I don't ever know what to title these...

Yeah, I never know what to title my posts. I always wanna just say "updates" lol, but, obviously that's boring....

ANYWAY...A few things have happened since I last posted let's see....

Ryan and I had maternity pics taken. My face looks so fat to me. But, I can't complain. It's BABY! And once this baby is here, you can bet I'll be workin my tail end off (once I'm allowed to work out) so that I can get into even better shape than I was pre-pregnancy!! (Yes, I know it's a process and will most likely take me quite some time. But, it's time I'm willing to spend!) Here are a few pics for now...



We had a really good Thanksgiving...We ended up going to our friends Chad and Lauren Biggs' house (and were able to take our huskies Suka and Ella with us because they have a big fenced in yard...So those two ran their tail ends off allllll day!). Ryan's sister Tonia, husband Peter, and kids came as well. Let me tell you, the food was a splendid thing for this pregnant lady!! Lol...

Ryan is really enjoying his pharmacy technician job at CVS Pharmacy. He likes the people he works with, and he enjoys what he does (and he's happy...as well as his employers...because a lot of hispanic people come in wanting prescriptions and they don't know english very well, so, Ryan steps right in and talks to them fluently in Spanish...much to their surprise! lol....Thankyou 2 year mission to Mexico City!!)

We have a feeling this little girl Scarlet is going to be making her way into the world soon...Last night I had some really strong contractions and they were nothin like my normal Braxton Hicks! We timed them or literally over 3 hours (well, 2 of those hours Ryan helped with but the final hour I was on my own because he needed to go to bed). They were a consistent 4 minutes apart and after the first hour and a half gradually became stronger and were lasting more than a minute each. I had been laying down for those 2 hours so for about 20 minutes I decided to get on my yoga ball to see if that would stop them (cuz if they stopped then I'd KNOW I wasn't in true labor). Well, they didn't stop. So, I decided to take a nice warm shower. The warmth helped my back so I couldn't really feel the contractions back there anymore, but, I could most definitely still feel them in my front the whole time I was in the shower. When I got out and dressed they were still coming, and I could feel them in my back again, so, they apparently didn't change....BUT, these contractions stopped getting stronger and never reached their painful level, so I figured that they weren't the real deal and was able to go to bed and sleep through them....Upon waking up this morning, I'm still having contractions, but, they're not hurting my back so we'll see how things go over the next few days!!!!!!.......Only 9 more days til this little girl is due!
