This doctors appointment my weight gain was small 163-166. Our baby's heart rate went down 141-129. I asked my doctor about the due dates the ultrasound tech gave us. Dr. Savage said the due date has been changed to January 19th. So technically if we go off the 19th then I am 35 weeks and 4 days but for all our sakes I will keep going off of my original due date. Dr. Savage said she wont let us go past January 29th which just so happens to be my birthday! We are really excited that our baby girl will be arriving sooner then we expected!!!
34 WEEKS. Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

32 WEEKS.. or is it... ?
This is what's happening this week according to babycenter.com
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
33 weeks says
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal.
At this last doctors appointment on monday, these are the changes that have happened. My weight went from 156- 163lbs. The baby's heart beat went from 150-141. My abdomen measured 30-31cm. When I visited Dr. Savage I informed her that some things had come up that have been worrying me. She advised we do an Ultrasound just to make sure that it is nothing to worry about. So I scheduled that for the next day (tuesday).
TUESDAY: The Ultrasound went great! She didn't see anything that we should worry about. In fact everything is going right. I just loved getting an ultrasound and seeing our little baby girl again. Her face is so cute and chubby, or at least what we could see because she had her hands and a foot near her face! Our baby girl also has some hair on the back of her head, probably just fuzz though. Oh and she is already in the head down position!!! The ultrasound technician took some measurements and concluded our baby is almost 5 lbs give or take 6oz and that we appear to be farther along because of how our baby is growing. So We appear to be about 8 days ahead of our regular schedule or so, but the several measurements she made concluded a few due dates Jan 22, Jan 20th and Jan 19th.
It's exciting news to find out you are farther along then you thought! Means possible less waiting. Well from this appointment we got to take home pictures and a recording of the ultrasound.

Thanksgiving
Finally a vacation and one well needed!
Tuesday 20th. After work and a doctors appointment, servicing the car and picking up Kade we got on the freeway and headed towards Boise. We made really good time and arrived at our cousin Shantal's house around 10:30pm. We stayed up talking and watched an episode of Psych.
Wednesday 21st. Shantal drove her own car and we just followed each other all the way to Grangeville (it's a very small town up near washington.) We arrived at about 12:30pm (1:30 MST). First stop was uncle Ricks house where Dad, and the brothers live. We chatted and I let my niece mess my hair up and brush it over and over again. She sure loves girl time especially since she is just surrounded by men. Our next stop was my aunt Sheri's house where Shantal was already at with our other cousins, her brother Bryan just came home from his mission so I met him for the first time. AFter a short visit we stopped at Aunt Tami's where we would be staying, we dropped off our stuff and then headed out. We ate dinner then Mitch left to play basket ball with the boys as I left and hung out with the other cousins. we had a blast with Shantals phone. we would record things in funny voices.
Thanksgiving.
First thing Mitch went to play football with all the boys while the girls at Aunt Sheri's hung out and helped finish the last preparations for thanksgiving dinner. When the boys returned we found out that Bryan got nocked out and he couldn't remember things for quite a while.
Dinner was around 3 and it was so delicious, there were so many new foods that I liked. but most of all I craved pumkin pie and for the remainder of our stay Grammy made sure they saved me more.
After food we sat around, some of us slept and then the rest started to play Pinocle, they played it alot!
Black Friday.
Mitchel, Bryson, Sage, Raden, and I went downtown, First to a bargain store where I ended up buying The Prestige! Then to a bunch of little shops on Main. We had so much fun!
Mitch took me on a date to a mexican restraunt called Palenques it was so Delicious!
Following we hung out with the cousins again and had a blast just sitting and talking, we ended up going down to main street to the new ice cream place. they have these cool tables the one we sat at had Checkers, another one was a whiteboard that you could draw on and they had a stash of games! To end the evening the cousins played Pinocle again (they are addicted).
Saturday 24th.
My hubby and I drove down to Kooskia Idaho (about 30 min drive) On our way we drove through some clouds....
We went there to spend the day with one of Mitchel's best friends Zech and his wife Erika and son Johann. I had a BLAST! I shot my first gun! (other then a BBgun). We shot at a target and I got to shoot about 30 rounds. Mitchel did too! He also shot at this little piece of Kananite (dont' know how to spell it) any way it blew up a log. Awesome!!!
We then played a fun card game with them and had dinner.
It started to rain and Zech let Mitchel and I ride the 4 Wheeler around the property, Mitchel went slow and avoided all pot holes. I got off so Mitchel could have a chance to drive faster.
When we returned to Grangeville All the boys wanted to make a film together in the extra unfinished room upstairs. they were up so late I had to sleep through them because they were also partly in my room.
Sunday 25th
We relaxed after church and played more cards.
Monday 26th
We said goodbye to everyone and headed home. I must say too that Mitch did get pulled over but was let go with a warning! :) and I still have a clean recored of never ever being pulled over while i was in the drivers seat.
We had a great time and can't wait for them to come down when the baby is born.
