28 WEEKS!!!

I can't believe our little guy will be here in 11-12 weeks! We are so so excited and can't wait to meet our little man!
Here we are at 28 weeks! Obviously you'll be able to tell looking for yourself from the pics... but have I told anyone how huge I feel?? We've really been packing on the pounds and growing just the last 7 weeks.



Everything seems to be going great with this pregnancy though. Our baby's heartbeat is always strong and right on track and we are both measuring great!
And here is our little man at 27 weeks! We were able to do a 3D ultrasound, but once again due to his hands always being up by his face, we weren't able to get any clear pictures. Every ultrasound we have had up to this point, he always has his left hand by his face (so cute, but not great for getting good face pictures:) We are already so in love with him and can't wait to get him here!


Some of our other pregnancy facts:

  • He is constantly moving around... like crazy (and it never gets old, we love it)
  • He is usually most active at night and right when I get home from work everyday
  • I miss sleeping on my stomach so bad, but am really getting used to the routine of tossing and turning from side to side every night :) I think the lack of sleep is only preparing me for the future.
  • Palmer's cocoa-butter is a nightly ritual and has been since day one. So far it's working like a charm, but who's to say these last weeks won't throw us for a few surprises (I'm crossing my fingers though)
  • I think we've finally decided on a name.... but you'll all just have to wait for that :)
  • It's always fun to feel him move, but it's been so crazy feeling him kick on one side and punch on the other (supposedly he's around 16inches right now, and due to mine and Coby's genetics... he has the chance of being a tall fella)
  • I am so anxious and excited to get his nursery all ready. My sister is so close to finishing the bedding, and this next week we are picking up the dresser and chair..... and then the decorating will begin! I can't wait. His nursery is going to be so cute!
  • I still haven't really had any cravings (I don't think), other than constantly wanting Apple Jacks cereal and banana cremies when I was in my throwing up days.
  • I can't wait to see Coby with our little one- he is already so great.... with rubbing the cocoa-butter on most nights, beaming everytime he gets to feel him move, still can't forget those weeks of Coby bringing me food/breakfast in bed every morning to prevent me from throwing up and being nauseated, and him getting so excited to set up the crib (which he did the day after we bought it) dresser, etc. He is going to be such a great daddy!
  • And have I mentioned how excited we are to get our little one here??? It's all we think about. We can't wait to meet our little Baby K!

4 YEARS!!

As cheesy as it may sound -


So I may be a month and 9 days late, but on July 7th Coby and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary!! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to reflect on our last 4 years togeher.


We were married in the Manti temple on July 7th, 2006 and it is a day I will always remember!
The past 4 years have brought so many fun and exciting adventures/memories into our lives. With Coby I first experienced snowboarding, yankee stadiu/New York, viewing our Presidents home in D.C, the Statue of Liberty, the Thriller dance production (and it's scary zombies), Jazz games........
The Sanpete County Rodeo, Washington D.C. and the Nation's capital, the Anniversary Inn Jungle/Safari Suite, Washington monument, the Jazz......
BYU football, living in and loving California, the Fairview derby, National Arches in Moab, Bear Lake.......

Along with many other adventures! :) Coby has taught me so much in the last 4 years and I am so lucky to have him in my life. These last 4 years have flown by and I can't imagine my life without him. He truly is the best thing that has happened to me. It's been fun looking back at all the many things we have done..... and remembering all the fun (California, Park City, current Ephraim home), stressful (Mary Nielson RA's), and ghetto (Greenwood Hall in Ephraim) places we have lived and experienced. AND we are so excited for our biggest adventure yet to come... our little boy in November. We couldn't be happier and are so excited to start this part of ourlives together!
This year we celebrated our anniversary by going to the Anniversary Inn (2nd year in a row, thanks so my IHC discount and last minute decision :)


If you've never been to the Anniversary Inn, I totally recommend it. It is such a fun/neat experience and you feel completely secluded and relaxed... just what every couple needs every now and then.



We stayed in the Mountain Hide-away suit and loved it. For one of the cheaper rooms, it was still very nice and we enjoyed every minute.


Once again, I can't believe that I lucked out and caught such an amazing guy! Coby, I love you more and more everyday, and am so lucky to have you! Here's to many many more years full of adventures together!
