So my mom and sister have started planning my baby shower in Cedar City. I'm so excited. We decided to have two since I know people down there and also up here in Salt Lake. It's coming up here in about a month and I seriously can't wait. It's kinda early for a baby shower. But since I'm due right after christmas and the holidays are so stessful for everyone we decided to would be better to do it earlier instead of later. It's going to be so exciting to get some stuff since right now we have basically nothing. We have been trying to hold off on buying anything until we see what we get from other people. I couldn't resist though the other day at walmart with this adorable little outfit because it was on the clearance rack for really cheap. Little girl stuff is so fun. I can't wait to dress my little baby up in so many adorable dresses and outfits. If her daddy has his way she will be wearing a poofy princess dress almost every day.

Which the baby has been super fun this last week. She moves so much, and Colton has now been able to feel her moving a few times. He's so in love with her, it melts my heart and makes me love him even more to see how much he already loves his daughter even though she isn't even born yet.
This Link is to a recording of the doppler on our baby's heart the other night. The heartbeat doesn't start until about 9 seconds because she was being difficult and rolling around. It's so fun. This was also right after she kicked the doppler really hard. My little baby is going to have a ton of attitude, just you wait.

Total weight gain/loss: I haven't weighed myself for a week or so but I'm guessing I'm up about two pounds from my starting weight finally.
Maternity clothes? Yes and no. I need them. But I don't want to buy them so I just wear normal pants not done up with my belly band. That won't last too much longer though. I guess a trip to the store is in order.
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: Really good, I wake up kinda early most days but can fall back asleep. I nap like an hour ever day now and that helps I'm still super tired, but it could be a lot worse.
Best moment this week: Getting some of the biggest kicks so far and for Colton to get to feel them too. He's so adorable about it and he gets so happy and excited when he can feel her it makes it even more fun.
Miss anything? Not really anything right now. Maybe not being quite so tired but it's going to be a lot of years before that goes away.
Movement: YES!! So much, I honestly love it so much.
Food cravings: Still want my sandwich but not a ton else over all. Lots of sugar but I crave that when I'm not pregnant.
Anything making you queasy or sick: If you consider heart burn to be sick then basically everything, but I'm not really that naseous anymore. I'm very grateful.
Have you started to show yet: Yep. I am most definitely starting to get a belly.
Gender: GIRL!!!
Labor signs: no
Bell button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? OFF!! I'm so sad. I can only get it 3/4th of the way on my finger now. I miss wearing it so much. It's so pretty.
Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy I think.
Looking forward to: We got some of the decorations for our nursery this week and are going to be putting them up next sunday so I'm super excited for that. It's going to be so cute!
Baby #2 is the size of a grapefruit!
She's forming little nipples (yeah, really!)
Her face is fully formed now--she just needs a little extra fat to fill it out
She's listening to your voice and your heartbeat--and even to loud sounds like cars honking and dogs barking!
