Our Christmas Baby

She's here! To Be Continued......

Inducing on Wednesday December 22nd!

For the last 2 weeks I have been into the doctor and she has told me that I am not even dilated to a centimeter yet, which is not so fun. My little baby girl just wants to stay in my tummy. I am pretty uncomfortable now. I am really swollen and can barely sleep at night. I have been having Braxton Hicks Contractions for the last month, but no progress.

My doctor told me that she needs to see my on Tuesday to check me before I get induced on Wednesday. If everything goes to plan with a normal delivery, I will be able to leave the hospital Christmas Eve. It's going to be one busy holiday for me. I am also still working and still have furniture deliveries that need to be made before Christmas. So, I am busy working and trying to get ready and prepared for next weeks events. Also, I am trying to get everyone in my family feeling better and in good health before next week.

Makenna wanted me to take a picture of her today. We were going through all the little gifts we have been given and I took this picture of her. My kids are pretty excited, they get a NEW BABY and SANTA CLAUS all in the same week.

Wish me luck!

My 29th Birthday on November 29th

I LOVE having my Birthday, it's just a good ole' fun day, even if I don't do anything amazing. I just like to be able to take a bath, not clean the house or do laundry or cook. It's just a great day off..

Sam and Makenna went and picked me out an ice cream cake and this is what she decided on. It was pretty funny, but it was still really good.

35 Weeks Pregnant...

So, I am getting pretty HUGE and I can honestly say that at night, I am really uncomfortable. I find that I get charlie horses in my legs or I am fighting pain from my sciatic nerve.

I do have all my Christmas up and ready to go. I also have majority of my Christmas shopping done. I just purchased the Crib that I wanted and it just came today with the mattress. It's the white Million Dollar Baby Crib that I carry and it's white. I still plan on using my pack and play for the first few months.

Other then that we are still running around until the baby comes and until I will become a complete hermit for 2 to 3 months. I have this phobia that I will get sick and not even be able to hold my new born. I am thinking twice about having a baby in the dead of winter, let alone due on Christmas Eve... But, it's like of exciting and craziness all at the same time.

Halloween 2010

Our Halloween started out a little crazy, but ending great! The kid dressed up on Thursday for school. On Friday we made 2 dozen cupcakes and got them all dressed up for the Ward Halloween Party. Sam wasn't able to attend the party since he was at work, but we just had finished dinner and got up from the table to make room for more people to eat. There was such a huge turn out at the ward party. Well, I was going up to the stage to give Makenna brownie. I took one step and started to slip and noticed water on the floor. It all happened so fast, but I went down with a BANG. I fell backward and hit my head so hard that I really thought I had cut it open. I hurt so bad and was trying to fight off screaming and tears. All I can remember is my head throbbing. Thanks goodness the Bishops wife Megan saw me fall,I soon had a crowd surrounding me. My head was in major pain, I just wanted to just lie there. They wanted to can an ambulance, but I insisted just calling Sam. Sam rushed to the church from Red Robin. I had a little pain in my stomache, but nothing like my head. Sam arrived and everyone talked me into going to the ER to get the baby checked out. I am 8 month pregnant, so I went to the ER, I just wanted to make sure the baby was ok. Labor and Delivery hooked me up to the machine and my doctor wanted to track the baby for at least an hour. We finally were released to go home. So, that was a great night. My head still hurts and I have a goose egg, but I am just glad the baby is ok.

Halloween was fun, we did tons of trick or treating with Grandma and Grandpa. Sam and my dad mainly took the kids while my mom and me followed. They got tons of candy and had a blast.

Doctor's Appointment

Today (October 28th), I got the kids both dressed in their Halloween costumes for school and then ran off to the OB for a doctor's appointment. Everything looks great and I am very proud to say that I didn't gain a pound this month!!! I am so proud of myself, I stepped up my workout routine and it totally paid off. The doctor said I am measuring alittle bit bigger and I might come a few days earlier then expected, but time will tell. I told her that I usually get huge at the end, so we'll see. I can still work out on my Treadmill everyday so, I feel great right now.

Chi Omega Reunion Sleepover at the House 2010

It was alot of fun getting together with most of my Sorority Sister this past weekend. It was kind of sad as well. Our Chi Omega House at USU is up for Sale right now because of an accident that happened a few years ago at the Sigma Nu house, causing our chapter to be closed. This might be the last time that we are able to even come together in our house. We have some many memories there and it was good to get together. I hope that one day it will reopen. We all just need to have a bunch of girls and we could get our girls to open up another chapter (wouldn't that be wonderful)...Good to see alot of you there. I hope you enjoy the pictures. It's not always fun taking pictures that are memorable when you huge and pregnant, but oh well.
