31 weeks preggers!

A friend pointed out to me that today, July 31, I will be exactly 31 weeks pregnant.....isn't that a conincidence. This pregnancy has flown by and I have to be completely honest and tell you that I am a little scared of the whole labor and delivery part of the process. I know that everything will be okay, but the anticipation up to that point is going to get the best of me!!!! he he!


Scott and I go back to the doctor on August 4th to do our 2nd sonogram. The doctor wants to see what the baby measures and how the baby is positioned and all. I am kind of curious to see if doc might move my due date up a little.....we will see. For now, the expected date of arrival is October 2nd, but if you saw my belly.....you would probably think that there is no way i could possibly go that much longer. I am ALL BELLY and wow is it big!!! I will try and post a picture soon.


I am still feeling really good. I am tired alot and have trouble getting comfortable while i try to sleep which in turn doesn't make for a very good nights rest. I think it is just a way that the Lord prepares you for what is about to come..... :)

We are so excited and just cannot wait to see what a precious little angel the Lord has blessed us with. Please keep us in your prayers.....

The Rives Family Beach Trip 2008

Scott and I just got back from the beach with his family. We had such a good time and the weather was perfect. I, of course, probably stayed out in the sun a little more than I should have...but i was determined to make the most of this trip since it will probably be our last long vacation before baby puffin arrives!
















We went with Scott's family....yes the whole entire family.... and we used every bit of the approximately 5,000 square feet of the home that we stayed in....it was incredible! I guess his family felt sorry for the pregnant girl and they ended up giving scott and me the master suite which was super nice while Shug and Poppa slept in twins beds....yes i felt bad taking it, but they insisted that we did!!! :)

Our sweet little nieces, Kennedy and Rebecca, had such a great time....they played together so well and entertained us constantly......as you can imagine, there was never a dull moment on the Rives family beach trip.
