*Brooke's remains were finally found 5 1/2 years after she was abducted. It was a relief to finally have closure, but a difficult time as the past experiences came crashing back. I am grateful that she has been found and can be put to rest. I love you Brooke!
* Brett and I started and finished our child birth class at the hospital. At first I decreed that I would no longer be going through with the labor and delivery and that Bubba would be staying in my stomach forever. However, after watching some videos of women who had an epidural, I decided that I could maybe have this baby.
*I finished all of my craft projects and have now become a bored, lonely, pregnant housewife. Thank goodness Super Saturday is coming up so I can get some new things to work on.
*Brett had his White Coat Ceremony (which is a pretty big deal in the medical world) and you now get to see how incredibly fat I am at 37 weeks pregnant. Here are some shots from that big event:
Here's Brett with his two study buddies, Sam and Dave... The Terrific Trio!
Yep, here we are.... big belly and all. (Funny story... some girls in Brett's class were talking to him the day after White Coat and asked when I was due. Brett told them in about 2 weeks and they said, "Oh good, we were walking behind you guys and her ankles were HUGE!! We felt so bad for her!" So, really, the fatness is EVERYWHERE. Oh, how I wanted to be a cute pregnant lady...)
He is so stoked about his White Coat!* I had a quick jaunt to the hospital on Saturday because I was feeling slightly out of it. We had gone to Mesa earlier that morning and it was 100 degrees and I think I got a little overheated. We got home and I was super dizzy, lightheaded, and felt like my head weighed about 7 trillion pounds. After several hours of this, Brett decided we should get me checked out. However, my doctor is out of town this weekend, so we had to go to the hospital instead. 3 1/2 hours and many tests later, it was decided that I do NOT have high blood pressure problems, but probably just got a little dehydrated. So I drank and drank and drank the fluids they provided, took a couple of Tylenol and was scooted out the door. I was ordered to take it easy for the next week and make sure I'm drinking enough.
Ok, so I think those are the highlights of the past month for the Waite Family. I will make sure to post some pictures of Bubs when he comes.... we are getting SO ridiculously excited/terrified! It will be awesome!

You are cute pregnant, how dare you say you aren't...just wait til i'm married and pregnant...i have no hopes!!!! Hehehe...hope everything is going well, i've been worried about you since you haven't written in awhile and with Brooke being found so i'm glad it was just computer problems. You are in my prayers!!! (btw have you read keira's recount of childbirth...it's so hilarious!)
Epiderals are amazing...you will do great! Best of luck! I am excited to see Michael.
Yeah, you're back! I think you look cute, but having just come out of that phase, I don't think we're very lucky. We're not the type of pregnant women who just get the little basketball- we have the privilege of swelling up everywhere! Can't wait to meet little Bubba, still trying to figure out a way to make that happen. Congrats Brett on your white coat! You look so professional!! Hang in there guys! And try to get as much sleep as you can this week...love you both!
I thought about you when I heard the news about Brooke. I am so glad that there is closure to that horrific event. And I agree with Stacie, you are a cute pregnant lady! I am so excited for you and have so much respect for you being pregnant in Arizona IN THE SUMMER!!!!! HOLY COW! I can't wait for your little bundle of joy to get here. Miss you!
