The Holidays & 34th Week

Well, I haven't blogged in a couple weeks so I am trying to catch up. We went to Idaho falls to Cody's parents house for Christmas! We got there on Friday the 23rd and when we got there Cody's grandma Beverly wasn't doing very well at all so we spent a few hours with her as soon as we got there. I am really glad that we did that because she passed away later that night. Christmas wasnt the same without her but we still had a great time with everyone for the holiday. Because of her passing we stayed Idaho falls the rest of the next week to spend time with Cody's family and help out with what ever we could. We headed down to Salt Lake for the funeral on Friday and stayed until Sunday.

As for baby Ryan, he is doing great! And I am too for the most part.. I'm just starting to get extremely uncomfortable and borderline miserable especially the past couple days. He is starting to work his way down and it's making my cervix hurt at times. And because of how big he is all his moving around hurts when he gets going on a roll. But he could be here safely in about 3 weeks so yay!!! We cannot wait to meet him!

Christmas Morning

32nd Week

Man Oh Man my belly has really popped!! Although once again the belly is looking slightly bigger than it is. We went to Idaho Falls this past weekend to visit Cody's parents! It was so great to see them!

Baby Ryan is doing marvelous (as usual)! I've been very lucky to have had such a wonderful and healthy pregnancy! I am starting to get really uncomfortable though & my belly dropped quite a bit in this past week, he's laying much lower! But am very thankful that I have gained ALL of my weight in my belly & boobs!

31st Week

(my belly is a little smaller than it shows in this picture, the angle makes it look slightly bigger)

Only 9 Weeks left! Yay! I went to the doctor today and everything is looking great! His heartbeat is perfect and my blood pressure was 124/80. Everything is measuring right on track! We can't wait for him to finally be here! My belly pokes STRAIGHT OUT! Looks like a basketball, I luckily haven't gotten big all the way around :)

30th Week!

Well, Only 10 weeks left now! We went up to Washington this past weekend for Thanksgiving to see my parents! We had such a great time.. even though it was quite a drive! Baby Ryan is doing EXCELLENT as usual :) Just growing and kicking like crazy. When we were in Washington we had a baby shower with all my family up there and it went perfectly! Yesterday, I got into the nesting mode and washed all his clothes and set everything up so it's all ready for him. I did it now because I am starting to have no energy or motivation to do much because my body is working so hard at making this little guy! So I wanted to get it done while I still had a tiny bit of energy :)

7 Months! & A Rodgers Update!

Well I am 7 months along now & in my 3rd Trimester! In my 29th Week to be exact :) I gotta go take my glucose test tomorrow which should be a blast... not! ha. Baby Ryan is growing great and moving around like crazy ALL the time! Which has made sleeping a challenge. The third trimester has definitely brought on some crappy symptoms that I didn't have to deal with during the second trimester. I wish I could just to the second trimester twice in a row haha!

Saturday we put up our Christmas tree! Early, I know but we won't be in town next weekend because we are going to Washington to visit my family so we put it up early:)
