Settled in Kansas: 9 Months and Counting...


We are finally settled in here in Kansas, and closed on our house in Houston yesterday. We will really miss it, and all of our good friends there! We've only been in KC for 2 1/2 weeks, but it seems like much longer - perhaps because I am carrying a watermelon around on my front!

Earlier this week, I officially reached 9 months. Baby Cami is due Nov. 12, and we are ready for her (or as ready as we can be). As the photos indicate, our childbirth classes have been very enlightening, particularly for Chris! While he denies it, I feel he truly enjoyed wearing the empathy belly :). We take our hospital tour tonight, and I am very interested in exploring what they call the "nourishment room". Once the baby comes, my gestational diabetes should fade quickly, and I will get to taste the sweet goodness of the holiday season, at least in moderation. We'll make sure to post some pics of the little sweetie soon after birth!

Chris is enjoying his job here with Office Depot, where he is developing contracts for education and government business. I have mostly been trying to get our things organized here in our temporary location, my parent's house, and searching the area for a new home. We've also been able to spend lots of time with family, especially my nieces and nephews, who can be very entertaining. So that is life in Kansas - we'll keep you updated about the birth & more!

Hey Chris I was just searching Sarah Nelson's blog and noticed "Diggins Universe" I had to check it out... This is Liz (formerly Pingree) Odle. If you don't remember me from freshman year at BYU feel free to take a look at my blog and my picture might remind you. Glad to see you are happy and things seem to be going great with your family. Good luck with the new baby and here is my blog. odlefam.blogspot.com

Carrie, you are so cute! I thought I would check Chels's blog for ya and see if you had that baby yet. We should've done the parenting class together - I would pay good money for Devin to wear one of those bellies. :o) You look adorable. I though I'd see ya at conference last weekend but I was too pregnant (you know the days) and tired and slept the day away since it was the only week that I didn't HAVE to go to church due to Young Women commitments. *naughty me*. Anywho, you probably had your babe by now - I still have a couple weeks (exactly 3 tomorrow) but don't think I'll make it that long.

Congrats if you've had her and good luck if you are still waiting!

The Fantasias!
