Vacations

Went on a couple of trips in the last month and it was fun.

Grand Canyon Trip for Norris:
     He went to the Grand Canyon with his dad and sister and people in his dads ward. He was gone for three days and he had lots of fun. I was so so sad I couldn't go but maybe next year when I am not 8 month pregnant.

Mammoth Trip with our friends:
    We went to Mammoth for 5 days and stayed up in Norris Gma condo and it was so nice. We meet Shannon and Kyle up there. My mom came to hang and watch baby Jaden when Shannon, Kyle, Norris and I did some adventure stuff that wasn't conducive to a baby. We had lots of fun. We were able to relax, make dinner, sleep in, go on hikes, bike, and go out on the lake. One day we went on a hike around a lake up there and it was so beautiful. Another day we went to Mary lake rented some paddle boards and when out for two hours and then had lunch next to the lake. That was the most fun thing. It was everyone's first time and we all enjoyed it. We made this big raft at one point by putting all four paddle boards next to each other and flowed towards shore. On of the other days we just relaxed and went on a walk. Another day we went on a bike ride down a fun paved path. The boys did a dirt trail on time and the girls walked around the shopping area. And the very last day we woke up super early and did Rainbow Falls and it was pretty. It was a great fun hike. So glad we started early else we would have died from the heat. After the hike we went to The Stove ( a good breakfast place) and eat some yummy food. Over all it was a great trip.

Utah, Education Week with my mom and Janet (my mother-in-law):
    I was really lucky that I had the time and opportunity to go and listen to great speaker all week teach different life lessons learned. Also to gain more knowledge. They have all types of classes like spiritual, nutrition, financial, and historical. It was great. We didn't go to classes all day but about 5 or so and then we took break shopping and eating. Glad I got to go. I really did learn a lot. The drive to Utah there and back wasn't that bad either. I thought since being 34 weeks it was going to be hard but not to bad.

Picture are to come!!

35 Weeks

So I am 35 weeks this week and I am getting more and more excited to meet this little guy. Things and slowing coming along and we are getting things ready here and there.

Problems: Right RIB! That's it. It hurts like 3/4 of the day most days. Some days its more painful than others. Also it starts hurting in my back every couple of days around the same area in the front. I don't feel like my lungs are quite squished yet but ribs do.

Doctors: Had a check up this week and I met a good Doctor that I am going to be seeing from now on cause they scheduled me with her from now on. She is Dr. Fung. She is nice and answered all my questions and wasn't in a rush, which is always nice. I have to go in every week now till the baby comes. I am glad the doctors office is close by:)

Movements: Baby is so fun that watch and feel. He is a character in there. I have a better idea of where the baby is at and what is what b/c we did an ultrasound about two weeks ago and the doctor could tell where things were and told us. I know the baby rotates and move a lot still but I feel I can still tell which side he has shifted. He is head down and his spine/ back is right along my right front side of my belly button, if that makes sense. On the left side he has a knee and a heal that pops out all the time. Some days he will rotate side and kick on the right side but mainly he likes the left side for kicking. His hands I believe are down low and when he moves them I feel it in my lower lower part of the uterus, it could be his head too. I can defiantly feel the pressure of his head when he stretches sometimes. He get the hiccups a lot more than he use to, at least once maybe even twice a day. The hiccups are always low which is a good indicator that he is still head down. Hoping this baby stays head down the whole time:)

Food: My habits are reverting back to my first trimester habits. I feel lazy about food again and just eat whatever is easy. I would wake up hungry all the time. I have noticed I am starting to feel this way again. For example, I love Oatmeal and making a bowl of it with fruit and honey on top most every morning but lately I am just too lazy and think cereal is just so much faster. Haha sad I know. Still cant do avocados. 

Exercise: Well I have been on vacation for the last two weeks so its been a little hard to get the gym but I have stayed active which is nice. I started back up at the gym again this week and it feels good. Still able to move around pretty good and I am so happy about that.

Other thoughts: Still wearing my wedding ring and that makes me really happy:) I made a list of what I would want at the hospital and I am going to start get the bag ready. Also my birthing plan is slowly coming along too. Next week we are going to visit the hospital we will be delivering at and that should be exciting but unreal at the same time. That's it for now!
