30 wks 3 days...

we're down to 10 wks.. WoW... I am definatly getting to the uncomfortable stage and can't sit/lay really do anything for a long period of time without getting incredible uncomfortable... I swear she sits on my bladder all throughout the day and then at night she moves up to my ribs/chest and so then i can't breath.. she's such a sweetie =)

How far along: 30 wks 3 days

How Big: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage).

Weight Gain: haven't weighed in for almost a week now.. so hopefully still around 7 pounds gained.

Stretch Marks: nothing new

Maternity Clothes: yup..

Best Moment this Week: putting up christmas decorations... =)

Food Cravings: texas roadhouse chicken critters. yum!!!

Food dislikes: steak and chicken.. YuCk!!

Gender: My baby PrInCeSs

Movement: Early mornings and at night time.. not to much during the afternoon..

What I miss: Being able to help people do stuff. my friend just moved and i couldn't help move anything big, i can't help shovel the crazy snow, i hate not being able to help/ do stuff myself.. drives me nuts

Belly Button: sooo UgLy!!

What I am looking forward to: Our appointment on wednesday.. i've been feeling kinda weirder lately so i got lots of questions to ask the dr...

Milestone: A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

29 wks 6 days...

Okay so i have really sucked at posting these weekly surveys.. Life has been SUPER busy and to add to that the internet just got fixed.. So hopefully starting TOMMORROW i will be able to update more and on time =)

Milestone: Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

2 Years and couldn't be happier!!

Bradon and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary this past saturday.. It has truely flown by, i can't beleive we've been dating for over 6 1/2 years and i've been MARRIED for 2 and we'll have a little one the next anniversary.. All of that just puts a smile right on my face.. Bradon surprised me with some gorgeous flowers and a yummy carmel apple that we shared.. We had our last birthing class at the hospital that morning so we started off the day by going to that.. We later drove up to park city for a fun "cold" filled day of shopping and then dinner.. I can' beleive how much colder it is up there, we we're frozen numb by the end of shopping.. We had heard a little about a restaurant name "Ruths Chris Steakhouse" so we both just thought lets try it.. Little did we know what we had in store for us.. haha... It was the MOST EXPENSIVE restaurant i've EVER eaten at in my life!! They called us by MR and MRs Fredrickson, offered us carbonated water,wine etc. haha . Then we open the menu and start looking at what they have and notice the prices$$$$ the cheapest steak on the menu ( the cheapest thing besides the sides) was 40$, just for the steak that's it.. So we got 2 steaks and a side of french fries ( 9$ ) and drinks and our bill was over 120$$.. We both just laughed and said next time we'll look at the menus first.. I was not a fan of my steak, i got filet migon and its just way to tender for me, so i got a to go box and we gave tito and belo my 40$ steak. haha i'm glad someone enjoyed it.. It was such a fun day being with bradon and just "flirting" and being so carefree.. I love this kid more then anyone could ever imagine, all night i would just listen to him talk and when he would finish i would just smile and tell him how much i love him, that's all i could think about!! I can't wait for all the many more anniversarys we will share together..

No pictures since our lovely beautiful internet is still BROKEN... hopefully today it gets fixed!!

The first thing is my handsome,respectful husband!! I am reminded on a daily basis how truely lucky i am for Bradon and i's relationship.. I hear so many people talk about there husbands and how they talk to them and the things they do to eachother and it makes me feel SO bad that they don't have a "BrAdOn".. He is truely the most amazing supportive Respectful man alive.. Bradon has NEVER talked down to me and has always supported everything i do.. He makes me smile non stop and still gives me butterflies the way he treats me.. We have such an amazing marriage and see eye to eye on AlMoSt everything.. I'm so glad i have such an amazing husband and never have to be one of those wives that have SO MUCH to complain about there husbands, only good things coming from me =) Love you brady phil, thanks for always loving me and treating me like your princess..

Second thing, my AMAZING family.. What would i do without them?? My mom and dad are the COOLEST yes i said it the coolest parents alive.. I am at there house probably everyday. Its so nice living so close cause i think i'd die if i lived any further.. There my best friends and i know i can always talk to them.. I call my mom for EVERYTHING and vent to her about everything too =)
My sisters are my best friends and i am so lucky to have them.. I love being able to go hang out with them and just be ourselves and laugh.. I pray i bless brynlee with a little sister cause i know how important they are to me and what a HUGE impact they've had in my life!!

My job.. I LoVE my job and am truely so Thankful for it.. I have been here for almost 3 years and feel so blessed to be where i am at here.. And of course my side hair job.. sometimes i really miss doing it more, but i'm definatly glad i have my clients and can keep up with it and do it as a hobby, and a little extra cash..

Brynlee Jo... I don't even know how to put into words how thankful i am for this little princess... I am sooo thankful god blessed me and bradon with her and trust us to raise such a blessing.. I have AlWaYs loved kids and can't wait to raise one of my own.. Brynlee is more loved then you could ever imagine and i hope she feels it!!


And of course there's all the little but BIG misc things... Our house, the cars we drive, the toys we get to have,our freedom,and just being to be happy every day with all that we have accomplished in life and live life to the fullest every day!! I love my life and am truely blessed for ALL that i have and all the people in it that make us smile on a daily basis...

28 wks 5 days..

Can you believe i only have 79 days give or take left until my little angel is here.. I sure in the heck can't!! This pregnancy has seriously flown by so far.. Now that i'm into my third trimester and its getting so close i have a feeling it will start to go by ReAlLy slow.. Hopefully with all the holidays and family birthdays coming up it will keep me a little more occupied.. =)

So i'm a little late on her survey this week, totally not my fault though, we are in the middle of switching satelite and internet and the modem won't be in till HOPEFULLY thursday or friday, so until then i won't have much to post/ picutres..




How far along: 28 wks 5 days.

How Big: your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels

Weight Gain: up 7 pounds...

Stretch Marks: nothing new

Maternity Clothes: some of my maternity pants are starting to get a little tight.. might need to upgrade to a couple bigger pairs..

Sleep: sleep hasn't been the best, but last night was AMAZING.. i don't know what it was, bradon tucked me in with three pillows and had me all propped up so i could breath since brynlee is up in my chest, and i slept lovely =)

Best Moment this Week: Starting to get stuff for first baby shower, and of course good sleep.. always a plus!!

Food Cravings: still loving my french fries and hamburgers.. oh and a big fountain dr pepper.. yum..

Food dislikes: steak and chicken.. YuCk!!

Gender: Precious GiRl!!

Movement: She's my little worm!!

What I miss: Breathing.. I seriously am out of breath all day, between my nose being plugged and her sitting up in my chest, i sound like i ran a marathon from just standing up..

Belly Button: it wants to pop here soon.. it is so so shallow but just needs b to grow a little more.

What I am looking forward to: Our first baby shower next week!! soooo excited to start getting stuff for her.. Aw i love her so much!!

Milestone: She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.



i'll post a belly picture as soon as we get the internet modem, hopefully by the weekend..

27 wks 4 days..

Here's the survey on what our little princess has been up to =)




How far along: 27 wks 4 days.

How Big: This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended

Weight Gain: up 4.6 pouns

Stretch Marks: nothing new


Maternity Clothes: all maternity pants..

Sleep: sleep sucks =)... peeing every second is back on the scedule.. she is so low she pretty much just sits on my bladder.

Best Moment this Week: Passing my glucose test. and brynlee kicking for grandma and grandpa numerous times =)

Food Cravings: Skittles

Food dislikes: I think i'm going back on the steak and chicken kick.

Gender: Girl

Movement: When she moves, she definatly MoVeS!!

What I miss: Sleep... and probably just being able to be more active.. its really hard to get around..

Belly Button: its so shallow for me.. i think its freaking bradon out. haha

What I am looking forward to: reaching the third trimester on thursday.. awwww she's sooo close to being in our arms..


Milestone: She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
