Tessa Ann Whitney

She is finally here!!! Tessa Ann Whitney was born this morning at 7:02 a.m. She weighs 6 pounds 8 oz. and is 20 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful! Everything went well with the labor and Megan, Nate & Tessa are all doing great! Here are just a couple pictures from this morning. LOTS more to come!

Update...

Baby Update!
Well, most of you probably already know the status of Tessa but for those of you who don't I'll fill you in. I was happy not to have her early but now it's starting to wear on me. I'm just ready for her to be here. I'm still at 0 dilation but I've been told that doesn't mean much. I'm going to the doctor Monday morning and if I'm still 0 then they're giving me a pill Monday night and inducing me. If I'm dilated at all then I'll go in Tuesday morning and they'll induce me then. So either way hopefully she'll be here by Tuesday night! I'm really excited but I'm still crossing my fingers that she'll come on her own before then. I have been having a lot stronger contractions since yesterday but it probably doesn't mean anything. I just hope she's ready to come Tuesday cause I'm sure ready for her! She'll be coming whether she likes it or not I guess. Going overdue is not fun. Next time I'm going to tell myself the due date is one week later than it really is. I'm feeling good though and hanging in there. I had my last day of work yesterday which was exciting. I'll make sure to post asap as soon as Tessa gets here! Stay tuned...

Priscila and Chad's wedding!
Yahoo, I made it to Priscila's wedding on the 29th 9 months pregnant and all! It was so beautiful and so much fun! I'm so happy for both of them. They're such a great couple and such great friends. The night was perfect in every way. I even somehow managed to get down on the dance floor, I mean way down! Unfortunately I was sore the next day though.
Here are some pictures from the big day! Congrats Chad and Pris!

Luckily we were able to go to some fun ball games before the baby gets here. A few weekends ago we went with Chad and Priscila to a Bees game which was really fun. Then last weekend we kicked off BYU's season at home. For Christmas I got Nate season tickets to the BYU games, but with the baby on the way I'll probably only make it to a few with him unfortunately. I was hoping hiking up to the top of the bleachers would put me in labor, but no luck of course. I had never been to the BYU stadium before, it was so pretty! Nate and I had a blast together, I can't wait to make it a family activity some day! I must admit I probably watched the cheerleaders more than the game though!

Daybreak Shower!

Last Wednesday Tibett hosted a neighborhood baby shower for me and it was so much fun! I can't thank you enough Tibett and everyone that helped out! It has been so fun meeting so many cute new girls out in Daybreak. I'm very lucky to have them all around to entertain me when I'm not working anymore!!! (only a couple weeks left, and I can't wait!) Thanks for all the cute gifts and good advice.

Here's a 9 month picture of the growing belly

How cute is this fruit stroller that Sarah made for the shower!!!

Baby Showers!

I had two amazing showers recently. A friends shower on August 2nd and a family/family friends shower on August 4th. Both of them were so much fun! I got tons good stuff that I really needed. I definitely feel more ready now thanks to everyone. It was so fun to see so many people that I love. My mom, grandparents, and aunt even all flew in for the weekend of showers. It meant so much to me to have them there. I just want to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who helped host the showers and to everyone for attending. I really appreciate everyone's love and support. Tessa is a very lucky little girl to have so many good people love her already!

Priscila's Wedding Shower

A few weeks ago we threw a shower for one of my best friends Priscila. It was so much fun to see everyone and catch up. It got us all really excited for the upcoming big day! August 29th is going to be here before we know it and I better be in attendance. I'm sure I'll be there looking beautifully big! I can't wait for the wedding it's going to be so much fun! It also so happens to be Priscila's Birthday today and was Danielle's on Wednesday! So Happy Birthday to both of you! I love you guys so much and am so grateful for your friendship!!!

The 4th of July

We went with Nate's family up to Trapper's Ridge for a fun filled weekend. The whole weekend was a blast. We relaxed, went boating, and enjoyed some small town activities. On the 4th we went to a big yummy breakfast where we watched little kids try to ride sheep, catch greasy pigs, and the girls got to ride a pony. It was very entertaining! Later that night we had our own BBQ and firework show.

Goodbye Morgans!

In June we had a fun BBQ for Kristin and Bryson to say goodbye before they took off to Boston for law school! It was so fun to have all our friends together. Nate and I really hope to make a trip out to visit them sometime. Good luck and congratulations Kristin and Bryson! We love you guys and miss you already!

All the lovely prego girls...
