Love Being Pregnant...But...

So, I couldn't ask for a better pregnancy so far. I really consider this a perfect pregnancy, but its starting to get a little harder. I know I know...I am sure everyone is laughing at me right now, but I am just at the point of feeling uncomfortable and achy all the time. On Monday Nov 16 I had the "pleasure" of having my first Braxton Hicks Contractions. I wasn't in pain, but it was def. uncomfortable. I have to say, it was so funny to tell Josh these things because he freaks out!! I can't wait until I actually go into labor..just so I can hear his voice and see his face as he freaks out about it. When I told him that I thought I was having braxton hicks contractions..this was the text I got back(he was at work)....What do we do...Are you ok...Do we need to go to the hospital...should we call the doctor?? hahaha! I love my husband so much. I really think this is going to be harder on him than it will be me (not pain wise though)! We had a doctors appt on Thursday and everything is going great! I have been feeling some pressure down low quite a bit, but the doc doesn't seem to be worried..so I'm not either! Couldn't ask for more!!

So Happy For Josh

Good news last night! We got a letter in the mail saying that Josh was accepted into the graduate program!! We are so excited for him and very relieved to get the wonderful news! I am so proud of him!!

House Update!

So, we decided to stop by the land today and guess what!! We got to drive on "our" road!!! Who knew driving on a road would be so exciting..haha, but it was for us! We decided to get out and take some pictures. They are suppose to start building our house this week, so we are just hoping the weather will help us out!


Our Lot!!!!


Josh and Reggie standing where our house will be in hopefully a few short months!! Reggie just had to mark his territory!!

Great News=Great Week

Well, we had a pretty exciting week last week!! We found out that they are ready to start building houses!! They are pulling our permit and should be starting any time now. Lets just hope weather and everything else cooperates. We are very excited and they say it SHOULD be done before Miss Kali gets here, but there is always a chance it won't, but that is okay because we are so blessed already that we can deal with the apartment a little longer. I am getting things ready for her to come and can't wait for the day!

That brings me to the second part of the good news. We went to the doctor on Nov 5th and everything is going great! My doc couldn't be more proud of how things are going! It makes me feel so good that she is happy with everything. This has been such a good pregnancy! Everything has gone great except for the kidney stone I had a while back, but no biggie. Her heartbeat has dropped which is expected since she is getting bigger, but hopefully not to big :) I have not hardly gained any weight with this pregnancy which my doc is so pleased with...as am I!! And the biggest news is that I went in for my glucose test on Oct 29th and got the results back and it came back just fine! That took so much stress off my shoulders!! No 3 hour test!!!!!

Then on Nov 7th, Joshs Fam had a baby shower for me! It was sooo much fun! I hate having the attention on me, so it was awkward at first, but once it got going, we all had a blast! They came up with some of the cutest games ever and I got so many cute things from them and friends! I also got sooo much advice, which is going to help out so much..probably more than the gifts will! I am so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family who cares so much about me. Kali is going to be one lucky little girl to have so much love around her.

This has nothing to do with last week, but will make this week amazing! Blake will be leaving for Ukraine tomorrow. I can't believe it has already been 12 weeks! He has grown so much already! The most exciting part, is that we will be able to talk to him tomorrow!! I can not wait!!

I will have to get some photos put on here of the land and the baby shower!
