I don't know why but I hate prego pictures of myself, that's why I haven't posted any. However, I have the best Mother-in-law in the whole world and she promised me that if I would let her take a picture of me I would thank her one day, so here it is... It may be the only one that ever gets posted, haha! But we are so excited for baby Bowden to come that I had to post it.
A few weeks ago I got to go to the Women's Conference down at the Conference Center in Salt Lake. This has been a long standing tradition in our family. It's the best night cuz it's just me with my girls and we always eat at Macaroni Grill. I don't know how that became the spot, but we always go there. We had fun, girls nights are the best! Here's a cute pic we took outside the Conference Center across from Temple Square.
We are pretty much the slowest people on the planet when it comes to preparing for Baby Bowden to come. I don't know why it's taking us so long because those of you who know me know I am generally the most impatient person on the planet. But for some reason we have done absolutely nothing to prepare. However, last night we had a milestone!!!! Sunnee came over and convinced us that we needed to get the crib set up because we don't have near as much time as we think. Haha I think she just wanted to see it out of the box! Anyways... here's a few step in the crib-putting-together process.
I know I'm a little behind on the blogs, so here's a small update of the past little while...
DAVIS COUNTY GALA
Every year we have a Gala at my work. It's themed differently everytime and there is a live concert every year. I usually end up going with Brock's work because they buy a table. It's a black tie event. I love to get all dressed up and Brock looks so good in his tux haha. Here a picture of us in the lobby. The concert was ok this year, we had the Nylons come and sing. I didn't know who they were. Last year we had Collin Ray come sing, that was awesome! I thought the theme this year "Dream" was so much fun. The room looked so pretty but I didn't get a very good picture. (I look way prego in this dress, I know, but I thought it was a cute pic of us haha)
In case you didn't get it from the title....IT'S A BOY!! We are so excited, Brock has already purchased several yankee outfits:) We are already getting busy preparing for our little baseball player to come. January can't come fast enough!
Ok, this news has been a little overdue and I know there have been people waiting for this post, but since I'm so weird and paranoid I have been putting it off. But we had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it looks like all is well, so I decided it's about time! Our biggest news ever... we are having a BABY!! YAY!! I had an appointment yesterday and we should be able to tell what it is at our next appointment in August, but there is a chance we will have to wait until September. We are so excited!! There are a few of you that are close to us that know how long Brock and I have been wanting to be parents. It's been a long sucky road, but it finally happened!! I just have to say sorry to the friends I went out with a couple weeks ago, I wish I could have told you in person that night haha but our families didn't know yet so I couldn't spill the beans. We will be expecting our miracle in January and we are so EXCITED!!!
So, I never thought I'd say this... but I've become a runner. Thanks to Mindi:) Brock and I have just recently started to get into it. We haven't really been the racing type but all of the sudden we've caught the fever. I didn't ever think I would love to run, but we have so much fun together. We just did the Race for the Cure in SLC this Saturday. It was a really neat experience. I've done other races, but I really liked this one because it was so inspiring. There was people all over running for someone they loved. There was young girls running with bald heads and husbands pushing their wives in wheelchairs. It made me so grateful for the family I have the the health we have all been blessed with. I love to see the strength I don't have in other people. The families of the survirors are so supportive. I know people are only given trials that they can handle because I question whether or not I could go through something like that and I would never trade my trials for theirs, but they still seem so positive and have an optimistic outlook on life. It was really inspiring to look around and see 18,000 people all around me running for the same cause. The roads were filled as far as I could see in front and back of me, in fact, the first few minutes we couldn't even run because there was so many people. It was awesome! Here are a couple race day pics (sorry Mindi I ripped off some of yours!)
