34 week

Well I had a blast of a baby shower! A whole lot of people showed up and showed us a lot of love. While there my cousin Alicia told me to come over and look at some of her baby stuff to start a baby stuff swapping club between us since we live in the same city and live fairly close in the same city. Between her and my shower we are set. There are still a few odds and ends we would like to get like a rocking chair and a swing... I still need to wash all of the clothes and write the thank yous and find a place for everything, which is a lot harder than it sounds.
My old man kitty was limping around for a few weeks, my mom thought that he landed wrong when he was jumping off the fence in the back yard. Well he started not limping so bad and we all thought that he was getting better. Well then last week my mom found him licking his chest raw... well no one was taking him to the vet so I kidnapped him and took him to the vet, my mom met me there. It turned out that the vet thought he had gotten into a cat fight and he got an abscess on his chest that opened up. She thought he was calm and that they would have no problem with him... hahahahahaha... people never believe us when we say he doesn't like the vet and he doesn't like people messing with him when he doesn't know them that well. Well the vet tec came back into the room with him with the leather gloves that go up past the elbow and they hadn't been able to do anything with him other than give him the shots he needed. So I got to cone him and he was growling the whole time. He's doing a lot better now, I'm glad I vetted him.
Ryan and I are in Ely this week... Not working is fantastic! There is a huge storm that stretches down below Hawaii and is called the pineapple express. Well it was raining in Vegas when we left and it was raining in Ely when we got here. That night the rain turned to snow and it snowed all night long. It then snowed Monday and its currently snowing right now. I don't think I've even had to deal with snow like this before... Its very pretty but it isn't fun to drive in.

Yesterday when it had stopped snowing for a little while the kids, Ryan and i went sledding at the park right next to their house. Well I didn't sled because hello that would be stupid, but it was funny to watch. This was when Ryan went down with Emily. They were trying to forge a good path down the hillside and it would always work better when there were two or more people on it. It was funny when all four of them went down on the same sled...

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant. I swear after my shower I blew up I think I grow an inch a day now, it was an over night thing. I guess that being freakishly small for so long had to catch up with my eventually. Its getting harder and harder for me to move around and her head likes to go in and out of my pelvis. I showed Ryan her head when she was trying to escape through my stomach while we were out and about. He though I was just being crazy but then he felt one side and it wasn't anything then he felt where I told him to and he felt her big head. I haven't gotten to the point of where I want her out already I'm still content with being pregnant. I still haven't felt a braxton hicks or any contraction yet. I'm starting to wonder where the heck she's going to go because she's already in my ribs I dont know how much higher she can go! She should be weighing close to 5.5 pounds by now if she is gaining the half a pound a week.

32 weeks



I went in to get my last ultrasound. Madison is so cute I do love to see her whenever I can. Jenni was able to go with me. She is head down and she seems perfect. She has a FULL head of hair right now. The doctor actually measured it and its a half inch long so far. He was surprised that she had so much hair so early in the pregnancy. He tried to get a good 3d picture of her but she kept her head against the placenta so it was only a smushed picture of her. Its getting so close, I can count the weeks left on my fingers... I can actually see the end in sight. I like having her in me it feels so safe, I dont have to worry if shes cold or lonely I know that shes there and mine.
The baby shower is on Saturday and I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm excited to see everyone. It took so long to make all of this happen and now it finally happening.
Ryans grandma is in the hospital. She has a blood clot in each lung and is in the icu at Salt Lake. They are going to try to break it up with medication. Its kind of a wait and see kind of thing.
