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!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

By
Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

By
A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
