Thiry seven...

Well life has been quite crazy around our household lately... The last couple of weeks have been packed with lots of events. A couple weeks ago we went to Newport Beach to Brian's cousin's wedding, it was a fun last little trip before the baby, but I don't think would travel being so big again. Christmas came and went all too fast. I stressed myself out way too much this year, all the stress and craziness, and the day flew by. We had so much fun being able to spend the day with both of our families though! In the midst of all the hussle and bussle I've been trying to get ready for our sweet baby's arrival. We have been getting lots of last minute things done, bought, and put together. After this week I think we will have everything and place and ready for our little girl :) I had a Dr's appointment today, things went well and we are making progress! He said I'm 2 centimeters dilated and 70% effaced, yay!! I can't believe we are so close to having this little one here!
To my sweet baby girl,
Time is flying by so fast and before we know it you are going to be here :) I am anxious to hold you and cuddle you and love on you! Daddy is anxiously waiting too, he can hardly stand it. He wants to hold you more than anything in this world. We can't wait to see your sweet face and see who you look like. I hope you look like your daddy, he was such a cute baby, I'm hoping you get his crazy hair too! I love it! We love you so much already and our counting down the days until your arrival! Love you forever and ever....

Love,
Mommy

I can't wait for this puffy face to be normal again :)

A belated birthday...

Yesterday was my cute sister Sommer's birthday! She turned the big 2-5!! Sommer is the most darling wife and mother, she is so sweet and kind. She would do anything for anyone she is one of the most self less people I know. I sure do love this girl and am so glad she's my sis! Happy birthday Soms sorry its a little late.... Love you!!

Funny things people say...

Well this week has been the week for people to acknowledge my pregnant belly... when I say acknowledge I mean say just about whatever is on their mind. I don't mind people thinking things about how I look or what they think of my belly...think away, but please don't want you to actually tell me what you're thinking!! I guess people assume when you're pregnant you don't have feelings and that whatever silly thing they are about say you will be immune to... well it is quite the contrary my friends! Emotions and feelings are at an all time high! I've learned to just let it roll and laugh about it :) I'll share a few of the funny things people have said....

Patient at work (says to one of my co-workers)- "Oh wow Brianna sure is big... she must be due next week right??"

Me-(thinking to myself) wrong lady try adding a few more weeks to that!

Various people- "My goodness you look like you're ready to pop!!"

Me-"Uhh... why thank you..."

Man behind me in line at the dollar store- "So when are you due?"

Me-January 19th

Man at the store-How exciting do you know what you're having?

(I'm thinking how nice he is, and how refreshing it is to have a friendly conversation after hearing the many funny things people have had to say to me about being pregnant)

Me- It's a girl :)

Man at the store- "Well you sure look miserable, I bet you can't wait for her to be out!'

Me- Gee thanks :/

Nurse at the Dr's office-(Looks at my feet and ankles...)"Oh wow look at those ankles, you sure do have some swelling!"

Me-Yeah...obviously

Nurse-(Lifts my shirt to get the baby's heart beat) "My goodness your belly has already stretched so much, I don't know how much more it can go, you're sure getting big!"

Me-.....at this point I have no words.....

At times I would like to crawl in a hole, and come out when the baby is born. But then tell myself to snap out of it! Yes I may be extra round...have a rather large belly.... look like I'm ready to pop...and have swollen ankles... and when people remind me of all this I just have to laugh :)

In the 30's

Dear sweet baby,

I can't believe another month has already gone by and you are due in exactly 2 months. Things started to seem more real when I hit 30 weeks! It's crazy to think we are in the 30's now! Time sure is flying. 2 months today is your scheduled birthday, whether you come on January 19th well I guess that's up to you :) It seems like just yesterday I found out you were coming, and now in just 8 weeks you will be here! I can't wait to hold you and squeeze you and kiss you all over! I'm sorry if it becomes too much for you, but the love I have for you will have been building up for 9 months I just can't wait to love on my little girl. Daddy can't wait either! He tells me everyday how he wishes you were here, and how he wants to hold you more than anything! You're not even here yet and you already have him wrapped around your little finger. Today you gave us a tiny scare and thought you might be coming early... Last night I started feeling some weird pains, and then this morning I felt like I might be having contractions but tried not to think a whole lot of it because they were so far apart. As the morning went on they got to be closer and closer I began to wonder if I should call my Dr. but thought I was just being paranoid and they would think I was just another crazy patient who called for every ache and pain. Well once the pain was coming consistantly 3 minutes apart I started to get worried. As much as I would love to see you I want you to stay snuggled in there until you are nice and healthy and ready for the world! Well I went down to my Dr's office and they said it was a good thing I came in because I had a bladder infection (I know I'm sorry a little too much info), and that leads to pre-term labor. They said my uterus was contracting but the cervix looked ok, and that's the most important thing. So don't worry they gave me some good medicines, a big fat shot to be exact. The nurse nicely told me "This is gonna really burn I'm not gonna lie" well she didn't lie it burned like crazy! They mine as well have given me a shot of fire! You are definitely worth it though :) After the shot and some meds they said everything would be ok. I kept thinking how crazy it would be if you came this early, and exactly 2 months from your due date. There is so much I still need todo to get ready for you! You just keep growing and getting strong like a good girl! I love you so much sweet girl, and am counting down the days until I get to hold you in my arms, rather than holding this round belly of mine. I am getting bigger and bigger everyday so I know you are too! As uncomfortable as it is I know that's just right! I hope you will always know how much your mommy and daddy love you, and what a blessing you are to us.

Love you always and always,

Mommy

Yes this is me in all my glory swollen/chubby face and all!... 7 months down... 2 to go!

Happy Birthday.... To YOU!

Yesterday was my sweet sister Stephanie's birthday! She is the big 2-1!! My little Steph is growing up! This picture fits her perfectly... since she was a little girl she has always been so smiley :) She can brighten up anyones day with her smile. She is so sweet and loving and kind to everyone. I am so lucky she is my little sis. With her sweetness she snatched up a most wonderful young man and recently got engaged (what a lucky guy :)) they will be married December 30th! I can't believe she's old enough to get married!! Seems like just yesterday we were little girls playing barbies... Anyways Steph I hope you had a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! You deserve it :) Love you!!
