A New Look

Sorry for the ginormous picture of us! I was trying to change up our blog a little bit, and I have no idea how to make our title picture smaller. I'm going to keep working on it, but for now, enjoy our huge faces.
Things are going well here. I still feel great and really can't complain about this pregnancy. Our baby boy is very active, particularly at night when I'm in bed trying to sleep : ) I still work a few days a week and am planning to keep at it until I feel miserable or until the baby comes, whichever comes first. We are in the final planning stages of getting the nursery situated, so that's been fun. Our amazing home builder has offered to paint our nursery as a baby gift. She has even hired a professional interior designer/artist to do it! Greg and I thought she was just going to recruit one of her work crew painters to do it, so we were very surprised when she called to set up our first meeting with the decorator. I met with her last week to discuss our "vision" for the nursery and she is supposed to draw up plans this week to show us what she can do. I feel like I'm on HGTV! I can't wait to see it finished and I'm even more excited to see our baby in it!
Greg and I have been debating/arguing/discussing the name of our baby since we found out he was a boy. We've discovered that our tastes in names are pretty different. Greg tends to like older, more mature (ie 80 yr old man names) and I tend to like more popular, traditional names( too popular as far as Greg and our OB are concerned-my OB told me flat out I could not name my baby Aidan because he had already delivered too many babies by that name). I was so afraid our baby was going to leave the hospital as baby boy Pyne until this past Saturday night. We went bowling with some friends and family. I was up to bowl the 5th or 6th frame and knocked down 7 of the 10 pins. The 3 remaining were one towards the front, and then one on each corner of the back row (pins 7 and 10 for the bowling gurus). A horrible split shot, so horrible that my dear husband was prompted to call out to me, "If you can knock down all 3, you can name our baby!" The pressure was on, and after some good advice from my brother-in-law, I let the ball go. I don't know who was more surprised when I actually got the shot! I jumped pretty high for a pregnant lady and turned to see my sweet Greg's shocked face! He recovered pretty well and now says he's glad the pressure is off of him as far as naming the baby. I won't let him off the hook that easily-I still want his honest input. No decisions have been made yet. I think I want to see him first before making our final choice. We'll keep you posted on our progress!

Bumbo Seat Giveaway

Isn't this cute?

I love cool baby stuff! I've heard bumbo seats are lifesavers, so we registered for one, even though they aren't really that attractive. These covers make them really cute and probably softer on a baby's legs. You can enter a contest for winning one by checking out the blog here.

We're back!

Did you miss us? Sorry for the lack of posting (technically, it's Greg's turn to post, but I don't want to get any more irate comments or emails about my deficiencies as a blogger). These past few weeks have flown by. I can't believe I am 27 weeks pregnant! I am feeling really good so far, and love that I can feel the baby moving around on a regular basis. I'm not crazy about this picture, but I've been promising a belly shot for a few months now. It was taken before we went to Utah, so I was about 25 weeks. It looks like I'm missing a foot, but I promise, I still have
two feet : )We had a great trip out to Utah a few weeks ago. Greg's family had all sorts of fun stuff planned for us while we were visiting. We spent a day at Utah Lake wakeboarding, skiing, and tubing.

Here is Greg driving the boat
and wakeboarding.

This is our cutie nephew Daniel who thought riding on the boat was pretty cool.

This is our other super cute nephew Kenton. He liked the boat too, but took a little nap to recharge his batteries.





Here he is, well-rested and ready to drive the boat for us.



The next day we went to American Fork Canyon to the Tibble Fork Reservoir to fish, canoe, and cook out. Mike, Greg's brother, was the only one who had any luck fishing. While we were there, a woman was impaled on a tree branch! Greg was asked to help out until EMS arrived, and the local news stations interviewed his sister in law, Mandee, and his dad, Terry. They both were on the news that night. They don't have those clips available online anymore, but in this clip, you can see the back of Greg-he's wearing a grey shirt with maroon piping around the collar.

During our visit, Adrienne, Greg's sister, had a baby shower for me! It was so much fun, and I got to visit with so many great family members. We got some really cute baby things-everything is so adorable and little. I can't wait until he is here!

Here are a few pics from my shower. This is the diaper cake Adrienne made-so fun!
Some of my family that came to visit-I love y'all!

We also got to go to the Alpine Slides while we were visiting. They were not recommended for pregnant women, so I sat out and took some pictures. Unfortunately, Terry's sled ran out of steam towards the end, but he got to take another ride for free!

It was hard coming back home to real life after all of the fun we had! We are looking forward to seeing everyone again once the baby is born. We'll update again soon-I promise!
