Christmas Tree

Today we got out and set up the Christmas Tree! This way when Scooter arrives I won't have to worry abotu doing so and taking care of a newborn. Since we're still in the middle of remodeling please excuse the different color paint, and flooring. With time it will all be one :) We've just been focusing on the bedrooms since they are more important to have finished for the kids and us.
The tree is also in between the kitchen and the dinning room... weird I know. With the surprise of getting the piano last weekend we didn't have time to clean up the office and move the desk and computer in there yet. So we had to find a new spot for the tree this year, and it looks fine, just a weird place for a tree when you sop and thinking about it lol. I must say it looks rather cute though. Thanks for the help getting it out and putting on the star Clint!!

(We even have a few gifts under the tree already)

Scooter's Room

Scooter's room is finally finished and ready for his arrival anyday now. Clint and his dad worked hard to get the room finished with the new deadline of when baby boy is to come. It looks good and we're just playing the waiting game now. My Dad has an office in their house that is all about animals/ africa (he served his mission there for our church), so Clint decided that Scoot's room is to be known as Africa Junior.

In between the middle 2 heads, we'll put his name once we annouce what it is :)

Happy, HAPPY girl!

Growing up we had a piano all my life. Music has been a big part of my family's life, we all sing, and took piano lessons, and each play some other kind of instrument, we even all danced. So since Clint and I don't have a piano I would take all my piano music to church once a month or so and make the family stay after so I could play for a little while. Well about 2 months ago one of the men in the Branch asked if we had one at home and I said I didn't that's why I play there. He then made my day and told me we could have theirs. No one in their house plays anymore, but then he said he of course had to go home and make sure with the wife it was alright... it was. So today was the day, the piano is now in my living room!! Thanks to the Hamilton's I have a piano. It needs some work done, a few of the keys stick and don't play. However compared to paying for a piano, we are more than happy to pay to have the few things fixed with time. I'm just so excited!!!!

KY Baby Shower

This past Thursday I headed down to my parents for a baby shower. We had a few of my friends growing up there and some of the ladies from the ward as well. We had fun playing a game and just catching up with one another. It was a good time and I'm glad I went and the gifts were a plus ;) Thanks to my sisters, mom, and grandma for having it for me.

UK Fan for life! He will bleed blue like his Mom!

Fall and Halloween

Since my last post much has happened, so where to start?!

Well a quick update for those who don't know, Clint has had some health issues that we've been trying to figure out before the baby gets here, so we've been having lots of tests. So far nothing much has been shown on the results as to why and what is preventing them, but he's been having seizures. Which then means the house has not been worked on much, which is okay I'd rather have a healthy husband than a baby room finished. However it has been nice that his actual dad, Steve, has made a few trips up to help out. He's helped to take out a bathroom, mud and paint 2 closets, and flooring. Yesterday he came up and helped start and finish the flooring in the room, so now we just have to get the trim up, the doors up, and the shelf in the closet. After that's all complete we can start moving this kid into his room!

One Friday night we headed to the church chili cook off/ Halloween trunk or treat with the boys. We all looked cute in our shirts.

Of course having been October that means fall, and Halloween. For those of you who have not realized I love this time of year mostly for one reason.... PUMPKINS! So Clint and I carved ours one night a couple of weeks ago. I don't think Clint realized how much I get into carving until he took 30 mins or so and I took about 2 hours... (this includes gutting and everything) tehehe. 

  

For Halloween this year the twins were Mario and Luigi. If I might say so myself, they looked super cute.

Onto more baby news. With my blood condition I have, my doctor has been monitoring me closer than normal. Well this past week I went in for another ultra sound and appointment. We got some good and bad news all at the same time. Scooter is growing just fine and is still measuring rather larger for his "age". At 30 weeks he is guessed to be about 6 pounds 8 ounces, now if he really is who knows. On the bad news side, he is literally draining me and the placenta. As the doc explained it to us on a scale of 1-10, 10 being a healthy placenta that is fully functional mine is at a 2. Taking this into consideration and my condition, I will not be allowed to go full term. Myself and him are going for stress tests each week now to monitor him and see if he is still getting the nutrients he needs. Whenever my doctor feels it is unsafe for him, or myself she will  make the final call and either help to induce labor as I am already dilating, or if need be, have a c-section. In other words this little guy could come any day now. We're hoping he will hold on a little longer so I don't have to start shots to help his lungs develop and so he can cook more. We do know though he will not be a Christmas baby which makes me happy :) 

I think that about does it for this 'quick' update on our family. Hope all is well with everyone else!

Family Baby Shower

While we had all of us home for Grandma's baptism, we thought we'd have the first baby shower where all the Burnett's got to attend... (grandma also of course). So my family had a little baby shower with just us. We were enjoying the girl time we figured the fun shouldn't end there, and we headed out shopping.  At the end of the day Clint and I got lots of fun things for Scooter (nickname).

Thanks again everyone for all you did for us!

Grandma's Baptism

After so many years of waiting and many of prayers, Grandma made the choice to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My mom joined when she was a teenager and every since then, she's always had hopes that someday her mother would as well. My grandfather passed away years ago and since then has had his work done. Since this has been a day our family has awaited for years we all wanted to attend. So Heather and her family made the trip from Utah and Clint and I made the trip down as well. To have everyone home and able to share the wonderful day with Grandma was amazing.
