Nothing too exciting about this check-up. My weight and blood pressure was taken like usual and I had my belly measures for the first time. We did hear her heartbeat though, and that's always re-assuring.

But I can't complain, everything has been so wonderful this far. I can really feel her moving around and about 6am, 11am and 11pm she is out of control. Nothing is going to stop this child.

Chug that water.

So I got called into work to do some data entry junk the other day. No big deal I thought, well I was wrong.
I thought I was going to be able to sit in the back office at the computer there, but I ended up having to use the computers in the front so I had to stand. Still not worried though, it was only going to take me 20-30 minutes then I could go home.

Well Mallory, my co-worker, decided to go check the laundry while it was slow at the front so she could have something to do. A little while after she left, I had been standing for 10 minutes max at this time, a guest walks through the door to check in.

Immediately as I start checking her in, I start feeling dizzy and light headed. I told myself "it only takes two minutes to check someone in and you'll be fine!" Well as I'm just about to show her where she needs to sign and write her vehicle info down... I black out. "NOT GOOD" is what I think to myself. I tell her I need to sit down and stumble my way to the back (still not seeing) somehow and tell Mallory to come to the front.

By the time she gets there, I'm in tears but I can at least see now. I call Caleb to come pick me up and we stop by the doctors office to see what's wrong. .... Dehydration, is what the nurse says is wrong with me. I felt like a wimp! I even teared up while telling her my story.

My ability to control my hysteria that day was on the low side, but I have been drinking more water though, one of the hardest things ever!

Practicing for the real thing.

Well Caleb is starting to practice on how to hold the baby. I'm afraid Sitka is going to be real jealous when daddy is playing with his little girl and not with her.













Doing good so far. I can't wait to see my baby girl in his arms.

Another First Day of School

School has started once again. Caleb and I both have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's so nice to be able to have the days off in between, we both love sleeping in!

I'm loving classes so far, because I'm done with generals and I'm actually studying what my degree is in.
Caleb, once again, doesn't even have buy books for his classes, and cine home with no homework... lucky! Only 2 more semesters and he's done... yay!

We are lucky enough to take institute together as well. We listened to the first part of the dramatized doctrine and covenants this summer so I thought it would be good to study D&C while it's still fresh in our minds. I can't wait to dig in and learn some new things.

Lagoon & Zoo

Our last, well our one only for a matter of fact, vacation for the summer we packed up the silver bullet and headed up north at the spur of the moment. We had one free weekend between summer work and football.
What was supposed to be a little get together with my mom and little brothers, turned into all my brothers my grandma and my aunt. It was a nice surprise.
Two days of lagoon and a trip to he zoo couldn't have ended the summer any better.

She's got her father's nose!!

 Long athletic legs! (If she does anything else, like dance or cheerleads.... I'm going to be no help, so hopefully she's athletic)
