Christmas at the Sorensen's

Ok so we finally found a rug for our kitchen.  We were going to put the two of them together like in this picture but it was just too big so we decided to just do the one and move the other rug into the family room.  This is mainly for mom. 

So it is almost Christmas and we still haven't gotten our best present yet.  If it doesn't happen over the weekend Monday morning at 5:30am we are scheduled to get Lindsey induced.  Hopefully the baby will come early on Monday so that we can get Lindsey and the baby home on Tuesday in enough time to get to watch the Cougars lay the beat down on the Beavers at 6pm :)

Here is the Christmas tree.  Lots of memories on the tree with all the ornaments we have gotten over the years.  Its funny there are certain ones that even though they are cheesy and we have better ones I still like to see on the tree remembering when I got them or just some kind of memory that makes them extra special.

Lindsey loves all the snow globes we got last year along with all the metal Christmas figures.  Also can see our fireplace kind of the glass has gotten really dirty and haven't had a chance to clean it. 

We will keep everyone posted on when the baby gets here.  If you have a cell phone that accepts pictures I will send you one asap after things calm down at the hospital.  If not you will have to wait until I get internet access.  I will have my laptop and I will use my phone to get internet as soon as things calm down in the hospital and I will get some pictures on the blog if I can or atleast send out an email to mom so she can forward it on to the Sorensens and I will get them off to the Woodruffs also.  Thank you to everyone that has called to check in and make sure we are doing good and for all the prayers people have said they have been saying for Lindsey. 

So I just realized that it doesnt show me who votes what on our poll, so no sweet prize :) unless you email me your guess too. If it were up to me I would have had him a couple days ago, I am definitely getting more and more anxious and just ready to get this over with. But I know its not up to me and he probably needs to "cook" in there a little bit longer.

Poll

I have added a poll to the blog to see when everybody thinks I will deliver the baby. We are hoping its not tomorrow while Mikey is gone for the day :) Whoever wins will get a sweet prize! Remember the due date is Dec. 22nd. Good luck!

37 weeks!!

I met with my dr. today to see how things were going and he finally turned head down! YAY! It made me a little nervous and made it a little more real. I stopped my pills yesterday and she lifted all the restrictions she had me on, so this baby can come anytime! She also stirred up my membranes (sorry if thats too much info) and from what she said she wouldnt be surprised if I delivered him this week! Scary!
Also, today is our 2nd anniversary! CRAZY!! Now that I'm not on bedrest we might be able to go out to eat or a movie or something? Mikey is in Ontario CA tonight until tomorrow so we will celebrate then. I can't believe how much has happened in the last 2 years, we have lived in 3 different states and so many other changes! I can't wait for the years to come!
Anyways just wanted to update everyone just in case I don't get a chance to before Mikey Jr. arrives :)

BIG baby!

I had my 36 week appt today and they did an ultrasound just to make sure everything is still ok, well they determined that he weighs about 7lbs 13oz.!!! With 4 more weeks to go! He also has a HUGE head which scares me half to death! I'm not worried he's gonna look funny with a big head, I'm more worried about how I'm going to push him out. He is also breech right now, my Dr. said usually they have turned by now but we'll give him til next week and if he still hasn't turned we will "talk about our options" so I'm guessing either C-section or trying to turn him...which I don't want to try! I've heard it hurts like crazy! I'm not too worried about a C-section other than the recovery. She is taking me off my pills that are stopping the contractions next Monday and she says if I go into labor its alright next week! Kinda scary! I'm way excited to finally meet our little guy (re-confirmed its a boy again today) He is getting almost too heavy for me to carry around, I have a hard time standing or sitting too long and have to lay down a lot. Other than that everything here is great! We are going to have our own little Thanksgiving here at our house with just the 2 of us and just have a relaxing time. Mikey gets to speak in sacrament meeting this Sunday...and yes I said 'gets' he absolutely loves to speak in public...crazy guy! The bishop said he was going to ask me to speak as well but didn't think that was very nice :) We have the best bishop! If he would have asked me to speak I think I would have had the baby right then and there! Unlike Mikey I absloutely hate speaking in public...even saying prayers scares me half to death!

35 weeks

I just realized I hadn't put any pictures up from my shower...so here are a few of them, I had a blast and got some way cute things for our little guy!! Also, just as an update, I went to my Dr. about a week and a half ago and they sent me to the hospital AGAIN!! I am still dilated to just a 1 but I am 75% effaced! I was having contractions so they finally gave me medication to stop them. It works but it also makes me very shaky and wired and makes my heart race! But I am willing to put up with it to make sure he stays in there as long as possible so we have a healthy baby. There isn't a NICU in Prescott, the closest one is in Phoenix which is about 2 hours away.
I had another appt the next Monday, she said I haven't changed (which is good) and wants to do an ultrasound next Monday. She also said I shouldn't go to Primary anymore, my calling has me help wherever they need me, the last few weeks I have been substituting for the Sunbeams! Very stressful on my body! and emotionally!
I am starting to feel VERY big and very uncomfortable, he kicks me in the ribs all the time and every once in a while I will feel a contraction, but nothing too bad.
Luckily after this week Mikey will be in town most of the time, he is in Northern California this week til Thursday. We have a great ward and a lot of people who are willing to help me out in any way! Anyway here are a few pictures :)


All the presents!



Tanner was a great helper! He loved helping me open the presents

Almost 35 weeks pregnant, not the best angle but I am huge! yep its starting to go to my face too :)
