Then on Friday morning I had a doctor's appointment (36-week checkup). So my mom came with me and the doctor checked me out and said I was almost dialated to a 1 and was 50% effaced. Woohoo! Now that doesn't mean much I know, but it was still exciting. So then we went to Walmart to get some groceries and came home and my mom and I did some pilates and Wendy made a delicious coffee cake for the shower the next day. Then Jeremy came home around noon (yes!) and we all drove down to Provo to meet Heidi for lunch before her choir rehearsal. So we ate and went to her rehearsal and then went back to her dorm to practice our song for Sunday and to get ready for the Singers stuff that night. It was beautiful weather but so hot! It was in the 70s on Friday and Saturday, but I don't think they had turned on the air conditioner anywhere on BYU campus yet, so I was dying. The joys of being very pregnant. :) So Friday night was Singers stuff, which I'll blog about later, and also Heidi had a Concert Choir concert that we went to and it was excellent!
So Saturday was the shower and more Singers stuff (blogging and pictures to come next) and then Sunday we went to my ward and sang a gorgeous arrangement I found of "Where Can I Turn for Peace". It splits into 5 and 6 parts at times (we had to leave out a note here and there since there's only 5 of us) and it was really hard and tight harmony. It's so fun to sing with family because we all blend so well. My sister Amy said she would put up a video of it on her blog, so I'll post a link when she does.
Then we came home from church and ate a yummy dinner and sat around and talked. We had this fun book called "The Color Code" where it talks about the four different "colors" or personality types. So we all found out what we were and it was really fun. To no one's surprise I am very red. :) Out of 45 questions I had 25 red, 9 yellow, 6 blue, and 5 white. Jeremy had 26 white, 11 blue, 7 yellow, and 1 red. No wonder we're perfect for each other! They actually said in the book that the red-white relationship is really good and strong - very complementary. Anyway, so my mom is a red/blue (you always have one dominant and one secondary; I'm a red/yellow), Amy and Wendy are blue/red and Heidi is yellow/red. It was really fun! We were laughing at the fact that everyone in our family is so red and hardly anyone has any white in them. Good thing we have Jeremy!
So Amy, my mom, and Heidi all left Sunday night and then Wendy left Monday afternoon. Wendy and I had a fun time relaxing on Monday. We rented Twilight and watched that and just chatted and got ready for her to go. It was so fun and I'm so glad I have such wonderful sisters and a wonderful mother! Thanks everyone for coming! We had a packed house (they all stayed at our house) but it was so much fun. Next time I see them I'll have a baby!!!
Thursday morning after Amy got here:

I never would have guessed that you are a red, Sarah. It was great to see you this weekend, but I wish we could have talked more. I can't wait to see pictures of your baby. Love, Jill W
I had SERIOUSLY considered surprising you at the shower with your quilt and window covering (I work better under pressure and with a deadline). Now that I know you sang on Sunday with all your sister's and your mother I am REALLY sad that I missed that. The Sacrament singing alone would have been worth the trip! Can't wait for the video!
So cool that your baby will have cousins the same age!
I love all your posts! One of these days I will post, too. That was such a fun weekend. Thanks for letting us stay at your house. Can't wait to see your cute little babe!
