Updated Prego Pics. etc.

Here are the last few weeks of me and my "Baby Belly". I did miss a week though.


And here is week 35. I missed my week 34 sorry everyone.


Here is week 36.


This is this weeks, week 37.
I feel a lot bigger than I look in these pictures. LOL


John and I are taking this Lamaze class for free through our hospital out here, and I don't know if it has helped or made me more scared to have this baby. They go through and explain all the pain and show videos of some women in labor and giving birth. Yesterday when we went they went over the Epidural and showed a video of a girl receiving one. I couldn't even watch the video. I almost walked out till it was over because just listening to the video and the other students in the class reactions made it almost unbearable for me.

They also covered c-sections and showed a 3D demonstration of what they do and that really freaked me out because I watched that one. I don't know if I could do that??

The teacher also covered being induced and some of the problems that occur when you are induced, which didn't make me want to have to be induced. They told us that it can be more painful to get induced than it would be if you went into labor naturally. I sure hope I can get into labor naturally, even though if I do get induced I will still take the epidural which hopefully will take of the pain, even though I really don't want that HUGE needle stuck into me. :/


Sorry if I have freaked anyone out with this...

John is bored!

John took my camera one night and took a few random pictures of himself. I thought they were funny and I told him I would post them on the blog to let people see how bored he was. He didn't seem to care and told me to go for it so here they are...






I LOVE HIM!!!!

A New Update...

Okay where do I start...? It has been a month since I updated last and sadly enough I can't remember most of anything that has happened.
I guess I will start with posting some more pictures of my 'Baby Bump'. I am now starting to see a difference in the size of my belly. It is sad that it has taken me this long to notice such a drastic change, but I guess it is just like when you haven't seen someone in a long time and you tell them how much they have changed, but they don't see it and neither do those who are around them all the time.
Now that He is getting big and there is not as much room in my belly for him to move around I am starting to miss Him kicking. He does still move around, but just not as much as He use too.
:(

Me at week 30. 10 more to go!
Me at week 31.

Me again (haha). 32 weeks.

Here is week 33. I thought I might try a different picture this time.
In a few weeks I am going to have Morgan take some that will look a lot better than this. Plus I will be a bit bigger.

Here is some pictures that most of you will think are quit interesting and wont really understand unless I put an explanation here with them. So here goes an attempt to explain my purpose in posting these. Mostly I am proud of myself for such an accomplishment.
These pictures are to show that you can break bad habits. :) Ever since I can remember I have always bite off my finger nails. I couldn't stand them and they drove me crazy. It Drove my Dad crazy that I would bite them. Now I am to the point where I don't bite them anymore! Yay me!!

I know they aren't that long and you can't really see them all to well, but they are longer than they have ever been.
Sorry my blog is not all that entertaining and exciting. I just never know what to talk about.

I AM A TOTAL BLONDE....

Okay I just realized something today and it makes me feel really stupid. I am turning 23 this year and not 22. For some odd reason this whole past year I have been telling people that I am only 21. I don't know how I didn't realize this before. I just aged a whole year in one day it seems like. Totally crazy! The really sad part about it all is that my cousin Chris had to have his birthday before it hit me. I was trying to figure out how he was older than me when I KNEW for a fact that he wasn't. Then all the sudden it HIT me... I am 22, and I have been since August of 2008. Thank you Chris for having a birthday, haha.

It needed an update........

Okay I have decided I need to add something else to my blog... it is getting lonely. So here is some random pictures and a little update on how things are going.


Let me think... Well I have hit the 29 weeks mark today. I am getting closer and it is GOING by so fast. I really enjoy feeling my little baby kick me. Sometime it can get a bit annoying, like at night when I am trying to sleep, and the occational jabs to the ribs, bladder and kidneys. Ronnie really thinks it is KEWL when he gets to feel the baby kick. He always gets this shocked look on his face and says "I felt him!" I think Ronnie is really excited to have a new baby in the house, but whishes it was girl. He always is telling me he wants a sister, and I in return tell him that he has to talk to Mom and Dad about that but they are working on it.

The other day I was laying down on the couch and was watching my little one move and kick. It was really neat to see my Belly move UP and DOWN where he was pushing on me. He is quit the active little boy. John says that he is going to be a drummer since he kicks or pushes so hard.

Week 27 I think.... I missed a week and I cant remember which one it was.


Week 28. I don't see much of a difference. Can you??


These are from week 29, or Today. In this one I can see a bit of a difference.
Morgan takes a bit better pictures than John, but shhh... don't tell him that LOL.

John is doing well. He is stuggling with his work a little. This past week with our big Ice and Snow storm, (YAY FINALLY SNOW) he had to miss two days of work because we got stuck at home with NO cars. We had to leave his truck in Nixa, which is about 15 to 20 mins. away, because the roads were so bad he would have never made it home. Then on our way home in my car we got stuck in the ditch twice. The first time we got stuck a tow truck just happened to pass our way and was able to pull us out. He was nice enough to not charge us anything either. THANK YOU! The second time we just couldn't get out, so we ended up leaving my car there in the ditch till a good time that we could pull it out. As we started walking home we were picked up by one of our neighbors, and he was able to get us home. :)

So the next day we stayed at home all day. It was nice to have all that time together, but we are just NOT home bodies. We would rather be out doing something. The following day we were able to get out in the early afternoon, and went to get my car out of the ditch. John tried and tried, but without any luck, he just couldn't get it out. :( Thankfully the guy who lived in the house just across the street had a tractor and was nice enough to pull us out. :)

I am so greatful to the 3 men who helped us without us asking them to, or without anything in return. (We tried to give something in return and they all refused) They were all so willing to help and were a great answer to our prayers. I am very glad that there are people out there that will drop what they are doing just to help out someone who is in need. There needs to be more of them out there. I try to be that kindof person, but I know I need some work in that area.

John was finally able to get to work on Thursday of that week, but was sent home on a Decision Make Leave. Which basically is where his work decides that he needs to be disiplined for missing days at work. We were both so worried that they were just going to fire him, even though he was unable to make it into work due to the weather. The attendance policy at his work is VERY strict. Him being sent home instead of fired was a wonderful answer to our prayers. I know that without faith, he probably would have ended up getting fired.
(sorry I don't have any pictures to show on this topic.)

Now I am just going to put on some random pictures I took of Ryland and me today. I was bored and playing around with my Camera.


SAY CHEESE! I had the zoom like all the way out...


I am running away, haha, and
there is nothing you can do
about it. Thankfully he hasn't
quite mastered the door
opening.
I can't see which one of these pictures is which one.... One of them Ryland decided he wanted to try and grab the camera out of my hand and that is why he is infront of me. The other one is just one of the two of us that actually looked decent since I had the zoom all the way out on the first 5 or so...




Ryland LOVES to play PeekaBoo. I snapped
this picture just as he pulled his hands away
and makes his little BOO noise.
