Pure Perfection

Our little piece of heaven was sent to us Friday, October 17th at 6:49pm. MalaKai Marion Probert was 7lbs 15oz and 20 inches long. Here he is, calm as can be, a few moments after birth relaxing on mommas chest. I cannot express how much joy i felt through the whole process of briging him into the world. He is a daddy look alike with my fat lips, so precious! I love him more and more every moment. We cannot wait for all the fun time ahead with our new little family!

St. George

We have so loved living in the just right size town of St. George, Utah. It is just big enough to always remain interesting and small enough to still feel cozy. Not to mention it's beautiful landscape. If you can survive the intense summers and won't miss the snow then this is the place for you! While biding my time waiting for this precious baby boy to decide to be born I have enjoyed being outside and walking around a few of the historic sites of our town that are close to our home. The weather is absolutely beautiful right now! Here are a few pictures of my wonderings for your viewing pleasure:)
(The picture above is of the middle of St. George. We live just to the left of the temple. It is wonderful to be able to walk out and see it from our front door everyday.)

Momma Judy, What a Woman!

My mother-in-law (who hates to be called that, she is mom!), Judy Probert, is such an amazing lady. Living in Oregon she has been dying not being able to be around during my pregnancy because she loves to be involved in everything and do what ever she can to make every experience special for her family. To our complete delight and surprise she was able to come to St. George! She came Tuesday October 2nd and hopefully will be able to stay until the baby is born (my due date is tomorrow. I don't really want to talk about it). Ever since she arrived she has catered to our every need and beyond. Not only cleaning and cooking every day (love it!), but being so much fun and such a riot! I have completely enjoyed every minuet of having her here. Her love and support during this time has been exactly what I have needed. Her spirit has brought so much joy to our home. I love her so much and have enjoyed our bonding time thoroughly. Thanks momma Judy!

Just a waiting!

Here I am! Full grown. As you can see I am retaining water now, swollen hands, feet, and face! So much fun. 8 days until our due date and I really cannot wait. Over these past two weeks I have not been working so it has been somewhat of a challenge to pass the time quickly. I've probably organized and re organized everything about a million times, cleaned out drawers and closets, read some old books, and laying around way too much! While poor McKay is so busy every minuet with full time work and school, never with a complaint. He is so completely wonderful! One thing I have really enjoyed is being able to go to the pool almost every day. It is so relaxing. Most of the time I am the only one there, or on rare occasion McKay and Jake come out with me. Anyway, that is about all I have to update. We are just in complete anticipation of this little baby and I don't really think about much else these days!

Here are some more pregnant pictures so no one can complain any more that they haven't seen me pregnant! And of the beautiful pool that we are able to use!

McKay loves that my belly is now bigger than his!

Sorry if the bare bellies gross you out but I just love it!

So great!

Obviously I had some company this day! (I can't wait to loose the excess weight, it really is not flattering:) But so worth it!)
