Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving week was a world full of fun at work. It was crazy busy and we got a lot more work. I was very happy to be off by ten on thanksgiving day. It was great to have John home for the little time that he was here for. He still has a bigger belly than me... he was pushing, me not so much.

This was the first black Friday in the history of ever that I didn't work it. I didn't really care one way or the other but Ryan thought it was be fun to do "mild" black Friday shopping. So we left the house at 8:30 (I told you it was mild) to go check it out. We went to a few different stores and I discovered that babies-r-us half off is wal-marts normal price... We got ourselves our first Christmas tree... It was fun to set it up, even though we wont be in Vegas for Christmas this year...

30 weeks

30 weeks so far I have been perfect. My feet hurt when I'm done with work but thats normal with everyone... I dont have heartburn, or leg cramps and I also have had zero braxton hicks contractions. I have had some rather vivid dreams lately... the other night I dreamed that my mom got another pet turkey and some more chickens and the chickens were sleeping on a box with kittens and one of them was pink... yeah that a quite a lot of zombie dreams... work has been interesting I just did an overnight this week. It was the easy, I actually finished two hours early working painfully slow then after trying to find stuff to do we left an hour early...

Ryan and I had a family function at his aunts house... I do try to be social when I am there. Its actually a lot of fun talking to them.

I am on season three and a half of gilmore girls... I am so happy to know someone who owns the show!!!

28 weeks

So I find it interesting that I'm "small" for seven months. most people freak out when I tell them how far along I am. I was at church today and people looooove to come talk to us because we are "new" and she said:

"I'm going to be a grandma soon! She's due in April! Is that when you are going to have your little one?"

"No actually I'm due in January"

I loved the look I got from her like I was crazy... I get my sugar test tomorrow, I've kept my drink in the fridge for a while so I'm hoping that it wont taste too nasty. I also dont plan on drinking (anything but water) or eating before the test. I really have no desire to have to go back in for the four hour test. We have set the day for my baby shower, its going to be December 11th at my moms house. Its going to be fun... It will be a few days after my 34 week check up. Oh time is flying and I dont like it

26 weeks

So we have had a lot of issues with our car lately... literally. One day Ryan was driving home from work and the radiator blew up... yes I'm serious. Once we got ripped $650 for a brand new radiator he went to go get it smogged and oh yes it didn't pass smog. Someone disconnected the battery when they replaced the radiator and now the computer needed to be rest because it wouldn't complete a drive cycle. This happened the exact same time last year when we tried to smog... it cost us almost $700 to fix it that time. When Ryan went in to try to get it fixed to our luck they had no tecnitions. Ryan seriously thought about driving the car off a cliff or burning it the desert but instead he went online and we were approved for a car. Once I got home from work we went down to planet Nissan and we walked around and talked to our wonderful sales guy that had a sense of humor. We were going to buy a used car, but when they did the work up and looked at it it would have been crazy to buy a used one. They need to advertise how great they are, we dont have perfect credit, we dont have horrible credit either but thats not the point. Used car would have been 10% interest and the new one would be 1.9% with a lower per month payment. So we got the new car... it has 30 miles on it! I love it! It drives soooo smooth! So old car 22% interest (yes I had a credit card interest on my crappy crappy car) to a brand new safe car that we can bring Madison home and not worry.

I love the second trimester of pregnancy... it is a breeze. Its wonderful! I can still work fine, I am still movable... She likes to kick me but she's good while I'm at work... its very hard to concentrate when she is wiggly in there. I'm days away from the thrid trimester.... Less than a hundred days until I get to see her little face!!! We picked a day for my baby shower!!! Its going to be December 11th (Saturday) at 4pm at my moms house... by the way I like monkeys and those giant flower headbands... hint hint hint I want those giant flower headbands. January is going to come sooner than I would like...

22/23 weeks

John came into town for the unlv / unr football game. Ryan and I decided we weren't going to go because we don't wouldn't be able to last sitting in the bleachers for that long. John hadn't seen our apartment yet so he decided he would come over and see it. While he was here he decided to see who's stomach was bigger... I do believe he is beating me. His face is priceless.

Madison was going crazy last night. Ryan put his hand on my stomach to see if he could feel her moving around. He didn't feel anything for a minute and thought I was going crazy until she did a nice big thump for him. It freaked him out a little bit but it was just her letting him know shes in there.

I went in to get another ultrasound today because she wouldn't sit still long enough for the last one. I made sure I ate nothing with sugar in it to help her be a little bit calm. during the ultrasound i found out something that makes me very happy! I found out that I'm not going to die!! Yippie! I found out that my placenta migrated to the top of my uterus so I'm not in risk of having a privia any more. She wouldn't show her heart last time and this time she wouldn't show her hands. she kept them under her her chin the entire time. when we tried to get her to move them she just starting to play with them it was kind of funny to watch. we got a really good look at her heart and the doctor said that she looks perfect. I go back in ten weeks December 7th (i know December!) just to make sure that shes growing the way that shes supposed to. for the time being she's head down but i seriously doubt that she'll stay that way for longer than ten minutes. she was trying to turn sideways on me yesterday which didn't feel that great. Right now she weighs 1 pound 2 ounces...

We had a big day! Ryan graduated from college! I was so proud of him! He worked so hard and all his work paid off! He's taking one quarter off then he's going to go back to get his next degree. Its so nice to have him work so hard for our little family.

Last week we went into the hospital to get Ryans Gallbladder removed. I know he's been a busy boy! He's doing great now! Its so nice to know that he isn't going to get sick in the middle of the night anymore. It also makes me very happy that we live when we do because all they had to do was put four little cuts in him to get it out. If he would have had it done years ago he might not have made it... or he would have just had to deal with it. Yippie for living in 2010!

We had our 18 weeks ultrasound (yes I know I'm two weeks slow putting this up) we found out that we are going to be having a hyperactive little girl. The ultrasound tec was laughing because she said that she was the "most hyper" baby that she had ever seen. Yes that fact does scare me. She wouldn't sit still long enough to get a good look at her heart so I have to go back in two weeks and hopefully she will sit still long enough to get a good look at it. She is very hyper. She has taken to letting me know when SHE is hungry. I'm not always hungry when she lets me know she is hungry. She starts doing flips to let me know she wants me to eat. Now saying she's flipping is an understatement she just starts flipping and flipping for as long as it takes for me to eat something. It feels SO WEIRD! But I love it!!! Hyper hyper girl... I hope she gets it out of her system while shes in there... I love the shoes Ryan's mom got us... they are sooooo cute! They even have left and right on the sides of them.
