Addresses

If you would like a Christmas card this year (that is if I get around to it) I will need your address. If you know I do not have it- maybe you have moved, or if I've never sent you anything in the mail before.. then give it to me! Please e-mail it to me at Sarahthy5@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Little Runner

So, behind our back yard there is a beautiful trail and field of grass. Livs and I went out the other evening to run and play back there. Olivia LOOOVES to run. She ran down the little hills in the grass over and over again. She could run forever! It is so fun to watch her run and play!

The comment I hear the MOST about my belly : " You're so tiny!" The above picture is to show you why they may say such things... but then I turn to show the side view... and BOOM! Theres a belly!

So, we are just about a month and a half away from the due date now. It has gone by so fast! So far the pregnancy has been pretty much just like it was with Olivia, except I haven't gained as much weight (yet). With Liv I gained 25 lbs total, and with this one I am only up to 10 lbs now. I suppose I could gain 15 lbs in a month, but it's not likey ;) Oh- and no, I do not TRY to diet or not gain weight, I guess I am just lucky like that- I've always just stuck to the same diet I always eat..
The scariest thing of this pregnancy was that I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I ended up at the hospital doing a loooong 4 hour test and having my blood drawn over and over and over again. It turned out, I DIDN'T have it and the Dr's office was wrong. Lucky for me,or else I would have probably been losing weight and going crazy on that diet. I did a diabetic diet for about 4 days when I didn't know my test results from the hospital. It was a hard diet to stick to (although probably much easier for me since I was doing it for the baby). I really feel bad for diabetics. It's not just that you can't eat sugar, you don't get to eat hardly any carbs either. Sad... Who wants to eat meat all day every day!?
Well, in the past 3 days I have been feeling huge... not so much when I look in the mirror, but I FEEL huge. I feel like I can't grow anymore. I could swear I am dialting and the baby is coming tomorrow... but probably not ;) I am guessing this baby will be early though- I just have so many weird pains that is making me think I will go early. Livie was a week early... but I think this one will be like 2 weeks early. I guess we'll have to wait and see! I have a Dr's visit in 1 week and I am excited to see if I have dialted or if I've just been dreaming these pains!

So- we moved... We moved about 40 minutes North of where we were to be closer to Brett's work and for future jobs if needed. It some what stinks for MY job- seeing that now I am 40 minutes away- but I only work on Saturdays- so, it's alright! I work at a salon as a hair-dresser in case anyone didn't know. I've been at this salon for just over 3 years now and I really love it there. Everyone asks if I will keep working after the next baby and moving... I can't decide. We'll wait and see! There are many pros and cons... so, it's a hard decision. Anyway- we love our new house. There are many little fix it projects that come with any house, but so far so good! The floor plan is SOO much nicer then our old house. We REALLY miss our old neighborhood- I don't think any could compare... but we'll adjust! Even Olivia talks frequently about missing her friends and such. It's hard to move... but really it's been pretty good so far. No new friends yet, but that will take awhile!

Halleluja!

We FINALLY have internet after a very long wait! It was killing me! So- here are the latest pics of Olivia- since I know my mom would want these first. I have other posts to make but no time right now. We are off to the temple tonight and I still need to shower and get dressed! So- more later!

Olivia the giraffe! She had a lot of fun with the Eldredges on Halloween this year.

Playing with all the baby stuff that has come out of storage! Olivia loves putting her babies and stuffed animals in the bouncy chair and the swing!

Olivia wearing a baby bunting that was in storage! It never did fit as a baby!

We don't have internet at the new house, which is why there are no new posts! Sorry! I am at work, and have someone coming in in just a minute (busy busy..) but I thought I'd explain why I haven't posted! Hopefully next week we will get ineternet! Pictures of the house and belly soon to come!
