June.27.2015 37 Weeks
Last Friday my Sister-in-law, Marites (we call her Teng) & my Mom-in-law, Julie threw me an awesome shower in Vernal where most of mine & Brady's family live. Everyone was VERY generous & I got lots of cute things. Julie even made everything dairy-free so I could eat it!!
I have some wonderful family. They spoiled me like crazy!
We had a really good turn out! Thanks to everyone who came & hung out with me!
Here are a few of my nieces, Emmy has the crazy blonde hair, Kalina is in grey, & her sister Lily is in the pink. These girls are my buddies, I just love em to pieces! We played a few games like guess how many candies were in this gigantic bottle...Lily won, that's why we are laughing so hard. She wanted to win that big bottle SO BADLY. We also played baby bingo which was fun too!
Since there are a million photos of me opening gifts I'll spare you all my ridiculous facial expressions & just flash a few. This bag was full of SUPER cute clothes from my mom in law & her daughters. Those sandals I'm holding are the cutest things I've ever seen. Brady & I have some just like it! We're going to be triple twinning when this boy gets here.
This awesome playard is from my mom...Even though she already bought me a stroller with a car seat & threw me a shower...Mom, you spoil me. When we got back home Brady & I set it up. It's just as cool or cooler than it looks. Yard work with a kid is going to be a breeze!
The shower was awesome! I definitely feel more prepared & ready to have this kid. Thanks a ton to my sis who took pictures for me!!
We also came to Vernal for the Peterson Family Reunion. B & I haven't been able to go for the last 3 years because we're normally out doing summer sales. After the shower we all loaded up & headed for the family cabin for dinner & hanging out. There is a little river that flows right behind the cabin & everyone swam while we waited for dinner to cook. Brady has a really big family & it's always a fun time with them! Saturday's reunion schedule was to go to the lake to swim & go boating. I love boating. I was a little bummed that I couldn't wakeboard but I'm sure I'll get my chance before the summer is over! During the weekend Brady was playing in the Vernal All-nighter. It's a mens softball tournament. After the lake he had a game then we went to have dinner at his grandmas house. They played really well & ended up taking 2nd place overall. He had to play all night on Saturday! He was pretty exhausted by the time they ended after their last game at 9am Sunday morning.
I was a crappy person & forgot to take any pictures the whole time. Seriously, that's pathetic. Sunday morning we rushed back to home for my cousin's farewell talk. He did a great job. I'm very proud of him for his decision to serve a mission. He is going to Washington DC & teaching the gospel in ASL, which is awesome because he is deaf but doesn't know ASL because he has a cochlear implant & was taught to speak instead of sign.
Brady & I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up on our rest. It was nice to relax, I never let myself sit down. I always find lots to do unless I'm at seven peaks basking in the sun. Monday we had a Dr. appointment. It started out with a fluid check & NST (non-stress test). The babe & I passed with flying colors. Luckily my fluid is just fine. The nurse said the baby was probably in a bad position last time they checked. Then we had our regular appointment. I'm dilated to a 1cm & I got to schedule my induction date for the 11th of July!!!! YAY!
Next Monday, at our next appointment they'll do another fluid check & NST before my appointment again. Then if I haven't progressed anymore they will just have me come back Thursday to check again & from that point I'll stop my blood thinners so I can pop this baby out on Saturday!! We are both REALLY excited. I can't wait to lay my eyes on our little guy. I'm crossing my fingers & working out really hard to make my body be ready sooner hehe. If i've progressed more by my appointment Monday they will have to schedule me for earlier...wish me luck!!
STATS TO DATE
Total weight gain: This weekend I really packed it on....I gained 2 more pounds #fattystatus
Maternity Clothes? NEVER!
Stretch Marks? Nope :)
Sleep: Not the best. I'm getting about 6 hours a night & waking up early. Our house is hotter than Death Valley inside so falling asleep is rough when you're drenched in sweat.
Miss Anything? wake boarding & laying on my back & stomach to tan! The back of my legs are more that a few shades lighter than the fronts.
Movement: Yes, especially at night. I lay down & the party starts. & when I say party, I mean like a UFC fight going on inside my guts.
Food Cravings: No, except this weekend I did want some protein. We weren't home & I couldn't eat most of the stuff that was served at the reunion so I ended up filling my stomach with chips & anything I could eat without dairy.
Gender: still a boy (weird right....hehe)
Labor Signs: besides the normal psychotic amount of Braxton Hicks, I've been cramping a lot especially later in the day or in the morning. The last few days my back has been on hurting the second half of the day. Both are good things & signs my body is getting ready so...Body, BRING IT ON!
Belly Button In or Out: In
Belly Button In or Out: In
Wedding Ring On or Off? On
Happy or Moody? I'm the nicest girl in the world. Unless it was last Thursday & 1/2 of Friday & your name is Brady...
Looking Forward To? The 4th of July this weekend. We are SUPPOSED to go boating at one of the lakes out here then we are for sure going to the Bees game (baseball) later that night & watching the fireworks they do at the game. My brother & sister-in-law that live right next to us are blessing their baby this Sunday so we will have another busy weekend. I told you, the busyness never ends.
I love all of the pictures! Your shower was super fun!!! :) Love you! I'm glad that you will be busy until he gets here so it will go by super fast for you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking them for me! What are you guys doing for the 4th?? love you too!
