23, 24 and 25 weeks!!!

So I got a little behind and my Mom is texting me telling me I need to update this thing! Sorry Mom! Week 23 I was in Utah!!! I had so much fun at my baby showers! Friday, the 9th, Michelle, her mom and her sisters threw me a shower for all of my close friends! We had YUMMY soup and salad and they made me a really cute diaper cake!!! Thanks SO MUCH to my second family! I LOVED IT! Saturday, the 10th, My mom, Nick's mom and my sister threw me a shower for my family and family friends! I was astounded by the amount of people that came to support Nick and I and our little family!! We feel SO lucky to have SO MANY great family friends and great support from our families! We had a lot of family drive a long way to come and I am SO grateful for everyone that came!! Thanks Mom, Kathy, Morgan, Riley and Kim for putting everything together for me!! It was so nice to see all of my friends and family and baby got lots of goodies!!  It was a quick trip, but I'm so grateful that I got to go and I'm SO GRATEFUL for Kim driving with me! On the way down we spent the night at one of her friends house in Cedar City and then we stayed at my parents for two nights and drove all the way home on Sunday.  I am SO GRATEFUL to her for going with me because without her (and her suburban) I wouldn't have gotten all of baby girl's stuff home! THANKS KIM!!!

25 weeks! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Can't believe its already here! This was my first Thanksgiving away from home and family.  It was really hard but I only shed a few tears.  We are so lucky to have the friends here in Blythe that we do! We went over to Kim and Jon's and had a SUPER yummy, HUGE, meal!! I was in charge of the green bean casserole and I helped with the rolls and biscuits.... kinda. Kim is trying to teach me to make bread.. Its kinda hard! Some other friends came over and we had a really good time!! I'm SO glad we have them because without them I would have been really miserable.  K-Mart was having their black friday sale Thanksgiving night, which I think is RIDICULOUS, but for the first time I went to a black friday sale! I only spent $20 but holy moly.... People are CRAZY! Kim had her list of things she wanted and it was fun to go along for the ride!!

22 Weeks!

I'm a little late on posting for this week.  I went back to work at the salon and I haven't just been sitting around doin nothing! lol!  I am really enjoying being back at the salon! I love the people in Quartszite!  They are all 'Old' snowbirds and just so fun to visit with! I also get to do lots of perms, which I enjoy, so it's working out great!  I had my monthly appointment on Halloween! I was SO happy to go an hear the baby's heartbeat! Doctor said everything looks good so far. I go in for another ultrasound on the 29th of Nov. and I get to do the lovely glucose test :/ The nurse told me I had to do it this coming week and I was stressing because I'm going to be in Utah!!!!! YAY!! and I did NOT want to have to drive all the way down to Yuma again, just for this test. The doctor came in and asked if the nurse had told me about the glucose test and I said yes, with a little worry in my voice, and he looked and me and said, (knowing I live an hour and a half from the office)  "Do me a favor. Just do it on your next appointment. There is no reason for you to have to drive all the way down here just for that."  I have the BEST doctor EVER!!! He assured me that it didn't need to be done right away and I would be fine to wait until I was down there again! He is SO considerate, I just love him!!
Halloween night, we got dressed up and went with our friends and their kids trick or treating! Roxy and I were dressed as fairies and Nick was some scary guy with a scary mask! We had fun going around their neighborhood and then we went to our wards "trunk or treat".  It was a lot different than any other trunk or treat I've been to.  Everyone sat in a BIG circle on lawn chairs and all the kids walked around and got candy.  It was different but HOLY COW did they get A LOT of candy!
I am heading to Utah this week for my baby showers and I CAN'T WAIT! This will be the last time I will be in utah without a baby..... CRAZY!!
