A few days shy of 28 weeks

So im a little early posting this, it hasnt been quite four weeks yet (only two days shy) but i was bored and i had nothing else to do so i decided to blog. Alright lets get to it, I am now 28 weeks (in two more days) woo hoo third trimester! When i say third trimester it makes it sound like i only have a little time left till this nugget gets here but then i really think about it and it still feels like forever away. Im trying to enjoy the weeks i have left but sometimes i just get so bored and think "if my baby was here..." these past few weeks have kinda flown by, i cant believe its December already. Thanksgiving has already come and gone! But at least it was a nice one. this year at thanksgiving i didnt feel so guilty eating whatever i wanted cause i decided i can pretty much do that. it was pretty freaking nice, i had a full tummy all day long! Then of course we had to go black friday shopping. Me and my mom and two sisters got up early and left at five a.m. we didnt dare go to any "big" stores like walmart, or target cause thats where crazy people go but we did hit the mall, Krumpets and shoe carnival and got some pretty dang good deals! I was even able to get paxten a few little numbers while we were shopping around. He got a cute sweater, some jeans, a denim jacket and a hurley shirt and pants all for about $15-$20  (around there). i cant wait to dress that little man up! i didnt buy too much for myself except some yoga pants and a sweat suit. i dont want to buy too much while im getting bigger cause i will only be able to wear it for a little while. so needless to say the little munchkin got more than i did. but thats ok with me! other than that things have been quite like normal with work and everything so thats pretty much it! enjoy a few pictures i took this morning to share my views of the growing belly. (i swear i look bigger in person)

28 weeks

• sleeping is getting harder and harder (lots of tossing and turning)
• restless leg syndrome i swear i have it
• he loves to sit on my bladder i think, and kick it a lot
• he is a stubborn boy and wont move if you poke him (pretty much when your trying to get him to move for you he wont)
• Milk is my favorite drink these days 
• i hate to say this but i have gained freaking 20 lbs! lets hope i dont gain much more
• luckily my shirts, maxi skirts, leggings and yoga pants are still fitting but as for jeans there is no way those things are going on
• This kid likes to play a lot at night when its time for me to go to bed, in the day time i dont feel him move only but a few times
• Im getting more excited and more scared each day it gets closer

I am so Thankful

Since its the week of thanksgiving, i thought it would be proper for me to write a thankful post. I seriously have so much to be thankful for, especially within these past few months. Even though things haven't gone the way i would have ever imagined them, and have been more difficult than ever, i  have been able to realize a lot more how blessed i really am. so here we go!

• I am thankful for my loving and supporting family. My family has helped me so much this past little while with the trial i have. They have comforted me, given me the best advise and been by my side every step of the way (even though we are miles apart). My parents are awesome, im so glad they are still here in st. George cause if they weren't then id be in trouble and I am so lucky to have the sisters and brother that i do, they are the best ever i LOVE them all so much more than i could ever say.
• I am thankful for my heavenly father. Where would i be with out him. I am so thankful i am able to pray to get help and guidance. This would be so much more difficult if i didn't have the faith that i do, that he is there and he wants me to be happy. He has given me this trial to make me stronger. It has strengthened my testimony and has made me closer to him. 
• I am thankful for my two jobs. The jobs that i have are great. even though i don't make a TON i make enough to pay for the things i need and have enough left over to save. I am lucky to be able to have jobs where i like what i do. Nannying is the best. The kids are great, its not hard at all, the hours rock and the best thing is i am able to bring the baby with me when i have him. I was so scared i would have to have a baby sitter for him because i would have to work but now i don't  you have no idea how wonderful that is to me that i will get to be with my baby all day and take care of him!
• I am thankful for my little baby who isnt even born yet. I know it sounds cheesy but im so thankful that i get to be a mom to this little guy. Even though i do complain about certain parts of being pregnant, i am thankful i get to go through this experience. It is so incredible! I know things are going to get hard and stressful when he is finally around but it will all be worth it i know it will!

There are so many other things i have to be thankful for but those were the main things that were on my mind this morning. Life is great even when there is a bump in the road. i know ill get past the hard times and things will get better. 

"Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope."
--James E Faust

Thought id throw in a nice quote for you all to read , its not a thankful quote but i like it anyways.

Thats all for now thanks for reading.

This is me getting fat!!

Hello again dear people who read my blog.. its that time.. four weeks later at 24 weeks, and im now down to 4 more months left of waiting. Life is going on and im still doing the same old same old as usual. Halloween happened this last week and it was pretty nice .. i didnt want to sit at home and give candy out cause thats lame so i went out to dinner to samuri 21 and watched a movie then got ice cream it was good, lots better than sitting home and having to stand up and walk to the door continually. Now that Halloween is over im getting ready for the wonderful holidays and i have started another count down till my sister Danielle, Erik and their little baby maddyx come to visit from hawaii. (he will be here any day now). i love when my sisters come to visit we always have so much fun! my other sister kim is coming too but thats not till after Christmas so i cant be as excited yet. anyways other than that life is nice and content and im getting fatter thats all.

• taylor got to feel the baby move this week and he thought it was the coolest thing!

My little nugget

21 weeks and its finally here ..
This little nugget is a baby boy! I had a feeling it was a boy but i kept getting told other wise ...i knew my instinct was right...(i guess i had a fifty fifty chance)

Everyone meet Mr. Paxten Jett, is he a cutie! and already a thumb sucker. i love this little guy! But let me tell you ultra sounds arent as fun as you think i had to fill my bladder full of water and keep it full for about a half hour which is a long time to hold your pee and then they pushed on my bladder the whole time.. i though my pee was gonna shoot right out but it didnt and im glad its over and i know its a boy now!

me at 21 weeks

• outfits of choice, leggings, yoga pants, maxi skirts/dress
• still mexican, and now rice and potatoes too (salt!)
• I can feel the baby move all the time now
• i have to take all the girl things i bought back to the store.

I was bored

i just needed to right a post because i was bored... i have been really bored for the past few weeks and i just dont know what to do. after work im bored and the days i dont have work im bored but i still would rather be home than be at work.. because i just like the feeling where i dont have to be anywhere at any certain time and when im at work im even bored cause the kids are so easy to take care of and i dont know what to do .. anyways things that have gone on in the past little while since i posted last. first swiss days, i didnt like swiss days this year, it was hot and there wasnt even good food, texas twisters were 6 dollars a piece, and there wasnt really anything there i just had to buy so i only went to swiss days for about an hour. Second i have been applying for extra jobs so i can keep a little bit more busy and save up some money for this little nugget.  (only seasonal so when i have the baby i wont have to quit). and third i have been waiting and waiting to feel my baby but i just cant seem to feel it and i am almost 20 weeks. i will be on monday. so friday i called the doc and i kinda lied about a certain something and pretended like there was something wrong so i could go in and listen to the heart beat to make sure it was still alive in there. i know i worry too much but i just had to make sure. im glad i got reassured when i heard the little thing and everything sounded great . now i have to wait one more week till i get my ultra sound . i cant contain myself im so excited! so stay tuned for the next post cause it will be the one where i get to tell the exciting news!

The growing keeps on going

So here i am again four weeks later and im now 17 weeks... almost half way! but its going by way too slow .. i feel like im getting bigger but not getting farther.. anyways this last dr visit went good.. still short and sweet .. i pee on a stick .. they tell me how fat im getting and then i hear that cute little heart which is sounding good! I did have to get some blood work to make sure the little nugget dosent have spina bifida and i have to go to physical therapy cause i have a nice pinched nerve in my butt/leg.. it sure doesnt feel good so hopefully they can fix it. I cant wait until my next visit cause then i get to know what gender this thing is, i tell ya i just cant stand the wait! i want to be able to start all my projects and go shopping for it,( it will give me something to keep me busy during my free time too) any ways thats all for now .. i know all i right about is me being pregnant but there isnt really much else going on in my life right now.. but anyways, thats all!

17 weeks

• I love mexican food still and i have been eating it for the past six weeks
• i cant sleep....still
• my workouts are getting harder (i get breathless faster)
• salty food is so much better than sweet food!
• I CANT WAIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS! ( has nothing to do with being pregnant)

My visit with burklee

This last week has been a little crazy, my brother and sister in law came to stay at our house for a week with their two girls burklee and parker because they sold their house up north and moved to england on tuesday. Anyways it was a bit chaotic but there was a lot of fun too. I have the craziest funniest nice in the whole world, i dont think there was ever a dull moment. Me and burklee spent a lot of time together during her visit. She got to come with me on lots of walks, to the store to get a treat, i got to babysit her a few times, we made brownies and we got to have lots of movie nights!   Im glad to have a little peace and quiet, but i sure am going to miss seeing them once in a while now that they are in another country. but its ok they are coming back to visit in march and that means baby frazier will be here too!

Three on four

Hello to everyone who reads my blog... (probably like one person but thats ok) It is august now and its freaking hot outside, i cant believe im saying this but i have never been so excited for winter! Anyways since last time a few things have came our way... We had a Layton Family reunion, Trayston, taylors brother left on his mission to mexico and i had my birthday...woohoo the big 20! The reunion consisted of going to zion and hiking.. now im all for hiking but not when its freaking 100 + degrees out side. i mean i get heat stroke from walking to my mail box, can you imagine hiking all day long! well  i went and it was fun being with family but can i just say i didnt think hiking would come to an end. Trayston had his farewell that same weekend and he did a great job speaking. Wednesday Trayston left and that was my birthday as well. it was just like a regular day but i didnt have to work and that evening taylor gave me my present and took me to dinner at red lobster, Which i thought i was craving but then after i started eating i decided i wasnt .. it was still good though. Now time is just going on im working and trying to deal with what life is throwing my way. Speaking of I am now 13 weeks and im defiantly growing especially my chestage area, legs and buttocks ill tell you that much right now. i dont feel like i really have a baby bump i feel like its more flabby fat but whatever right its not that big anyways even if it was a baby bump. We went to the dr today and everything is looking good we got to hear the heart beat which made me happy, it was just so wonderful and exciting i loved it, i couldnt stop smiling while i was hearing it..(cheesy i know but its true) heart beat was 150 so there is defiantly something in there! . My next appointment is in another three or four weeks. and the next one after that we will know the gender! 20 weeks can hurry up if it wants to.

13 weeks and counting:

• im done being sick i think except for occasional not feeling good days
• i need to stop eating chips and french fries!
• Im starting to cry more (which is weird)
• Baby names have been decided i think until i hear one i like better
• this is kinda funny but i have gas all the time 
•  i get hungry fast
• i love to drink water now , its good... and icees
• clothes are getting snug .. i dont think small sizes are going to be in my winter wardrobe this year
• I have my stroller and car seat which i love! thanks mom

Thats about it for now ill post again when i decide i want to .. thanks for reading!

ten weeks

Well im ten weeks now and counting down the days until im done with my first trimester, twelve weeks cannot come fast enough, im ready for the sickly feeling to hit the road. Now that we have it through our heads that this is for real and we are really having a baby we cant help but be excited for this little bundle of joy to enter our little family. I am guilty of spending countless hours on pinterest finding baby ideas, and searching websites for different  baby essential plus a few things i just really want. it kinda sucks though not knowing what im going to have cause i cant really buy anything or make permanent decisions on everything until i know the gender, so for now its just browsing .. a lot of browsing.

So far through my pregnancy

• I feel sick in the morning until around noon
• i dont like raw crunchy vegetables
• cant have pizza ever again (barf)
• I love potato everything(curly fires from arbys! yum)
• watermelon is a favorite
• Probably TMI but i am constipated a lot
• i pee every two minutes
• not showing yet
• i cant sleep well ... EVER! so im always tired

other than that im as normal as can be. my next doctor is on the 20th oh and my birthday is on the fifteenth so you should be expecting a post after those dates.

SURPRISE!

Well we just couldnt wait any longer we had to spill. me and taylor have some very exciting news to tell.

Over all i feel pretty good some times i will feel a bit sick and a lot of things dont sound very good to eat but i am doing my best. well thats our exciting news and we will keep you posted on the progress.

Super fun

I freaking had to start a whole new blog again because the other one is stupid, so anyways lets just pretend its the same one.

This past week has gone by pretty dang fast and it has been a decent one at that. i started my new nanny job and its just fabulous the little girl is super cute and way easy to take care of. taylor is still working and doing school, I am getting a little bit better at couponing and this week was a good success and we got frozen yougurt twice! my food of choice at this point in time. my nieces are also down from indiana and they are staying with my parents for a week. but since my mom has work i get the pleasure of having them over at my house. last night was the first time they have ever been over and it was really fun we had a slumber party. we did lots of fun things like play go fish watch movies and eat popcorn and uncle taylor was even nice enough to play gymnastics after the gymnastic themed movie we watched. Then monday taylor had to go to work but the girls got to go to the pool with me and spend the day together. thats about it for now. p.s. the exciting stuff i promised on my last post thats not till next week so keep on staying updated!
