home.

the new house.

we finally found a house.

we don't close until the 19th, but things are moving along. we can't wait to move in and get going. the house was forclosed and has been vacant for about a year. the yard is in pretty bad shape since no one has been taking care of it, but that's the beautiful part about moving in in november. i don't even have to worry about it until spring. the inside is actually in pretty good shape despite the terrible paint job and dirty carpet. i'll be sure to post some before and after pictures. we will most likely be spending thanksgiving painting, getting new carpet and cleaning. we are so excited to finally have somewhere to live and a room for baby k to come home to. we love it!

28 weeks

28 down, 12 to go

don't tell me i don't look pregnant. i get that at work all the time. she is just hiding well. i can't decide if she's just going to be small or maybe she just sitting in my back more?

...baby k update...

baby k and i passed the gestational diabetes screen, woohoo! it really wasn't that bad. so far things are on track and, according to my weekly emails, she weighs about 2 1/4 pounds and is about 14.8 inches long.

maternity pants are just gross, i hate them. i finally broke down and bought some for work a few weeks ago. the ones i got are too big, but i was afraid the smaller size would get to small. my mom bought me some maternity jeans she's been dying for me to wear. i finally wore them last week and they were the most uncomfortable things ever. i'll stick to my regular jeans for now, thank you.

we started going to a 3rd trimester class at the hospital. i think its pretty fun, but i like to learn about stuff like that. jd on the other hand looked pretty horrified at the first birth film we watched. i can't blame him though, the lady did not help the process look any prettier.

i think baby k is going to be pretty mellow. she is pretty quiet in there. she seems to be just chilling out and relaxing in there. what else does she have to do? she doesn't get all crazy moving around (most of the time) and she just makes little movements here and there. she is also stubborn. she will not cooperate with ultrasounds or when i try and make her move. whenever someone wants to feel her, she won't move...at all.

she finally has a crib. it's currently still in the box, but at least it's in the same state. she also has her very own room now (more to come...) and a dresser ready to paint.

we are getting so excited to finally see her and i am dying to know what she looks like!

i {heart} fall

i {heart} fall. it's probably my favorite season. it always makes me think of new york...my favorite place to be in the fall. something feels so nostalgic about new york in the fall. i'm dying to be there right now. since that's not in the plans...

we went for a drive yesterday to check out the fall leaves. we must have waited a little too long for farmington canyon. this is the best i got. most of the trees were bare already. and a drive up the canyon turned out NOT to be a good idea when you have a cold. my poor head felt like it was going to explode from the pressure. at leas it was a beautiful day!

i hoped main street in farmington would be a little more colorful. maybe next week.

100 days

100 days until baby k is here. wow. that's just over 3 more months. where has the time gone? i have so much stuff to do still. i'm pretty sure this girl is set on clothes...not that that stops me from buying them. there's not a whole lot more i can do right now without a room to decorate, a crib that's in san antonio, and not being able to organize anything.

i still want to find a dresser for her and paint it green to match a cute nightsand i bought for her. i need a crib that is NOT in san antonio. i need to figure out what bedding i want to put in her room. oh, and find a house so she actually has a room. then i need to paint. and i cannot wait to organize her stuff. i LOVE organizing. i love to look at her clothes in the closet before i go to bed too.

baby k is moving like crazy these days. jd felt her for the first time last saturday. i had been trying to get him to feel her for weeks, but it's so hard to know when she's going to move because it's been so sporadic. last saturday night she was moving like crazy and i could tell where she was at. luckily she moved because jd is not very patient to wait for her to move. he's been feeling her move all this week too. and my mom was able to feel her move the other night. so, as far as i can tell she is doing good. i have my glucose test next week so wish me luck!

baby k is making herself a little more evident these days so i guess i better post an updated picture. stay tuned!
