Megan Joy Frost's Big Debut
Well, our little girl made her debut yesterday (Oct. 13th, 2010 at 7:32 a.m.). She was 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 inches long. We are so glad that mom and baby bade it through the ordeal safe and sound. Enjoy some pics. I am sure there are more pics and posts to come!

Fall
I have loved the summer weather, but I am so excited it's starting to feel like fall outside. It is definitely my favorite season. The air is nice and crisp and it's the perfect weather for a light jacket. Love it! Plus fall brings my husband's favorite holiday--Halloween! We, of course, have already decorated...Patrick wanted to decorate starting about the middle of September, but we waited until the first day of October.
Fall is also supposed to bring the birth of our first child, but at this point, she still isn't here. I think the 2 weeks before my due date felt like an eternity (I just want the little sweetie here!), but now that I'm past my due date I think these days will feel even longer. I'm beginning to be convinced that she's never going to come. I know it's irrational, but I'm getting impatient and just want this birth thing over with so that we can start enjoying the new member of our family. Daddy has had a mid-term, final project, and final this week though, so maybe she's being courteous to him and waiting til he's done with all that. So, hopefully tomorrow after his final is over she will come meet the world. If not, we wait more. Luckily my doctors will only let me go a week over, so she's coming on October 14 whether she likes it or not! :) I can't imagine going 2 weeks over...it would be pure insanity.
Other good news, Chad comes home from his mission on October 15. Exactly one week from today. I think my mom is about ready to burst. She is impatiently waiting for her first grandchild and her oldest son to come home. All in the next week!
As for other updates, Patrick found a job which we are so grateful for. He works as a tutor at an elementary school. He has been working for a week. And now that I think about it, I have to repeal an earlier statement. I really wasn't very anxious about the baby coming until he started work on Monday. I was just freaked out about bringing a child into the world with no source of income. But since Monday, I've been anxious. Which has only been four days, but it seems like forever when you have nothing exciting to do but wait for labor. Patrick's job works nicely with his bizarre class schedule, so it is the perfect job. The one downside is that he will not receive a real paycheck until December 1 which means the job came just in time! Because another 2 months without income is about all we can handle.
Hopefully the next time I post on this thing I will have a picture of our cute Megan. If not, my worst fears have come true and I've been pregnant for the last 9 months with nothing inside me.

Scout Camp = Worst Ever
Okay, maybe not the worst ever. But it is really lonely without a husband for a week...come home! I resort to taking naps and looking at baby clothes online. :)

Babies Everywhere! :)
I am a bad blogger. But I'm trying to be better. So I'm giving an update on our lives.
I'm still pregnant and getting bigger by the minute! :) We are so excited to be having a girl and can't wait for her to get here (but can at the same time...lots of changes! :) We are most likely going to name her Megan Joy Frost unless some other name comes out of left field at us. She is a pretty calm baby and doesn't really squirm around too much . She mostly moves and kicks right after I eat or during loud, intense movies. I have resisted the urge to buy any clothes so far because I know that once I buy one thing, I'll just want to buy everything. So many cute baby things! Here are the pictures from our ultrasound 2 months ago.
As far as non-baby things go, Patrick and I are both working for the summer until we move up to Farmington at the middle/end of August when Patrick starts at the U. I am really sad about moving, but I know that it's a necessary change so we can continue on our crazy life adventure. I hate to leave BYU for good and I especially hate to leave our cute little apartment that really became home to me. I will miss this place!
Patrick and I are also both busy studying this summer. Patrick has been working to read the textbook for his 3 day prereq course that's in August. He LOVES the textbook and everything he's learning, so hopefully that is a good sign for the rest of the 2 year program. I have been beginning my studies for the CPA exam. It's a little overwhelming really. Especially with a baby coming in the middle of my testing time, but I hope everything turns out okay!
Other fun summer adventures: Patrick is going to scout camp in 2 weeks at Tifie. We also went to the Stadium of Fire for the 4th and saw Carrie Underwood. We love Carrie! We unfortunately weren't close enough to get any pictures of Carrie, but you can look at pictures of us! :) We absolutely want to go to another Carrie concert sometime. She is awesome!
