37 weeks!

Another lovely doctor's appointment.
153 lbs.
blood pressure perfect....always is.
Nothing new this week BUT I get my membranes stripped next Wednesday which means the baby will prob be here Wednesday night or Thursday. Here is Hoping!!!

A quirk in the usual boring pregnancy

So on Tuesday I was having alot of Braxton Hicks. ALOT. They got painful and worse so I thought that that night night just be the night to have the baby. But nope, never had him. Good thing I had a doctor's appointment the next day.

Wednesday:

36 week checkup.

Still 152 lbs and blood pressure is still perfect.

BUT

I guess I was dehydrated which was causing all those contractions. Not Braxton Hicks I guess.

Also the baby wan't really moving since the night before so doctor sent me over to the hospital to get a non stress test. The baby turned out fine and amniotic fluid was great. They were picking up my contractions every 3-5 min. Crazy! But still got sent home. My Doctor said contract away. Lovely. Just take the baby out already!! I am now to my 1 doctor appointment a week. Keep you updated. But for now, here is the latest and maybe the last preggo pic taken of me!

Utah's Hogle Zoo

Last Saturday we decided on whim that we'd take the day and go to the zoo. Kymber could not hardly wait. She wanted to see the "aminals". A Saturday + Perfect weather= CROWDED. But soooooo worth the look on Kymber's face. I did suprisingly well concidering I'm 8 months pregnant. I had to sit down alot!

Spring has sprung

I decided to do my own garden this spring. Half for fun, half to keep me busy till this baby comes out. It's little but it does the job. I planted radishes, onions, and peas. None of which I though would really grow with my luck. But lo and behold the are growing like weeds! This pic was taken a while ago so by now they've grown so much, but here a little preview. I'm so proud of myself...

Easter

Happy Easter!! Yes, I cheated and got a pre made Easter basket. But she loved it and I did too because it didn't have alot of candy in it.

More Spring Fever....

I'm having a hard tim staying inside much longer. I want to take Kymber outside and play, but it just keeps snowing. I thought for sure the snw was done and over with so I got some pots and decided to paint them with Kymber. To cure her poor boredom. Needless to say it snowed the

next day and now its a waiting game. WE WANT TO GARDEN!!!

Mine and Kymber's creations!

Baby Update

Ok, I had my last 4 week appointment last Wednesday and I'm barely getting an update on here. Everything looks great. Gained 6 lbs in 4 weeks. I seriously thought I didn't gain any but I guess I have. Bummer. I now weigh 150 lbs. Which is 3 lbs shy of what I weighed the day before I had Kymber. aaaahhhh! Heather, my doctor, said he's head down now, so that's a good thing. Although I'm hurting bad. My ribs and back ache constantly and the heartburn isn't livable. Luckily she said i can take Pepcid ac once a day and Tylenol PM at night. So far so good. It has literally saved me!!!

I have 6 weeks till the 14th of May! The day I can be induced if I haven't had him by then. I'm getting pretty anxious. I want to pack my hospital bag already. I will in a few weeks and already have the list of things to pack, just so I don't forget anything.

We also moved our computer out of the book room and moved Xander's stuff in there. Not much of a bedroom, but enough. I made him a simple, but cue blanket the other day.

Alot of catching up to do...with nothing to write about??

Ok it's been forever since I've updated my blog. We decided about a week ago to get rid of our Internet and get cable instead. No special reasons, just decided it was a better choice. So...instead of updating his thing ALL THE TIME because I have nothing better to do, I will update it when I actually have something to say and I can run upstairs and use my brother's computer.
So here are the updates on my little family...

1. We finally have a new car. Our other one pooped out on us. THANK HEAVENS REALLY! Alan wouldn't let the thing go. It's not new. It' his sisters old Hyundai Elantra but its new to us and so much nicer than our P.O.S Geo Prism.

2. Getting ready or this baby. Only like 7 1/2 weeks to go. AND IM FEELING IT BIG TIME!!! I have an OBGYN appointment on Wednesday so we'll see how thing are going. I don't think Ive gained any weight though. I'll make sure to post a blog to update you on whats going on. I swear sometimes I think he's going to come early... I mad a blanket for little Xander, but again I have failed to take a picture So, soon enough Ill post one. Nothing special, but at least its getting me way excited for him to come and its making it pretty real.

3. I went to Relief Society on Thursday. It was probably the most fun Ive had at one. We did a purse swap and had dinner and some of us talked about "Purse"onal progress through relief society and life basically. Thats a whole other post though.

PRIVATE BLOG

AS OF A FEW DAYS FROM NOW I AM MAKING MY BLOG PRIVATE. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO VIEW IT CAN DO SO MY SENDING ME THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS SO THAT I CAN INVITE THEM TO VIEW IT!

Night out on the Town

Alan and I have wanted to go up and see the Joseph Smith movie for quite some time. The last time we saw it was when we were engaged. So yesterday we got Alan's mom to take Kymber for the rest of the day and overnight, so we wouldn't have to worry about being back at a certain time.

We got to Salt Lake and took pictures and saw the Joseph Smith movie. It's funny to me that Alan's NEVER cries. No not even at our wedding or anything. But the few times I've seen him cry was at this movie. It's cute and touching (him being so touched). The movie is amazing and it really makes you rethink your life and how you are living the gospel. Joseph Smith gave his life up for something he believed in. Imagine how much faith a person has to have. No wonder Emma Smith went off the deep end after Joesph was martyred. I would too. I'm sure the Lord had mercy on her.

(yes I took all these)

It was so nice to be able to go and have that time with Alan. We NEVER get out and a couple. Right from the beginning we've had Kymber and never really got to have that time together. (Unselfish act on Alan's part coming in when Kymber was a year old and marrying me no matter what.)


After wards we went to Olive Garden in Sandy. To end the night perfectly. We were both craving it. Alan got the Tour of Italy and I got the Stuffed Chicken Marsala. Sadly enough I was very disappointed at it. That's what I get for going outside my little box and soup and salad are yummy.

It was a nice evening without a little two year old and I definitely am going to make more time for me and Alan as a couple.
