Things have been pretty busy around here for the two of us...Shad is in FULL swing at school, working hard with homework, law review, and his internship. He hardly has any free time, but still going strong. He really is the best student. And I've been going NUTS with work, we had a few people leave at work, and a few unforeseeable things happen at work. So the few of us left are working OVERTIME to keep the bank running. Which is both good and bad. Good: because I am making more money for us as this Holiday season, and baby quickly approach. Bad: because its a LOT of hours, and my poor feet and belly are starting to swell!! And 9.5 hour days on your feet ALL day is just a lot.
Pregnancy update: things are still progressing really well, I'm pretty sure he is having a major growth spurt right now, because my belly is getting bigger by the day. He is moving a lot, and we are more and more excited to become parents! I've been feeling great, minus the minor aches and pains that come along with pregnancy, back ache, swelling hands and feet, tiredness etc. But I'll attribute most of that to my LONG work days/weeks. The migraines and headaches have seemed to subsided, which is AWESOME!!!! I've been on some nasal spray for it, and that seemed to do the trick! Whoop!!!!! I've really been lucky with this pregnancy, not to be sick at all... and feel really good most of the time. :)
Here are some new belly pics. These are both after a looooong day at work, so excuse the tired face!
This is TWO DAYS later, and I look BIGGER!!! I think it's the shirt that makes it look bigger, this is maternity, where in the first picture I'm wearing regular clothes.
Baby names: We are so ecstatic about having a boy!!!! But are not really sure what we want to name the little guy. We are open to suggestions! The names we are currently batting around are: Owen (Shad's middle name), Cade, or Kasen. And we are thinking we want the middle name to be Zachary, my father's middle name. Right now our top choice is Owen Zachary... but I'm still not sold. The only thing I'm really opposed to is naming a name for a nickname. (I.E. if we name him Robert, we will call him Robert, not bob or robbie, etc. OR naming him Christopher John and calling him CJ) It's totally cute to have a nickname picked out, but for me, I'm just not a nickname kind of gal. If a nickname arises later in life, that's fine, but not before baby's born. :)
Lastly, I wanted to show off my latest BYU craft to display PROUDLY in my front room during football season. Which, when the season comes to a close, will then go into baby's room. Shad is thinking a BYU blue and white motif for baby is a good idea! :) I'm so proud of our Cougs this season, and they will continue to go on strong! I LOVE this time of year!

Love the BYU craft! Good job!
You are super cute. And 9.5 hours on your feet each day is YIKES! I walk around for an hour and my belly starts aching...like right now. I"m so glad your headaches are taking a hike. And yay for baby boy! We never really seriously think about names until a couple months before they're born, so I'm no help with names. I do like Owen though.
Yikes, that's a lot of work for you... but my goodness, what a fun time of life! Maybe it's nice to keep you distracted?! I can't wait for your boy, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Owen Zachary. I really think that is darling. P.S. We'll be in Spokane for Christmas if you guys want to get together!
You guys ROCK! I love the BYU theme Idea - and the craft! I really like the flow of Owen Zachary, Owen on it's own seems weird to me after hearing Shad Owen all my life LOL But it is cute for the Baby! Trak likes the name Owen too!
I think I swelled more when on my feet all day pregnant with Devin than I did with both the girls combined :( hope you get good brakes and can sit well enough!
I just realized the name would be named after Daddy and Granddaddy - all in one how cool is that!! Say 'HI' to your Lovely Awesome parents for us - we miss them! Can't wait to see you guys and the new little one!!!
you look so cute pregnant krista! my feet would kill after that long and i'm not even pregnant :) out of curiousity, what is the nasal spray? i get headaches from allergies and i'm wondering what is safe to take during pregnancy.
Cute BYU!!! Love it. I can't believe how much you are working, that is exhausting! But you are totally looking cute...Love the pregnant belly!
PS...Love Owen Zachary..that is really cute!
I love your craft!! I went to Michaels a couple days ago, hoping to buy some crafty things...but then couldn't decide on anything so I left empty handed. I had an interview today at a t shirt design company, it made me think of you and your silk screening days ha ha Your belly is so cute--you're getting closer every day to being done! Whoo hoo! I'm ready for him to pop out already! love you guys
I am loving the BYU theme. I have to suggest this name (cause you know Brad has already decided it for you)... Shasta. But really I like Owen.
Oh man my little Krista is all grown up! I won't lie I totally got teary eyed when I saw these new pictures. I just love you and am so delighted for you guys
Ok, so I love your baby names! I am not the right person to ask about boy names though cause we had the hardest time with it. But there was a cool name I found that is really celtic and it was really popular in Australia a few years ago, it was Lachlan (and it doesn't really have a nickname). I don't know if it is a little too weird for you guys though, Chad wasn't a fan, but he is picky. Oh, but Chad did change his mind about Cason, and I think we actually are going to use it, so I might steal it back - sorry! But I really love Owen Zachary, especially since he will be named after his dad and grandpa! That is so cute. I can't believe how much you are working, it's crazy. I bet it helps things go by faster though! I am going to call you this week after we find out where we are moving too, which we should know by friday!!! Our boys are going to have so much fun growing up together. Sorry I always leave you a novel : )
Love the BYU craft. Inspiring!
