The Nifty Fifty and Bibs

I can't even believe it!

I have 55 days left.

Well, no more than 55 days.

This little angel will be here on June 22nd,

At the LATEST!

I can't believe it!

It has been so fun this last week or so with her getting bigger.

(yes, I might take back that statement in a month,

but for now I am saying it.)

It just makes it all the more real

To feel her push her rump or head or body

(something big and round)

into my side or up to my ribs.

It is so fascinating,

To know that she is growing and growing

And will be here before we know it!

It is fun to watch my belly move in waves

or get REALLY lopsided as she huddles in a corner.

She is so fun already!

This has been one amazing and fun experience.

I love her.

We love her.

Nik is always trying to touch my belly and annoy her

By pushing hard while wiggling his fingers

So he can get her to kick back.

Typical.

haha.

It is fun!

And she usually does kick back,

Now that she is running out of room 

And her dad is crowding her space.

haha...All I can do is laugh.

I love them both!

Soooo so much!

But as I write about her...

AGAIN...

I need to share a conversation I had with my friend,

Melissa,

On Facebook.

I posted a link to ANOTHER blog post on my page and this was our conversation.

Melissa: crankin' out the blog posts lately.

Me: yep! just to make up for when I don't blog enough in the future. =]

Melissa: oh you'll blog....you better!!....show off your baby

Me: I feel like that is all I talk about right now...pregnancy. but i guess...it is a big part of my boring life.  

Well then...it brings me to what Nik and I found

While registering at Target.

We both got a pretty good laugh out of this one!

Well, Melissa, looks like she already IS the star of my blog

And I guess I better keep it that way!!!

=]

You'll see plenty of posts when she is here.

WEIRD!

Yesterday I had my Glucose testing down at my OB office.
I had the Fruit Punch drink...which tasted just like Hawaiian Punch.
It WAS AWESOME!
I woulda asked for more...but I'm sure all that sugar can't be good for me.
=]
So Dr Beck measured my belly and said everything is still on track
And that I will be going in every 2 weeks now
As opposed to the 5 weeks in between.
So that was crazy!
2 WEEKS?!?!
That is gonna make time fly!
And then he said after 2 of those it will be
Every week!
WHAT?!
And that we will talk about Labor and Delivery.
AGH!
Serious?!
This is actually coming to an end.
I will see our little girl in NO TIME!
It was so weird walking out of there with an appointment scheduled for the beginning of May.
WHOA!
I am so excited.
WE are so excited!
9 weeks and 1 day left...
IF she doesn't come earlier...
Now THAT is weird to think about.
haha.
I mean, 9 weeks isn't that long...
But what if she decides to come in 7 or 8.
Whoa Nelly!

p.s. As I am typing up this post I am eating my lunch.

It is a simple PB&J...those have been so delicious to me lately.

I'm usually not a big fan.

But did you know....I cannot eat the last bite, the corner of the sandwich?

Can't do it.

It is disgusting to me.

Don't know why

But there will always be one small bite left of my sandwich

From the bottom corner,

Usually the bottom right corner.

Just one interesting fact about The Preggo

Although it has been that way my whole life

No matter what type of sandwich it is.

Just sayin.

3rd Trimester...Ready or Not, Here We Come!

Wow.

Is this really happening?!

I cannot believe it.

I remember being in my 1st Tri begging for it to be over

and that 13 weeks took FOREVER!

Now I only have 12 left?!

agh!

I say I have 11 weeks and 6 days left

because it would be awesome for our Baby Girl to arrive on June 22nd.

If she comes early, fine by me, but here is my silly reason for the 22nd.

I was born September 22nd.

My next sister, Carrot (Caren), was born December 22nd.

Then Bagel (Baylee), the next sister, was born November 22nd.

And then the failure begins...

...ok, it was because of the doctor,

And it would have worked but things were overlooked at the time

So, Boog (Hannah), my last sister, was born July 26th...

...although the doctor admitted she could have arrive on the 22nd because she WAS full grown.

WTHeck!?!?!

Wanna know how we know...

...July 26th she arrived at 9lbs 11oz.

HUGE!

Well it just so happened that my "official due date" is June 24th

But I told the doctor,

Because he is the same one that delivered me and all my sisters

and knows the "tradition"

I told him if she is still not here by June 22nd, I want her then.

He smiled and nodded, saying he can make that happen!

=]

Silly??

I don't think so.

Just so happened that way!

People do fun things with names...

like get this...

I just so happened to be born on the 22nd

and then Caren just so happened on the 22nd as well.

According to my mom, that just worked out that way.

So when she was having the next one, she tried to have Baylee on the 22nd as well...

...walking around the mall the night before and such.

So our names went D - C - B - and then that was it because we couldn't agree on an A name.

So Hannah is as close as we will get to an A name.

Anywho...people do fun things with names, and if it so happens I can have our children on the 22nd

of any given month....you better believe I will do that.

Silly? Yes.

Fun? You bet!

Anywho....enough with that sillyness.

This has been one fun ride.

How I only have 83ish days left, I have no idea!

Our Little Jewel has been getting stronger and stronger.

It has been fun and uncomfortable all at the same time.

But I am so happy to be here experiencing this.

Last night I was on the phone with Nik as he was driving home from work

And She had the hiccups.

It was so cute!

You could see a steady beat right on my belly.

It lasted just over 3 minutes.

It was so cute.

I interrupted Nik real quick to tell him and he just laughed and smiled.

He is so in love with her already!

Oh, and not sure if you remember me mentioning my lower back and hips always hurting...

...well Nik and I bought a mattress topper and it has made a HUGE difference.

I no longer wake up in pain.

It is wonderful!

Wish we would have gotten on sooner

But we didn't. Oh well.

I'm happy now!

And Nik says his back hasn't hurt as badly either.

YAY!

But now I have a question...

...and if you are still reading this, yay!

Does gravity effect the baby while in the womb?

Honestly.

Lately I have felt her feet on my right side

and when I lay on my right side (just for a little bit)

she gets her tap moves on like crazy...

...or so it feels like.

And it REALLY hurts!

Such a weird feeling.

So I will then roll over to my left and I stay that way 95% of the time.

Well, is she landing on her head with a headstand or what?

Might be a silly question,

But I really wanna know.

So...let me know what you think or if you really know the answer.

I guess that is all.

Thanks for your attention.

So excited to meet this little girl....but right now I gotta go feed her.

Yay for breakfast!

*And sorry I don't go through and proof read it before submitting it

So hopefully it makes sense.

Just what is happening in this Pregnant Brain of mine.

=]

Loves!

Nikolas!

To continue on my mushy post from last night, I found this little survey to do on my handsome man.
So without further ado:

1. Where did you meet?
Officially – EFY 2005 (Thanks Josh and Kylee for being the connecting piece), but I had my eye on him back at Red Mountain that semester prior where we were both going to school.

2. How long did you date before you got married?
Almost 4 Years!!! (There were 2 years of waiting for him while he was on his mission in that 4 years)

3. How long have you been married?
Just about 9 months.

4. What does he do that surprises you?
He wakes up early on Saturday mornings to take the laundry down to the laundry room. =]

5. What is your favorite feature of his?
His eyes are such a handsome hazel color…and his hair, when gelled, is the kicker!

6. What is your favorite quality of his?
He always opens up the door for me…in any situation. So lucky to have him treat me like such a lady!

7. Does he have a nickname for you?
Babe.
Or when I feel like being super cheesy/funny I will call him my Stud Muffin (cuz I think that is silly but cute still) and he will reply "Yes, my Studette Pastry". Not even sure if Studette is a word, but it makes me laugh when he says it.

8. What is his favorite color?
Red and Black.

9. What is his favorite food?
Anything Japanese…or Pizza.

10. What is his favorite sport?
He likes to play football but isn’t big into watching it (thank heavens!)

11. When and where was your first kiss?
On the bench at Falcon Hill Park the night of September 24, 2005. Right after an awesome D-Back’s game and a trip to Cold Stone. =]

12. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
As cliche as this may sound...we love spending time together. Whether it is a simple walk along the Provo River, having dinner AT the dinner table with no distractions, or catching up on our favorite TV Series.

13. Do you have any children?
Nope.....someday though...

14. Does he have a hidden talent?
He is a great cook. He can look in the pantry and put things together (that I wouldn't think of) to make a meal and it always tastes good!
He also has an amazing talent at calming me down when we take different chances in life together.

15. How old is he?
23

16. Who said I love you first?
Me

17. What's his favorite music?
Pretty much Alternative. He will listen to Country but it isn’t something he would pick on his own.

18. What do you admire most about him?
He has a great way of taking chances and making it work out in his favor. I am a big planner and he likes to just take things as they go. That is something I need to be better at.

19. Do you think he will read this?
Only if I tell him I posted it.
