name game

question #1: when are you due?
question #2: boy or girl?
question #3: names?

I'm sick of telling people that we have two names picked out & we're gonna decide which one she looks like when we see her!!! But I'd still appreciate your votes over to right... just to see what other people think. :) Too bad I can't just wear a sign around my neck with those two names on it!! It would make things so much easier... it would also be easy if we only had one name, but we're just indecisive...

8 months!!

SOMEHOW this body keeps sTrEtCHiNg!! It really is amazing... actually the amazing thing will be if I can ever get back to normal once the baby comes out!! I'm going to appointments every two weeks now & I'm hoping Doc will let me have one more ultrasound so I can see her sweet face!! We'll see how that goes... everything else is good. I'm getting prepped for sleepless nights because my hips ache so bad from sleeping on my sides that I just spend the whole night flipping back & forth. Other than the aches and pains that I guess are probably normal, I actually feel good!! I'm pretty uncomfortable, but I know it will just get worse so...

Anyway the nursery is pretty much done. It's so much cuter since it's filled up with stuff from the shower!! I also got a glider/rocker thing that I built MYSELF!! :) Jon says I have "super baby strength". I think it's just called Nesting. I can't stand to have things undone... I just want everything to be READY!!! The bedding is still in the making... Pam got overwhelmed & we sent it to a lady in North Logan to have her finish it!! So hopefully that will be done in a couple weeks :) Then we have to make curtains & hang up decorations... but really if the baby decided to show up tomorrow (let's cross our fingers that doesn't happen!) she could live in her nursery!! Can't wait!

No wonder dogs don't clean bathrooms.....

The other night Jon was cleaning the bathroom & he had Comet all over the shower. Maya came in to check things out & set her chin down on the edge of the tub. She started swelling up like crazy!!!!! It took us a minute to figure out what exactly caused it, but we're pretty sure she's allergic to Comet!!

This is how is started.....

She was SO miserable... she couldn't stop itching it!! Poor dog!

and she looked WORSE the next morning!!! So I took her to the vet & he gave her a steroid shot to help with the swelling. We gave her some Benadryl and by the next morning she was all better!!! By the way, YES you can give a dog Benadryl!!! 1 mg for every pound they weigh!! Worked like a dream... especially cuz it made her kinda groggy, which gave us a nice break from non-stop tug-a-war!! She never gets sick of that game... LOVE you Maya!! We're glad you're back to normal!

baby shower!!!

I'm a brat... but I REQUESTED to have a baby shower before I was 9 months pregnant for a couple of reasons... 1. I'm paranoid & wanted to have some time after the shower to get the things I would still need that I didn't get at the shower, and 2. Because I'm already huge enough & the pictures in another month or so might not be blog-worthy!

I had an AWESOME shower & it was so much fun & this baby got SPOILED!!

Everyone getting ready (minus Lisa who was feeding her baby), while I just walked around & took pictures!!

Cute, cute chocolates!

We had pictures all over of me & Jon as babies & Pam made the cute sayings to put by all of them!! weren't we cute?!

This is the FEAST that the Robinson ladies prepared!! I'm still eating left overs!!

It seemed like I had an outfit or my arm in front of my face in EVERY picture, or else I was making a retarded face... but here are a few pictures of the LOOT!!

Bouncy/Vibrating Chair

TONS AND TONS of CUTE CUTE clothes!!

I have an awesome family & my mom has awesome friends... I got a TON of homemade blankets & quilts that are SO stinkin' cute!!! The one above my grandma actually made before she passed away :) she was the sweetest lady ever!! I hope she's holding my baby girl right now & getting her ready to send our way!

Aunt Teona made this silky blanket... My grandma made them for all of us kids when we were little, so my aunt has continued the tradition!!

Holly is AMAZING & made ALL these bows!!! SWEEEEEET!!

More clothes!!!

And this cute yellow one my Aunt LaWana made!! It's SOOOO soft!!

I'm so excited to be able to use all the AWESOME stuff we got & I'm sure baby Robinson is excited too!!! Thanks to my mommy, Pam, Holly, & Lisa for the shower & everyone else who helped & everyone who came!!!!!

HELP!!

I got a Diaper Genie AND and Diaper Champ at my shower....

I've read reviews on both & they both sound AWESOME!! so i want some people i KNOW to give me some advise on which I should keep and which one to return... THANKS!!
