35 weeks 3 Days

This is gonna be short, cause I'm tired and have to start dinner!
Those are the pictures from the baby shower we had on Saturday. Everyone say "Thanks Heather!" for throwing it for me. Thank you to Jason, Christy & Ashley for coming!
Everyone is asking what we have, what we don't have and what we need. As of right now, in our home we have: crib, stroller, two car seats, enough bibs, about 20ish onsies/gowns, cart cover, a blanket, some diapers, some wipes, a bottle warmer, car seat bar toy, vibrating chair and a pair of shoes. My mom has a bag of onsies/gowns at her house that she'll be bringing with her when she comes. I beleive my sister is getting us a bassinet (lemme know if that's still happening Lauren). We are getting a high chair from Jared. My grandma has a toy and a mattress cover for the crib for us.
What we need are the little things: blankets, socks, diapers & wipes, things like that. We also still have our registries at Target & Wal*Mart (both of which have shipping address on file). If anyone wants to get us diapers & wipes, go to www.diapers.com, they have good prices and always give a discount to first orders.

I am not asking for gifts! I am just letting everyone know what we have and don't have, cause ya'll keep asking! :)

I'll be 36 weeks on Saturday, meaning my little monster can escape at any time! Very scary but very exciting as well. I am doing well, no pains or anything bad. Doctor appointments are always the same. Cam is doing well as well, also very scared and excited. Hope all of you are doing well!


Love you!

This picture is just to show how far he moved down already!

Just a picture for all you people bugging me for one! Taken today. 8 months, 2 days pregnant.

8 Months!

I am the worst blogger ever; never updating!
So I am 31 weeks and 5 days. Almost a full 8 months! It's coming up fast!
I finally got my Dr, and she's great. The office is like a country club, very comfortable, and very close to home and hospital. Being that I hadn't seen a doctor since January, before I moved, It was good to get in there and hear her say everything is fine. He is perfect measurements, and perfect heartbeat and 150 beats per minute. I will be going every two weeks now, and then soon once a week. Next appointment is next Tuesday. Just to check in and make sure I'm doing okay.
Cam and I get very excited when RJ moves at night. He can kick Cams hand right off my tummy, which Cam loves. He also plays a little game with Cam; Cam will poke at him, and RJ will kick right back at him and then wait for the next poke. Very cute, and Cams smile when that happens is fantastic.
Being that it is getting so much closer so much faster I do worry that we won't have everything we need, and we won't be prepared. But, my baby shower is soon, and Dad is getting our crib, Mom, the bedding, and Mom said something about Lauren getting our bassinet. So I think we'll be okay with everything because of all the support we're getting from family and friends. Thanks guys!
Cam did his first festival week last week--long week. But he got a day off finally yesterday, and we had a great day BBQ'ing and laying out by the pool. I spend my days cooking and baking now, being that I have nothing else to do. Cam is definetly well fed! He is great to me, putting lotion on my tummy when I need it. Making sure I'm comfortable when laying down because of my sciaticia (which is just painful!!!!), and always makes sure that I have everything I need.
Thats my update for now, being that its getting closer I probably will be updating more frequently as things start happening, so keep an eye out for that.
Again, thanks for everything everyone! Love and miss you all!

Not a whole lot going on...

Not a whole lot to update about at the moment. Getting sick again, was good for a few weeks. Cameron finally felt him move! He was excited. I'm done with my externship, but I'm doing a few extra hours just in case. So Wednesday is officially my last day at the office. I may try a temp agency, but we'll see how that works out. No one wants to hire a huge pregnant lady.
Anywho, hope all of you are well!!

First Post

I started this blog to keep family and friends updated on my pregnancy, and then when Ryder is born, on his life.
The picture is me at 22 weeks. People keep telling my I'm so small, I feel huge. The sickness part has finally went away, although it comes back every so often. As much as everyone gives me slack for saying this, I really don't like being pregnant. I can't imagine why people say they love it. It may just be that I was sick so much, and I just feel icky. My back is starting to hurt a lot, due to my ribs being pushed open. He's really high, as you can see.
We are all settled into our new home, and we're happy with it. We do still have some unpacking and organizing to do, but I will be doing that when my extern ends (which is on Feb. 25th).
As of right now, I'm thinking of not driving back home for my shower. The main reason being that I'm going to be 6 months on Saturday, and just keep getting bigger. A 13 hour drive by myself just doesn't sound like a lot of fun. I want to see my family, and my friends, I miss all of you so much!!! But I just don't think I can do it. I will post the links to my registries, at Target and Wal*Mart, and if gifts are purchased, they can be sent to me here in Arizona.
I hope you all understand and accept the decision. It's best for me and my Ryder! This post is done for the night, I'm very tired and hungry, and my back is KILLING me! And I can't even take anything for it! Yay!
I love you all! Hope you are all doing well, and please take advantage of the comment feature on here!!
