waiting

I am supposed to check into the hospital in two and a half hours. 3am. I still havent gone to sleep. I figured I would be like this. This is a typical night. I cant sleep at a normal time. I cant wait til I can take soemthing to sleep. Its a genetic thing. I hope none of my kids deal with it. My sister jamie has problems and so does my mom and my grandma did too. I know that both Colby parents have sleep issues too. It sucks.
 Anyway. Right now im feeling like time isnt going fast enough. Im excited and super nervous to meet my new daughter! I am nervous aspen is going to wonder where i am after a day or so. i didnt finish the swaddling blanket. I could do that right now but i probably wont. I hope labor is easy and my epidural works. I got a priesthood blessing from colby tonight that everything will be good and I can be strong and the drs will know what to do and it will be good. I have high hopes. Im excited to see who the baby looks like. Im curious how the name will work out. We keep deciding on names and then it gets changed by one of us. Maybe we will feel inspired. I ate alot of food tonight in attempts to have alot of energy today and tomorrow. They usually dont let you eat incase you have to get a c section. I was so hungry last time I gave birth. Meal of choice was chick fila chicken nuggets waffle frys lemonade and coleslaw.

thoughts

This pregnancy has made me soooo tired. Maybe its because I have to somewhere everyday. I dont know but I am super tired and cant wait until the kids fall asleep to yake a nap in the middle of  day. The nap doesnt always help though. Alot of times I go in and out of sleep and still not feell well rested.
 My heartburn is horrible. I still have no water weight which is crazy!

baby shower

I had a total surprise baby shower thrown by my sisters Jamie and Sommer. my sister in laws and mother in law came. i seriously was so surprised! It was a fun small get together and I got much needed diapers and some cute outfits, kids wellness EO, books and blankets. We enjoyed the yummy food and Aspen loved the attention!

heartburn

I feel like I have the worst heartburn ever. I almost always have it and it hurts so bad. I eat an average of 15-20 tums aday trying to get rid of it.

moving along

I was on my way home from the OBs office after getting an ultra sound to check status on baby. I was turning left into my moms neighborhood and the light turned red and a guy hit my truck. Huge wave of anxiety. I  was scared for my baby, for my health and for my truck. The guy who hit me was really angry and started yelling at me that I swerved into him or something. Anyway no one got a ticket because neither of us could prove at fault. The cop had the fire department come check me out because I am almost 31 weeks along. I had good blood pressure but just an elevated pulse. He told me to go get checked by my dr which my dr told me to go to triage at the hospital if I got cramping or bleeding or didnt feel the baby moving anymore. I made sure I paid special attention to the movement and everything else with the baby. I think the little jolt woke her up. I was only going about 5 mph but ever since then she has been swimming and having a heyday inside. Im almost positive I saw a foot pushing this morning. When I had my ultrasound I found out the baby is down like ready to come out but she is transverse which means facing sideways...hmmm when have I heard that before? Good thing I am having a c-section.

what a day!

Yesterday i went to my dr to get an ultrasound to see how the baby is progressing. They thought at my last check up she was measuring a little small and wanted everything to be checked out just to make sure. Although I did wait in the office longer than I wanted to because the tech was way behind and it just kept making me more nervous the ultra sound was fine. She is measuring on the 44% for her gestation age right on target and her head is a week ahead of the rest which means she will have a nice cute big head like aspen and dad. Im excited to see who see looks like because her ultrasound didnt really look like Aspen and I was for sure they would be looking alot alike. Right now she is measuring 3lbs 7 ounces.
