Water Aerobics

Image
By

At 38 weeks I'm still feeling good (at least as good as a humongous pregnant woman can feel). With only 10 days till my due date I went to a water aerobics class. I'm not gonna lie, it was rough bouncing around with that big belly, but I must admit that I feel much better now. Being in the water felt so good on my poor joints. Part of me really just wanted to float around. Secretly I was hoping all of the jumping around would trigger my labor, but alas it did not. I guess he is perfectly content in there.

As for other updates for those who want to know . . . my last appointment I was 70% effaced but still only dilated to 1cm. At least I'm making some sort of progress. Hopefully being active will help things progress, but I'm not holding my breath. The doctor kindly reminded me that first time births are usually late and said that right after he told me he would be very surprised if our little man weighed less than 9 lbs. Woo Hoo! What I have to look forward to.

Anyway, sorry this is a boring post and an ugly picture. It is mostly for my own records and remembrance. 38 weeks and still active . . . I'd say that is pretty good wouldn't you? Anyway, I'll keep you posted but hopefully this little guy will come sooner rather than later. Especially if he is as big as they say he is going to be!

I loved taking water aerobics when I was pregnant! It was my favorite thing ever!

Getting out of the pool was the worst, it reminded me that I was 200 pounds!

And the good news is, the bigger the baby is, the better they sleep!

Oh Rebecca I'm sorry! It will be good to go to full term or longer if you can hold out! They are much easier babies so I've heard ... more ready for the world :) Good luck and keep us posted. By the way you are so dang cute! Totally jealous!

wow... are you SURE there aren't twins in there, Bec? lol. My doctor told me the same thing about first babies being late and Thad came a week and a half early. Just keep hope alive!

Hang in there Becca. My doctor also said I'd go at least til their due date, but Soren came nearly a week early. The thing that triggered real contractions for me was going to the zoo and walking for a few hours... so just keep active and that will help. You're doing great, and you will only have this tummy a little longer. A 9 pounder...good luck with everything!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
