Buying pumpkins!

Last week we went to this little Halloween lot in Layton and bought some pumpkins. The lot was decorated so fun and you could walk around and pick out your own pumkins, hay bails, etc. We took some pictures and had a lot of fun!

Ongoing dentist visits

I went to the dentist 3 weeks ago for the first time after Myah's been born. He found 4 cavities so I went back the next week to get them all filled. When I went back, he explained that after my last visit they switched whoever does their images and he actually found 4 other cavities! 2 of them need crowns! I was not excited but I trust this dentist and he showed me the images and I could see that I had problems in my mouth!

I went back for the 3rd time yesterday and he prepped the 2 crowns and filled the other 2 cavities. Lets just say it was not fun and I was in a lot of pain that night. I have temporary crowns until they make my permanent ones and they feel really weird. He had to scratch down my 2 teeth a lot and had to go a little beneith my gums (as they always do with crowns), but the temporaries don't meet with my gums so I feel like everytime I eat anything, I'm going to jam all sorts of food in them. It's really uncomfortable! I hope I survive the next 2 weeks until I get my permanent ones on!

Myah update

Myah is doing great! I love seeing her grow physically and with personality! I took her to her 2 month check up a few weeks ago and the doctor pretty much said she's perfect! (and of course I think so too!) She's a little above average for her height, but I guess that's expected when her dad is 6 ft 4 in! She's smiling a lot now and making cute noises! She also loves to stand (as long as we balance her). Justin and I are loving being parents!

Myah Louise Calder

Here's our sweet little Myah Louise Calder! Born July 29th at about 10:30 pm. 7 lbs 7 oz and 20 inches. She has just been the sweetest girl and we are so lucky to have her. She's doing great and I've been loving spending my time with her...hence why I dropped off the face of the earth with posting!

Myah's room

Justin and I got Myah's room all finished and we are so excited to have her occupy it! I love walking in there...it's definitely our favorite room of the apartment!

Any day now!

Well, I have 6 days until my due date but I'm hoping she'll come earlier than that! At my appointment this week with my midwife I was just over 2 cms dialated, 60% effaced, and she was estimated to weight 7 lb. 10 oz. When my midwife was checking me she felt little Myah's head right on my cervix...so she is ready to come! I'm ready for her to come too! I'm feeling nauseous frequently throughout the day, exhausted, very swollen, and out of it! I know I'm only going to feel more exhausted once she's here, but I'm so excited to have my feet and hands back to normal and to not have a stuffy nose that I've had the whole pregnancy! So Myah, come as soon as you want!

4th of July

For the 4th of July weekend we went up to stay with Justin's grandparents in Logan. We had a great time with them! It's always so fun to go stay with them because they are very active people and they always treat us like a King and Queen! Due to me being pregnant, I just wanted to relax with my swollen feet up for most the time, so we did. We had a great time chatting with Nana and Papa and just enjoying their company. We did do some other fun things such as going swimming, to dinner to Texas Roadhouse (yum!), to church, watched a few movies, played a couple games, went to their ward 4th of July breakfast and patriotic program, went to a concert, and had a yummy BBQ! Justin's Uncle Scott came down Sunday night with his wonderful wife, Jenny, and two of his kids, so we enjoyed being with them as well through Monday!

On Sunday, Papa and Justin decided to have man-bonding time and watch the movie, "Patton" (which is about the WWII General who was a great general but an interesting man). Nana and I watched but it went on so long that we got pretty bored. Nana would keep asking Papa how much longer and he'd say, "Ruth Ann, I don't know!" and go back to watching the movie intently. When I thought the movie had been going on for 5 hours, music came on and the word "Intermission" came on the screen!! Nana and I couldn't believe it was only intermission! So we decided to play a game while the guys finished their bonding time. When I looked at the movie cover to see how long it was, it said it was only about 3 hours long. Man how time doesn't fly when you're bored!!

Nana and I enjoyed the rest of the movie playing Phase 10. To say the least, it was pretty funny how much the guys were in to the movie and how slow it was going for us gals! Even though Nana and I were bored for a lot of the time during the movie, it ended up being a great memory!
