Nope- No Baby Yet.

Can you believe it??? I know that today is my due date and I'm not technically over or anything but everyone I know who was supposed to have their baby either the same time or after me has had their baby! What's up with that? SOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!
I go to the doctor tomorrow morning and I'm hoping he'll induce me sometime within the next couple of days. If he tells me he'll see me next week at my "weekly appointment" my response will be, "I'll see you at your funeral tomorrow!" LOL!!! Just kidding, my doctor is great. I have to give it to OBGYN's, what a time-consuming, minute-by-minute job!
Let me just say I am soo grateful that I'm able to have a baby and that both of us are healthy! So I know I have no room to complain. It's just been an emotional couple of weeks. I've learned I am a very "steady" person. I don't like the unknown or the ups and downs in life. I just like things steady and predictable. Therefore, this is teaching me huge lessons! Hopefully this isn't a preview of what this kid is going to teach me the rest of my life ;)
So I'll leave it at that and tune in tomorrow for an update-

David Everest Hooper is finally here!!!!!!

He's finally here!!!!! Our nephew, David Everest Hooper, was born this evening. He shares a birthday with his Aunt Natalie and Nicole. He weighed 7 lbs. 9oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. From what I can tell he has his moms nose and his dads lips. We are so excited for Aaron and Angela.
Now little Ty needs to come so Everest can have a buddy! You think if I sit and stare at this picture long enough it'll put me into labor? LOL!!

Happy 30th Birthday Natalie and Nicole!!!!

Today is Natalie and Nicole's 30th birthday! I am soooo glad that they were born into the Hooper Family! I JUST LOVE MY SISTERS!!! They are my best friends and I can't imagine life without either of them. (When I was younger you would have never heard me say that!)
People always ask me if it's hard being so close in age to twin sisters but most the time I feel more like we're triplets. They're soo good to always include me in everything. It's just always been that way. They, and my mom, would'nt have it any other way.
Another thing people always ask me, kinda funny, is which sister I like better???? Isn't that a funny thing to ask? My response is "I could never like either one of them more than the other, they're both two totally different people and I appreciate different things about both of them and get along with both of them the same." People also ask me who I'm most like out of the two of them and my response to that is "I'm kinda a little mix of both."
Anyway, here's to Natalie and Nicole! I appreciate your love, friendship, support and example :)

Girls night out with The Biggerstaffs

Last night my mom and I went to dinner with the Biggerstaffs at Thanksgiving Point. It was a dinner/shower. We had such a good time! Our family just loves the Biggerstaff family. We have so much in common and always have a great time with eachother! It was fun swapping labor stories and catching up.
As you can see everyone treated little Tyson very nicely! Everything was darling!!!! This little guy is going to be the best dressed kid ever. Thanks you guys :)
"Come on Ty, time to come out!!!"

Tanner Watching Conference


Tanner is such a good sport to watch all sessions of conference and not complain about it! I gotta tell ya though, it's funny, after the second Saturday session he asked, "Mom, are any of the sessions different or is it the same everytime? Will the talks and speakers be different tomorrow?" So basically, until I clarified, he thought he had watched the same session twice yesterday. LOL! I guess I could've thought the same thing when I was his age..
Funny, funny, Tanner!!!

Gross!!!

Now that doesn't look right, does it? Yes, these are my morbid feet. I know, my scar from my melenoma is gross too, but check out my ankles! Wait a minute, I don't have any ankles...Last I checked only the boney part of your ankle was supposed to stick out...
Oh the joys of pregnancy!!
I have a doctors appt tomorrow so hopefully we're making progress and I'll have this little guy before too long. We are ready whenever he is!!! If he knew how excited we were to meet him and how much he'll be loved, he would've come already!!
