Dr. Appointment!

After heading to the doctor this morning it was nice to get in and out since I was her first appointment.  Wish I could do that every week.  Anyways, I gained 3 lbs (Thanks to the help of Christmas) and my measurements were around 33 1/2 cm.  The baby's heartbeat has been between 150-160 the last several appointments and this week it was between 130-140.  I was supposed to have another ultra sound this week due to my last one and the size of the baby.  However, the doctor said that my last few visits have been right on target size wise so she isn't going to schedule one.  She thinks the baby's size is right on track now and has leveled out since the last ultra sound.  Phewwwwww!  I was scared I was going to have a big one.  

Congratulations!

Congratulations to my high school friend Sara who got engaged to Carlos over Christmas!  Can't wait to celebrate the big day!


Congratulations to my cousin Kent who proposed to Sara over Christmas!  Wedding planned for 2012


Congratulations to our friends Erin and Zach who found out they are having a baby girl in April!  

Christmas!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

Oh, how I love this time of year.  Kurtis and I enjoyed the weekend with my family.  We headed to Pleasanton Christmas Eve to attend church with my parents and grandparents.  Then on Christmas Day we traveled with my parents, Scott, and Carissa to Lincoln to celebrate.  It was so fun to all get together.  It is just amazing how much our family is growing and how old all of us grandkids are getting.  Congratulations to my cousin Kent who proposed to his girlfriend Sarah Christmas Eve!  On Sunday, we celebrated with just the six of us at our house which was also so much fun.  I am so blessed to have an amazing family.  

Baby Shower!

Carissa and Rachel threw me a baby shower with the help from my mom and aunt. I was planning on just a simple little get together with family and friends and of course "little" isn't in my families vocabulary.  My mom made super cute favors and silverware holders and my aunt with crazy with the food as usual.  The shower was absolutely perfect!  We played a few games and then opened all the wonderful gifts.  It was funny that my brother won the attributes game.  Guess he knows his sister pretty well.  It was also fun when I went home with all my gifts. Kurtis said that was it really sunk in that day that the baby is coming soon.  We are so excited!!  

9 more weeks!

Wow, time has flown by and I'm sure it isn't slowing down anytime soon especially with the holidays here.  I have been waking up the last few mornings in a panic because I'm going to have a baby soon and I'm not sure if I'm ready.  I have so much to get ready at school so I ended up staying late last night to help ease some of my worries. I feel so much better that I at least have a dent in my plans.  Then tonight is our last birthing class.  I can't believe I am due in 9 weeks on Friday.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to our friends Kelsey and Ryan on their new bundle of joy!  Kelsey teaches at Newell with me and we have traveled the pregnancy journey together.  Fayth Ann was born on November 30th and she is PERFECT!!  It was so exciting holding her knowing that ours is arriving shortly behind!  

Dr. Appointment-30 Weeks

I headed to the doctor today for my monthly checkup and things are looking good.  After this checkup I start going every other week; which makes it seem so close.  :) Another ultra sound will be scheduled at 34 weeks to check the size of the baby since it was a concern at our last one.


Baby's heartbeat: 158 bpm
