 38 Weeks

The baby is the size of a winter melon. Who legit knows what that is?

He is for sure a boy, still nameless, last ultrasound estimated he was around 6 lbs in the 60%

All the aches and pains I'm having are very normal except this shooting leg pain I'm having. Randomly my leg will just GIVE OUT. Completely dead leg. It doesn't even feel connected to pregnancy, it's like in the center of my leg and happens randomly. It was amusing at first but now it's annoying. I'm sure the baby is just pushing on a nerve that turns my leg off or something. It's so bizarre and something I've never experienced for.

I started this pregnancy with a higher weight than I would have liked to have but right now I'm at a 16.5lbs gain which is good. I haven't gained any weight, an actually lost some since because diagnosed with GD. So that's what happens when you cut out sugar and deny a pregnant women of all cravings. I'm so ready to be done with GD. It's so annoying to not be able to eat what you want or when. I would love to just eat a bowl of cereal or drink a glass of orange juice without being controlled by numbers or what time it is. Grab a granola bar for a snack and I am so done with salads for or with every meal. If I had to do this longer I probably would opt for insulin but it seemed pointless when I was barely diagnosed with only 8 weeks left.

Brooks seems genuinely excited to have another baby, I think that this is going to rock Carson's world though. He is very attached to mom and surprises me often so I think it could go one way, but honestly Carson is a wildcard, who knows what's going to happen.

I've generally been sleep well, as long as my kids do but this week I've been extra tired, more heartburn than usual and feeling a little bit crampy every now and then. I can't tell if baby has dropped yet, I look at myself everyday, it's hard to see or feel a change. My ribs don't hurt AS much but they still hurt so maybe he's dropped a bit? There was one day this week especially where I just didn't have an appetite for anything. It was so strange. I don't know if these are early signs of labor or if I'm just getting my hopes up. I'd rather have labor start naturally than be induced but it's really not up to me! We will just have to wait and see.

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address...

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou...

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being...
