Happy Thanksgiving....

everyone!

We have so much to be grateful for! Our number one is having Evan here with us and having each other.
We spent the day with Matt's family since we'll be with my family tomorrow. We had a wonderful feast. I can actually enjoy food without getting so full with just a few bites later with a baby inside. That's another thing I'm grateful for. I'm not sharing my body with another! Sleep has been so nice as well but of course I'm waking up a few times during the night but Evan is well worth it. He wakes up just to eat and than he goes right to sleep.
Evan has his three week checkup tomorrow. Last week he weighed in at 7lb 5oz so he got most of his birth weight back. When we left the Hospital he weighed in at 6lb 15oz. Almost lost a whole pound. Life is so much easier when your milk comes in!

So sweet!

He was awake a little longer this morning so I had to take pictures with his eyes open.



This is the face I get when he's hungry

He's Here!!!...

And I think it only happened because we went to the BYU vs. TCU Football game the night before.


We didn't think he would ever come. Only three days late! I started having contractions around 4:00 in the morning.

Introducing Evan Matthew Thompson!

He was 7lb 13oz and 20" long. He was born at 3:15 pm



Evan is a very healthy baby boy.....

and loved by all!


Proud Grandparent's



Evan's Aunts are so happy that he's here that they will even change his diapers. Just look at his face!

Baby Shower!

I had my 3rd baby shower today. Matt stayed for this one because be was curious with what we do.

I'm glad he stayed because it was fun.Evan is going to look cute in all the clothes he got.

False Alarm!!!

I was having contractions all day Monday. I started monitoring them when they were happening so close together but they weren't hurting. They slowly got closer and closer. At 10:00pm we finally went into Labor and Delivery because they were 2 mins apart, even after lying down for an hour. After 4 hours we were sent home because I wasn't dilating. I was given morphine and a sleep aid so I could sleep. The last thing I remember was getting in the car. Later, Matt tells me I told him "I feel like you" It was nice not feeling pregnant for a little bit. I just didn't know I said it out loud.

Growing Belly!

32 weeks!

Mesquite

We took our friends Amy and Austin to Mesquite this last weekend. They never been so we thought it would be fun to go and who wouldn't want to go on vacation again? We spent our time in the water to beat the heat. I forgot to take pictures because we were having so much fun. We also braved the heat and rode Go Carts and played a game of Mini Golf. Saturday we made our way to Las Vegas. We went through a Temple Session. I hate myself for not taking pictures because it's such a beautiful Temple. I guess we just have to go again! Amy and Austin never walked the strip so we decided to stay an extra night to walk it. I'm glad we did because Matt and I never saw the falls at the Bellagio. It's also a fun Casino to walk through.


Since we were staying, we had to make a late night run to Wal-Mart for food and yes, we are in our pajamas.

If it weren’t for Amy, we wouldn’t have had these pictures.

What a rush!

This last week was the Thompson Family Reunion. We stayed in a small town just outside of St. George. It's always so nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and just get away especially when it's with family that you only get to spend time with once a year. I honestly wish it could have lasted longer. A surprise Baby Shower was thrown for me and Aunt Becky. I honestly got really cute things and can't wait for his appearance.

The family skits were a laugh. We role played "Nephi Builds a Ship". Matt was Nephi and I his wife.


Can you guess who the other family members were?
And there's always the family pictures before we left



During the reunion, Matt and I had to take a detour to San Diego for my older brothers wedding. We hopped on a late evening flight from Las Vegas so we could be there the following morning. The Wedding Ceremony was beautiful.

The Bride even more beautiful

22 Weeks pregnant!

After the reception and before we flew back to the reunion, we had time to watch the Padres play. We loved the looks on our Uncles faces when they heard we were there when they only got to watch it on TV. It was a good game!

It's a.....

Boy!!!!

and Matt and I couldn't be more happy about this! Do you think he looks more like his Daddy or his Mommy?

19 weeks.....

And starting to show!
