Still less than three...

Owen got a new job. He's working at Nu Skin helping those less tech-savvy than himself with their computers and such. He really likes his job and the people he works with, and as a bonus: it's full time and comes with the same insurance and other benefits we've been enjoying through my job. Win-win. Before he got this job we were a bit stressed about how we could afford health insurance if I wasn't working. Things have really worked out on that front.

I'm 35.5 weeks pregnant now. I haven't been allowed to work since October 4 and don't do a whole lot these days. Luckily, I've not been put on bed rest, but I have to "take it easy". That means not lifting more than 5 pounds (5 pounds is hardly anything, in case you don't know...), not walking a lot, and not standing for long periods of time. The doctor has said that the goal is to make it to 36 weeks, so we're about there. However, I need to make it to 37, because Owen will be gone all next week for work. He'll just be at a conference in Salt Lake, but it's still not the optimal time for her to come. I told him that it will be really funny if after all of this she ends up coming late (Well, maybe funny isn't exactly the right word for that...). I had an appointment on Tuesday and I am 80% effaced and 1.5cm dilated, so I'm hoping that means that won't happen, but you never know.

Jonie had her little girl, Addilyn Rose on October 1 and she is so, so cute. She weighs 8 pounds 5 ounces now, but I still hold her, because, well, I just really like her. I've been going up to Highland quite a bit to sit around and admire her cuteness. Here's a cute picture of her taken the day after she was born:

She's changing a lot already and her little face is chubbing out. I just love her. I also adore her older sister, Lillie. I think this is the sweetest picture of them:

I'm quite excited to have a little one of my own. Then I won't have to steal pictures from Jonie to post here.... but I still might.

In other news: my mom is decorating the nursery for us. It should be finished this weekend and I'll post pictures when that happens. It's going to be awesome. I don't know how I'd manage without my mom. She and Owen have both picked up my slack the past month. Lately when Owen comes home, I tell him "I did nothing today." and he says "That's what I like to hear!" We'll see if that attitude sticks around post-baby.
