New Truck!!!

So I forgot to mention that Jon and I (okay just Jon, I really did nothing...) finished our truck! You saw the before pictures on my blog earlier, about 2 months ago or so, and now it's finally finished! Unfortunately I can never remember to put the pictures on my blog, so it's a good thing that Jon started another blog to show off his handywork! And sorry that there's not very many pictures and that some of them aren't the best - we have a really really REALLY crappy camera. Anyway, to see the pictures go here: http://jonscustompaint.blogspot.com/

Just a Little Baby Update

So, since I'm basically using this as my journal now (I think that everyone else is doing the same thing with their blogs too!) I wanted to take note of a few things so that I don't forget so if I ever do get around to writing in my real journal I'll have dates and stuff to reference. :)

Anyway, Baby Girl is still growing strong, she likes to get into little shoving matches with me. I only have 5 weeks until her due date, which I am way excited about! I started having Braxton Hicks about 2 1/2 weeks ago (around November 4th or 5th?) and actually had to leave my training class because I couldn't hide my discomfort, so I put them on an activity and went to the lobby to lay down. On the 6th though, I woke up feeling like a rockstar and found out that she had dropped! So since then I've had more braxton hicks and people have noted that she sits lower, and otherwise I'm just swollen and uncomfortable almost all of the time. Luckily I'm in my last training class right now, so after Friday I won't be teaching for 7 1/2 hours a day and I'll be able to take it easier and won't have to stress about pre-term labor like I was when I thought I would be training until 38 1/2 weeks (don't worry, that class was cancelled!) :) And last but not least, I've already gained 40 pounds, which I wasn't too thrilled about but at the same time I'm really not too concerned about. We'll see how I feel after she's born though. :) (Anyone want to lose weight with me next year?)

So yeah, that's my baby update. I go in again on December 3rd when I'll be 37 weeks so we'll see where I'm at then. I can't wait to meet my little girl! I know that no one else will be interested in this post, but I'm so excited and want to make sure that I have a record of even the little things! :)

Another Baby Shower Update...

Hey guys, I'm sorry but there is another change in plans for the friend shower. My bff Katie is throwing it for me and she's recently had some medical issues that she had to go into surgery for on Tuesday, and because of that we haven't gotten any invites out and I wanted to make sure that she had time to recouperate and not worry about planning a party, so we are putting it off again. Thanks for those of you who have been keeping tabs and I wanted you to know that you are not forgotten! :) We're not sure when we will be moving it too, but more than likely it will be in December (sometime the week of the 7th since that's when my time off starts) or it may even be after Baby Girl is born sometime in January. I'll let you know as soon as we have the plans in place, but again I just wanted to make sure that Katie had the time she needed to get better because I would feel way too guilty if she threw me a shower when she was still sick and sore from surgery. Anyway, I just wanted to give everyone an update!

Baby Shower Update

Hey, just so you guys know, my shower for friends was going to be this Saturday but change of plans, it's now going to be the 14th (a week from Saturday). If you want an invite then make sure I have your address! It's going to be at my house, but all of the details will be on the invites. Hope to see you there!
