What Now?

So here is the belly. Still growing! Come to think of it EVERYTHING is still growing! My feet, my hands, and everything in between. We are almost there though and this little girl inside my tummy will be here soon enough! This picture was taken at 35 weeks so it is the most recent one I have. She is still kicking tons and definitely is a tough one! I am just glad that she kicks kind of softly at night again so I can sleep. It has been a relatively rough weekend though so it is a good thing it will not last much longer. (oh, I did a half mile again! I have not been able to do that for a while but I got it in this morning)

Good Times at Manor

It was definitely nice to spend some time at the cabin again. When Eric found out that we were going up and that he was actually going to be able to play around on the snowmobiles I couldn't get him to quit smiling. He kept reminding me all week that we were going up. I have to admit that although it was nice to catch up on sleep (which I do quite well at the cabin) I was definitely jealous that Marianne got to go with the boys. I guess there is always next year. It will be fun to have a little one up with us next year.

Manti Baby Shower

Right before the shower I snagged Eric for a quick picture since we have not done one together showing off the belly for a while if at all. He was smart enough to run away to a hunting show with my brother Colvin and my brother-in-law Derek. Eric actually won a monocular there.

So Brenna and mom wrote a really cute poem about a mother's tattoos and it almost made both of us cry while she was readying it to me. After she read the poem though everyone got to put a tattoo on my big belly! It was kinda fun. Little Austin was concerned for a while though. He was quite curious as to what everyone was doing to his Aunt Hanna!

This is a picture of my crazy mama and one of the many blankets that she made. Her and Brenna both have been way too busy making blankets. This little girl will probably have a blanket to match every outfit.

What a pile. Half way through the present opening I still have quite a stack to go through. Is there any doubt that this little one will be spoiled? My family is just having way to much fun with their first little girl!

What a busy day it was! Our loot filled up the trunk of our car and our entire back seat! Woo Hoo we made off like bandits!

2 Years

I am sure this will just show you how much we are still newly-weds but Eric and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary last night. Two years ago was when Eric planted his first kiss on my lips (yes on our first date). What a stud I married! We celebrated by going to Olive Garden for dinner and then went to the dollar theatre to watch "I am Legend". It was a pretty good show but I got kinda scared. It is a good thing I have such a tough guy for a husband. Happy Two Years Babe! Love you!

Heck Yeah!!!!!

I went to the doctor this morning for another prego check up. I am incredibly proud to say that since my last appointment 3 weeks ago I have not gained any weight! Yay for me!! Eric also found out this morning after swimming that he is down 5 pounds! Way to go babe!!!!!

News Flash

I was informed last night that I am slacking again in the whole blogging thing so here is a new update.

I am officially 33 weeks pregnant today and I am definitely HUGE. I am constantly shocked when people tell me that I do not look big enough to be as far along as I am and I seriously want to ask them when they last got their eyes checked. I don't have ankles. I can no longer find my feet (since I can't see them and there is no division between my calf and my big toe) so putting on shoes creates a problem. Every time I stand up I have to pee even if I literally just got off the toilet. I swear there really is nothing left in my bladder half the time. You will all be proud to know that I really have not pottied my pants yet (knock on wood). My wedding ring no longer even fits to my knuckle and it is depressing to say that I wore Eric's around the house the other night and it did NOT fall off. It is even hard to fit on the big fake Wal-Mart one sometimes. My hands are constantly going numb as well as my bum and legs.

Rylyn continues to kick like crazy and I think she has found her new favorite position. Curled up in a ball on my right hip between my hip and rib cage. Not the most comfortable for me at work of course but there really is not much I can do about it. She really is tons of fun though. I just can't wait until Eric can actually carry her around for a change. She feels much heavier now that she is dropping a little bit.

Eric successfully caught some one's cold bug and was miserable for a couple days. Don't worry, we got him all drugged up and he is feeling much better now. Even my sniffles are starting to go away.

Sleep no longer happens for either one of us since I am totally uncomfortable and make sure he knows it (and he was sick). Hopefully now that he is better I can cuddle with him again and maybe, possibly get some sleep.

This picture is from 4 weeks ago so I need a more recent one but honestly the only thing that has changed is that I am a little bigger. Tons of fun though.

Who is Eric?

I stole this from Rachelle but I liked it so I am going to use it.

This is a survey all about husbands, so I thought it would be fun to go through.

What is his name? Eric
How long did you date? About 3 months before we were engaged
How old is he? 23 he will be 24 in OctoberWho eats more? Uhh...well usually Eric but it depends on what we are eating
Who said I Love you first? I am sure it was me but he did once we were actually dating
Who is taller? He is by about 1 inch
Who sings better? I love when Eric sings especially in Spanish but in many ways he sings like my father. No offense babe or dad
Who is smarter? School smarts or religious smarts definitely Eric but when it comes to kids and stuff I would have to say me. He just doesn’t have a lot of experience yet
Who does the laundry? Both of us. I do most of it now that we have a washer and dryer but Eric is quick to help if I ask
Who pays the bills? Me. Eric may not think so but I do
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well that depends. Right now Eric does but we switch depending on what side of the bed the door is. I have to be closest to the door (especially cause that means I am closer to the bathroom).
Who mows the lawn? Luckily we don't have a lawn to mow but Eric used to mow his parents so I am sure it will be him when we have our own lawn, not that I can’t of course!
Who cooks dinner? Wait, people cook? J/K I am trying to get better about that but usually we do it together
Who drives? Eric does almost always.
Who is more stubborn? Me
Who kissed who first? Eric did which really surprised me but he was just too cute to smack and I definitely liked it.
Who asked who out first? This is debatable. I think Eric was the one to say lets hang out but I had to ask for his number to actually make it happen so I guess it was a joint effort.
Who proposed? Eric did
Who is more sensitive? Eric
Who has more siblings? I do, I have 5 well 6 including Tempy, Eric has 3.
Who wears the pants? That is definitely debatable. I like to think I do but since Eric is so blasted spoiled and gets whatever he wants I have to admit that he probably does.
