Moments of Happy

Today some one teased me because I got really excited about the new Mystery flavor of Stride gum. I like it when little things excite me because it makes my day better. A few small things that make me happy:

Getting a cream soda Dum Dum after my doctors appointments
Root beer
Buying healthy food
Actually making something that tastes good with the healthy food
Wearing flip flops for the fist time of the season
Twin Pops popsicles
When the baby gets hiccups
Getting my contacts in quickly
When Single Ladies comes on and I get to do the dance
Putting clean sheets on the bed
Eric's pink cheeks when he's sleeping
Finding an unexpected dollar
When Lily finds a bug to chase

What small things make you happy? :)

Excuse me..... those aren't mine...


And these are my swollen feet. I wish I could hide them in shoes... but they won't fit.
Cute nail polish though huh?

7 Months

We went to another doctor's appointment today so that must mean it's time to blog again! It's been a pretty fun month really. We went camping and spent time with family and registered. Which, for me anyway, feels like shopping for free.

We went camping with Jenn, Lance and Bentley. It was really fun to hang out and chat. It was a bit crazy for me as sleeping on the ground is rather difficult at the moment. The first night I slept amazingly well since we got there so late but as soon as I rolled onto my side the second night I realized my hips and shoulders were bruised so the second night wasn't so amazing but the food was good! Eric loves to use the dutch oven. I would rather just use our camp stove but I won't deny him the pleasure of using his manly out door skills... even if I'm the one that gets to clean up after him...

Friday night Eric and I watched Beauty and the Beast and Eric and Mae had their first bonding experience. Eric was lying on my tummy and pushing on Mae and bit and she ended up kicking or punching him 3 times right in the cheek super fast. They were the strongest movements he's felt so far! He sat up (a bit weirded out I think) and then proceeded to play a game which mostly consisted of pushing or yelling into my tummy till she responded to him. It was really fun to watch him be excited about her and I'm so happy to be starting a family with Eric. He's going to be a great daddy.

It's finally warming up outside! I'm sure I won't like it so much when I'm really hot but at least I don't have to try to find a coat that will still fit. I don't know what women where in the winter when they are 7 months pregnant.

The doctor's appointment was pretty standard. Asked me if I had questions, she measured my weight, tummy, and blood pressure and then we heard the heart beat. I guess the message got lost some how but because my placenta was low lying at the 20 week appointment I was supposed to have an other ultrasound this time but that didn't happen so we'll be doing that in 3 weeks. I'm excited to see if I can tell that she's grown since we last saw her. :)

Last weekend I went to the Timpanogos hospital for my Rho-GAM shot and to get my glucose tested. We got to see the delivery room and such. That was pretty cool and a bit scary to see where I would actually be meeting Mae. There were lots of tubes and wires in there...

We've been gaining baby stuff very slowly but I thought I would post some pictures of the cute stuff we have.


Some clothes and odds and ends... So cute. :)


Baby changer (FREE!) and bassinet ($30 at garage sale!)

Big thanks to all who've contributed to Mae's wardrobe and to my sister Kim for finding the matching stroller, car seat and bassinet at a garage sale for a killer deal!
And to Daddy for picking up the changing table for me.
And to Lily for the safety inspection.
