Baby Showers and Baby Update

I have now had 2 baby showers. My work (boss Linda and Valerie) threw me a baby shower a few weekends ago and they were so great! My mom and sister's and sister-in-laws threw me one last saturday. I have to say I am very blessed with what everyone has given me and a big thanks to everyone for everything (yes, I will still do thank you cards, mom). Here are some pictures of all the wonderful things the baby and I received. My doctor and his office nurse thinks the baby and I are just model patients. At the last visit I measured at 34 weeks instead of 35 weeks, but that just means that he has dropped...yes!! Things are moving in the right direction and I can breath again...at least a little better anyway! Will and I started taking a baby class and I decided that ingnorance is bliss.... Although I have a medical degree I did not know or understand everything/anything that went into delivering a baby.... Scary, intimidating, but exciting at the same time, at least we can be perpared. The best part about the classes though is they teach your coach how to give you massages....great stuff!

A few more pictures of Jackson Hole

Jackson Hole

Will and I had our last vacation before our little one comes in October. We spent the weekend in Jackson Hole Wyoming. It was beautiful up there, the Tetons mountains are aweseome, and the weather was great. We saw the town, pretty small but packed full of shops and places to eat. We shopped some, played mini golf and I even road the Alpine slide with my doctors approval. Our room was great! It was so nice to be able to relax so much I really didn't want to come back to work!! Here are a few pictures of the fun we had! And a few pictures of my growong belly. For my baby update there is nothing exciting to report.... which is a good thing!! He is growing right on schedule and has a great heart beat!! My next appointment is next week, they are now 2 weeks apart which means it is getting closer!!

Sweet Progress....

Yesterday was a very busy day. Alisha, our sister-in-law, will be moving in with us in November to help us out with the baby while Scott, her husband, serves in Iraq. In preperation for her coming we are working very hard to get the basement bathroom finished as well as the fourth and final bedroom completed. Will, Josh and April framed the bedroom and ran new electrical while James and I grouted the bathroom. We were almost done with the grout but found out we didn't buy enough and will have to finish on monday, but once that is complete we can install the fixtures in the showers, the toilet and the sink and yes it will finally be done!!! We started this project almost a year ago. I also worked some on our food storage at the local cannery. It's small but I am very proud of it.

Golfing!

One of the things I noticed once I got pregnant is that for whatever reason my golf game got better. Some people would joke and say it was because there was more weight behind it but it could be because my center of gravity changed..... Who knows but it has been fun!! Here is a picture of me on the golf cart from a few days ago at the Bountiful Ridge Golf course. It was a beautiful evening and the deer are so awesome! They aren't afraid of you or the golf balls around them. I had a lot of fun with Will, James, and their friends Steve, Chris and Will. Thanks for taking me along guys!!

Beginnings

Last Saturday Will and I went and bought a crib and changing table. The crib was the easy thing to put together..... The changing table, not so much. By 10:00 PM saturday night we quit but as you can see it is all completed now. We don't have any bedding put on the crib yet but you get the idea.

Baby Names

Will and I had been pretty sure about what to name our first baby, Cohen Robins Cotner.... but now we are having second thoughts. After doing some internet searches who knew there were so many names for little boys to choose from...... Here are a few of the names we are now considering are : Colton (probably our top pick right now), Austin, Derick, and..... It's hard to make the decision before we actually see him but if I have a few great ideas when he is born then we can decide what to name him. Feel free to give me some suggestions on what names and middle names that you think would be cute for our new little baby boy. Here is a little picture of his cute feet for anyone who needs alittle inspiration.
