Welcome Baby Mackenzie!!!

Today, September 30th 2009, at 2:37pm Mackenzie Renea Hopkins was born! She is 8 lbs 9 oz and 19 3/4 long. A beautiful, healthy baby girl! I am way too tired to post pics so you will have to wait until tomorrow. Everything looks good though! I will also tell a short version of the story tomorrow as well.

What do you think?

Well, I have just over a week left before my due date! I hurt every where and I am so ready to be done with this, but I also have one more week of work. I am bored and thought I would blog to ask everyone what they think. When do you think Mackenzie is coming? At my doctor appointment last week I was measuring 3 cm and 50% (for those of you who knows what that means!). Also, my doctor promised me she won't let me go past the 13th!!

Lots of Baby Girl Stuff!!

I thought you might want to see just how spoiled Mackenzie is, even though she has not even been born yet.
This is a full size dresser totally jam packed with baby girl clothes. (2 drawers onesies, 2 drawers sleepers, a drawer for sweaters, a drawers for socks, tights and shoes, a drawer with bibs and wash clothes, a drawer with Halloween and Christmas stuff, 3 drawers of full outfits and a drawer of just pants.) I guess this would be every girl's dream!
Her changing table is all set and looking girly. (if you can't tell yet, I am really excited and anxious for Mackenzie to come.)
These are just dresses hanging in the closet. They take up one whole side of the closet. They are already in order smallest to biggest! She already has clothes she won't wear for at least a year.
Yes, I even have her bath stuff all ready to go. I guess this is what you call nesting!!

My "Lifesaver"

This summer with being pregnant the pool as been an absolute life saver for me. Just a place to cool down, take the swelling down, be weightless for a little while to give the joints a break and to help with the sciatica. The pictures aren't the best, but thought you should know one of my most grateful fors this summer!
Don't ask about the face, I have no idea what I am doing.


Castlewood Canyon

This last weekend Travis' grandparents stopped by to visit us on their way through back up to Montana. We took them out to see the sights of Colorado. In my case, we were blessed with a cooler day and went on a small hike to Castlewood Canyon.
Don't ask how I got up there being 9 months pregnant but I did!

What a cute little family! Grandma, Grandpa and Ginger.
Travis just likes to take random pictures of me and he also got an action shot that you can see below.


Yes, more pics of me.

I am 37 weeks along and quite large. I am ready to pop any time.

We had a ton of fun and really enjoyed spending the short time we had with the grandparents. We love you guys, thanks for coming to see us!!!
