BaBy UpDaTe...WaRnInG: this may be too much information for some

I had my Dr. appt. yesterday and baby Jace weighs 5 lbs 11 oz. I told her I felt like he had dropped and she checked me and confirmed that was true! She said his head was very low and she actually touched it!..(sorry if that is TMI) She also said I was dialated to a 2 and that my cervix was thinned out..(again, sorry; I warned you:) So my body is getting ready! Maybe my long walk to the Gateway has something to do with it??...j/k :) She also gave me some muscle relaxers for my back which has been hurting really bad especially since he has dropped even lower. Hopefully they will help, I feel like an old lady lately with my body being so sore. I will be doing weekly appts. now, so I will have another update shortly!

First time on the Frontrunner


Dallin had some vacation days left at work that he needed to use up so he decided to use a couple this weekend so now he has Thursday-Monday off! WaHoO! He never has that much time off, so we decided to take Bentley on the frontrunner yesterday. He loved riding on the choo-choo! Of CoUrSe! We got off in Salt Lake and headed to the Gateway for lunch. Little did we know that the station is about a MiLe from the Gateway and I was StUpId and wore boots with a nice tall wedge on them..:) Needless to say, the ExTrEmElY pregnant girl had some tired feet. It was a really fun family outing, thanks Dallin for suggesting it! Ü

p.s. I bought the cheap batteries for my camera and they weren't strong enough to power my camera, so I just took these with my phone.. Lesson learned, AlWaYs buy the good batteries :)

Leaving the station...


Very intrigued with all the sights...

...CuTiEs...


I got to meet my friends I haven't seen in a LONG time for lunch on Tuesday, Alexis and Britney. It was soooo fun! I met Alexis in my old neighborhood, we happened to be pregnant at the same time with our little boys and always said they would be good buddies, but I moved before that could happen! They proved us right at lunch though! They were instant buds and even wanted to hold hands when we left. soo cute.. :) We will definitly have to get together more often! Britney is Alexis' sis-in-law and a friend of mine from high school and she is pregnant right now and we are only ONE day apart! So we have some more future play mates. :) Thanks for the fun time girls, can't wait to do it again!

Oh BaBy..

I had my OB appt. today and here is the scoop: This baby is BiG! He weighs 4 lbs 12 oz.! Almost 5 lbs!! (Doctors words, "Wow, he is a chunker.") That is almost the size of a newborn! They say from week 33 to delivery,the baby almost doubles in size! I hope I don't have a TEN pound baby!..She (My Dr.) said everything looked good and he is head down, so that is good since I plan on having a VBAC. She also gave me the consent form for VBAC's and I am feeling a little..or actually a lot nervous about it. There are some scarry things that can happen. I had been looking into it the past couple weeks and had been feeling some anxiety over it..but now my anxiety level has moved up a notch. I go back in 2 weeks and we are going to talk about it extensively then. I really don't know how I plan on having this baby now?!..Lots to think about..

A picture and pregnancy fact of week 33 I found on the internet..
Week 33 of Pregnancy
Third-trimester insomnia strikes more than 75 percent of pregnant women — very tired pregnant women.

Well, amen to that! I can't sleep a wink lately!
A lot of it due to me getting up 5 times a night to visit the restroom, my back that has been constantly pinching, and the feeling of wanting to puke when I lay down! Anything I have eaten prior to going to bed just doesn't have anywhere to go and I feel like it all wants to come right back up! sounds fun, huh! :) I forgot how wonderful the third trimester is :) Despite the hard parts, pregnancy is such a miraculous thing to experience and I am sooo grateful I get to and I am enjoying every moment of it, I know I won't being doing it again for a LONG time. ;)

Halloween 2004


Here's a shout out to Lindsay and Trudy! I was helping my mom organize her basement the other day which has a lot of my old stuff down there and I came upon this picture! So here's a reminder of what we were doing FOUR years ago at good ol' Snow College! Being 80's rocker chics I think??... I don't think me and the belly could pull that off THIS year :)

Conference Weekend


This weekend was a blast! I got to hang out with ALL of my cute sister-in-laws at once, which is rare since 2 of them live in Idaho and 1 in Arizona, but they all decided to come and visit! We took the kiddies to the pumpkin patch and the new Chuck-E-Cheese on Friday (which was beyond crowded!!) Saturday, we enjoyed listening to Conference and a big family dinner at Goodwood, and Sunday we relaxed, watched conference and ate a yummy homemade dinner! It was so fun to see you all! I especially enjoyed the massage exchange with Veva all weekend! Us Prego girls need those back massages :) I have gained nearly THIRTY pounds and I swear it is all sitting right on my lower back and PINCHING it! oowww...it hurts. I have to get through SIX more weeks!..I can do it! :)

Having fun with his cousins on the hay ride.

Comparing bellys...hmm..I think I have her BEAT! Give her 12 1/2 weeks to catch up ;)

pHoTo TaG..

I was tagged by Kelsey!

How about a game of photo tag?


Okay, so to play along you have to take a picture of the 10 different things listed-and you have to do it right away. You can't take time to clean up, rearrange the furniture, or wash the dirty dishes.


Next, you have to tag 6 people and hope they play along.

WARNING: If you haven't read "Breaking Dawn" yet, and plan on it..PLEASE skip #4!!

1. Kitchen Sink
There wouldn't be any dishes in there if the dishwasher wasn't in use right now. My husband is a clean freak..and is slowly converting me..



2. Favorite Room in the House
Family Room! This is where we all just HaNg OuT :) It's definitly the most comfortable room in the house.



3. What your kids are doing right now.
Sitting on the couch, eating cereal, watching "toons" (That's what he calls them:)


4. Dream Vacation
This is suppose to represent the island Edward takes Bella to..:) DREAM vacation ;)


5. Favorite Pair of Shoes
My brown boots! I know..not the cutest, but in the fall and winter, I wear them ALL the time!


6. Inside of Refridgerator
nothing good in there right now..time to visit Wal-Mart!


7. Laundry Room
Not very exciting..I wish I had a BIG counter to fold laundry and shelves with laundry baskets for each person..oh and a mini t.v. Basically, after seeing the laundry rooms in the parade of homes, mine sUcKs..haha Ü

8. Bathroom
One of the sacrifices we had to make with this house was giving up a master bath, so we all use this one and it gets pretty crowded! The only reason the counter is not full of hot tools and make-up is because I have a husband (the clean freak) who will come through and THROW IT AWAY or HIDE it!!! Yes..you read that right. I really miss having a master bath..it was nice getting ready in seperate bathrooms! (where Dallin couldn't see the MeSs I had made:) Maybe one day, we will have a Master bath with TWO seperate vanities..hey..a girl can dream :)



9. Closet
10. Self Portrait
I thought I would try to get baby Jace in there too! :) I don't know why it's so blurry?.. I really want a new camera for Christmas.. (Maybe Dallin will read this:)



I TaG.. EvErYoNe who reads this!! I want to see everyone's dirty dishes..haha

What's been going on...


On Friday, I had my OB appt. and found out that little Jace weighs a little over three pounds. I can't beleive I am already 30 weeks!! Crazy! This little guy will be here before we know it! We didn't get any pictures this time. He looked so squished, it was hard to see anything anyways. So this picture is from the 4d exam. He looks like a little rope climber with the umbilical cord between his legs.

Monday
was Dallin's 26th birthday!! I know this is a little late, but I thought I would still do a birthday tribute to my sweet husband. :) soo..HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!! I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! Ü

Looks like our little Bentley..


Best buddies!


What a stud ;)


Now 26 with a family and one on the way! (I am a bad wife and didn't take a picture of him on his actual birthday) WE LOVE YOU!!
