He's Coming

Well at my last doctors appointment yesterday everything looked great. I am measuring 38", 2cm, 80% effaced, and his head is way down. The doctor said the baby could possibly come this week but we just have to wait and see. Since the baby is now full term there should not be any premature problems, yeah!! To be on the safe side I am staying in Tremonton so that I can be closer to the hospital.

Right now I am still trying to figure out what I still need to buy. There are so much stuff I am afraid I am forgetting something important. Well we will find out soon enough.

What to do?

So I thought that I would enjoy all the free time I have before the baby comes; but I am so bored!!! I can only handle so much TV, Internet, and reading every day. So if any of you have any great suggestions for me that would be great. You just need to keep in mind that we have no income right now and I am living at the in-laws in Pleasant Grove oh and I am 34 weeks pregnant. That can really narrow things down.

Anyway I want to make sure everyone knows about my little nephew Jonah. Right now him and his family need your prayers. There is a link to his site on the right side of my blog under family and friends blogs. Right now Zeke (our unborn child) weighs more than he does and he is 2 months old. Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Same old Same old

Well I think we have finally figured out what we are doing for living arrangements. We will be living in Pleasant Grove with Matt's parents while Matt is student teaching in SLC. The SLC house we were planning on living in just didn't work out like we hoped.

Matt is enjoying teaching and being in the school. He has taken over one subject and soon will be a few more to that. He is always coming home with stories of his students. It is good to see him enjoying this so much.

I am still having contractions but I am getting used to them. My next doctors appointment is this tues so we will see how things are going. Other then that nothing new really happening. Just waiting for Zeke's arrival.

Oh, my family is having a baby shower for me Nov. 8 if you are interested. I will try and get a copy of the invitation to put on here. If you have any ?s let me know.

Moving

So tomorrow is the big day. It feels weird that it is already here. The big question is will we be ready to move??? And as of now I cannot give a definite answer. lol. We have most things packed but there is still more. And also we need to figure out what goes to the storage unit and what needs to stay out.

So our living arrangements are still kinda up in the air. We are hoping that by the end of next week we can move into Matt's parent's rental house. But we are still waiting for the previous occupant to vacate. So until we can settle in there were will be at the parents' homes. Matt starts student teaching on Monday at JMS, but since it is UEA next week he will only be there for three days. Then he has to come take his last test here on campus!!! All that should be left is the months of student teaching.

Everyone keeps asking about the contractions and how I am doing. Well, they are still pretty regular but the doctors don't seemed to concerned right now. I think part of it is that I am switching doctors. Since my old doctor is not getting the money for the birth of the baby he really isn't interested in dealing with me now. But that is ok I have an appointment next Tuesday with my new doctor. So we will see how things are then.

Most of the time I am doing just fine just tired of and my stomach is sore from all the contrations and the continual growth of Zeke. He is starting to really develope his muscles. All along the top of my stomach feels brused inside from his kicking. I am starting to understand the pregnaunt waddle, I keep catching myself doing it and just have to laugh at myself. Also I never knew how good ice chips were till recently. That is my favorite thing to snack on right now. The biggest problem is that we do not have any ice trays so I only get it when we go to a resturaunt or if Brittzy brings me some from here house.

So that is what a contration is!

Well Last night I learned what a contraction felt like. I started noticing them about 7:30 as I was driving home. First I had a sharp pain in the top of my tummy. By the time I got home (3-5 min later) I noticed that the contraction we really contractions. At first I just thought it was the baby pushing out hard but after some advise from Morgan I figured it out. After 15-20 min of contractions every 5 min I called the hospital. I was told to wait 30 min more. If it was still happening to come in.

So Matt and I stayed in the hospital last night. At first they were coming pretty regularly and I was starting to dilate. They were able to stop the contractions and get everything stable. I got home about 10:30 this morning and have slept most of the day. My doctor recommended that I not go back to work till at least on Monday. This will hopefully give me some time to get in some much needed rest.

But since we are moving next week that means there is a lot of packing still needing to get done. I had already started but now I worrying about all that is left. There are some RS sisters coming over to help tomorrow hopefully this will help things out.

Also to top it all off it looks like Matt is coming down with something. I think the stress of the cont rations and the stress from trying to finish up school so he can start student teaching early is no help to the matter.

FROM 3 TO 1

Well as most everyone knows I am now the only pregnant sister in the family. I am feeling a little left out but I am glad Zeke is waiting till closer to his due date. Three months seems like a long time, I don't know how much more my stomach can grow. I already feel like I am ready to burst. Today, a patient at worked told me I looked ready to pop, she was surprised I still had 3 months left.

Well so far here is kind of what we have learned about the baby. Zeke is a very active boy. He enjoys kicking his mother in the ribs, stretching out as far as he can, oh and don't forget using her bladder as a trampoline. Sometimes he pushes himself out enough you can see the outline of his little body, its cool but not so comfortable for me. He has a big appetite and lets mom know when it is time to eat. He doesn't enjoy sharing his space with anyone or anything. If something is sitting on my stomach he hits or kicks at it like the dog, Guinea pig, or even dad.

Matt right now is going to school 2 times a week and working 2-3 times a week. He is keeping busy especially with all of the homework the professors tend to dump on him. Recently it was made official that Matt will be teaching in SLC starting in Oct and in Austin, TX starting in January. We are pretty excited to start our adventure of moving and moving and moving hopefully being able to stay in the last place at least a few years.

My life right now is pretty much sleep, eat, and work. I have about 3 weeks left at my job til we move. It is exciting not to have to go to work everyday, but I don't know how I will fill my time now. Maybe I will have to try and make something for the baby, lol, that make take more then just 2 months.

Royal Tobbious the Great

Here is our newest addition to the Family. His name is Tobby, he is a black toy schnauzer and about 4 months old. Right now he is living at my parents house since the land lords said we couldn't have him in the apartment. But someday we will all live in the same house.

He is so far a very good dog. We took him outside and he stays right with you unless there is another animal close by, but he comes right back when you call his name. He is a cuddle bunny too. He loves to snuggle up and chill with you and doesn't lick faces.

When we first got him he really didn't understand how to play with humans. But by the end of 3-4 days he started to play fetch with us. Playing with other animals is another matter. When his cousins Reese, Jaxston, and rusty came over he had a good time being chased and chasing the big dogs. He even tries to paly with the cats and kittens. They just don't seem very interested. The kittens i think scared him with all there hissing.

Well right now my mom is falling in love with Toby, she says if and when we take him away she is going to have to get one for herself. He is a very sweet dog. I look forward to the day that we can live under the same roof.
