So much to be Thankful for...

I have spent time reading the new Ensign and reflecting on Christmas and also all I have been blessed with. Boston and I were sitting talking about how blessed we are. We have a great home, everything we need and MORE for this baby, the most amazing Family and Friends, we have each other and the Gospel. Who could as for more?

Knowing that I have been sealed to my husband and that our baby will be ours for Eternity is so comforting. Knowing I can see my family again if I live righteously and follow the path Christ has shown. Knowing that soon we will have a baby in our home. God and the way he created us is amazing. The way a human life can be created is glorious. Has it been easy no, but as I watch my sisters with their kids I know it will be worth it. I get a baby that I can love and teach and never have to send home:) It is all ours! I am gonna be a mom! I know it will not be easy. My mom and sisters will be getting phone calls of frustrations and a million questions (fair warning), but I am grateful to have the chance to raise one of heavenly father's children.

So Christmas is around the corner and I pray we all remember the true reason for Christmas... it is not what you get under the tree. It is celebrating the life of our brother and saviour Jesus Christ. It is about giving and loving all. If we all carried the true meaning of Christmas all year long the world would be a better place. Find someone who is in need. Watch for those who are struggling and need a helping hand. Instead of getting into the hustle and bustle of wrapping gifts and running from store to store. Look around you and all the amaizing things you have. Look at your families make memories and traditions that will be with them forever. Don't loose sight of what Christmas is all about and only look at the worldly aspect of it. I love you all and wish you the best life has to offer. Remember why you celebrate Christmas... is it for the presents or is it to remember the amazing birth and life of Christ?

Love you all!

Baby and Veterans

First I want to take a moment to publicly thank first my Grandpa Bowers for fighting in World War II. Thank you for perserving our freedoms we have today. Second thank you to all those who have served and currently serve this Country. Thank you for leaving your homes and families so that I can live with the freedoms I have today. Words can not express the gratitude I feel for all you and my prayers are with you. THANK YOU!!!

Second we had an ultrasound on Monday then we had my Dr appointment today. They said with how the baby is and with the results of the ultrasound the baby would be approximately around 7lbs 5 oz at 40 weeks. As far as their growth curve was showing. The baby dropped a little over the past few weeks so is putting even more pressure on my bladder. So yeah for the porcelain toilet. I can imagin being a pioneer and walking mile after mile being pregnant and having to pee all the time. I can't imagine having to walk so many miles even not pregnant. How grateful I am for those strong women. I must say that I it makes me feel bad for complaining. I have it quite easy. So we are in the waiting stages. I feel this child is going to take its own sweet time. Which is what we hope. They said I am dilated to a one and the baby still has quite a ways to drop... could have fooled me:) Well anyway we love you guys!

Christmas Light Time

So now that Halloween is over and time is counting down we get to do what Boston lives for each year.... 80,000 Christmas Lights. We started Monday by separating the lights. Thanks to Papa Bryce, Mason (nephew), and Ben (friend of Boston's) for helping out. They now have the lights on all windows and pillars. It looks like he might just get everything he wants done in time for December 1st. We decided to just get all the Christmas stuff out and up so we don't have to deal with it after the baby is here. So I have been trying to figure out where to put all the stuff we have. Amazing how much stuff we have to put up. I will post pictures when we are done. I unfortunately keep getting side tracked and start working on other things:)

As for the Baby it is looking good. Got to see it's face FINALLY last week. This week we had a little rough time. I had gotten sick Friday and then by Monday night it got worse and had to go in Tuesday and get some fluids put in me. I was not too dehydrated but after a couple IVs and medicine to help with the nausea I was beat. Thank goodness for a loving husband. I was just able to rest and he took great care of me. Man I am lucky to have such a great guy. They said that the baby sounded great and that I should not be worried. Then we had my appointment on Wednesday with my OB she too said the baby sound great and we will wait for the results from my Ultrasound we have this up coming Monday. Can't wait!!! We will get to know about how much the little one is weighing and the length... Should be fun. We have a little over 3 more weeks til my due date, but have a good feeling this little one is gonna come a little later. Seems quite content being inside me even though I am getting quite uncomfortable. Few more weeks of work then I am home to stay and take care of our little one...

Well we hope everyone is doing great and love you all thanks for all the love and support!
