32 1/2 Weeks
I really don't want to regret not taking enough pictures while I am pregnant, and I`ve figured if I'm not one of those fanatics that take them weekly I should atleast take a few when I have noticably gotten bigger. So here I am at 32+ weeks and the baby is suppose to double her weight in the last 8 weeks... yikes!

Valentines Day
Before I forget I wanted to journal my thoughts and feelings from Valentines Day.
Jason and I had the opportunity to attend the temple. Anytime I attend the temple I like to record my thoughts, feelings and experiences. It was so nice to be there, and I'm sad to say that it had been a little too long since our last visit. Ironically though we didn't drive down together or do a session together. Jason was with the Young Men and Women and I was with my sister. Either way we both participated in a great work.
It was wonderful to drive down with Jenn, and be together in the temple. I had such a peaceful experience there. My sister thought I was going to pass out though because I was so hot , and I felt short of breath the whole time(again being prego does that). I didn't realize I was breathing so loud!
I think I really needed some clarity of mind, and I found that there. Like I described in a previous post that I felt things have been dramatic in my life lately, and I feel I also got a bit petty in the same post as well. Sorry. I just needed to step back, and put things into perspective and I love how going to the temple can do that for us.
Tonight Jason and I are planning to go out for a "belated Valentines Dinner". We were so tired after all the driving that we didn't do too much in the evening. After dinner he is dropping me off to his parent’s house and I am attending the play "Annie" with my sister's in law and mother in law which will be a lot of fun and I am pretty excited.
Last but not least, please- if any of you read this and haven't noticed my post about going private, please add your email address to the comments section. I'm still waiting a little longer but want to set it up soon. Thanks.

Going Private
Hey everyone!
I'm really not sure how many people read my blog or like to check us out everyone once and while, however we share some personal stuff on here, and feel its best to go private. Please post your email address in the "comments" section so I can add you to our readers list.
Thanks :)

DrAmAtIC TiMeS
Two dramatic experiances I'm going to record here. I think they are experiences I will want to look back on and hopefully laugh at in the nearer future...
The other day Jason and I were at home watching American Idol and I was sitting on a chair across from him with my head turned to the side looking downward at something. Thus my chin was tucked in and squished, giving me a double chin. I know- so lovely aren't they? Not to justify why Jason said what he did, but I obviously wasn't in the most defensive appearance to argue with him. I now quote my sweet and wonderful huband, "Oh baby, your face is just getting SOO ROUND, just like your round belly!"
And the waterworks start.
After calming me down and telling me I'm not fat, but just rounder in the face like my belly I seemed to find the strength to tell him I'll be okay , and I am just emotional. He felt terrible and I wish I didn't start balling, but the hormones take over most of the time, or all the time! I must give him credit, he did everything he could to fix what he said and try to make me feel better, but next time he just needs to bite his tongue. Later that evening he was looking at me and said "my you have such a chiseled jaw line." Again I'll give him credit for trying...
On top of all this, I must mention the serious and unnecessary drama we've been dealing with together. Another couple found out about one of the baby names Jason and I feel pretty set on, and have been harassing us about it! In all honesty we had no idea that they wanted this name too. They are due just over a month after we are, and are stuck feeling like the ones copying so to speak, but they live on the other side of town, we never see them and I could care less if they use the same name. I know what it feels like to have someone use a name that you planned on, or loved, but you don't get in their face about it, you can use it too, or just deal with it and pick a different one. However they've been making rude jokes about it, and cheesy threats if we should use it- very immature in my mind. Why should someone have to deal with this sort of garbage when trying to find the right/perfect name for their child!
In the end they will be so wrapped up in their little girl and the joy they find in their own family that they won't be thinking about Jason and I. It's a beautiful name and I can see why they love it too.
I wouldn't mind disclosing it on here, but I think I will save that for the near future when we feel more certain ( I have trouble being 100% about it before she's born) And on top of that it wasn't something I was going to share with the world simply to avoid "name stealing" too. So many people are pregnant right now, and pregnant with little girls especially, there's bound to be over lapping with name choices.
Well I think it is safe to say that I did some good'ol venting in this post- thanks for hearing me out :)

U C Baby
So here are some photos from U C Baby. Like I mentioned before I was a little sad that they were so blurry but the experience was still neat. You can sort make out some of her features, ie: my chubby cheeks and Jason's chin... Astleast that's what I think I have been able to determine so far. Jason has a cute chin and I have a bum chin, and it doesn't look like she has the bum chin. Check out the photos and let me know what you think.
Hiiiii! - She is waving in the picture :)
Foot in the eye...

A little Update @ 28 weeks
Well things are still going along quite smoothly for us. I'm crunching away at my last 10 weeks of work and Jason and I have been slowly prepping the nursery. We had such a hard time finding bedding that we liked. Well I sure did. 90% of the stuff you can buy to outfit a little baby girl’s room is quite cheesy in my mind. Too much bubble gum pink and tacky bugs, and flowers on it. I just wanted something beautiful and classy. After finding a few that we liked online, I put myself through the trouble of finding a website that would sell it to me in Canada and not cost me and arm and a leg. In the end I found the perfect set, and for much cheaper than I would have paid for a Canadian retailer to ship it in for me. Now we can start to brainstorm the colours we want to use throughout the room. Painting is the next big project.
The past week we were lucky to having 2 ultrasounds. We had one at the clinic on Wednesday morning, it was a “pregnancy” ultrasound but mainly they wanted to check on that cyst I still have. Baby was doing great and all but the cyst is still there and hasn’t changed size yet. It’s still a waiting game at this point to find out if I’ll have a C-section or not. On Thursday evening we did the U C baby ultrasound. It was quite neat; however I’m not sure if I’ll do it again. It is just waaay to expensive. I seemed to justify it as a Christmas gift with the money I received from Grandma and Grandpa Bennion. I’ll post the pictures soon, the CD is currently in the mail. I remember feeling quite antsy throughout out session because the babies face was often blurred behind the placenta and I just wanted a clear shot to know what she looked like. It made me really excited to want to see her already and not want to have to wait anymore! Oh how I would love for her to come a little early :)
This is the bedding set we purchased. It looks quite washed out in the second photo but you can see all the pretty accessories it comes with. We bought the mosquito net, a lamp, and diaper stacker to go with the cirb set.

Me at 28+ weeks. I am starting to feel bigger every other day. I took this picture witht he fathead behind me to enlighten Jason. The baby room used to be decked out in 49ers gear and it's all coming down now.

Double Digits
Whoohoo my little baby ticker says 99 days to go! I may end up being over due a week or so but it's nice to see that it isn't a hundred and some odd days anymore. The count down is on! It's funny because the surrealness of being pregnany is fading away and it is starting to feel a lot more intense. I need to post another tummy shot soon because I do look noticably bigger. I get kicked and punched all the time too. One of my girlfriends told me it was such a gradual thing everytime she saw me that I didn't look really pregnant to her yet, but being gone at Christmas and seeing me now, it's obvious that I've grown. I have just over 3 months left -crazy. I can't believe how much time has flown by but at the same time I think these last few months will be the longest. Sleeping is more uncomfortable and as much as I can't wait to meet our little girl I can't wait for spring. Both come at the same time and I just feel like both will never get here soon enough. I can't wait till that little baby ticker says 9 days!
