how far along? 36 weeks 5 days
total weight gain: 27
maternity clothes? Mixed with regular clothes. I can tell that she's dropped because it's harder to pull my pants/skirts around my waist
stretch marks? A few more. I'd really like that to stop
sleep: No problems, thank goodness.
best moment this week: Hearing baby girl's heartbeat and finding out how far I've progressed
miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach and being able to easily bend down and get on and off the couch
movement: She seems to be moving a lot more the past couple days
food cravings: Not really
anything making you queasy or sick:Not really
labor signs: I haven't felt any contractions but the dr said I must be having a lot at night because in the past week I've dilated from under a cm to just under 3 cm!
symptoms: My stomach has been aching a lot this week
belly button in or out? In
wedding rings on or off? On
happy or moody most of the time: Happy
looking forward to: This little girl to join us! It could be anytime!
At my dr's appointment this morning the dr was very surprised to see how far I've progressed in a week. He was even more surprised to hear that I haven't felt any contractions, but he thinks I must be having them at night for there to be that much progress. He said that she really could come anytime but he thinks it will be at least another week or more.
This past week has been really nice. My co-workers threw me a baby shower on Thursday and got me some things that we were still needing. They are all so wonderful! I am so grateful for my job and that I work with people that are so great. Saturday Tony and I attempted to go to Zions, but silly me...I forgot how busy it would be now that it's so nice and warm here. We ended up just eating and coming home. I finished the baby's room for the most part and I think it turned out nice. Super simple, but I like it.
Tony is at an interview right now for the city of Hurricane. It's a full time position and I really hope he gets it! We're kind of on hold right now with figuring out if we're moving and who will watch the baby when I go back to work. Once he knows for sure we'll be able to have a better idea what's going on. I've been praying a lot that he gets this job!

35 weeks 5 days
how far along? 35 weeks 5 days
total weight gain: I can't remember how much I'd gained the past few days
maternity clothes? Mixed with regular clothes. The maternity jeans that I bought are too big now, they won't stay up
stretch marks? I've got some more on my sides
sleep: No problems...just can't get enough. I have noticed I can't just turn from side to side anymore, I have to turn onto my back, readjust and then turn onto the other side.
best moment this week: finding out there was a little bit of progress and that I was able to hear her heartbeat again, that always makes me so happy
miss anything? Sleeping on my stomach
movement: She still moves a TON. And she's still kicking me in the same place
food cravings: It really depends on the day. Always fruit and sweets
anything making you queasy or sick:Not really
labor signs: No contractions or anything. The dr said that I'm just barely dilated(less than a cm) but I'm 50% effaced. He thinks I'm right on target for my due date
symptoms: My stomach has been aching a lot this week
belly button in or out? In but it's almost nonexistent
wedding rings on or off? On
happy or moody most of the time: Happy
looking forward to: Having our baby girl with us! It's getting so close!
So this morning I had my doctors appointment, and I start going in every week now :) I can't believe it's so close. The doctor says everything looks good, she's head down and he thinks that if I make it all the way to my due date she'll be about 7 1/2 pounds (I've heard that is rarely accurate, but who knows). He gave me information so that I can pre-register and told me when I would need to go into the hospital. It doesn't seem quite real that I'm having a baby so soon :) I can't wait!

Baby shower #2
Yesterday I was given a baby shower by some of Tony's aunts and cousins. Lots of family and friends came. It was so nice! I had two of my mission companions drive down and another friend come, it was so sweet of them to make the drive! Instead of playing games they decided to tie blankets for this little girl, I thought that was so creative!
Baby girl got lots of diapers, blankets, cute clothes and a lot of other things that are going to be so helpful to have once she's here. I am so grateful for people's generosity! There are so many things that baby girl wouldn't have had that I know she will love(or I will love for her!)
Because of how generous people had been we were able to order our stroller today! We found it on sale and had a promo code to get a free rain cover and free shipping. It'll be here on Tuesday! We also now know the few things we still need to get before we're entirely ready for this girl to join us. I'm hoping to have everything by the end of the week so Ivan just finish organizing. The baby's room is also kind of our storage room right now so it makes it a little difficult to get it how I want to. It's coming along though.
We found out that we're getting out of our lease early...we have to be out at the end of may.....perfect timing since that's a week after my due date. We'll see how that goes. So now we're trying to find a place to live and also trying to find someone to watch the baby once I have to go back to work. I'm trying to be patient and trying not to get stressed, but I'd be lying if I wasn't worried.
I started training a new girl on Monday for when I go on maternity leave. She'll be taking my place then when I get back she'll be assisting a couple of the loan officers. It's a lot to teach her and the first few days I was really stressed, but it's getting better. I'd love to train her for a couple more weeks and then I'd be okay for this baby girl to come early. The first weekend in may would be okay :) if not then, if she came on her due date it would be perfect timing for us to make two trips to San Diego before I have to go back to work(one hopefully to bless the baby in my parents ward because Tony's parents will be in town and my brother conor will also be in town and I don't know the next time I'd get to see him).
I still have a little over a week until my next dr's appointment, but I'm looking forward to getting an update on what's going on and also being able to hear our little girls heartbeat again.
I didn't take many pictures at the shower but I'll post the few I did.
My friend Kelsi gave me a diaper motorcycle, Tony's grandma make me a diaper cake and I got pictures with my two companions Sister Ireland and Sister Ence and then my friend Kelsi

Easter weekend
We had a very productive weekend. We had our date night on Friday....in n out and Deseret book, super exciting hey? We got a new book called "the continuous conversion" from the same author that wrote "the continuous atonement". I've only got a couple chapters in but I'm already loving it and have learned a few interesting things. It helped me to focus more on Easter which I am very grateful for. Saturday we just worked around the apartment. Did some weeding, dishes, laundry, mopping and finished baby girl's dresser! We still have to get handles for it but I think it turned out nice. And I am am happy I can start organizing a little bit more. Yesterday was Easter Sunday and it was pretty relaxed. Church and dinner at Tony's parents, them just hung out at home.
I'll post a baby bump picture that was at 32 weeks 3 days. Also a picture of the dresser
I have my doctors appointment tomorrow so I'll update about that tomorrow
