A ticking clock..

6.11.2012

I am 38 weeks pregnant now. Which means I am full term. 
After this last week with a few scares and tiring itching...

I am ready for this!

The nursery is complete,
the house is spotless,
my bags are packed,
the car seat is in,
batteries are in the swing.


I have completed my nesting...

Now where is this dang baby! 

This last weekend, I danced, I walked, among other activities... I even drank CASTOR OIL. 
Can we get this show on the road please?

Scatter brained pregnant lady..

So... It's been about a thousand years since a posted a blog. And not because I haven't had anything interesting going on, I've just been purposely avoiding it so that I don't sound like I am complaining AND have to much time on my hands!

Last update, Colton and I were on our way up to a quick weekend in Utah for our second reception and a second baby shower. They were both a success (despite a tiny bit of family drama) and I would just like to mention a thank you to my mother-in-law Gina for all her hard work on both events.

Sadly however what was supposed to be a quick weekend turned into a never ending weekend for my husband, and he stayed behind to work in Vernal. I guess it's not sad that he is working or that he gets to be with his family, mainly It is sad that out of the 45 days we have been married, we have been 1000 miles apart for 16 of them.

On top of that, he doesn't get to be here for all my baby mama drama! And who doesn't want to be apart of that ;)

If all works out for him in Vernal, then I will likely be joining him after the baby comes... Which need I remind you is RAPIDLY approaching!

I am now 30 weeks pregnant (: stretch marks are in full force and so is planning! This last weekend I went through ALL the baby clothes from hand-me-downs, gifts and my own purchases and organized by size so we knew what was going to fit the baby when. I finally bought an adorable pack n' play that I can use as a crib until I am settled in a more permanent living situation, a diaper bag (which matches my car seat btw, and I have it packed and ready for take off!), and a mobe wrap. Which if you have never invested in one, all that moms I've met that use one SWEAR by it. Im a-little overwhelmed at the site of it, because it's really alot of fabric... And well you know what happens if you wrap it wrong :/

At my 28 week check up I had my glucose test. Its funny because I dreaded it after all the horror stories of how nasty the drink was... but it actually wasn't all that bad. Tasted like flat orange soda? Anyways, failed it. So I was back in the doctors last week for a much more miserable test because I couldn't eat or drink. Long story short, I passed that test and I do NOT have gestational diabetes.

 Tomorrow is my 30 weeks check up, super excited! But to tell you the truth when you are at the doctors every week, its just another checkup!



Yay! for Nesting

I know... I have blogged a ton... but hey, we have a lot going on right now!

Good news numero uno: COLTON  GOT A JOB! (: I'm so proud! And not only is it a decent job, but it's very close to my work.

Which brings me to good news numero dos: We picked an apartment! YAY! We love it and we are soo excited to get settled in. Plus, we got it super close to my work, so we can car pool (woot woot for saving the extra car payment, insurance, and gas!)

Why do we only have one car you ask? Oh my that is a story for an entire blog itself! But super short version so I can tell you about our new place, after being here about a month, Colton's car... well... it died. I guess it didn't have much fun in the sun!

Anyhoo.. back to our place. Here are some sneak peak pictures, and when we are settled I will put more up..



Now as you can see, the grounds are BEAUTIFUL! And Luckily Colton and I both love to swim, so as soon as Jaxon is big enough... you can catch me at that pool!

Butttt the pool is not even the best part. It's the layout of the apartment. Here is what caught my eye

1.almost 900SQ/FT for a one bedroom
(that means HUGE closets, bathroom, and laundry room)
2. and can I just say one more time HUGE bathroom
(Colton and I will be gettin ready at the same time in the morning, so thats a big deal)
3. surpisingly, it was hard to find an apartment in our pirce range with a washer dryer..
this one has a full size laundry room
4. STORAGE STORAGE STORAGE!
the unit has so many places for shelving and other important storage units that people forget about

Anywayssss, we read the reviews online and they have a pretty solid average. We will hope we love it as much as we do so far! I'll keep you posted!
