38 Weeks

Here's what's on my mind lately:

My last day of work is next Friday...
Gotta wash more baby clothes...
Wow, I'm really waddling now...
Bills...ugh...
Prenatal massage tomorrow - Stay in there baby!...
I can pretty much grab that foot that's jabbing my side...
It could be tomorrow - eek!!...
Am I ready? Really?...


AHHH!! I'm so excited. Probably one of those giddy, ignorant exciteds (if that's a word), but I don't care! I can't wait to change poopies, wait on her hand and foot, and be up all night! Hopefully my naive excitedness helps me get through some of the challenges. I'll let ya know how that goes!

36 Weeks!

I feel like the obnoxious kid on a road trip "Are we there yet?? Are we there yet??" ... I am so excited!!! Hurry up and get here!!

So Ty went with me to a prenatal class yesterday and boy did we get an ear full...and an eye full!! We watched some birthing videos...well, let me rephrase that.
I watched some birthing videos, while Ty looked in the other direction. It's definitely too late to turn back now! Ahh!!!

General Conference was great! We watched the Sunday sessions, and I think my favorite was President Monson's "Be of Good Cheer". It's pretty amazing what some people endure and how they're able to keep their spirits up. Whew. It's a good one!

Four more weeks! Here I come!

Cute Face!!!

I visited the ultrasound tech today and got this darling shot of her face!! Ahh!! SO CUTE!!! She is in the right position (head down) and is definitely a girl :0)

So, I attended a breastfeeding class tonight (which Ty respectfully declined to come to), and among the many myths I got cleared up, it is true - Breast is Best! haha... I was actually surprised by the things I learned! Who knew there was more to it???

34 Weeks!

There's nothing left to clean and I'm ready for my 3rd nap for the day! I did a water aerobics class yesterday and I thought I got hit by a truck later on. This is getting a little ridiculous, I think. I'm definitely not used to feeling like the fat kid who can't play tag for more than 5 minutes!

The following video demonstrates the daily activity of our little creation...

The one who will bring us endless joy and laughter...
The one who will teach us true love and charity...
The one who makes me feel like the fat kid at the playground...

P.S. We are keeping our cat.
We found him a home and he was actually gone for a whole day! But the owner didn't realize her kid was allergic, so we got him back! I actually cried like a hormonal pregnant lady the day after we gave him away, so I'm glad to have the little squirt here where he belongs!

32 Weeks!

Oh Joy! Look at her grow!
I just saw my friend's newborn this week and I was so giddy! We were laughing at how she was worried her baby would come out with 3 eyes or 11 toes (as I'm sure many mothers can relate). To her relief, her baby has all the right numbers. We'll see about ours though right?

Back to work tomorrow! It's a little strange to imagine not working outside the home anymore, but I couldn't be happier to be a mom! I think I have a rude awakening coming for me though. This weekend we were with family for a wedding, and I found myself thinking with all the little nieces and nephews running awry, "Ew, his hands are filthy and he just stuck them in his mouth!", and "Don't come near me with that runny nose!", and of course I'm cringing at every crumb being dropped on the floor. Boy, have I got it comin'.

As for Ty... he is happily busy with all his latest projects and wishes there was more time in the day! He can't wait to be a daddy and indulge his little girl's every desire, but we'll see about that. :0)
