update post....
First of all I saw Twilight on Friday at 8. I loved it! My sweet husband came home from work and says, "I think we should go on a date on Friday." I just said, "Ok..." thinking ok awesome, this is random but whatever and asked what we were gonna do. He says, "Oh I think we should see Twilight." I started laughing cause ever since I started reading the books and seeing the movie trailers I'm slightly obsessed and he just rolls his eyes at me and would say how ridiculous the movie looks. So I did not think he was serious. I kinda blew him off about it, and asked what we were really gonna do. And he says, "No really, I already bought the tickets on the way home from work. We are going Friday at 8." I think I told him to shut up a few times as my jaw hit the floor as he tried to convince me until he had to throw down 2 tickets. He is so sweet, he totally surprised me! He knew I really wanted to see it and he just wanted to be with me doing something he knew I would really love!
But I really liked the movie, I'd see it again if anyone is interested and will probably buy it when it comes out. We had sweet seats, in the middle section, in the middle...Of course the books are a WAY better, but I thought it was a pretty good for spin off on a book even with some of the corny parts(like "hold on spider monkey.." what the heck was that? I busted up laughing) But I still love Twilight and I still love Edward. Cory even said the movie was, "ok." I think he is only saying its "ok" because really he is a "CLOSET TWILIGHTER" and he really liked the movie too, but he can't say so 'cause his friends would make fun of him. It’s ok dear, I understand, our secret....
Saturday was the BYU vs. U of U game... Which was a complete TRAGEDY! Well really, I honestly didn't care either way who won. But Cory LOVES BYU! It's quite the obsession, which I can't explain thoroughly enough in this little, quick post. But just know that it’s big enough that he wants to have Hayden's very first outfit be a BYU onesie or something so that a love for BYU can be instilled from the beginning like his daddy. Also we have a radius that we have to live in within the BYU stadium so he can still go to the games...He's nuts, but I love him. So when BYU lost Saturday, terribly... and Max Hall alone had 6 turnovers, he was anything but happy. But he’s ok now; the sting of losing is slowly going away. And he will patiently be waiting for next year.
We had a really nice weekend hanging out together. I have a wonderful husband and I am so thankful for him. Hayden is kicking away in my belly, and having quite the party in there. I don’t get much sleep anymore, ever…at all… But I guess its good practice for when I will be up feeding and changing him in the middle of the night. I think I’m kinda grouchy though because I’m so sleep deprived so sorry everyone. It also doesn’t make my brain function at full speed so again… so sorry. I’m 34 weeks today! Travis, my little brother, says he’s been praying extra hard every night that I have Hayden on Dec. 10th. That’s Trav’s birthday, he will be 17! I don’t think Hayden will come quite that early, but who knows… we will see I guess. That means I only have 14 days left…crazy!
I love this time of year so much :) I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

The going private movement....
(I am going to keep this blog at the top til I make "the switch," so I can try and make sure I get everyones email and what not...So scroll down for new blogs below)
I have been so so soooo reluctant to go private. Mostly because of my own stubbornness....I also think that sometimes I'd rather stay naive to how yucky the world really is. My mom has been reminding me to always be safe as well, and has asked me about going private. I have been very stubborn about not doing the whole private thing…..But then KSL has "the news story," on blogging.
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=4699330
It watched it and it made me so irritated! Blogging is such a fun way to journal and get and stay in touch with old friends and family. I hate that there are such nasty, creeper creepersons out there that can turn such a good thing into something yucky and scary. But I agree with everyone else that is going through this movement, "Safety first..." So needless to say, I am joining this ever growing private movement....
Please leave me your email so I can add you, or my email is 86.megan@gmail.com. I think I will do it at the end of next week sometime. It's all such a pain to have to do all this, but I don't want to have to worry about some yucky, creepy, gross someone learning too much about me and my family.
Sorry about my ranting soap box of a post... I will have happier posts to come :)
Love you all!

Gigi Blanki Giveaway and Birthing Classes
GIVEAWAY
babywearsprada.com is doing a great giveawat for a matching Gigi Blanki and Drooli set! They have such cute patterns and textures you can choose from to make your own blanket. It's a pretty sweet deal...check out http://www.babywearsprada.com/ or just CLICK HERE to get it on this giveaway :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This weekend Cory and I went to or birthing class from 9am-3pm!! Thank goodness we got like a 45 min lunch break somewhere in the middle... and potty breaks for all the girls there. It really wasn't too bad. I was worried I would have some Mother Earthy lady teaching it that is only for going natural and such... because I am TERRIFIED of the whole labor thing, and am planning on getting an epidural. But the lady that taught our class was really cool. She taught the couples some hecka fabulous pressure points that help sooo much with the new pressure that has started on my hips and lower back. They are so wonderful and apparently really help with labor pains; we will see I guess... But then with the rest of the girls who aren't going natural she was very reassuring that anything that they were to give us that it would not hurt the baby and they are there to help us and it’s ok to ask for pain meds when you need them. It is also ok or normal to hate everyone in the "transition phase," because that’s natural. So when crazy, psychotic woman comes out during that part of labor, I'm "normal," awesome! She also talked a lot about the epidural, which I was so glad because that part is pretty scary to me. I'm not afraid of needles at all, but have you SEEN that thing?!? It's HUGEGANTIC! I'm still a little afraid of that but at least now I'm more informed on how it goes in and how everything goes down with the epidural... So all in all the whole class was really informative and I liked it. I liked it and feel a little less apprehensive about the whole epidural, labor, and hospital deal. I am a total control freak and I like to know exactly what is going on and what to expect. I loved the tour of the hospital. I'm delivering at Ogden Regional and I am so so glad. I really like the rooms and all the nurses seemed really nice.
Cory did really great during the whole class too. I thought some of it was gonna kinda scare him a little or totally gross him out. But nope, he was fine through the whole thing.... Well...except for the delivery of the placenta, which grossed him out quite a bit. But he was really great as usual; he has been so helpful my entire pregnancy. Especially this last part when I wake up anywhere from 2-4 times a night because I am dying from heart burn and reflux, I'm so totally stuffy I can't breathe, or my usual bathroom breaks. He is so sweet and helpful. I really appreciate him; he will be a great dad.
So as you can tell no prego pictures yet, I always forget.... seriously, this little boy is stealing all my brain cells. He better be pretty smart, but his poor mother might be close to brain dead. I don't remember anything, my memory is shot and I swear my brain isn't running on at full speed. But I will set my camera out today so when Cory gets home from work he can take a few of my ever growing belly. :)

Dr. appointment and giveaways and such...
I had a Doctor check up today. It was the same as always....
sign in, wait, get called back...
get weighed again(UGH)..don’t look don’t look don’t look, crap...I looked(bigger UGH)..
pee in the cup, wait...
get called back, blood pressure..
measure my ever growing tummy and listen to my little guys heart beat...
So everything is normal, and my Doctor said everything is going great. Phew... I always am a little bit anxious before appointments. I just want Hayden to be ok. But my blood pressure is good, and Hayden's heart beat is good. My kidney infection is gone but the tube is still kinked by his feet so my kidney will stay the same till I deliver... at least it’s not any worse. I really didn't want to be admitted. I love my OB he definitely knows his stuff and is always willing to answer my questions.
Thanks for all your encouragement and stuff about my poor swollenness.... I'm SOO glad it will go away. And it’s only like 8 more week’s right? I can do that...
Tomorrow Cory and I go to our "birthing class/hospital tour," at Ogden Regional, Dun Dun DUNNN! I don't really know what to expect...it’s from 9am-3pm; it will be a super long day. I figure it will be super informative and might ease my nerves, but I'm not terribly excited about it. I’ll let you all know how it goes. I think everyone probably should go to at least one in their life.
And for those of you that have requested Prego pictures of me... I guess I will try and get those up soon.... Sometime this weekend possibly, so everyone start preparing yourselves....

I have so many blessings and this is such a great time of year to remember them. Shannon gave this time of year an awesome name I'm totally adopting, "inbetweener" time of year. I think it’s awesome! I love the time of year between fall and winter and now I have a hecka sweet name for it.
Everyone have an awesome, relaxing, fun weekend! And prepare yourself for some possibly frightening pictures of my preggoness....
