Every time I finally getting around to updating this thing it feels as though an eon has passed, and looking back I vaguely remember all the things that our family has experienced. I'll try and be more on top of this.
My last appointment was good. I haven't gained any more weight which is exactly what I wanted to hear, although she did say -again- that she was looking 4 weeks further along then she should be. I don't believe it though, she said that last night and maybe she just keeps feeling that way because underneath all of this my abs from swimming are made of steel. So I'm not worried about it. We have breast feeding classes to attend mid April and then birthing classes begin the first of May. We probably should have tried to do the birthing classes sooner but here's the story:
We wanted to just watch the DVD's that they provide so I went in, paid around $30 to rent them for a weeks and settled in with Cristian to watch them. Totally unhelpful as they all just referenced what went on in the class.. which was not what we were looking for obviously. So we got it refunded and now the only upcoming classes are in May. Probably should have organized this sooner but we can't be the first pregnant couple to be a little scatterbrained about everything-especially considering this is our first.
Anyways. I think she's coming early May so hopefully we've learned something by then :D
I'm afraid how I'll feel once she's here. I like feeling her move around in my stomach and it's always a wild experience for Cristian when he feels her kick and dance about to. Not ready to be a parent, but I am ready to feel more comfortable in my body and have full mobility. There are lots of things to look forward to.
Cristian's still plugging away at work. It's not a hard job but there are a lot of hard things he has to deal with while there. I'm so appreciative of his hard work and I hope sometime in the future I can pick up a job for awhile to ease the pressure a little bit. The weather has been getting warmer and warmer and I'm longing for camp outs and cook outs, hiking and biking, running and swimming, playing in the dams and getting shakes down at Bear Lake. But I think mostly this summer is going to be spent at home trying to get into a routine with my daughter and working on getting back in shape-while Cristian works most of the day. I'm okay with it.
The transitions we've had to make have been a challenge and this one coming up will be no different.

quick update and pics
It feels as though it's been a very long time since I've updated this thing. A lot has happened and our family has gone through some changes. Things are going very well with my pregnancy, my next appointment is this coming Thursday, and I think we're both getting better sleeps because.. drum roll please... we finally got a frame for our bed!
It feels so good to not have to HEAVE myself out of it and I think it's been a bit easier on him as well. I'm finally starting to warm up, which I think is a relief for him since I've had the heater on full blast since we moved into that place. :D
Pretty ironic right. I start to warm up.. just as it's starting to warm up. Thank goodness I won't be caring her through the dead heat of a Utah summers. May is fast approaching and though I don't feel ready to be a mom, I DO feel ready to have this little one out of my body! I'm so uncomfortable!
Cristian's still doing well at work, and what a man, he fixed our car this week when the radiator decided to crack and made my birthday a good time. March 16th. It was wonderful. We went down to Ogden, it was all sunny and such, got some lunch from the Burger Bar which is one of our favorite places, did some shopping, then had a nice evening at home. Part of my present is still to come-tickets to Hunger Games this weekend and I'm very excited! Hopefully it's awesome. And Talisa and I are planning on going to the Festival of Colors early Saturday.
As far as changes, Cristian's birth father came into town to meet him for the first time since he was about 13 years old. It was a little rough on both of us but I think in the end we're both glad we spent a little bit of time with him and that's that.

perfect and perseverance
The appointment with my doctor about Violet went well. I can't believe I was able to keep down that disgusting orange drink but somehow I did. My blood work came back normal and it was a sweeping relief to learn that I don't have that odd pregnancy diabetes that some people get. They did an ultrasound for Violet and she is exactly the size she should be and everything looks perfect. They moved her due date up a few days so instead of May 24th we're looking closer to May 19th. Not much of a difference but whatever. I'm just glad that everything looks good.
She said I weigh a few lbs more than I should so I have those things to work on these next 2 and 1/2 months, and I'd probably better start taking some of the birthing classes just so I'm not totally lost when my water decides to break. I kind of have a feeling she's coming a bit early. Closer to the beginning of May then the end. Guess we'll see though right?
We took some 3D pics and she looks SO MUCH LIKE CRISTIAN. That's normally how it goes though, the child looks like the father for the first little while so that's kinda fun. I don't know if he likes that much but I sure do! She's gonna be a cutie :D
It feels good to be slowly working off our debts, we took care of 2 other things on our list the last 2 weeks and I'm starting to feel a little better about everything. Still have a ways to go but it feels good being able to check things off.
Still haven't gotten a frame for our bed, and we need to get his tools out of his parents locked storage unit before someone sells the things in there are auction. And I'm kinda getting frustrated with the situation. Mostly because my body has been getting more and more sore from having our bed low to the ground.
Cristian's doing well at work, not that the situation has changed much. His boss is still kind of an idiot and some of the things they ask him to do or that he has to deal with are a little ridiculous but I'm proud of him keeping his head down and pushing through it. We'll move one day and he'll be able to do what he actually wants to do but until then we both need to be patient.
My birthday is coming up-I'd really like to go see Hunger Games which will make it a little belated but who cares right? It should be good. And the weather is getting warmer and warmer which is very exciting to me! I'm ready to get some sun!!
All in all things are going well.
Cheers to that.
