Baby Update

I went to the Dr. yesterday and I will start going every week now. The last two times I had been measuring a few weeks small, he thinks its just because I am a small person and carry small, (althought I dont feel like it right now)  but wants to make sure everything is developing and she is still growing so next time he will do an ultrasound. I cant wait to see what she looks like, the last one I had was at 20 weeks.

He gave me a couple different scenarios of what could happen. If she is measuring small because she is not getting enough blood flow or the placenta is not providing enough nutrients then it does her no good to be inside me anymore and is safer to let her grow outside the uterus and he would induce me no later than 37 weeks. Which I am okay, that is considered full term and he said she will be find and healthy. And Heck, I would get to go 3 weeks early! However, if he does take me at 37 weeks and I am not dialated he will most likely just plan for a c-section because the induced labor would be too much stress on a smaller baby. I am NOT excited about this option, but it is what it is and if thats how she has to get here then so be it. My Dr. said not to plan on either scenario until the ultrasound next week because most likely she is just small because I am small and I could go the full 40 weeks. So I will keep you all posted what we find out next tuesday!

Here is a pic of me at 35.5 weeks

33.5 weeks update

Please excuse my un-made bed in the background with clothes all over it. I am definitely feeling pregnant these days! They say it gets worse at the end but I hope it doesn't get any harder than it is right now. Sleeping is good every other night because the first night I toss and turn and wake up at 4:30, so naturally the next night I am so tired from lack of sleep the night before I have a good nights rest. If I don't wake up until 10 or 11, I don't even feel bad because I am enjoying as much sleep as i possibly can right now. Acid Reflux, frequent urination, cramped legs, and tight and exploding stomach are also very prevalent these days.  I am SO ready to not be pregnant anymore and just feel normal again. To be able to bend over and pick something up, to get on the counter when I cant reach something, to go up the stairs without having to catch my breath half way through, wearing normal clothes and so many other things. I don't mean to complain too much (too late i guess) but I am getting very anxious for our baby girl to be here! I am looking forward to holding and cuddling with a precious new baby!

Utah Baby Shower

I am not very good at taking pictures at these things I guess, I dont have pictures of even half the people that came and Im sorry, but here are a few. My sweet friend Brandi from work offered to throw me a baby shower with all my friends and family in Utah. It was so cute! She did a pickles and Ice cream theme, sounds weird but it was super cute! Everyone was SO generous and I dont know what I would do without all of you. I got a pack-n-play, a swing, some great gift cards to target for some big ticket items on my registery, a bumbo chair, lots of cute outfits, toys, and blankets!

I was so happy to have my two closest and longest friends Janelle and Amber there with me. I have known them basically my whole life and I am glad they still live close enough to me to be able to come

Oh Christmas Tree!

When we got home from Oregon I couldnt wait to put up our tree. I was so lucky to get this tree for FREE! A friend was actually going to throw it away cause she couldnt find someone to give it away too. Luckily I mentioned something on facebook just in time and scored!

Oregon Baby Shower

Okay so there arent tons of pictures, but a few. I was so glad we were able to have a shower when I was home with all my family in Oregon. My cousin Brittnee also gave me TONS of clothes that she wasnt using for her 2 year old Emma, I cant say enough how grateful I am that she is willing to share because without her I would have to buy so much clothes! We had some yummy cupcakes and my mom made this DELISH rasberry, blackberry, almond, mousse, roll thing. I dont even know what it was but it was SO good. Thanks to everyone who came to my shower and for your lovely gifts. I got alot of great stuff.

Thanksgiving

I am SO behind on bloggins so I am going to do some serious catching up. Starting with Thanksgiving. We went to my parents house in Oregon for the first time in 5 years for me! It was so nice to be home and with all my family, we have always gone to Tysons parents just cause its closer and we usually dont get much time off for Thanksgiving that it really worth the drive for only a few days. But we had a double purpose this time. Daniel had also just got home from his mission in the Philippines only a few days before. So we had lots of family there for his Homecoming talk as well. The drive was AWFUL, we will be flying for sure next time no matter what it costs. Usually its about a 12-14 hours drive on good roads, but it was over 18 hours both ways with lots of black ice, packed snow, and snowy passes. Not to mention lots of potty breaks for the pregnant lady. Speaking of which, my mom also threw me a baby shower with friends and family. I will post about that as well! I have to admit I was so glad to be home just because I was so nervous we were going to die either driving there or back. I am such a nervous nelly these days.

31.5 weeks

Its been too long since I last posted a picture. I cant believe I am getting so close! Baby girls moves SO much! Her kicks have turned into somersaults and twirling around and it feels so weird and cool at the same time. Sometimes I can feel body parts like feets and hands and its just so weird to imagine her little body inside me. Its the coolest feeling. I had a baby shower when we went home for thanksgiving to Oregon and I have another one here this weekend in Utah. The nursery is still coming along but not quite finished. I cant believe she is going to be here so soon!
