Kids can say the funniest things at the wrong time

So we went to Utah this last week to visit family and have Josh talk with some people. While being pregnant and traveling isn't always the most fun thing to do with an overactive bladder it helps to have a two-year old with you to make you laugh. We had stopped at a gas station so that I could use the restroom and stretch my legs. I decided to take Ashlyn into the restroom with me so she could get out of the car for a minute. While in there another lady came in and in the most polite words passed gas in the stall next to us. The next thing I heard was Ashlyn saying in a very loud voice, "Eww...stinky!" While saying this she was scrunching her nose and waving her hand. It was so hard not to burst out laughing. I definitely made sure that we waited to leave the restroom until the other lady had left. I love this little girl and how she can make me laugh at unexpectedly.

Fun Pics

I sure love this little girl!



34 weeks and still standing, barely. Hoping the next 3-6 weeks will go by fast. I may be up to 150 lbs but I've only gained 23 lbs so far with this pregnancy. With Ashlyn I gained 45 lbs. Hopefully though I don't continue to gain 2 lbs a week like I did this last week or I'll be in trouble.






I think daddy-daughter dates will definitely include this type of activity. She was so fascintated with the fish even though they were already dead. Definitely not surprised that she wanted to hold it. We just took her to Cabella a few days ago and she was fascinated with a huge catfish. I should have taken a picture.



So anyone who knows Ashlyn knows that she loves cows. Sometime we are going to have to take her up to Josh's aunt and uncle's place so she can see them up close and maybe even get to sit on one, instead of sitting on this tiny thing.




Ashlyn was in our closet and found one of Josh's name tags from when he was at basic. I had to laugh when she came downstairs and I saw where she put it.

Thankful for Answers

We had our ob appointment today and it was great to have our provider explain why I've been having so much pelvic pain and pressure. The hormone relaxin helps a woman's body widen in the pelvis area and sometimes if a woman produces too much it can widen too fast which can cause a lot of pain in the pelvic and groin areas. That is what is happening with me as well as our little girl is already head down and sitting right where all the pain is. The only way to make it go away is to simply deliver the baby. The downside is that the pain will continue to increase as the baby continues to grow. Even though there isn't anything they can do to help me relieve the pain it's nice to know what's going on. Baby's growing right on schedule and has a strong heartbeat which we are thankful for. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy seems to have gone for the most part. It's so fun to think that she could be here in as little at 7 weeks and as much as 9 weeks. I can't wait to see what she looks like and to discover all the similarities and differences between her and Ashlyn. The goal between now and my next appointment is to continue to increase my red meats and greens to help bring up my iron levels and to finish going through some of the play things that were given to us and get them all cleaned up.
