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.

30 WEEKS
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.
