24 Weeks!

Well the baby is now the size of a Cantaloupe!  I just keep getting bigger and bigger everyday, and my wardrobe is getting smaller and smaller. :)

I have definitely been experiencing the common symptoms at this time, including lower back pain, swelling, I get out of breath very easily, and lots of heartburn and indigestion.
Baby actually looks like a baby now, and I have been feeling her so much more each day. Mostly in the mornings when I am first waking up, and then at night when we are lying on the couch watching TV. I am still waiting to be able to feel the kicks from the outside so Chris can feel her too, but that hasn't happened yet. Boo :( Hopefully soon!

I started going to the Prenatal Yoga class they have at the hospital Thursday nights, and it was great! It was cool to be around a bunch of other pregnant girls and have a good workout. I definitely felt better afterwards and I think if I keep going I won't have as much back pain.
Everything else is going great. Work has been really busy and we have been having fun getting our nursery ready and just enjoying this time.

One more week and I get to go to Vegas! I am so excited for the little break, get to some warmer weather, and spend some time with my sister. We are going to make lots of cute headbands for baby and just have fun. :)

Catch Up

It's been a couple weeks since I have posted, so I thought while I am sitting here waiting for this heartburn to pass and watching Saved By The Bell on Netflix, I would catch up! Easter was last week and it was great! We went to church and taught our cute little 5 year olds, showing them a video about the Resurrection. I was so tired because the night before I could not fall asleep! It was probably 5am before I could sleep. Insomnia, heartburn, and Chris's snoring did not help one bit. So, I was not in the mood to prepare a big lesson. Good thing a movie and a coloring page could keep their attention for the hour. :) We also gave them a little plastic egg with some candy in them. They were sure excited about that! After church we went over to Chris's parents house for dinner. We ate a yummy steak dinner with mashed potatoes and salad while watching The Amazing Race. What a perfect Easter! :)

Another exciting happening the past couple weeks was our doctor's appointment! We had our Anatomy Scan at this appointment and it was so cool. Esther also came so she could see the baby with us. Everything went really well. She had all her organs and parts and looking really good! I loved seeing her move all around. Oh that reminds me, she was still a SHE! So that was very exciting. My favorite part was in one of her profile shots, we could see her drinking in there. So cute to see her little mouth open and watch her swallow.

The doctor said my belly was growing right on track and measuring right where I should be. She said the baby was a little small, about a little over a week behind. But they didn't change my due date, and maybe I will just have small babies! :) That's ok with me! She also told Chris to make sure I rest more and drink more water. Apparently my amniotic fluid can't get get any lower or I could be put on bed rest. Definitely don't want that!

Conference this past weekend was awesome. It was so nice to spend 2 days in my pj's, lounging around the house, and listening to the Prophet. It was so relaxing and it's always nice to get little reminders on what I need to improve in my life. I just wish it was more than just twice a year! I also wish that these next 3 weeks go by fast cause I am going to Vegas at the end of the month! Yay!
