10 Weeks and Counting


It is hard to believe that we are this close! This pregnancy has seemed to FLY by! I know the time will only pass slower as I get bigger, but still, it is CRAZY to think that we will meet this little lady in just over 2 months! She is already about 16 inches long and weighs about 3 lbs. And she is a strong one!

I'm feeling good; last week was pretty miserable since both me and P were sick but we are both starting to feel much better. I'm oddly less uncomfortable then I was just a month ago, maybe it is because I finally popped so she has more room to move, who knows really, but I do appreciate it. It is definitely getting harder to do a lot of things. Mainly anything that requires bending over and also carrying P for even short distances makes me breath pretty hard. Now that could also be a result of my recent illness and Asthma flaring up, but either way I feel pretty silly huffing and puffing as I was to the car. I am trying to remember that when I carry him I am also carrying the wee one which ads up to about 45 extra lbs at this point, so that makes me feel a little better.

So far so good and everything seems to be measuring right on, THANK GOODNESS! I think we all know I measured big last time. Lol. I haven't heard anything back about my glucose screening, so I'm taking that as a good sign. Also, I'm pretty sure this was my last stretch of 1 month appointments and now I will be going every two weeks which really means I'm getting close. Since the weather is FINALLY nice I plan on trying to go for a walk everyday. It is good for me and P seems to enjoy it quite a bit too.

Well, I guess that is about it on the Pregnancy update. I am really starting to feel big, but then I just look at the pictures of me from last time and all the sudden feel small again. All my friends in this ward who were here last year are also amazed at how differently I am carrying compared to last time. It is SOOO FUNNY to hear what people actually thought last time but never said. I welcome all of those comments because I know I was HUGE. Hopefully I don't get quite as big this time, but at least we know I can handle it.

Anyway, Have a great week!

What to pack . . .

So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

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...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
