Hello world! Why is it so hard to keep up on blogging!? The thing that makes me really sad is this blog is for me, my family, and my posterity so you think I would be better about writing on it!! Oh well, I will keep trying! Things are going really well for the Gurmans at the moment. We got through the semester and Hayden did awesome! One B+ and four A's!!! He works so hard and is really smart! He only has two semesters left at BYU and will graduate in December! Yay!
The holidays were fantastic! We went down to Queen Creek, AZ for thanksgiving and celebrated with Jodi and her family, my parents, and Eric. It was such a great week! The weather was beautiful and our kids had a blast playing outside and with their cousins everyday.
We drove to Bakersfield, CA on December 14th and got there on the 15th. Eric showed up the next night. We all had a wonderful Christmas! There were lots of fun surprise presents, one of which was the xbox 360 kinect I bought for Hayden (and our family). It is really fun to play and I figure it is better to be up moving around than sitting on our bums just watching TV or something. It was so nice to spend some intimate quality time with my parents before all the rest of the siblings showed up the day after Christmas. Then things got crazy! 9 grandkids equals a lot of screaming and running around ha ha. All the cousins have so much fun playing together. Oh yeah and we got to talk to Brian on Christmas day, which was awesome!! He is doing great and his french is so beautiful! I can't wait for him to be home in August!!
Hayden and I had decided earlier that we were going to leave Bakersfield and go back home to Provo before New Year's just because I was over 38 weeks and didn't want to risk going into labor at my parent's house, although I think they all wanted me too! So we drove back home on Thursday and since then every day we have spent cleaning and organizing and just getting everything ready for baby Coast to get here! We went through all the baby boy clothes and got them all ready and it made me soooooooo excited to meet Coast! I want him to be here already!!
My due date is tomorrow, January 8, hence I will be 40 weeks!! I really hope I go into labor soon!! My parents are driving here today and then my dad leaves Tuesday and my mom will be here about a week! I am so excited to see them and hope that I have the baby while my dad is here! He's going to carry his name after all (Coast Mark Gurman). Have I mentioned I am doing a natural birth!? Ha ha, well I am! I will deliver at the American Fork hospital, but with no pain medications. Julie is probably going to come when I go into labor as well. She's never seen a live birth so mine will be her first! Hope it goes smoothly!! Well, I think that's it for now. School has started up again and Hayden has a really good schedule and good classes. Our twins are doing great and are so adorable and so smart. They learn new things everyday and I can't wait for them to meet their new baby brother!
