It is officially the big day! In about seven hours Scott and I are due at the University Hospital in SLC to be induced to have our sweet baby girl. I should be sleeping, but of course, I can't. I don't think I have ever been so nervous in my life. In anticipation of this day, Scott and I have done a lot of praying and fasting with our family and friends (I pray, not fast, I am pregnant after all), and have tried very hard to remain optimistic. On Tuesday we went to the Jordan River Temple, just the two of us, and sat in the celestial room, just hoping for some peace. It was really nice and comforting for us, and I am thankful that we were able to do it. Scott, my dad, and my father-in-law also gave me a blessing tonight, and afterwards the two dads gave Scott a blessing as well. We are very scared about everything tomorrow, but are willing to accept God's will. We just wanted to thank everyone who has helped us in any way over these last few difficult months, even if it was just through prayer. It really means the world to us that so many people really care. We also want to thank everyone for being patient and understanding when we shut everyone out to deal with things on our own, and for respecting our wishes when we didn't want to talk about it. We love you all and appreciate all the support we have been given.
On a different note, since today was my last day being pregnant with this baby we decided to take a few belly photos for posterity. While I was pregnant with Dex we did some pics of Corbin kissing my belly, so we thought it would be fun to do that again. So if you don't like seeing stretch marks, don't look (I am covered with them), but if you don't mind enjoy. I think the pics turned out very cute.

Chelle you will constantly be in our thoughts today. We wish the best for you and the beautiful baby girl that you will be blessed with today. I can't wait to hear she's arrived and what she will be named. We love you both and your adorable children too!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers all day!! I love you guys so much, and wish for the best with your beautiful little girl. I can't wait to hear her name!! We love you all!!
I forgot, I like Dexy hair cut! It looks good!
Adorable pictures! Your boys are so sweet.
I hope all is going well for your family. You guys are in our prayers. It's amazing the peace that can come from the temple. How neat that you and Scott were able to go and also to receive blessings from your dads. It's amazing the perspective the gospel brings.
Chelle and Scott you will be in our thoughts and prayers as well. We love you guys and wish you all the best.
Hey Chelle, I just found your blog off of your moms. I hope all goes well with your delivery. I have been praying for you since my mom told me about your baby. We are expecting our third in April - we find out in two weeks what we are having. Anyway, I hope you know who I am and don't think I'm some crazy blog stalker who likes to look at cute pregnant belly pictures.
I just saw the picture of Ivy on moms page. She is so beautiful, I love the black hair. Congrats!!!
