GRATEFUL

I can’t believe I am 30 WEEKS! Where did the time go? Although being pregnant can be taxing at times, I have really enjoyed it. I feel like I am getting my bonding time with my son before he is even born.

Keaton already has so much character. Whenever the dr. puts the doppler on my stomach, he gives it a firm kick and it's like I can hear him saying "Get that off of me!" His favorite time to kick is after I eat something sugary or right when I lay down to go to sleep. Lately his movements have become much more obvious! I love it. 

At my last dr. appointment we did my glucose test which I passed! I was relieved, because I have kind of been eating a lot of sugar haha. I also had my rhogam shot since I have a negative blood type. The shot itself didn’t hurt, but after it started to feel like a bee sting. I have also had to have two root canals done recently that put me in a lot of pain. I had them done, and a week after one of them was still hurting, so I had to go back and they had to completely redo one of them because there was still infection in the tooth. Still today the tooth hurts, but i'm hoping it's just because it is sore. If the tooth continues to hurt, my dentist says it could be a possible fracture which would require them to pull the tooth. But I am trying to have faith in the fact that it is slowly starting to feel better. I had to take antibiotics and all that fun stuff. I can't tell you how many nights I couldn't sleep because my tooth just throbbed all through the night. I am grateful for my husband who was able to give me a priesthood blessing to help me heal and feel comforted. 

My current cravings...
A&W root beer floats
Any kind of chewy candy

This past weekend, I had my baby shower in Boise! It was so fun. I am very grateful for my amazing mom who planned it and made it happen. She is very creative and made everything look darling.  I am grateful for my friends Tessa and Samandra and my sweet sister Megan who helped as well. Tessa made and amazing cake that just looked so cute! I got some great gifts from all the great friends I have. My parents got us a 4 moms mama roo rocker! I am so stoked for it! Garrett's parents got us the diaper bag of my dreams! My mother in law was sweet enough to mail it all the way to Boise. I am so grateful for wonderful parents who have supported us in our decision to have a baby! 

The time is definitely getting closer to the day we get to meet our boy. My appointments will soon start to be every 2 weeks instead of 4. I am nervous mostly just for labor and delivery, because I have never experienced it. I want things to go smoothly. I can only pray they will and try not to think about it until it actually happens! I appreciate those who pray for me, I can feel your love!
