"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

32 Weeks...

AND COUNTING!....

*Your baby's the size of a squash!
Still growing, your baby weighs in at about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds and measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches.*
And oh man can i feel it, he seriously has no room in there poor kid. If I bend over or sit he starts to stretch and push to get more room!
He moves so much, they say "your baby is sleeping about 90-95% of the day" NO HE IS NOT...he probably sleeps like 65-70% of the day, but he sleeps really well all night so i hope thats something that he keeps when he is born!!
Yesterday I had BH contraction all day long one after another and through the night, even though they hurt I'm happy to know my body is getting read for the final leg of this baby growing race.

At my last Doc Apt my blood platelets where low and so i have to get those checked each month or every few weeks now just to be safe. I have gained 13 lbs so far and they say i should gain about 1 lb per week now until he is born.

Iam getting so excited for this little one to get here, im glad I'm finally starting to get that feeling since mostly during this pregnancy I have just been stress about a 3rd baby coming since we decided to wait and take care of other things first and then we got a HUGE SURPRISE that we were expecting #3.
His room is almost done...well not done but its being put together finally, Nick installed the closet, put together the new crib, i painted the dresser and changing table, made pillow covers to match his room and ordered all the rest of the baby things we had to get. Seeing his new little car seat sitting in his room and the crib really has made us realize there IS in fact a new baby coming to our house and SOON!

Its fun that I have 4 other friends who we are all with in 10 weeks of each other having our little babies together!!

Im so happy that i have been waking up feeling good finally, I would have to admit that my pregnancies are fairly easy and i shouldn't ever complain...I have not ever gotten Gestational diabetes, never been throwing up sick all through out the day and night only got that first thing in the morning, I have uncomplicated pregnancy (minus kaylin's, he was one we had to watch every week), I can pretty much eat anything with out getting sick, and i have a good amount of energy for the most part, now there are days i just feel like crap and i hurt yes but its not everyday and I'm thankful for that.

Nick said I'm getting whiny about all the pains and movement and discomforts but hey, its the least he can do to have to listen to me since I AM the one caring the baby and doing all the hard parts, his job was a cake walk compared to the job I have had to do. lol!

We are still trying to figure out his name, BOYS ARE HARD, at least for us they are. We have a few we like but are not set on any of them yet...kaylin LOVES the name Kyro and when i told him i wasnt sure about that name he ran off to his room crying because he said he wants to name the baby lol...sorry kaylin boy but your chance to name your own baby will come. Since nick and I both like names that are really different and uncommon it even harder to come up with something that we have not herd and then making it have to start with a K is even more crazy hard...so far we have come up with a few: Khairo, khailo, kaj, kierce....I love the name Khai...but nick doesnt want it to just be khai so we are trying to come up with a name that we can shorten to khai as well. Khailo is in the lead i think so far, i like it cause nick is the one that came up with it and its nice that he got to choose one of our kids names without me saying it first, kaylin and kiptin i am the one that came up with those. His middle name is also hard cause nick wants it to be some thing that is meaning full in our family's but we have already used all the important ones up, kiptin (poor kid) took two of those names because we were SURE that we were not going to have any more boys...so kiptin has two middle names...again sooo sorry kiptin dont know what we were thinking!

The other night I was lying in bed staring at the treadmill and that feeling of running came back to me...i cant wait to start running again...walking at 2 mph on the treadmill is just no fun at all, if i go any faster i start having lots of pains and contraction :(
I really hope in the next 5 to 6 weeks this little one will finally get sick of having no room and want to come out like his brother did...I have never been pregnant over 38 weeks, kiptin came right on 38 weeks so i hope hope hope this one is the same, my doc thinks between 37 and 38 he will come!

here are pictures of my 31 and 32 weeks...they dont really look any different to me so thats why im slacking on the picture taking!!




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.
