30 Weeks

I am 30 weeks today. I have 71 days till my due date. Wow crazy! I am feeling pretty good. I am not at all comfortable when sleeping. It is getting harder to do normal things like bend over or stand up or anything like that. I can feel him move all the time. I have noticed lots of movement especially at like 6 am, which unfortunately makes me think that he is going to think that is playtime when he joins us. haha. It is so much fun to feel and see my whole stomach move. I am getting more and more excited and a little nervous. Its coming quick but I am excited to start getting everything ready for him. So here is my big belly at 30 weeks.

Happy Birthday to ME!

For those of you that don't know I am a big Utah Jazz fan. I have had season tickets for 4 years now. Last week Matt surprised me with an early birthday gift. We were headed to the game like we always do. He told me he had a friend he wanted to go say hi to in the lower bowl before we went up to our normal upper bowl seats. We just kept walking down closer and closer to the floor. We got down to the 3rd row that was practically on the court and he said happy birthday these are our seats. It was so cool. I have never been able to sit that close and it was a completely different experience. It was a great birthday gift and I was really surprised.



Then yesterday was my actually birthday and I did exactly what I wanted to do. I relaxed and did nothing. I didn't have to work until 3 pm so I slept in and did pretty much nothing all morning. Then I went into work for 4 hours. When I got off we went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. One of my favorite places. And then I came home to beautiful flowers and I took a relaxing bath. I have heard with a baby on the way I may not have much time to just relax and have quite time to myself so I was grateful for the day to relax. Matt was great to have candles set up for me and draw me a bath and then leave me alone to enjoy it haha.
I am now 24 and loving it!

Green and Yellow, Black and Yellow

The Superbowl was this last Sunday. The teams playing were the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. If you don't know the colors were Green and Yellow and Black and Yellow. So I decided to do some festive treats. My cousin Mitzi blogged a few weeks ago about these awesome rainbow cupcakes she made for her daughters class. Since then I really wanted to try it. So I made layer color cupcakes and homemade oreos. So my cupcakes were not as cute as my cousins but hey I am new at this homemaking thing so I was pretty proud of myself. So here they are.

Baby Dresser

We got a dresser from this place where you can older furniture and finish it yourself if you want to. Matt wanted to do it himself for our little guy.
This is what it look like when we got it.
Matt and Mike started the project.
They did a great job.
This is the finished project.

26 weeks

I now only have 3 months and 4 days until my due date. CRAZY! I have been feeling pretty well except for I am starting to get pretty uncomfortable. I wake up more often in the night and have to move positions because one of my limbs is asleep or something is hurting. It also take a little more energy to move around. You don't really think about how often you use your ab muscles until you can't use them as much. I am doing pretty good though. I am feeling probably every feeling possible about this little guy coming into this world. I am mostly excited but also anxious, nervous and kinda scared. I know I have a lot of support and that it will be an adventure. I am excited to be a momma and I am excited for Matt to be a dad. I know he will be great. Alright thats all for now. See you next time.

Baby stuff

My dad and step mom bought us a new crib for the baby. Matt and our friend Mike set it up that night. It seems more real now that we have a baby crib set up in our 2nd room.
As for being pregnant. I have actually been doing really good since I stopped being sick around 16 weeks things have been pretty great. I have quite the baby bump now. There is not much I can do to hide it now. It is getting a little uncomfortable to sleep. I have pain in my back every once and a while. I guess I can say the good thing about being so sick in the beginning is that it makes these things seem not bad at all. As for the good stuff, I can feel him moving around and I love it. I am so excited for this little guy to join us. It is fun getting ready for him to come. A bit overwelming because there are a lot of thing that you need before a baby comes but I think we will be plenty prepared.

In less then 4 months a baby will be in here! Crazy!
