"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

29/ 30 weeks....

The end is nearing, thankfully, I think. Iam a mess everyday now it seems like, with being so so so worn out and tired after the simplest tasks. By 4pm I am so done and just want it to be bed time. I cant sleep very well most nights with all the tossing and turning and bathroom trips I have to do. Bending over is a funny site Iam sure :) and getting up, well thats just ridiculous!!!
Mostly I feel good other then the tired but I am sure having two other BOYS to chase around all day doesnt help in that area. I still take my zofran in the mornings but I am able to only take just a sliver of one and it works great and during the day time and night I have never really been sick...just mornings thankfully!
We are getting closer I think to a name for this little guy, I am sure it wont be set in stone til we have him in our arms but at least we are finding some that we both like. He moves SO SO SO much, he is wild crazy child in there and nick says "seriously its like you have an alien taking over your body" well i kinda do...i have NO control over what is happening in there :)
We had another ultra sound to make sure he was still on track with growth, I was excited to get another chance to "maybe" see him and get a glance at what he looked like or what little features he had and who he looked more like....BUT NO..this little stink does NOT want to show us A THING about him, we still have no idea what he looks like not even a profile picture because he turns away EVERY SINGLE time, I guess it will just be a complete surprise when he is born cause we seriously know nothing of what he looks like, we could never get any 3D pictures of him cause he never would give us a 2D picture that would work in the 3D...that has been a bummer but i'm so excited to see him and it is A LITTLE bit fun that he will be a complete surprise!!
For the past few months I haven't felt like i was growing too much in size but i think my belly is now starting to pop out and look way more pregnant. I had my apt a few days ago and I still measure 4 weeks smaller then I am but He is measuring right on actually a few days bigger now then my due date. I have only gained 10 lbs so far but i'm sure the last 10 lbs or so will come in these next 8 weeks.
I have LOVED having my cheddar cheese ball with wheat thins and can seriously do major damage to that ball but its soooo yummy and a must have at all times in my house, that's really the only thing i have been craving...oh and ORANGES...I LOVE ME SOME ORANGES...i can eat those all day long..nick goes and buys them from the "orange man" and wow yummy.
With the last two pregnancies with the boys i was ALWAYS so hot, i never could cool off, i even froze nick out most nights and that's REALLY hard to do...but this time I am ALWAYS FREEZING...nick really wishes it was like the last two times and has been waiting for that to kick in but I tell him I think this time around he is out of luck and Im happy I can just add warm clothes instead of having to lay around in almost nothing because I was just dying of heat.

I have been working (finally) on his room, got it painted and i repainted the changing table and redid a dresser, I LOVE how they turned out, it made it more exciting for me this week to see those sitting in his room now, yesterday nick installed his closet so I can now wash all the clothes and hang those up, and that's always fun to see those cute TINY little clothes and most of them are from when kaylin was just born and remember how tiny he was and looking at him now is just crazy and they have so many memories in them that i just love looking at them!!

I'm excited to finish up his room and to get these next few weeks in the past and meet him and hold him. I'am praying for another birth like i had with kiptin..it was so amazing and such a great experience for nick and i both, so im praying all goes well and its just awesome like last time!

Here's to the next 8 or 9 weeks or maybe less!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
