3 Weeks Left!

So this is me at 35 weeks, but I now only have 3 weeks until this baby comes! I'm so excited to meet her and hold her, but still a little nervous. We have a few things left to buy, but I'm sure everything will come together... well I hope it will. I don't know how much I'll get to blog once Baby Bell is here, so I thought I'd let you know what we've been up to the past few weeks.
My brother-in-law, Blake, is very into biking and decided to ride Lotaja (Logan to Jackson) this year. The rest of Clark's family drove up to Jackson Hole and met him at the finish line. He's crossing here with his team on the second row, far right. It was over 200 hundred miles they rode and Blake did really well!
Here's the whole family (me, Clark, Warren, Tammy, Emily, Blake and Audrie) under the arch of antlers in down town Jackson. We walked around all the shops, ate some good food and enjoyed relaxing together.
This was the scene outside our new house last week when our Stop and Waste valve burst and flooded our storage room. It was about 9 AM and Clark yelled to me to "Come here!" I kept asking why, why, until he yelled, "Call 911!" That got me downstairs and on the phone with the fire department real quick. There was about a foot and a half of water in the window well that was making it's way into our house. Luckily, it was a storage room with no carpet, but a lot of our books that were still in cardboard boxes were ruined. It could've been a lot worse and we're lucky that there wasn't too much damage.
On a brighter note, I get to watch and play with my niece, Audrie, every Thursday while her mom works. Last week we had to stop by Prodigy for me to grab a few things and Audrie got her first opportunity in a dance studio. She pulled out all the dress ups and danced really close to the big mirrors for a good half hour. It was so cute and I can't wait to have my own little one in dance classes some day!
I have had two baby showers so far and last Saturday, my high school girlfriends threw me an awesome shower. Here's Devon (a friend from college) and me with the amazing Diaper Cake that she made for me. Complete with home-made blanket and stuffed animals.
Lisa, Ashley and Holly, chillin while I was opening my great presents.
Laura, Heidi, Rachelle with Landon, Lennie and me. All these girls are such great friends and I'm lucky to have them! Thanks Lisa and Rachelle for hosting and planning!
Here's Aimee and I just after the shower, showing off our baby bumps. She's due about 3 weeks after me with her second. I know the picture is kinda dark, but it shows off the bellies and I think it's pretty funny!
And let's not forget my little sister, Alli. She's growing up so fast. This is Alli and her Homecoming date, Andrew. She looked gorgeous that night, but always looks so cute. I swear I didn't have the cute clothes she does, back when I was in high school.
And I was so excited that we finally got our crib and bedding, I just have to post it. The baby room isn't quite done, but it definitely feels like a baby room now and I love it. I can't believe there is actually going to be a crying baby in our house in just a few weeks!

Your crib kinda looks like mine. Is it one of those 4 -in-1 beds?

You look adorable. Seriously, for 37 weeks, that is awesome. I am way excited for you. Your crib bedding is adorable!!! We still need to go out to lunch and catch up sometime. Maybe we will wait till you have your baby plus a month or two and then I can meet her as well!

You look so cute pregnant! I wish I could say the same. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and the delivery and everything. Who knows, maybe we'll pop on the same day. I'm definitely hoping for sooner than later. Being a mom is the best thing ever! Hard at times but totally worth it! You're going to love it.

We love seeing you all preggo! Too bad we will miss it and will have to see you with no belly and a baby the next time we are around. You might have to recreate it for us.

You look too good to be almost done! I wanted to talk to you Saturday night at Brittany's, sorry I just said hi...Winston was out of control and we had to get out of there. I'm also sorry we missed your shower! We gave Cameron and Carly our gift to take, so hopefully it made it there :) Good luck with everything, I'm excited to see her!
