...as a matter of fact...

I went to my dr's appt and found out that I am actually perfect in size! haha. I measured 31.5 cm, a little rule of thumb, they say I should be 33cm because i'm 33 weeks. But he said give or take a few cm is ok, so I'm just under the perfect size! UH, take that coworker! haha.

My little guys heartbeat has always been super high! It started out at 187! They said it drops the farther I get, and it has, but it was still in the "upper 150s." My dr said, "you sure you're having a boy because this heartbeat is and has been so high." I have been having a few dreams that my baby is born and it's a girl and I just wanted to cry. I wanted a girl at the beginning, but now I'm TOTALLY planning on a boy and would be very.....sad if we were wrong all along. I'm not thinking it will be a girl; I know so many babies defy the odds of the heartbeat theory. I just thought it was funny my dr said that! I'm still plannin on everything blue, pretty sure the ultra sound showed the appropriate male parts;)

Wow, 33 weeks TODAY! :)

Seriously, where has the time gone? There were/are so many things to do before this baby gets here! I remember thinking when I was 4 months, I still have plenty of time to get everything ready....now i'm thinking, I still have time to get ready, but really it's coming SO soon! With Thanksgiving this week and then Christmas right after that, I just know I'll be rushing to get everything ready before he arrives! Uh, I better get going!

Pregnancy.... a few thoughts about it. For the most part, I've had a great pregnancy so far. No major concerns, no ER trips, nothing really abnormal....but wow is pregnancy different than I thought. I can't believe the changes one goes through! Not just physically but emotionally too! I get a little more frustrated these days with comments people at work make. Most the time the patients say "your so little!" But the other day my boss asked (and we was being serious) if the doctors thought I was having 2 or even 3 since I'm so big.....UH NOPE JUST ONE!!!! Then a coworker asked me 3 times in one day if I was feeling ok. I knew I hadn't had a lot of time to get ready that day, but it wasn't like I went without makeup or anything. I was feeling fine, but by the third time she added the "you just look CRUMMY" and I had had it with her! This is what I mean by emotionally...I think I could have physically hurt her if I wasn't such a nice persion. This past week I have really started to feel huge. Getting up from a chair, a couch, and the bed has become a whole new experience in the last week. Brock is being super helpful and he'll pull me up. haha. Wow, the changes really are so funny! I laugh at the different things I'm going through, it's not really that fun, but seriously pretty funny how different life is with a big ol belly!

This past week my bad has started KILLING me! It's not my lower back like I've heard other people have. Luckily when brock was hurt I massaged his foot for almost 1 hour every night...so he is being a great husband and repaying me. THANKS HUN! Brock has been so busy with school this quarter. He has spanish and chemistry which has really made him work. He's doing so good though! I'm so proud of him for sticking with school, it's not an easy thing but he's doing great!

I go in for my next dr's appt tomorrow and I can't wait. It feels like a long time since i've been to the dr. My baby is so active! He is constantly kicking and moving, so I'm not concerned about him being ok, I just love hearing the heartbeat and stuff! I don't have any pictures to post right now, maybe next time.....but then again maybe not too:)

Changes in Appearance!!!

Brock looked lovely when he came home from hunting. This is him half shaved. He left it like this all Sunday...everyone was wondering about him! lol. It was pretty funny, for a day.

This is me right before my 29 week appt. I'm just over 7 months! The belly is getting big!

This one is around 27 weeks. He's growing slowly so it's so crazy to see the changes there are in even 2 weeks! My 7 month check up went great. I drank the nasty juice, or straight sugar, and the results came back good, not diabetic! Yay! (you have to ignore the funny face, I'm not feeling very photogenic(sp!) these days!)

Fun Projects

Since there are so many birthdays in October/November I decided to make a craft. I got the idea from Brittney Anderson, thanks brittney! I made 8 different sets and made them all different, which was the hard part! All the birthdays are: my sis-in-laws Jande, Karyn, and Camille. Sister Jilayne and my moms is early November. (mine is in october too so we have lots of birthdays!)

My mom put together a craft for us to do this last weekend. The wreaths all turned out really good, but mainly because my mom picked out good stuff:) It was fun and stressful! I've never worked with flowers, but I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

These pictures are all out of order...sorry...I made these fall blocks a while ago.

All of us with our wreaths. My neice Madie took the picture....so it was a great one:)

My mother in law was nice enough to let me take some of her produce and make this. I grabbed the board from the shop and just started painting. It makes the outside of our house a little more inviting....distracts people, a little bit, from all the nasty cobwebs!

We took a trip to Utah for conference and had so much fun!

Our first time to temple square together! I love this temple!!!!

We had fun goofing around too. We went with ben and sonya.

HOLY COW! look at the belly! It's bigger now but I don't have any good ones recently.

For Brock's bday I made him a tractor cake....wow, it turned out but it took a whole morning to make it work...and keep the house from burning down:) lol, RIGHT JANDE?! lol

My boy LOVES playin around!

Brock had a little accident down at the river the other day. He swears the truck got stuck by accident....hmmm, looks like he had a really fun accident:)

He's been having so much fun fishing lately. He caught 2 the other night and was pretty excited!

He turned 25 this past month! Holy cow! Old fart;) He loves this OGIO bag he got from his parents.

His brother Derek raced at the Dayton Days....it was fun to watch!

This picture was a while ago. Brock has so much fun going riding with all the guys. I always tell him he has so many hobbies....and they're so dang expensive! Riding, hunting, fishing, woodworking..... oh well, keeps him happy:)

Correction!

I don't know why I wrote that our little guy was 8oz .....he was actually 13oz. I was typing fast. The normal for how far along I am is 10oz. so he's just a little bit big for his age:)
