Well I am officially 8 months now and boy am I feeling it! Also sorry for slacking so much everyone. My pregnant brain and pure exhaustion every night when I get home has caused me to neglect my blog quite a bit. Hopefully I can keep on better track. Not only does almost everyone I come into contact with think I am 10 months pregnant, about to pop a baby out at any time, I also feel like this baby is going to come out at any time. No contractions at all really, but her kicks and punches are so strong I feel like she is trying to punch dance her self out of there! One thing I have realized is that this baby loves music, especially LIVE music. Grandpa Greg and Uncle Darren were hanging out and picked up their guitars a few weeks back and she was really enjoying the sweet sweet music they sang. Aunt Hettie also got her to dance when she came to visit around our birthdays. I hope she gets their talent!!
I have officially started waddling around, you can probably tell as to why by the pictures I posted on this weeks blog as well. I am pretty energized throughout the day until about 4 o clock, then I wish it was nap time and I could sleep until about 7. I hear the tiredness from the first trimester comes back, and I can see why. I have gained quite a bit now and it is all sitting in one spot! At our doctor appointment we did have some measurements taken of her and she is pretty much on track. She is a little small (only about a week behind gestational-measuring) but that is totally ok with me. She also doesn't have her Uncle Greg's giant head. I hope she is still very smart like him, but at least I wont have to be pushing that out of me. We toured the hospital as well and got a good feel for how things are going to go. The nurses seem really nice so hopefully it is that way once I go up to Rapid to have my little girl. Oh another cool thing we find out is that she has hair! Lots of it actually! She said it will probably all fall out but she can see if through the ultrasound pretty easily. Clint also finished remolding the upstairs bathroom for myself and little baby girl. I now have an awesome bathtub to soak in, and to wash my baby in once she is born. It is pretty much the coolest bathroom now! I love him for doing that in such a fast amount of time, and also thank you to his dad and uncle Darren for the help they put into it as well, that bathroom was a hot mess!
Below are some pictures of her crib, a handmade blanket Grandma Laura made, and a handmade banner that Aunt Marijo made for her. The banner says its a girl (from the baby shower) but it does have enough spaces for her name... any guesses?? :)
Looking like I can have that baby anytime right??
