Baby Gideon

The latest edition to the Taylor family!

Our BIG boy at 9lbs. 2oz., Gideon.

The best is his blonde hair and huge hands and feet!

Love those baby blues.

Week 38/39

Here are weeks 38 and 39...especially for those who checked last week and only got a picture of a gorilla. :)
I swear, every other week my belly gets bigger then smaller.

Week 38

Week 39

Some random pictures of us at the OKC Art Festival yesterday.

Week 38

I've been on the countdown for, oh...let's see...38 weeks now. I looked at my most recent pictures and my first thought is, "Seriously!! I thought I couldn't get any bigger at 7 months." Anyways, majority wins...I voted not posting them...yet. So, these will do for now. :)

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 2nd Love! I can't believe it's been 2 years already, and at the same time, it's only been 2 years. You are my best friend and I'm excited every day to be your wife!
Love, Me

Koosh Balls

I've discovered where Koosh Balls come from. Our juniper tree! The seeds are hard and pokey at first, but then it rained and Ta-dah! :)
I hope you are all as entertained as I am.

Oh the Joys of Being Pregnant

I'm sorry to those who don't care, but my life right now is focused on nothing but husband, baby and trying to stay busy. Here are some things I won't miss about being pregnant: (this is fulfilling the "trying to stay busy" part)

1- Not being able to bend over
2- Trying to tie shoes (see #1)
3- Getting "Holy cow!! Don't have the baby here!" and "Twins?" comments
4- Not knowing when baby will come
5- Not feeling like myself
6- Getting teary-eyed over...well....almost EVERYTHING! The latest...http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705296505,00.html
I mean, seriously! It's Hannah Montana!!!! I really need a chill pill.
6- My favorite...just basically going crazy...for example, last night I woke up to my phone ringing at 5am. At first I thought it was Tristan's carpool and we had slept in...then when I didn't recognize the number, I thought, "Oh, maybe someone's having their baby. Oh!! Maybe it's us!!!" (Yes, thing's like that make sense to me when I am woken up from a dead sleep.)

I will miss some things, (I think), but that list will have to wait until I am there.

37 weeks

So, I think my belly looks smaller than last time. Tristan's angle must have something to do with it. Unless babies sense the fear of their mom by being 10 lbs...so he decided to go on a diet and drop to 9 lbs. One can hope, right?

Conference Weekend

To start off this Conference weekend I would like to give you another look into the life we lead here in Oklahoma. We were driving back home after a barbecue the other night. It wasn't dark but the sun was beginning to set and the lake looked like there was a thick fog over it. We were really surprised because it wasn't humid or anything. Later that night we decided to go on a walk before bed during we figured out what the "fog" was. It was DUST! You could smell it and taste it in the air!!! We have been having a little drought here and the high winds the last couple of days blew it all in. You can imagine how the dust bowl must have felt like.

Conference was great. We did our usual traditions. Tristan and I started a puzzle and painted our wooden eggs. Tristan did Snoopy, but can you guess what mine is????? Thats right...it's how I feel being pregnant. All BELLY! The yellow on top is my hair and you can see my teeny arms on the sides and my belly button down in front. :)

Pride and Prejudice

I love this story. I love the BBC movie version...as well as the 1950's B/W, LDS, Bollywood and modern versions. Yes I love them all.

My grandpa happens to have a book as the #9 top seller on amazon.com, The 5,000 Year Leap. It used to be #1, I've just been keeping track. Anyhow as I was looking today, I saw this as the #10 top seller.
