Here is my 29 week picture. I had just realized the other day that I had not been taking pictures all along so I figured I better start now and at least get the last 11 weeks to remember. We are getting really excited to see what she looks like and to hold her in our arms. I have started sorting through clothes from my sisters (Thanks for letting me borrow all these clothes) and hang up the 0-3 months and I just look at them and think how cute she is gonna look in all these. Only 10 weeks and 6 days and she should be here if not sooner.:)

I might be Stupid......

I have figured out the hard way that maybe pregnant women really should not play softball. I LOVE softball though. I had already played 3 games with our ward and nothing had happened. So our ward is in the tournament now and it was the first game of it. I was the first up to bat and in this league you only get 2 strikes and 3 balls. They had thrown me 2 balls and I hate to walk so on the 3rd pitch was also a ball but I went for it anyways just so I could hit. It was a little low and on the inside but I hit it anyways it was not a bad hit but as I started running to 1st OUCH I figured I had just pulled a muscle (I did make it though). I played the rest of the game on my last ups I was on first and decided I needed a runner. I now know it would have been a heck of a lot easier to just take my base. One of the girls on our team is a nurse and she said it was just my syatic nerve that most people feel towards the end of there pregnancy, but I can barely even walk and my left leg keeps going numb. So sadly enough tonight is the championship game and I will just be watching it from the bleachers. GO TEAM!!!!

Yeah!

On my last doctor visit I had the Gestational Diabetes test, just the one where you can have breakfast and drink the nasty drink 1/2 hour before your apt. And..........I failed they like your blood sugar to be below 130 and I was a whoppin 153. I was a bit nervous that I did actually have it so for the next week I exercised everyday and watched a little better of what I ate. All I had heard about it is you have large babies and retain a lot of water. I do want a big baby well lets say under 9 pounds but I don't especially want to be big I am content with size at this point. So then the next week I went and did the 12 hour fast then go in and drink the nasty drink again and have them take my blood every 3 hours (that was one long day sitting at the hospital for that long). Today I called my doctor to see if everything was normal and............ I PASSED yeah I don't have Gestational Diabetes. I can't complain one bit about this pregnancy it has been so very easy, I guess December is the right time to have a baby. :)

Painting

Last of all I finally talked Jeremy into helping me paint the babies room. Then after I finished painting he tells me that the fumes can cause deformation in the baby, thanks for letting me paint the room and then telling me that. So now he just might be stuck with painting the other 3 walls. The picture does not do it justice but it really is pretty. I have decided on a black crib I just gotta work on Jeremy to let me buy finally purchase that. He thinks there is still too much time, when really I only have 3.5 more months. or 14 more weeks until our baby gets here. I am so excited, it is really neat to feel the kicking but I am kinda getting tired of all the movement she seems to be very active.

1/2 Marathon

Back in May I decided Jeremy needed to fulfill one of his life goals and run a half marathon. So I signed him up for the Top of Utah. He was doing pretty good at making himself get up to run. About a month before the race his arch in his right foot started to hurt and he could barely walk, so he called to see if he could get a refund if he didn't run and they said no. So he finally listened to me and got some new shoes. About a week before the race he started his training again. His foot quite hurting, I was happy because I surely know that it is not fun when you are in pain. Well he finished the race and didn't walk any so he was happy. The only problem is his shoes rubbed the heck out of his heel hence all the blood on his shoe, and the outside of his left foot started to kill at mile 10. He did great I was proud of him, he just couldn't walk for the next 2 weeks. But he says it was worth it he finally ran a 1/2 marathon. Now his goal for next year is to better his time. I don't know what it is about being around runners I always get sad that I was not able to run, this has been the hardest part of being pregnant, I just want to get out there and be tired and sweaty. So next year I am hoping to be able to run the same half marathon with him. Well behind him of course.

23 years!!!

Next we celebrated my birthday, we were able to spend a day at the Brigham City Pool. It turned out to be a perfect day. Vanessa and her kids came with us, they were so much fun even Madilyn kept me entertained. Later we went to my parents and made homemade Peach Ice Cream we even used "REAL" milk as Jeremy calls it, and holy smokes it was good. Jeremy had school that night so I was even lucky enough to make my own cake. Jeremy gave me an awesome vacuum that I have been wanting forever, I also got money from my wonderful parents so I could get myself some maternity pants, flip flops and sunglasses, and an I-tunes gift card. Thanks for the gifts everyone. I loved them all.

Fun, Fun


Since I posted last we have done a few things.
First we were able to go up to Jackson and spend the weekend with Kristy and Bryson. It was a blast. While we were there we were able to float the snake river twice which Jeremy loved and really looks forward to next year in hopes to float the river at high water. But me I was fine the way it was I was scared to death of falling out of the raft. We were also able to go hike in the Tetons that was way pretty we hiked up to the hidden falls. Oh how could I forget our trip to the Idaho Falls temple which we were unsuccessful in making it to the last session, so we walked around and went over to falls, and drove all over looking for a Cold Stone and we finally found one so the trip was definitly worth the 2 hour drive. It was worth it though we had good company. Thanks Kristy and Bryson for the great time and the nice warm place to stay we were not prepared for the cold nights and mornings of Jackson.
