Then Come Babies: 36 Weeks and 3 Days!!!

Well here I am late again on my weekly post. Oh well!! The last 4 weeks we have either been traveling, or being hosts for family. It's been lots of fun to be so busy especially with my due date just around the corner. Finals are over and we finally get a break. On monday Chris went in for his Massage that I got him for his birthday and he loved it. Then that night we went to a new trampoline place in Orem called Extreme Trampolines just across from Wal-Mart. It was fun to have friends and family join us for an hour as part of Chris' Birthday celebration since his birthday was during finals. Everyday since Sunday we have been putting away beds, pulling out boxes and other things that have been in storage..going through them and organizing everything! We wanted to be ahead of the game for when the baby comes and then we have to move. But it's not just moving....we are sending most of our stuff with Ryan and Jessi in a truck back to Texas to be stored so we hopefully won't have to take another one come December. Also the Condo has less storage space for all of our stuff.

Due to my lack of dilation during my pregnancy with Grayson my midwives have been a little concerned this time and have been getting me into lots of natural ways of helping my cervix soften. Two nights ago as I said in an earlier post what they call the Mucus Plug came out. Some women notice it some don't and some don't lose it til they are in the hospital. Well for my mom she said she lost hers and had the baby in the next 6 hrs (I believe that's correct). But that's not the case for everybody which I'm really okay with since I'm only 36 weeks. Anyway it could be in a few days it could be weeks it could be weeks after my due date. IT basically just means that things are progressing and my cervix is softening and working itself out. VERY exciting for me!

Last night I was home by myself while Chris attended the Jazz vs. Suns game. The curse was broken and the Jazz won the game! I say curse because every game Chris attended they lost....by 1 point! haha. I've been having the normal Braxton Hicks contractions especially if I've been out walking or something. But last night I started to notice some real contractions. I had 3-4 in about an hour that lasted for about a minute but I could definitely tell it was different that just a pain of the BH. My belly would get extremely tight, my heart would start to pound, I would have a heat flash thingy, and I could tell it made me breathe a little differently until the contraction stopped. Very weird and uncomfortable but it definitely wasn't anything extreme. That's my fun news for this week!! I have my appointment tomorrow and they will check me again to see how I am progressing.

Jennie and Dave (Chris' mom and step dad) were sealed this last Saturday in the same Temple that Chris and I were sealed in 3 1/2 years ago. It was wonderful to be there and reminisce on our sealing. I can't believe it's been 4 1/2 years that we've been together and 3 1/2 years that we've been married. What a wonderful blessing it is to know we can be together forever. I sure love my sweet husband. So here I am at 36 weeks...burning up in the heat trying to show my nice round belly. When we attended Callie and Kyle's sealing (also in the same temple) coming up on 3 years ago this June I was also pregnant...I was about 4 months along with Grayson. I just had to laugh when I realized that. haha
