24 WEEKS

I'm now actually 25weeks but the pics are of my 24th week.
The last couple of weeks I have not been sleeping well, I wake up several times in the night for no reason and this is not helpful because I wake up at 5 so I can be at work by 6.

This past month I have been going to work at Devcon where I am in customer service answering calls, then by noon I would go to Dowdle Folk art and help out with shipping (love this job even though it's harder to be on my feet now) and on tues and thur I go to the Ice Rink and teach.

I know i'm not the best writer/blogger and that i'm not a very creative/ crafty person but i do love to tell everyone whats happening in my life and that is why I have my blog. Actually it's just to keep family updated.

If you know me I was a very skinny person who could hardly gain any weight and my goal was to be 120lbs. Well yesterday I was having a hard time because according to my scale I gained alot in a short time, i'm currently about 148-150. I shouldn't complain, i'm pregnant and supposed to be getting bigger. but it didnt stop me from txting my mom and my sister to talk about how fat i feel.

In happier news Mitch saw the dentist again but they only added something to his mouth and didn't tighten anything. We had a blast with the Bliss fam this past sat. the boys went to the BYU black out game and Meredeth and I went shopping, we bought lunch, groceries and I got a new long red skirt and   a blanket for the baby. That night we went on a date with our men to provo beach resort, it was amazing. On Sunday we went up to WY to celebrate my nephews 6th bday. He is getting so big!
Random note. Lately I have enjoyed playing with my baby. When she is awake and moving alot I will push on my belly and then wait and watch for her to kick that same spot then move my hand and do it again. In sacrament this past sunday Mitch was feeling her move and I had my hand on top of his, she kicked so hard I felt it through his hand on to my hand it was awesome. We also had a little short fun the other day with a flashlight on my belly, she only kicked twice and Mitch seemed to run out of patience. Just so you know I miss having a bathtub, we only have a small shower that barely fits us both, can't wait to have a bathtub again.

Brace Face

So Mitchel just got a full mouth of metal braces. He does not like them very much but he is doing it for me. Happy Wife, Happy Life. And I know the outcome will be totally worth it, we only wish that the process would go faster.


We also just had a another doctors appointment. these are the changes..
Weight: 128-138
Baby's Heartbeat: 150-148

This was the first time they measured my abdomen
Abdomen 22cm

each week the abdomen grows a 1cm and matches the week you are on. So when she measured me I was on week 22 and measured 22.

Our little girls kicks have been getting more firm, the bellys growing and again i don't fit in more of my clothes. The best part is that Mitchel has now felt her kick against his hand. This past sunday in sacrament she was kicking a lot so he was trying to feel it, which brought on lots of smiles from both of us and the lady giving the talk came up to me later and commented on our smiling thinking we were smiling about her talk. We didn't correct her. It's a weird thought to think we are a few weeks away from being in the third trimester. We've bought some baby clothes for the first time, and we still like the name Lydia Mae Shira. Lately i've been thinking of when we should do a baby shower, right now we are have narrowed it down to Nov, Jan. or after she is born.
