She's about to 'POP'

About 2 weeks ago I was in Arizona for the weekend so I could have my first baby shower. It was SO much fun and it was just like Christmas opening up all the gifts for this baby girl. It was so great seeing all my friends and family and I love that they came to support me. We decided to go with the theme "She's about to 'POP' " and my mom and my sisters did an amazing job with this.



Here is the adorable invitation my sister Lisa made (minus the scratched out address part)





All the food had to do with the word 'pop'. So we had all types of gourmet flavored 'pop'corn. We had yummy 'popping' punch made by my other sister Calli. I didn't take pics of the other food for some reason... but we also had the cutest cupcake push 'pops' made by my mom, strawberry spinach salad with 'pop'py seed dressing, fruit tart 'pop'pers, and ham and cheese 'pop'py seed slider sandwhiches. There was also lots of candy that had to do with the word 'pop'.

 The banner behind me was made by sister Calli, it says baby on it because we haven't chosen a name yet..... we should probably get on that.

 My lovely sisters who threw the baby shower for me! (We will all be living in AZ.. now we just need to get my sister Lindsey to move down here! We missed her being there.)

 This picture is not attractive at all... but I had to include it because we asked my grandma to take it and she just couldn't quite figure out how to center the camera on us.. we were dying laughing if you couldn't tell from the pic.




I loved seeing everyone and I can't wait till I get down to AZ so I can see them more often! Overall it was a great baby shower... now I just need the baby!

Lots of Changes!

Within the last two weeks are lives have completely turned around for the best and lots of great changes have happened! About a month ago, Jake applied for a medical sales job in Arizona... I didn't oppose at all since that would maybe mean we would get to move to Arizona (where I am from)! But I tried so hard not to get my hopes up just in case it didn't work out. Well after a long month of waiting we finally heard back and Jake got the job! I could not have been more proud of him and all the sacrifice he makes for our future family. So we got the job, and that means we had to hurry and pack up and make the move. Once he got the job he was told that he needed to be down there by the next week! Well....here I am at 34 weeks pregnant and my doctors appointments are so often and our insurance is in Idaho... so we decided that Jake would drive one of the cars full of our stuff and make the move to Arizona and live with my parents. I actually flew down a day later after he got there because I was having my baby shower in Arizona that weekend. We got him all set up and he has started his job which has been pretty overwhelming but we are excited for the possibilities. He is basically his own boss and is the main distributor of Bledsoe Brace ( http://bledsoebrace.com/home.asp) for all of Arizona! So he had to start his own business name (Fullmer Medical), finally had to get him an iPhone, and many other new things for him to be successful. So now I am back in Utah to pack up the rest of our apartment and I will be moving to Rexburg until I have the baby... which I so badly wish I could just be with Jake because 6 weeks is a LONG time to be away from your best friend! But I am trying to stay positive and know that the greatest thing is going to be coming soon (a baby) and I am getting so anxious! Sorry no pics... we have been too busy getting everything figured out but we love the new changes happening for our family and we will keep everyone updated! (** Side note: If anybody knows of any great connections for Jake to sell his equipment too let us know! It could be physical therapists, doctors, anybody so please let us know!)
