WEEK 29

I know its a little late.

Russ had a few days off and I wanted to spend every minute I could with him.
So I did!

Now I can post!

My Dr. appointment went great!
Everything is still right on track!
I sure love hearing our little heart beat!
We have another ultrasound set up for next month,
and I am SO glad Russ will be able to be there!

Russ' job is going GREAT!
He's already moved up!
He is really loving the work,
how could he not? :)
All he thinks/talks about is trucks.
I am so proud of him!
He's doing amazing!

On a little different note,
I have come to realize that every moment needs to be a special one.

Ok, I didn't JUST realize this,
I have been focusing on this my whole pregnancy.
But I am finally putting it into words.

-More Specifically-
I was talking with my mother-in-law and her sister,
and we were talking about how so many women
get to the point that they no longer can stand being pregnant.
Saying things like,
"I can't wait until I'm done!"
or
"I'm done with this, I can't take it any longer"
And so on.

I personally have looked at every moment in my pregnancy as one of importance.
Every kick, every little nudge, every time I feel her, it brings me so much joy!
I love sitting in the quiet of the night and just watching my stomach move.
What an AMAZING time.
I can't get enough!
And it sure doesn't get old!
I love the bond I already feel with our little baby.

Granted, I have been VERY lucky not to be sick.
I've had a very nice pregnancy, With no complications.

I am going to continue to cherish these last 10 weeks.
Its going to be a few years until I have these special feelings again.
Feelings only a pregnant mother can have!
Our little girl will never be this little again!
She's only going to grow from here!

Of course I can't wait until she arrives.
But I hope to never get to the point that I
no longer can tolerate being pregnant.

This has also been something I have focused on with Russ.
How blessed I am to have the amazing husband I do!
We only have 10 more weeks until our little twosome becomes a threesome.
Even at lunch today, I just stopped everything,
Looked across the table, and just thought to myself.
Stared into those beautiful eyes and counted my blessings.
I was so full of love in that moment.
I have the most amazing, handsome, loving, sweet, happy husband.
(I could go on for days)
I really am so spoiled.

It was just a moment at lunch, but a moment I wont get back.
And I was sure to embrace it!

How many moments a day do we just let pass,
and not get anything out of them?

Lets try to care a little more.
Be more positive.
Embrace everything that comes our way.
(Even hard things can give us the greatest blessings)
And most of all,
ALWAYS show those that we LOVE how much we LOVE them!!
Live with no regrets.

I hope I'll never miss the chance to say I love someone!
Or show someone how much they mean to me!

Alright... Now we can move on to pictures.
I really just needed to get that off my mind.
And I sure hope it made some sense!

WEEK 29
She was REALLY forward the day we took this picture.
Although, she is really forward most of the time.

She is getting bigger though!
(and in turn so am I) :)
I can't wait until the ultrasound so we get to see how big she is!

And there you have it!
Tomorrow we hit 30 weeks!

Crazy that we only have 70 days,
or 10 weeks....
IF not less!

Until this weekend!!
Love you all!

WEEK 28

And I'm back.
Feeling 98% better today.
Just a little tired and a little sore.

I have to say that I am SO grateful that I have
a husband who is a worthy priesthood holder.
I received the most AMAZING blessing last night
from my dear Russ, and felt almost instantly better.
I am so blessed!
I love you so much babe!!

Not much is going on in my life.
Beyond being sick yesterday.
I cannot believe that we are in our 3rd trimester!

Russ is really enjoying his job!
He's doing great at it, and loves it,
minus the 100 mile drive a day.
But I can't blame him!
That's gotta be rough!

We'll just wait until things get more sorted out,
and we'll move closer to work.

Our little baby still moves a ton!
She loves kicking me in the ribs
(luckily it doesn't hurt YET)
She kicks all the time.
She gets REALLY active when I am on the phone with Russ.
She must feel the love. :)

Here are the pics for week 28




And there you have it!
I am still feeling great!

A little tired since I hit 28 weeks.
But that may have been because I was getting sick.
We'll see next week!

I also have an appointment tomorrow!
Sure can't wait!
I love hearing our little girl's heartbeat!!

Until next week!

Sick Day

I'm Sick.
I've got the flu.

I was going to blog today,
Hopefully tomorrow...

WEEK 27

Hey there!

Well, we are at week 27!
Its nuts to think we've got less then 90 days!!

We have had a great week,
and we have AWESOME news!!

Russ got a job!!
He is working for Freightliner of Utah!
He started today!
I am so proud of him and all that he has accomplished over the past year.
He is the most amazing husband,
and I am so blessed to be able to call him mine!
I'll let you know how things go!
I have to admit that I miss him already.
I knew I would though!
I have been spoiled for the past year (plus) getting to spend everyday,
and almost all day with him!!

I will now get the chance to learn how to
make every moment with him a special one!

We also picked up our crib this week.
Now on to the bedding!
Once its up and bedding is on, I'll post pictures.
I'm pretty excited to get it set up!

Anywho, now we'll move onto pictures.

Week 27

So there you have it!

We are heading down south this weekend!
We are pretty excited!
I'll TRY to remember the camera!

Until next week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO... ME!

So I think that its kind of weird that I am posting this.

I have always looked at my birthday as just another day.
But I figured I may as well just get used to the fact that its my day!
So... Happy Birthday to ME!

WEEK 26 (and 25 and a few other things...)

Are you tired of looking at the same old thing on my blog yet?

We still have not unpacked ALL the way.
SOON Enough though, soon enough!

For now,

He just wont stop!

I'm still feeling GREAT!

And our little girl is still a kicker!
I love feeling her move SO much!

We have had a LOT of fun together this week!
I think I will be pretty bummed when Russ goes back to work.
Though, I'm sure he wont be! :)
I just can't get enough of this guy!

So that's about it!

We have had a LOT of family time this week!
We sure did miss that!
