33 Weeks

One more week down, 7 more to go! I am so excited to meet my little guy! And my ribs are DEFINITELY ready for him to be here already :)

Cody, Wyoming

On Saturday my Mom and Dad took Jayda and I up to Cody for a little weekend fun! I got to go to Sierra Trading post and pick out a pair of shoes for my birthday...YAY!!!! I was still wearing the shoes my mom got me for my 16th birthday EVERYDAY and apparently she felt the need to put those poor shoes (and my feet) out of their misery. (I got some really cute chacco sandals if anyone cares, lol). We hit the Buffalo Bill Cody Musuem afterwards and had a great time! They just built onto the older musuem and added a Natural Science wing......by FAR Jayda's favorite part. There were so many animals, the kid had a great time. And with having a set of grandparents there, I was able to let Jayda run around and I even got to read a few of the captions and watch one or two of the info-videos they played!!

32 Weeks

32 Weeks and counting!

Yesterday was my first Dr. visit with the dr that will be delivering Dallyn here is Wyoming. I was VERY pleased! The guy used to be one of my X-country coach, HAHA!!!!!!! He was very attentive and even gave Jayda a lot of attention which was a big deal in my book!! We talked about some of my birth plan and he noted some of it in my file, all in all it was a great appointment! I have gained a total of 12 lbs at 31 weeks. His heart beat was great and I am measuring just a little bit off but he said that I shouldn't worry about it, he might just be really low in my pelvis. It is insane that I could have a newborn in 6 weeks (I would be a little over 37 weeks!) YIKES!

21 Hours......WE SURVIVED!!!

After Bryan's ship pulled out of the bay, we headed back home to pack up the dog and our mini cooler full of snacks for our 21 hour drive back to Wyoming. It was so great to have my dad there to help, Jayda adored him so I got to focus on getting everything we needed in the car in the right order (it's a killer to pack the fruit snacks and portable DVD player at the bottom of the pile, lol).

The first night we made it all the way to St. George, Utah. It was GORGEOUS and we went out for a Mother's Day dinner at Denny's (fancy, I know). The next morning we decided to hit Zion Park........IT WAS MARVELOUS!!!! We didn't get out because we still had about 12-13 hours of driving to still do but we drove through the park and went up the nasty, scary switch backs. I went there as a kid and it was just as awesome as I remembered it!








We got to my home town (Thermopolis Wy) around 10:30, 11pm. My mommy and sister were here waiting for us and Jayda stayed up until 12am playing with her aunt Hannah and her boyfriend! She is definitely having a great time with all of her family out here. She has little cousin's around her age and so many grandparents waiting on her hand and foot. I have been very spoiled too :)

Worst Mother's Day EVER!

I am not sure who the sadistic man is who decided that Bryan's ship should deploy on Mother's Day.........but whoever he is should be shot! He had duty the day before so we didn't have to drop him off early in the morning. We woke up and headed straight to the boat around 8am. We got to spend about 20 minutes out on the pier saying our goodbyes before they set sea and anchor. It was nice to see all of the guys in their uniforms (especially mine, hehe). I rarely see him in any kind of dress uniform so I went (a little) crazy with the pictures. There were two other wives that I knew there this time too and it really helped having other people standing there with us. They will be back in August, but it's unbelievable the amount of stuff he is going to miss this time. He will be leaving a family of three, and coming home to a family of four!

I think I might be......

PREGNANT!!!! Bryan is in so much trouble..............
