I look out my window and what do I see...

Well, popcorn is not popping anymore but all my apricots are falling!!! These picture was the day after we threw away 5 or 6 bags of bad apricots and kept 5 buckets of good apricots. I decided the next house we buy will NOT have fruit trees!! I did learn how to make jam from all those apricots though. My mother-in-law came up and helped me which I greatly appreciate. So I guess I at least got good jam out of the horrible mess in my backyard!

Cute little girl

Olivia is now 10 days old and we are loving every minute of it. She is such a good baby, we really lucked out!! This is the dress she wore for her first Sunday going to church. Maybe I am a little biased but I think she looks pretty dang cute!! Dexter loves his little sister. He watches everthing she does. Whenever anybody comes over and holds her, he has to check them out and make sure she is OK. This is him watching her why she is getting her diaper changed.
He is so good with her!!!

She loves her swing, which is great because it lets me gets some stuff done.

Olivia Chaliese Payne

She is finally here!!! She was born Sunday, July 20th at 10:25 am. 6lbs 10 oz and 19 long. I'll post more later with some more pictures.

BORED out of my mind!!!

Well, I am sad to say that I am still prego! I am now a week overdue and I am going crazy. I stopped working on the 3rd so I have just been bumming around at home with Dexter, my cute little Shih Tzu puppy. I get so bored that I look forward to going to the grocery store to get milk! It becomes the highlight of my day!! I have worked since I was 15 so this is a big change for me. Since I am home, with NO BABY, I found ways to entertain myself...

1. I have done a bunch of my genealogy. It really is fascinating to do and I really enjoy it. Now, I just need to actually take the names to the temple....

2. I have developed a love for Live with Regis and Kelly. Kelly is hilarious so yes, I watch it faithfully every morning!!

3. I think this is the cleanest my house has EVER been.

4. Scrapbook.

5. Look at peoples blogs a little more than I should, so people please update so I have something new to read!!!

Other than that I just sit around hoping to feel some contractions or have my water break. But, there is end in sight! I am scheduled to be induced Wednesday the 23rd, if I have not had her before then. So, whether she likes it or not, she is coming out in less than a week!!!!

Finally a new post!!

I know I have not posted forever but for my defense, I have been kinda busy getting ready for the baby. Plus we haven't done anything too exciting to post about. I had a baby shower a couple of weeks ago. A lot of my family and friends were able to come so it was really fun. My mom is so excited to be a grandma, she went all out. She made this diaper castle for the shower. This thing was intense!!! It had so much stuff on it and of course diapers are definitely needed. Both me and Casey's parents are so excited, they call at least once a day to ask if I am in labor yet. Hopefully soon!! For the fourth we went to my Grandparents house and had a BBQ which is always fun and we took a belly picture. It's getting bigger, finally, now that I am due on Friday!! My doctor has been concerned because I am so small but we've done extra ultrasounds to check on the baby and she is just fine. So hopefully next time I post, it will be about a new baby girl with some cute pictures!!!
