Ten more to go!
Our last doctors appointment went well, I just had a swollen ankle from sitting down for too long. My weight went up to 149-156. Baby's heart rate went from 153-150 this time was pretty neat too because we could hear her heart beat so clear, Dr Savage said it was because baby's back was most likely against my tummy. The next appointment will be two weeks from now instead of four and after a few of those we will b e going every week before the baby is born. I have heard and been told that it will fly by from now on.
We are so excited for thanks giving to pass so we can have Christmas and then finally be in January haha.
Mitch and I were at walmart and ended up signing up to get our pictures taken professionaly, they did it in the Sepia color and we got to dress up all old fashion. I was in a flapper dress with pearls and a hat with flowers. Mitch was in a vest, tie, and old fashion hat. We just picked these pictures up yesterday and sure paid alot for them, I'll just count them as an xmas gift to us or something.
The past month or so I have been wanting to buy a blanket from Gymboree because I like the fabric, the were out of stock for the longest time and finally when they did have at least one I just went a head and bought it. It's pink with cute little penguins and seals on it. I can't wait to use it with her.
Hey I bought a crib!!! It arrived at my parents house the week before thanksgiving and we plan to open and set it up on christmas!! it's a cherry brown color and can transform into a toddler bed and day bed and full bed.
Oh and for those who are wondering the baby shower will be in January for sure at my parents house. I will send out invites once everything is more certain.

28 WEEKS
WHOOPIE!!
Here is my 28 week picture. and here is what to expect this week...
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. (coursteousy of babycenter.com)
28 weeks means that I am finally in my third trimester!
We are so excited to be in the final home stretch. She still moves alot and there are not so many flutters anymore, just harder kicks and pushes, and punches. At my last doctors appointment I was concerned about my weight seeing as I gained a bit pretty fast. she just doesn't want me to gain more than 40 lbs total.....well that give me 15 more to go. Also we did a test to see if I have Gestational Diabetes. What happens is you drink this entire bottle of orange soda stuff and wait one hour before they prick your finger and test your blood. Well I passed the test and do not have diabetes.
Dr. Savage asked me if the baby is moving. Boy does she ever, she is very active... So Dr. Savage moves on to listen to her heart beat and as soon as she put the machine on my belly our baby girl kicked back and we could hear the little pop sound of when she hit it. but she didnt' just do it once she did it twice!!! What a stinker.
I'm so excited for the holidays to pass and have her here. So far we have bought some clothes, baby bath, Stroller with carseat and bases, a Canopy cover for the car seat, a cover for breastfeeding, diapers, and a Sling to carry baby in. Next on my list is a crib!!!
This is it without the cover. it is brown and blue with pokadots. we bought this when we did not know the gender of the baby.
This is Mitch being stubborn and having to be in the picture
"Wait wait another one....... this is me thinking of the baby"
This is the canopy cover.

Haunted Forrest
What have we been up to lately? Well pretty much just working and dreaming of when our baby will arrive.
This Halloween we spent it with our neighbors the McCoys. At first at my jobs I was just wearing my gold mask but for the evening Mitch and I went as superheros. My original plan was to dress in black with yellow lines and hold a sign that said Bump Ahead or something to that effect. Then I wanted to go as a Pumpkin and a Skeleton with a skeleton baby in my belly. Either way we did not have time or money to throw these cool things together so instead we went as Superman and Super mom or Super prego lady. Wish I did something more creative. Our neighbors who we like to call Batman and Rachel went as red riding hood and the wolf, they looked great!
First we had a great delicious dinner together at the their house then we went to the Haunted Forrest in American Fork. We wanted to just "Take a Look" but ended up going instead. AFter paying for it and waiting in line we noticed the Warning sign for prego people and I started getting nervous that I would scare myself into labor, I just couldn't let myself get stressed or let anyone scare me too bad.
The whole time I held Mitchels arm and had my other hand prepared to cover my eyes, which I happend to do quite a lot. I did scream a bit and jump. like when a horn blew right next to my ear. or when some guy came up from behind us. or the floating head that actually had a body attached to it. But most of all the part I did not like best was when we walked through a door and there was this black material that was like those blow up bounce houses, any way it was squishing us and I was freaking out!!! I can't handle anything like walls or that material pushing in on me!
Any way a Haunted Forrest was a great idea!
Thank you Batman and Rachel for spending Halloween with us crazy people!
Also we spent some time at our aunts house and did a scavenger hunt were we had to take pictures of us with something on the list. then we had one of those eating a doughnut on a string contests. it was more fun then I thought it would be.
For Thanksgiving we plan to go to Idaho! I'm pretty excited!
We found one Man in a hat!
Also I have a doctors appointment coming but this is exciting because it is my last 4 week apart appointment.

2nd Trimester
One more Trimester to go!
I am so excited for the holidays, time sure will fly by. This has been my favorite trimester so far, the sickness ended and I felt more like myself. Often times I would get hot flashes or something of the sort. I'm becoming more uncomfortable and bigger, also included is more trips to the bathroom and waking up at night. In this trimester we got the opportunity to have an ultrasound done and see our little baby girl move about, and try to put her hand in her mouth. Also I started to feel her move, At first it was just little flutters and soft nudges.....now as we begin another trimester she is not a flutter no longer but punches and kicks. I do however enjoy watching my belly do the wave or see her kick. Lately I will feel pressure in different place and poke and prod in that area to feel what body part she has pressing against me.. the first time this happened I swear it was the outline of a foot or hand!
I'm gaining weight a little to fast and need to eat more healthy and work out more. At this point our baby is about 14 in and 2 1/2 lbs.
Our plan was to move into my parents house at the beginning of January but now it looks like we will be staying until the end of March if all goes well. We are excited to be able to bring our baby home to our place but also excited to be able to stay at my parents house again.
Can't wait until our precious girl Lydia arrives.
