Life Lately.

Hey, So it's been awhile.

Like 10 weeks actually. 

So here's a 30 week bump picture.
Yes I am huge. (or I feel huge)

My rings no longer fit. 

And neither do normal cute shoes. 

Life has been incredibly busy for us.

In October we made a last minute move.

We now live in a small apartment in Provo. 

We are both still working and going to school full time.

Matt seems to be doing good with school. English has been hard for him having to write all those papers. 

School has been kicking my butt. All I want to do is sleep. haha

Matt has taken on a new (permanent job) at Jamberry Nails. (this happened in September) He started working early morning in the warehouse, then about a month later James told him of another position opening up. So he currently does approvals, which is making sure the custom nail wraps don't violate any rules or copyrights. The hours are much better with his schedule. It's nice because they are currently offering overtime, which we are hoping he will be able to work. 

I guess I never mentioned it (on my blog), but this past summer a new Chick-Fil-A was built in Orem. All summer long after my job relocated to Sandy without me, Matt had been pestering encouraging me to apply there. Well August came around and I was almost feeling better, and couldn't find any information on it anywhere. I finally found their facebook page and messaged them. I went in to fill out and application, and was hired that day. Little did I know I was hired on as a manager. WHOA! AND magically it didn't make me sick.  Well, let me change that. I only threw up once there, during training. Awesome right?! Turns out late October I had our Owner talk to me, about teaching and training me to be the Director of Marketing for his store. I talked to Matt about it immediately, and started (and still am) training for it! It's wonderful because when the Owner sat me down he ask about my future plans. You know being pregnant and school and all. He literally told me at one point that he knows it's hard, and that it's just going to get harder (with a child). He wanted me to have the ability to work as much as possible, and with this position it frees me up a lot. I can work from home! So this has been a really exciting position for me! 

I just need to continue to learn more, and I currently focusing on getting all my hours in.

Okay, pregnancy wise. I am in the 3rd Trimester. Baby is about 15-17 inches long, and weigh roughly about 2.5-3.8 lbs. 69 days to go. (roughly)

If he was born today, he would have over a 95% chance of living. Naturally there would be some complications. 

Lucky for me, I don't have gestational diabetes. Whew. 

My Iron is low. So I have special medication for that. 

This boy has pushed my hips in and out of place. 

It was so bad I HAD to see a Chiropractor. My hips were out of place for a week, and I was ready to kill someone. I could literally feel my ligaments over stretching, and it would cause me to stubble and limp. Turns out my hips were twisted so bad it made one leg longer than the other.

I'm glad I went. It took 3 tries to get them to stay.

Also, turns out I've grown in the past couple of years. 

He measured me at 5'6" and this was before he fixed my hips. 

Sooo...I guess I'm not considered short anymore. 

Matt and I drive up to SLC every week for a Bradley birthing class. Which has been nice since I feel like I know nothing about birthing or labor or anything of that nature. So it's been great to be forced to learn many things I would have never known on my own. Also it's great because it promotes natural birth! Which is my plan.

I feel like I am starting to get really anxious. 

My mom flies in on Jan. 30th. 

We have received some cute used clothes and have started a small diaper stash.

We really need to get a car seat ASAP.

I need to finish the changing table.

We need to get more baby items pretty dang soon. 

I still need to call my insurance and ask about a breast pump. 

A crib could wait, since we have a bedside sleeper. 

I need a diaper bag. 

I should probably start packing a hospital bag. We need a coming home outfit. 

Okay, I should probably stop before I get stressed out. 

Basically if we just need to buy the carseat/stroller combo. Everything else can wait, and is not nearly as important. 

How Far Along:  30 weeks

Weight Gain/Loss: +12-15lbs!! FINALLY

Sleep: What sleep? I'm always tired! 

Best Moment This Week: I made Matt walk around Babies R Us, and the mall with me. We played with a stoller carseat combo I was looking at.

Movement:  Yes, all the time, especially at bed time. Stinker

Food Cravings/Aversions: Cream Cheese Brownies, Ice, Snow, PB&J (i've settled with Almond butter) Del Taco tacos (Which is proof that this is Matt's child), TUMS, I LOVE TUMS, Churros, clemetines, orange juice. 

Pregnancy Symptoms: Big belly, my belly button sticks out, braxon hicks, I AM HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I out eat Matt now. HOT I AM SO HOT, ALL THE TIME! (Also proof this is Matt's child haha) 

What I Miss: Clothes that fit properly.

Stretch Marks:  Just on the hips from puberty. No new ones.

Girl or Boy?: BOY. 

Belly Button:  Half and Half. But out.  

Wedding Rings:  Off. 

Mood: Depends on the day. haha. I feel like my emotions have leveled out though.

Milestones: 3rd trimester! WOOO! 

Upcoming Appointments/Events: December 23rd. Then we will be going every 2 weeks after that.

What I look forward to: Screaming baby cuddles. (That's keeping it real right?)

Weekly Wisdom: Get off your feet so they don't swell, eat food, buy baby stuff early if you can.





We are getting super excited for this boy.
...I hope he is ready to come early.
