the little things...

So at 32 weeks...

I constantly have heart burn. Every time I try to lay down, it starts coming up my throat. I've propped my pillow up under several pillows and I have Tums every night before I go to bed, but sometimes it doesn't even help. And sometimes it happens even when I'm sitting!...

Hunter is constantly kicking! I feel his little nudges (or BIG nudges) all day long. He gets the hiccups at least twice a day, if not more. It is REALLY REALLY REALLY annoying because it is usually when I'm trying to sleep!

Any kind of salad makes me sick after wards. However, I crave fruit all the time! Apples, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, cantelope, etc... it all sounds so good! I also crave potatoes and meat. A good home cooked meal always sounds good to me... and I LOVE milk! I have to get the lactose-free kind, but it is wayyy better than rice/soy milk and it's been so nice being able to drink it! yummm...

After religiously putting on shea-butter cream and vitamin E oil everyday this whole pregnancy, I still got stretch marks. They showed up last Sunday. I was really depressed the whole day and didn't get out of bed. How the heck did that happen! That was one thing I tried really hard to prevent. It really makes me mad. I guess it doesn't matter what you do, it all depends on genetics. Stupid genetics... any good remedies to make them go away?

I have found out that pools are amazing. We got 7Peaks season passes. I love to go and just sit in the shallow end of the wave pool. The sunshine is so nice and being in the water makes me feel so weightless! It is definitly one good perk of having a summer baby... maybe the only one LOL...

I love air conditioning! I don't know what I'd do without it!... I still get bad hot flashes a few times a day. My skin feels like its on fire, I feel light headed, and I feel like I'm going to throw up. The only thing that helps is laying down in my air conditioned apartment. so nice!...

SO besides hot flashes, stretch marks, baby hiccups, and heartburn, this pregnancy is going great! haha

32 weeks...

Well, we only have 8 more weeks to go!

Everything has been gong good. All the Dr appointments have been fine. I don't think I have anymore ultrasounds though...

We finally god our cute stroller/car seat/carrier set from Target! It's light green with multi-color polka dots. I absolutely love it!

I have been so busy with my BYU spring class that it's been a little hard finding the time to get everything together. But, my final is this Wednesday, and then I'll have a ton of time to do stuff! Like sew the bedding, finish reupholstering the glider, pack for the hospital, wash all the baby clothes, put the crib together, etc...
Davin started working his third job a couple weeks ago. It's with Omniture. It has been such a blessing! They have been wonderful to him... It has been pretty crazy though. I barely get to see him except for a couple nights a week, if he's not sleeping, and on the weekends. However, I feel so lucky to have such an amazing husband. I'm glad I found someone who is willing to work hard to provide for our family... (Part of the reason he's working three jobs is to save up for his Hayabusa motorcycle LOL)... but I'd like to think the real reason he's doing it is for me and Hunter.
