I love Logan and fall!! Its so beautiful here right now! since we have been back Alex has had outdoor fever and wants to bike, hike, camp, fish, canoe... Being pregnant I haven't been as enthusiastic about it like I usually would be. But what do u expect, I'm getting massive and feel uncomfortable all the time. Alex has been great at getting me out to do things and this last month has flown by. We've taken quite a few fishing outings together and it is so much fun! We have caught a lot of fish at Hyrum Dam but haven't had much luck at first dam yet. We just need to find the right bait there I guess because there are TONZ of fish and we just watch them swim by our bait for hours. Its pretty funny. I'll let you know if our luck changes.
This month was also the Baugh family reunion and everyone came to town which was awesome. We all camped out in my brother Eric's back yard and we had dutch oven dinners and breakfast! It was so much fun to see everyone and spend time together. My bro Casey caught the flu and was throwing up all night so he wasn't having too much fun. that was a bummer. Everyone else was feeling good for a few days and then my niece caught it too. She's two and has a 5 month old baby sister so Alex and I took care of baby Reese for about 3 days while her older sis got over it. We thought we were all clear after that but then Sunday night I found myself over the toilet all night and last night Alex was visiting the bathroom quite frequently too. =( ugh throwing up is probably the worst thing ever. So if you haven't got your flu shot yet, I would. Or stay away from the Baugh family its pretty contagious!
My sister Kera was able to stay a week longer since Haidyn was sick so that made me really happy even though I know she was pretty ready to be home. She helped me set up the baby room some more and went with me to pick out a car seat. It was fun just to have her around. I really wish my sisters didn't live so far away. But it does make it really exciting when we do all get together.
My family also threw me a baby shower which was so nice of them. It was so much fun to see friends and family and I got so many great gifts. We are so grateful for how generous so many people have been to help us get ready for this baby. Thanks to all of you!!!
I'm 36 weeks along now and feel so ready for the baby to come but at the same time have a ton to do. Last night I started to pack my Hospital bag. I printed out a list online of things you need and there is a lot of stuff!! how big is your hospital bag supposed to be????? what do you REALLY need? any advise is great! I don't know what I'm doing!

oh dear the end of pregnancy is such a blissful time, isn't it? just hearing you... er... i mean reading you say your uncomfortable all the time reminded me of how much it really does suck. hang in there it'll be over before you know it
Yahoo!! I am so excited for you. You are gonna do great. Don't worry it's better to be prepared than not when packing the bag. Something to throw in that they don't mention online is nursing garment/bra. Good luck!!

Sounds like you guys are getting to do a lot of fun stuff! I can't believe the day is getting so close!! You will do great and you and Alex will be such amazing parents. I can't wait to see your little cutie! And that's awesome about fishing, Mike and I are headed to do some of that ourselves this weekend. We should go together sometime. You guys are amazing!
how exciting!! Don't bother bringing things to "pass the time" unless you are in labor for a long time,.. when the baby gets here,.. you are just going to want to stare at him, and you will have a million visitors! Bring food(for al), some comfy clothes, and stuff for the baby to wear mostly, that's it! I am excited for you guys!! Yea,. it's almost over Anna!
It is so close Anna! I am so excited for you and can't wait to hear the news when you have him. I hope everything goes good for you. I wish I could tell you what to put in your bag, but I am the one that will need the advice in a few months! Good Luck!
Your SO CLOSE! How exciting!! Any close calls yet?! I am so excited for you guys I cant wait to see little Max! But I would first like to see you SOON..so lets make it happen!! And I am hoping that you can tell me what to pack in the bag!! I want to come see you baby room and all the fun stuff you got!!
Ah! So close!! How exciting!
Honestly, I didn't use much out of the bag...I brought everything they said to bring (including the nursing bra) and ended up just needing the everyday items I use and a set of clothes for Porter. I didn't even use my ipod or anything...but bring whatever you think you would like to have during labor...I packed a bunch of stuff for this and didn't touch any of it..., the change of clothes...for you and the baby, and whatever you think you'll need! That simple :) I hope that helps :S Good luck!!
A CAMERA. If you pack 1 thing it your bag, make sure its a camera!
My #1 thing that I was SO glad I had was my own pillow!! I hated the hospital pillows, and brade brought 2 of mine up and it was like heaven sleeping on them :) ..... I also brought a lot of hard candies to suck on and I brought my make up... I am not too girly, but I felt MUCH better with a little bit of mascara and lip gloss on :) ... oh and my BOPPY!!! SO glad I had it for breastfeeding... so glad I brought it to the hospital. also a ROBE was a must for me. I was so glad i had mine... and slippers... and pj pants to wear under the robe! Those were the TOP things I'm glad I brought! ... plus you guys live close to the hospital, so Alex can go grab something if you need it.
p.s. I can't wait for him to come! I can't wait to see him!
they also say to bring underwear and nursing bras... to be honest, I didn't wear either in the hospital! I wore the hot mesh panties they give you (believe me, they are HOTTTTT) and a robe... wow I just left 3 comments ha ha sorry
Anna! I am so excited for you to have your baby. You are going to be the best mom. I can't believe you moved back to Logan. I have to say I am a little jealous. I miss Utah and my family. One of these days!!
thank you i love all the good advise!
