Quite a Scare!!!
Yesterday evening Jamison gave Josh and I the biggest scare yet of my life! So i was at work doing my usual thing and walking back to my desk from cleaning the back printer room, as i was walking to my desk i felt as though i had wet my pants.... i was like what the heck is that?!?!?!? so i went to the bath room and it wasnt urine. This freaked the crap out of me so i called Josh and told him what happened, he told me to call my doctor, i thought for sure my water had broken! so i called my doctor and he told me i needed to get to the labor and delivery and they will do some tests to find out what is going on.
I was so scared out of my mind! i was shaking driving to the hospital, i know i joke about i want to have the kid now but i was in shock and i changed my mind i wanted him to stay where he was! so i got there and they hooked me up the heart monitor for Jamison and the contraction monitor for me just to see if i was having more then braxton hicks. the nurse then came in and did a bunch of test to see if it truely was my water breaking.
3 hours later come to find out it was not my water and it was just extra fluid being released... they dont know what caused it or why it happened but needless to say i was more then relieved it was not my water!
So we came home and i went straight to bed i was so exhausted from the whole thing! i have never been so nervous in my life! i got a preview a little bit what it might be like when it really happens! but let me tell you for now i am just happy to still have a healthy little boy growing inside of me rather then a 7 week early premie!

32 weeks
So last week we made the trek up to rexburg to visit friends and family for the easter weekend, we had a wonderful time hanging out and enjoying other peoples company! Luckily my dad was up in rexburg picking up my sister from college so i was able to spend time with my dad and sister as well! so it was a double treat for me! Easter was fun we got to see family and watch the little ones do a easter egg hunt! i couldnt help but think that next year Jamison might be old enough to do a mini one of that lol... that is if he is walking and if not he and i can watch the older kids! it is so weird thinking that these traditions and what not that the family has we will actually be really involved with now that we will have Jamison!
So i have a little less then 8 weeks left until Jamison is scheduled to make is earthly debut! but let me tell you i am praying every night that he comes early! lol well the biggest reason is when we were at dad's house for easter weekend i was really itchy and i figured it was just from the 6 dogs that were there, but when we came home i was only getting worse! i had what looks like bug bites on me and i itch on my legs, arms, tummy, lower back and butt. Well it turns out i have something called PUPP it is a skin rash that makes you severely itch and i mean severely!!! it is like having poison ivy!!! the worse part is the doctors dont know what causes it and there is nothing they can give me to take to get rid of it, the only thing that gets rid of it is to have the baby!! so needless to say i am itching to get him out... no pun intended! lol
Anyways i came along these cartoons and i totally thought these are exactly how i am feeling right now!! lol so enjoy!

30 weeks and counting!!!
So from my last post this week has been hard for me! Wednesday night i was having alot of pain where my stomach and lungs are now compacted at... i just figured it was because i ate too much and i wasnt digesting it fast enough. so i wen to bed and prayed the pain would go away by morning, well every-time i would move at night it would shoot pain from the bottom of my uterus through the middle of me and into my chest area. i just tried to sleep it off and in the morning it wasn't gone. i drove to work and the ride to work was horrible every movement shot pain, so i called my sister in law terressa at 9 am hoping she would be up... but of course she is with 4 little ones i dont know why i worried! lol so i talked to her and she talked me into calling my doctor just in case to see what was wrong, so i called the doctors office and i got the on call nurse, who by the way scared the crap out of me!!!, she asked if i had my gallbladder... and i was like yeah. and she was like well it could be a stomach ulcer, in my mind i about freak out! so i am crying because i could have a stomach ulcer and who knows what else could be wrong with me or heaven forbid the baby!!! so she told me to rest and see if the pain goes away. I went home from work and called Dr. Carole (my dad's girlfriend) who i swear knows everything medical! lol and she said it is not a stomach ulcer and probably just the baby is laying funny and pinching a nerve, so i did my best to calm myself and relax hoping the pain would go away with the easiest movement of the baby.
Long story short, he moved and the pain went away.... thank heavens!!! so it has been a hard week this week, i hve had to let myself rely on Josh so much more, i have never had to depend on someone so much for the little things like helping me up from the couch or lifting something that i could have done easily a coupe of weeks ago. This pregnancy has been an extremely humbling experience!!! it has allowed me to truly appreciate everything Josh does for me and it has shown me how much he truly loves me and cares for me!
it is unbelievable that in less then 10 weeks we will meet our little guy and i am so blessed that he is coming into a family where both sides are so supportive and would do anything at a drop of a hat for us! i think lately i have been really down and pessimistic at everything but today i have i guess realized all the blessings i have in my life and instead of thinking how much this sucks and how many things i cant do anymore i am thinking of all the things that the Lord has blessed me with to help me through it all. like the kind strangers who go out of their way to open doors for me in Wal Mart or the kind gentleman at Maceys who helped me load my groceries and took care of my cart for me, or just the sweet text messages randomly during the day for my amazing husband just to say i love you. i am truly blessed around every corner the Lord shows me how much he loves me and my family. so thanks everyone for putting up with my ranting and my shortness lately, i am sorry for it and i am back to myself again lol
so here is Jamison at 30 weeks and 6 days measuring early... i mean can you tell??? lol

I am ready to be done!
Is it horrible of me to want to have the baby now??? so like it just hit me today that i am ready to have this pregnancy be over with. I have loved it up until today, my stomach is as hard as a soccerball and so uncomfortable!! and not to mention that i am so hungry and i can only eat like 2 bites before i get heartburn and i pee all the freaking time. i know i am complaining and i should stop and be blessed to be able to carry him in me for 10 more weeks but i have no desire to continue! it is like i am running a 5 mile race and i am over 3/4ths done but my legs are so tired i want to give up! lol
so if you women know anything that will get my spirits up and rejuvenate me to continue that would be great! lol i mean i found this picture of my body before and durning pregnancy... let me tell you i am feeling the effects finally!
oh and we went to the doctor on Monday and everything is going great, the doctor told me i am measuring about 2 weeks early.so that is exciting!!! so when we go back in a couple weeks if i am still measuring early then they will do an ultrasound the see if it is just me or if the babyis truely two weeks ahead of schedule! so fingers crossed he is ahead of schedule!!!

A little late update!
So things have been really busy in our life lately and so sadly we have not been able to blog. The only new stuff going on in our life other then work and getting ready for the baby is that we reoganized the house. i am really excited about it because we have an actual nursery! so i am so excited to decorate little Jamison's room and get everything set up for him!
so on the baby news, i have to take the hour glucose test on monday, i am so really excited about it because i cant have anything with sugar before the test and my appt is at 1:30 so i have to eat crappy food till then lol and then i have to drink this gross drink an hour before my test and then get blood drawn... not my favorite thing ever! Jamison has been moving like crazy!!! i swear the kid never stops moving! i just get where he is moving to or where my organs are going! lol i am getting quite uncomfortable at night time... i mean i am exhausted but can never get comfty!!! it is a sad thing for me because i love to sleep and it will never be the same!!! lol
as for my belly it is getting too big!!! lol i am running into things all the time and i think more of my food ends up on my belly then in it! lol all my clothes are getting shorter and shorter hahaha even my maternity clothes that i thought would work great dont so well anymore! but i must say it is so exciting to be able to look down and see my belly pop randomly with every kick it makes me smile!
Since it has been really nice outside lately, Josh and I ahve been playing tennis with Jill and Dave again!!! man i missed playing tennis! but it is not the same as last summer! i am pretty much stationary in the middle of the court and josh does alot of the running to get the ball! but it is still fun!
and speaking of Josh... he has been so freaking amazing throughout this whole pregnancy!!! i couldnt have asked for a better husband!!! he is always doing things for me and helping out in ways that i use to never need his help for! like getting up off the couch or he helps roll me out of bed! i really dont think i could have ever done this without him! he is going to be an amazing father and i am getting so excited and anxious for Jamison to meet his daddy and for us to be a family!
so here is a picture of my belly 2 weeks ago... i have grown since... lol but i figured i would give a bit of an update!

What Happens in VEGAS!
So this past weekend Josh and I were able to scoot down to Vegas and see my aunt JoJo and my cousin Jon. It was so fun! We were able to spend quality time and just enjoy each other and laugh ALOT! It makes me so happy to see how well Josh blends into my family! it is crazy how Jon and Josh together act as though they have been friends forever!
We had been talking about going down to vegas for a bit but it was for sure a last minute decision to go visit. We got up at 5am on Saturday and drove the 5 and half hours to vegas to see them! i called my aunt when we were close and she couldnt believe we were so close! she hadnt even gotten dressed! lol so saturday was pretty chill since we did just drive all morning. We went to a buffet of course!! and man they are so good!! Josh was in heaven with the all you can eat shrimp and crab legs! and afterwards we went home and played around as usual!
Sunday morning we got up and i made cinamon rolls and eggs for breakfast and then we were off to walk the strip! the doctor says i need to walk and Josh had never been down there. so we walked from 11am to 4pm!!! i couldnt believe it! we ran into some funny things and laughed so hard at the silly things you will only see in vegas!! like the huge ball necklace that was as big as my baby! lol
i was so excited to take JoJo and Josh to my favorite place in vegas which is the rainforest cafe! it is so cool all the animals move and it looks liek you are in a real rainforest! and every 20 minutes there is a thunderstorm and the lights flicker like lighting and it thunders!!! i love it!!! not to mention the food is really good! lol
But of the whole time the craziest thing we saw was a construction accident!!! we were walking the strip and they are putting in a new casino and what not on there and so they had a section where they were working blocked off so we had to cross the street, as we got on the other side we were watching them lift up a flight of stairs with a crane.... needless to say they didnt bolt the stairs and they went vertical and slid out of the harness and onto a walkway and offices where the construction workers were!!! luckily no one was hurt! and it was crazy to see!!! if they hadnt have blocked off that section of sidewalk we woudl have been right next to it when it happened! so needless to say we thought it was pretty interesting!
so enjoy these pictures!
