Pregancy Update

I haven't been writing anything down so I am taking a minute to do that. I will be posting Abby's birthday party pictures soon. I was telling my mom the other day how different these two pregnancies have been. I remember Abby getting the hiccups all the time. But Colette never gets them. Well I spoke too soon because now she does. Still not as much as Abby did though. I also remember Abby kicking me a lot especially in the same place on the right side. Colette likes to somersault and roll around all the time. I am lookg forward to the time when she is too big to do that!

I dropped with Abby around my baby shower right before she was born. Colette dropped probably on Friday and I have a month left. I am hoping that means that I go a lot earlier. It has also alleviated a lot of the pain in my ribs that I had been feeling for months now. Not all of it but it is definitely better. It also helped lessen my heartburn and nausea that I had been feeling the week leading up to her dropping.
It has been so much hotter this summer than with Abby. I remember being uncomfortable with Abby but never sick because it has been so hot. My favorite time of day is when I am in my car with the AC going because my office doesn't have a vent and neither does my house. So it is the only cool time of the day.

So with all the festivities going on the last few days (late nights, Alaina's wedding stuff, Abby's birthday party, etc.) I have been very stressed. So I guess that has made my heart race a little bit. So my heart rate was up for the second appointment in a row and I mentioned that I could feel my heart racing a few times over the weekend, so here I am at work with a 24 hour heart monitor. It is just precautionary but it stresses me just to have it on. I can't wait for tomorrow to take it off. It makes me more paranoid about every little thing with it on because I have to track when I feel it racing and what I am doing and push a little button. I hate to even tell my mom about it because it will make her worry and I hate when she worries about me. Luckily I know she always puts my name in the temple and I have felt it calming me today when my anxiety rises.

Wish me luck in getting through the next month. I am going to need it. I just want this baby here (and healthy!) so that we can start having more fun. 

Football 2012

Football has again started for our family. Grant leaves the house at 5:45 a.m. and gets home between 9 and 10 p.m. to kiss Abby good night and then heads back to do bed checks at the dorms. I thought I was even prepared this year for Fall Camp, two-a-days, but I just don't think it becomes something that you get used to. I am especially stressed about the next few weeks since I am hosting the Duffs and planning a birthday party. Did I also mention that I am 32 weeks along now? I just have to keep remembering that this time helps to get me to my goal which is to stay home with my girls. I just hope it gets there sooner rather than later.
There are still some fun things that come with sporting events. I will just look forward to watching football games and finally getting this baby to the world. It is about time that she get here!
Sorry for the small venting, Grant isn't around to hear it...
