Is It December Already?!

**I wrote this post a while ago but I want to remember some of this so I am going to go ahead and post it now. I will be back with a more current update soon! Still waiting for baby!**



Well November has come and gone and I did not post once as you are well aware! I don't know where the month went but I guess we had lots of things keeping us busy. I have been trying to figure out how to download a new template but it has not been going so well. Maybe someday I will figure out how to get something new on here but until then I guess I am stuck with this one! :)
I guess I will start this post with a baby update. My pregnancy has been relatively smooth and uneventful where baby is concerned but it seems like I have had more issues and discomfort this time around. I had a horrible cough and cold for about three weeks which effected my sleeping and everything else! I was so happy to be healthy, able to breath again, and not coughing! The coughing brought some other issues along with it that I won't go into detail about but it was all around not fun! Then a couple of weeks later I literally could not walk or even move without being in extreme pain. It felt like the baby moved onto some of my nerves in my back and pelvic area and there were a couple of days where I could not even drive. I don't know what happened but before i could even go to the Chiropractor I could walk again without pain. ( I am still going to go to the Chiropractor though!) I hope that for the rest of this pregnancy my only issue will be the normal can't get comfortable, getting up to go to the bathroom 10 times a night while trying to sleep problem. I know that their are lots of women who have lots more to deal with in their pregnancies so I am thankful for my minor little issues! Baby Bubba (as my family likes to call him) is doing great and moving around lots. I was concerned at my 34 week check up when I was measuring at 32 weeks but at my last appointment I was measuring at 36 weeks which is the week I am. I am going to get an ultrasound on Tuesday because she wants to make sure he is head down and she couldn't tell for sure at my last appointment. I am so ready for him to be here, have the labor and delivery all behind me and to not be pregnant anymore. I wish I could know when he is going to make his arrival! My poor parents and sister wish they could know too! My sister has been on bed rest and next week when she is full term she could have hers right away or go until her due date the beginning of January. My parents don't know where to go! Anyways, this is turning out to be an interesting Christmas for all of us!

Now, an update for the Month of November with pictures in my new slide show! We spent the long weekend (first part of Nov.) in Billings, Montana visiting Malcolm's grandparents with Malcolm's mom. It is a trip we had been wanting to take for long time and we felt like we should make it happen before the baby comes. Great Grandma Reynolds is not doing very well and living in a nursing home and we really wanted to go see her and to also visit Grandpa and encourage him. He is such a sweet man and watching him lovingly feed and care for grandma is a site I will never forget and am thankful I got to witness. I tried to take a picture of it but it just can't be captured in a picture. My good friend Paula lives in Billings with her family and we had lunch with her a couple of times and the two of us went shopping together on Sunday afternoon. She is such a sweet friend and we have some fun memories of high school together. It was a fun treat to be able to see and spend time with her as well. She is pregnant with her second child too and is due in February.

I thought that was Paula in your slideshow! If you think of it, give her my love the next time you talk to her.

Good luck with the end of your pregnancy. I'm praying for you and Kara and your whole family--I hope the logistics work out so both of your sweet babies get to meet their sweet grandparents right away! I'm anxiously waiting for news and pictures (but probably not as anxiously as you are)!
