I Phone Pics Dump

ULTRASOUND PICS

I had an Ultrasound the other day as I have been having a lot of contractions, and lower back cramping. The doctor wanted to be safe and make sure I was not going into pre-term labor. My mind was put at ease and everything looked great, just have been put on light activity until I am closer to my due date. It was fun seeing the baby at 30 weeks and how even more defined his/her features where. The only thing I have found hard about not finding out, is I find you do have a little bit harder of a time connecting to the baby, as you always call it, it or him/her, it is hard to pick out a definite name or rub your belly and call him or her buy it, however the Ultrasound really got me super excited about this little one, and helped me connect better to it, as he/she was blowing kisses at me, waving at me and I really saw the heartbeat. It was a really awesome experience and although the contractions have sucked I am so grateful I got to have this experience. It was also comforting to here that the cysts on the baby's brain had disappeared, that has been on my thoughts since the 20 week ultrasound. So I am not going to post all the pics as I have lots of family in the medical field and don't want them trying to see if they can tell what it is but just a few of my favorite of its upper extremities.

The Scale Don't Matter

This last Tuesday I was at one of my Vemma Brand Partners house. We were there weighing and measuring 18 girls and guys for the Chris Powell Vemma Bode 12 week challenge. One of the last people we measured came in and in my head I said "holy cow this women is ripped and in amazing shape, good for her to do the weight loss challenge, but really she does not need to." She told me her height of 5'10" so I assumed she would be a little higher on that scale with all that muscle and height, I was thinking maybe 148 at the most. She stepped on the scale and Breanne read me out the # of 177lbs. My jaw almost dropped and really showed me that that scale don't matter, to toss it out and just go off how I feel, how I look, and how the clothes fit. It was even more reassuring when she took her top off so we could do before and after pics and she had a crazy awesome 6 pack. 

10 WEEKS or LESS!!!

This is the hope. I know I went overdue with Macie, and the chances are high of me going over again however I am hoping all these Braxton hicks, lower back pain, and cramping will lead to a 37 week delivery and no later then 40. 

Still don't have any huge desires to write about this pregnancy but for memory sake I will write a bit. 

The Braxton hicks are daily

I can't go for even a 30 minute walk without having back pain later on that night.

Thankfully my appetite has slow down a bit and I am not hungry 24/7.

Gained more weight then I wanted but still not hating the scale. 

My feet have grown to a size 7 1/2, use to be a 6.5 to 7. 

Bending over is crazy hard

Feel the baby kick on an hourly bases. He/she is already destroying my ribs, Macie didn't start that till week 35. Which terrifies me that I am going to have a 10lber.

Still have no idea what the sex is and am done guessing, I am really excited for the surprise in the delivery room. 

That's about all, for the babies sake I will try and do one more pregnancy post, but can't wait to get this little cutie out of me and start blogging about my little sweetie.

So here's the best way to have fun on a windy day. Make your iPhone switch to the front and let her rip. 

Love her smile

Lately we have been working with Macie on smiling for the camera. We will smile really big and say cheese hugely over exaggerating it. She had done it back for us a couple times but the other day in the car she was going big with her smiles and I luckily had my phone with me to take a quick pic. It ended up being so cute and is now one of my favourite pics of Macie.  The best part is her shirt says "Good things come to those who smile."

Order me up a tall glass of milk!!!

I could have three huge glasses everyday. Milk and pizza have been my two huge cravings with this pregnancy

CANADA DAY!!!!

What to say, it was hot hot hot. We started the day bright and early outside in our yard and set up the swimming pool. It was probably 30 degrees by 10:00. After a good 2 hours of playing outside Macie had a snack and then went down for a nap. We then headed to Bud Miller Park for there Canada Day events. Free bounce houses, live bands, playing at the park and of course lots of puppies to pet.  We then walked home and headed to DQ to cool off with lemonade slushies and ice cream. We decided that Macie was to tired and grumpy to go back for the fireworks so we headed home and put her to bed. Somehow Macie knew something exciting was happening that night and she would not fall asleep, I don't think the heat helped, so we got dressed and headed back to bud miller were we meet up with the Isackson's, Jeannotte's, and franklins. There we hung out and waited for the fireworks show. Once again Lloydminster impressed us with a great display. Macie thought they were awesome as well and said wow every time they went off.
