29 WEEKS ALMOST!!

So I am not enjoying posting this picture because I hate it but for memory sake and because people keep asking here is a picture.

Seriously though do you ever look at a picture of yourself and say is that honestly what I look like. Then sometimes you say wow is that really how I look why can we look so good in one picture and then terrible in the next. The new hair do honestly looks better then this, just was having a bad morning.

MIDNIGHT SNACK!!

Last night for some weird reason my body was craving fat, fat and more fat. So what did I have in my fridge that would fill those cravings.

Perogies and Onions

Bacon

Chesse and Miracle whip butter mixture



Low and behold what does that make a very unhealthy fatty delicious midnight snack

TIRED TIRED TIRED!!!

So it is time for a little complaining. I have been so blessed with this little miracle and this pregnancy has been pretty darn amazing. No morning sickness, no acne, I have been able to exercise starting at 13 weeks and am still going strong, my skin and hair has felt amazing. I have not been craving crazy unhealthy food and have not had that crazy huge truck driver appetite that others talk about, so my weight gain has been reasonable and right where I want it to be. But man I do not sleep good at night, which totally sucks because if baby is not a good sleeper it is going to get even worse. I was totally preparing myself for no sleep around Dec 14th, but I never thought my pregnancy would be this way. In the past 28 weeks and 2 days I have maybe had 3 good nights of sleep. The first trimester was getting up every 3 hours to pee and being worried all the time about losing this baby. Then second trimester and third trimester has just been not being able to get comfortable and fall into a deep sleep. I am use to not being an amazing sleeper but night after night after night of not getting any kind of deep sleep is so warring on my body, mind and energy. I guess the body is just preparing for baby to come and no sleep. If anybody has any tips PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fill me in. The best sleeps I get are if I go for a long hard walk, have a bath and then head straight to bed, but it is hard to get that in every night with having a busy life. So I have about 11 weeks and 5 days to try and get some good night sleeps in. Wish me Luck!!!

IT'S COMING TOGETHER!!

Well I am not totally done yet but the nursery is definitely coming. I love love love the pictures I got from etsy and the floating book shelf from Hope Depot, thanks to Royall for the idea of stacking one above the other. I ordered my Owl bookends, and blocks with her name on it the other day and can't wait to get them in, plus a couple missing books from my disney book collection. All I need now our curtains, a quilt and an idea for my one big blank wall. Any suggestions give please.

KICKIN AND DANCIN!!!

Macie was being pretty quit all day and not kicking a whole lot, but on the way home from work the song "Tonight's gonna be a good night" came on by the Black Eyed Peas. I turned the sound up a little and started bobbin my head a bit to the beat when all of a sudden she started going crazy. Just a kickin and a dancin. I think she might be trying to tell me she wants to be a dancer when she grows up. I guess I know what to do in the future is she is being quit and worrying me that something is wrong.

BANANA BREAD BITES!!!

Today Mark and I did some shopping at wal-mart when we found these cute tin's for mini cakes. We have had very little success with our Banana Bread in the past it never quit cooks all the way threw, so we thought maybe going with smaller tins would help. This tin was perfect because it was little but you could do 12 mini cakes all at once, or for us 12 mini banana bread bites. So we made some up when we got home and they are delicious. I think they would be perfect for Visiting Teaching gifts in the future.

MELISSA AND DOUG

Last weekend I bought some fun puzzles for Macie to play with, I thought they were adorable and when I got home I looked through the website which was a big no no. If I had money to just throw around I probably could have spend over $1000.00 on the toys they make. So if anyone was thinking of getting a baby gift for Macie (not that I expect anything from anyone) but if you were I would love anything from this website, especially some of these ones I posted.

H2O+Cat= PAIN

JOKES
I am please to announce that I am scratch free!!!
Today Cobalt jumped upon my lap and was trying to be all cute, But all I could smell was nastiness.
So I decided that it was time after 6 years to have a bath.
I did not know how she would react, and to my surprise she handled it quite well. She did do some weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, which noise caused molly to come check in on us, but I was very impressed with our cat..

The picture of the hand is some random picture on the internet, but the one below is kind of funny and now she smells so much better.

SECOND TRIMESTER!!!

As I am nearing the end of my second trimester just wanted to make some quick notes and reminders of all the things I loved and disliked about the second trimester.

Loves/Likes:

-Feeling Baby kick everyday
-Mark Feeling the baby kick
-Being able to exercise.
-Finding out we are having a girl
-Starting to buy stuff (I got all of my Etsy purchases in finally and can't wait to put them up)
-Feeling great about 95% of the time, I get a little icky her and there but can't complain so far this pregnancy has been pretty easy, a little stressful but pretty easy.
- Watching my belly grow.
-Being able to eat what I want no more aversions to fruit and vegetables.
- Having my first real craving today of pizza pretzels (did not get to have it but will probably go buy one tomorrow to satisfy that craving)
-Deciding on a name for baby (Macie Ryan Hunsperger)
-Loving people telling me how cute I look, even though I don't feel very cute and I think I look huge, I truly love it and get a huge smile on my face when someone says oh Kalinda look at how cute you are.
- Being at the stage of viability if I went in to early labor, she would be tiny but has a 90% chance of making it.
- knowing that in 3 months and 4 days I am done work for a whole entire year
- My complexion
-My hair

dislike:
-watching my legs, face and but grow
-still being scared of something going wrong
-wishing I got those huge cravings that pregnant women talk about where they have to have a certain thing right then and there, just want to know what that feels like.
-back pain, has not been to bad but every now and then it acts up on me.
-deciding how much money do I really need to spent on baby, what is to much and what is not enough.

BRANCH CAMP OUT!!!!

This weekend we had our 3rd annual branch camp out. It was a very small turn out but an absolute blast. We headed out Friday evening to Dilberry Lake and arrived around 7:30 getting our tent and supplies set up then mixed and mingled with friends. Around 9:30 we had a fireside that Mark prepared and did a fabulous job talking on how we need to soar like Eagles instead of perch like Parrots. Then Brother Jensen got a fabulous game of Big Booty going and was the event of the evening with Micah Jensen coming in as the victor. After visiting and some smores eating we headed off to bed. Mark and I got to try out our brand new sleeping bags we got for our future camping trips with our kids, and I must say they were worth every penny. So warm and pretty cozy. Mark was sweet enough to let his prego wife sleep on the cot well he slept on this tiny air mattress. I think I got the best sleep I have ever gotten when camping. We woke up Saturday morning and had a joint pancake breakfast with everybody there, with sausages and eggs. So yummy. It was so nice out Saturday morning that we decided to head down to the lake at 10:00 and stayed until lunch time. Mark missed out on the morning beach activities as he brought the Quad and headed to Ribstone to tear it up. He got back at lunch time for some delicious sandwiches, veggies and cherries. The afternoon was planned for a baseball game but it was so gloriously hot everybody voted on going to the beach again and playing ultimate frisbee in the water. When we got there it ended up turning into the funnest game of pig in the middle frisbee ever. I played for a good 20 minutes but once people started jumping on others and dunking them to try and get the frisbee I knew it was time for me to opt out and let everybody have there fun. They probably played for another good hour and had a blast. We had to be out of our campsites by 2:00 so after the game we headed back to camp and left for our short 1 1/2 hour ride home. Mark and I decided to make a pit stop in Chauvin for some junk food and to get pictures of the world's largest softball. We got home around 4:00 and by 5:00 our heads hit the pillows and had a three hour nap. This was probably one of my funnest weekends of my summer and so glad we went, we got to know some new couples in our branch better and had a blast every minute.
