Less than three weeks to go...

Hey family and friends!
Now--don't get all worried; this little girl isn't ours! This is Chris and me with the adorable Emrie Holden. She is a cutie!!

Greetings from Provo. This week has been a whirlwind of activity. It’s unbelievable how daunting the week seems on Monday morning, but by Friday afternoon, you wonder what the heck just happened!
On Monday night, we went to one of my professors’ houses. Professor Cutchins teaches my capstone course for my major (we’re studying Mark Twain and Henry James). He hosted a movie night, where we watched Somewhere in Time, which is loosely based off of A Sense of the Past, one of the last novels written by James. Chris joined me for the first half of the movie, and then Russ picked him up to go play some basketball. The movie wasn’t as long as I had expected (it’s pretty good…for an early eighties movie!) so I drove quickly over to Provo High where the boys were playing.
Russ and Chris were filling in for a friend of Russ’s who couldn’t make it to the game; he had asked Russ to find some extra guys and he called Chris. I get to the gym; the scoreboards aren’t on, so I sat with Adri for awhile—I ended up catching the last bit of the game. The boys came up to us in the stands and informed me that the team they played against were mostly former UVU basketball players…enough said!
On Tuesday morning, I found myself at my doctor’s office for my first cervical checkup—everything is fine and Lizzie won’t be coming relatively soon (I hope)! I’m still pretty quiet in terms of Braxton-Hicks contractions and the like. My next appointment is on Tuesday, and if nothing has changed, I will get an ultrasound just to make sure Lizzie is head down and feet up. I kinda hope I get an ultrasound because I haven’t had one since…July! It would be pretty neat to “see” her so soon before she is actually born! I see the doctor every week from now until Lizzie arrives.
I’m trying very hard to remember the rest of the week, but BYU’s horrid loss to UofU is blocking the happy part of my memory haha. No, really though, it was depressing—we lost 48-24...Max Hall was responsible for all six turnovers: five interceptions and a fumble. Needless to say, Provo is a sad town at the moment. The ONLY good thing we can say about this game is the fact that the Mountain West will have a showing in a BCS bowl this season. We are still going to a bowl game; TCU will likely go to the Vegas Bowl, so we could end up at the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego or the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth (which would be AMAZing). We shall see…
This is me, at thirty-seven weeks. Excuse the hoodie; I didn't feel like taking it off. I am sure you still get the idea!
Well, have a great week—I will keep you updated as always when I get any important information regarding Lizzie or us in general.
