Photo, child birth class, blah blah

Here are my belly pictures. I am huge! I didn't really realize how big i look until looking at this picture. I am 33 weeks here, getting closer. The amazing part is that i think i look huge here, i still have 7 weeks of growing. This is probably nothing. Oh well. On Monday night Reyn and I took a child birthing class, interesting. So it started at 6 pm and ended at 9pm. The class was surprisingly pretty big, well like 10 pregnant girls, but throw in all the husbands and it becomes 20 people. In a small little room. Well Monday night there was a huge storm, and the electricity went out during our class. We sat for an hour and a half in this room with no a/c, no lights, just dim back up lights. it didn't really get hot til there was only a half hour left of the class. By then the teachers were annoyed and everyone was cooking. so they let us out a bit early. The funniest part about the night was when the lights went out, it was dark, there is a big window out to the parking lot where people can see into the room. And we were all practicing one of the comfort positions. It's just like dancing, Reyn had his hands on my hips, me around his neck, and we were just swaying. All the couples were doing this, and all the sudden a bright light shines in on us. It was the fire truck, so all these fire fighters probably thought we were all crazy. Haha. I don 't know how funny this story sounds, but it was funny at the time.

So then we went again on Wednesday night, last night, and we got to watch all the scary videos. I can say i don't think that this baby is going to come out, it's pretty scary looking. I was freaking out watching these videos, it makes me pretty nervous. We watched a live birth with out any medicine, then we watched a c-section. Then we watched an epidural birth. And oh my gosh, i can't believe im going to have to get this baby out.

I know that everything will be fine, and that things will all work out. But after last night i did get pretty nervous. I didn't think this class was supposed to make you nervous, thought it was going to comfort me. Well in some ways it did comfort me. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. Reyn is a great support, and just know that he is going to be there just helps put me at ease.

Well i better get going. Sorry this post turned out so long. I guess i just needed to kind of express things. Have a good day!

just an update

Well i have realized that i haven't written on here for a while. There isn't much to say. We are pretty boring right now. Oh, well wait i have been in the primary for 3 years. that's right 3 years! But this past Sunday they released me. I guess I haven't been officially released like from the pulpit, but ya, i'm outta there.! This coming sunday we only have sacrament, so i don't teach, but the sunday after that they are going to let me teach. So i will be able to have one last lesson with my kids. I have had the 7 and 8 year olds, they are great. i will miss them. But one thing i am very scared about is going to Relief Society. I have an easier time talking with the kids then the women. I have never gone to relief society in my ward. I know it will be good, but im just nervous about going. I have to become a big girl, lol. so now i don't have a calling, which is kinda nice, no major responsibilities. they told me that i deserved a break especially with little gunnell on the way. Which is only 8 weeks away. Kinda a long time away still, but really not, i work so many hours that the weeks just fly by. i feel like i was just at the 12 week count down. and now here i am saying 8 weeks. I will have to get a picture of my big belly soon enough. and post it, so everyone can see how fat i am. lol. Well enough jibber jabber for now. Have a good weekend ! :)

ALL DONE

YAY! Reyn is all done with ASU! Hooray! He is all done with his bachelors! I am so proud of him! And he got his state certificate for his EMT, so he can find a job now. I am so proud of my hubby, he is such a hard worker. I can't even imagine all the schooling he had to go through these last few years. Studying all day everyday, and working so hard to get good grades. Now we are just waiting for the PA program to let us in. He is applying now, we won't hear anything til December or January. but if he gets in he will start in June 2009. He is excited to get back into the working field again, won't have to worry about tests and finals and homework again, for a while. Reyn keeps pretty busy, he is a great guy! Thank you Reyn for being so wonderful!

I am 30 weeks, the baby count down thing is off a few days. Oh well, who really even knows when this baby will come. You can't even really set a date, i just wish instead of them telling me a date that they would just say sometime in the beginning of September. that way i am not thinking about a certain date, and when that date doesn't happen i won't be disappointed. Oh well. So I am at the 10 week count down, 10 more Sundays, according to the due date. We will just have to wait and see. Our baby is getting strong in my belly, he is crowding my right rib really bad. I have to push him out of the way often. but he always finds his way back to irritate my side. it's pretty exciting, his arrival, but I'm also kinda freaking out. It doesn't seem real yet to me, that he is going to come into this world, and that i am his mom. Whoa, pretty scary. I hope i am a good mom.

Well tomorrow is the 4Th of July! Already, i can't believe that it's already July. where has this year gone. My family will be here to party with us! We are excited. BBQ, swimming, fireworks, our countries independence, good company, etc... I hope everyone has a good 4Th. Adios!

HICKISH? . . . . . . .

This is me in my wranglers and cowgirl shirt. This is the outfit to be worn at the wedding, as a bridesmaid. We had to alter the shirt just a bit to show that I wasn't a girl wanting to be a guy. My sister in law Paula helped me, she had to safety pin my sleeves because they were so big. And she took some no sew and tightened it just under my chest so it could look like i have a chest and a pregnant belly. It turned out looking way better after she was done. This picture actually doesn't make me look too bad. I expected myself to look way worse.

Alright so this weekend was a crazy one. On Friday the 13th was my ( heidi's) birthday. We went up to Lakeside on Friday. I didn't have to work. Yay! I made $200.00 just for having a birthday, what a good gift. Money is always so nice! And Reyn surprised me and he went and got steps on my truck. So i can get in it, i haven't been able to drive it much these last few months. Im too fat with child to hop right in. But now thanks to my wonderful husband i can hop into my truck again. I also got to eat at La Casita, my favorite mexican food restaurant. Then Friday night off to the Hook 'N Spur for the wedding rehearsal. Let me explain here for a minute about why my title is called "hickish". Well my very good friend Cynda got married this Saturday, June 14th. We are two completely opposite people, she is tall skinny and beautiful. And a bit of a redneck. She is very proud of this title "redneck". So her wedding was outside at a place called the Hook 'N Spur. It is in a meadow, field type of place. There was a pretty little stream, beautiful green grass, nice big pine trees, etc... The wedding turned out beautiful. The bride was absolutely gorgeous! It was just a very pretty little wedding. I was a bridesmaid, I wasn't so attractive. At 6 months pregnant in about 90 degree weather at 1 in the afternoon, i wasn't so attractive. I did post some pictures of the wedding. This picture is walking away from the ceremony after the bride and groom were announced husband and wife. If you look real close you can see that the guy i was walking with was handed a beer. As well were all the other groomsmen. It was pretty funny.

This picture is of us walking down the isle, you can kinda see my baby bump. We had to alter the shirt a bit, to show that I was actually pregnant, and not just a big frumpy fat girl.

Here is Mr. and Mrs. Matt Logan. As they were walking off after being announced husband and wife. they do make a great couple. He has a little girl that is just so in love with cynda, it's so sweet.

this is where the minister stood, to marry them. Nice touch, don't you think?

and ta da! the gorgeous bride! She really was so so pretty!

Then Sunday, June 15th, Happy Father's Day! it was a busy weekend. But it was a fun one. it was great to be with my family this weekend. We came back home a few hours ago. And now its just preparation time. get all the laundry washed and get things ready for work and school tomorrow. Fun fun. well hopefully everyone had a nice weekend. and a great father's day to all those fathers out there. have a great work week. :)

ULTRA SOUND - weekend

These both were done today. We had to go back in for another ultra sound because we didn't get a very good look at his spine. But the appointment went good. Our baby boy is growing fast and is looking good. The picture on the left is his face and his fist. I think he was getting ready to punch me. lol. The second picture is just another face shot. But it is a pretty good face shot. He has a cute little button nose. He is so cute! I am so excited to hold him, to see him. He measured out at around 11 to 12 inches and about a pound and a half. And she said in the next few weeks he will only be getting bigger. I am 25 weeks and just patiently awaiting his arrival.

I have had the last 3 days off. It's been so nice, i feel so weird not going to work. But soon enough i will have my work cut out for me. My mom and sisters came to town Sunday night. We hung out Monday and took my sister Amanda to EFY. She will have fun, she is brave, and willing to be social. It was a great weekend. It was great to see mom and the girls. I go back to work tomorrow.

Be-lated Mother's Day posting

Well mother's day was 2 weeks ago, but i didn't write about it. We were up in Lakeside with my family. It was so nice up there. So my aunt Tenney had a baby girl and i went to see her. My little boy in my belly didn't like me holding her. He Kicked and kicked and punched at her. It was funny, he is a feisty little guy and he isn't even out yet. Or maybe he was letting her know that he was there, and that he knew her. Who knows. It was just funny how he just kicked and kicked every time she was resting on my belly. Then when i lifted her off he didn't bother to kick anymore. By the way isn't Reyn so attractive in that picture. Haha, he is a silly guy.

This other picture is me and Reyn, he is so good. We bought my mom a beautiful corsage for Mother's Day. And Reyn also surprised me with one. It was so sweet. So this was him getting ready to attempt to pin it on me. It was so pretty. It made me feel special. And there is another photo of my belly. It's so funny looking. lol

HAVASUPAI

Alright so these are pictures from havasupai. This first one is the top of the hike, the beginning.

the one on the left is Navajo falls. the one above is Havasu falls. ------------------------------

So right now it is 6 a.m I slept at Reyn's parents house - well i didn't get much sleep at all. Reyn and 3 of his friends left last night, to go hike Havasupai. I didn't get to go this year, well for obvious reasons. This trip has been planned for a couple of months and Reyn managed to get more people this year than last year. But again i didn't get to go. Right now the boys are probably starting their adventure. I think it is a 12 mile hike in, i could be mistaken. And it is a pretty easy hike going in, until you get to the village, that's when you think "finally we are here". But no when you get to the village they say "2 more miles before you reach the falls". And that 2 more miles feels like 2o more miles. It is 2 miles of sand, and walking in sand is not always the funnest time of your life. The reason i know all this is because i did go last year. It was beautiful. I am actually very jealous of these boys that they get to go. So anyway once you get out of the 2 miles of treading sand you come upon a gorgeous waterfall! Havasu falls! Absolutely incredible. ----------------------------------------------

Well last night was our (Reyn & I) first night apart. I don't know how hard it was for him, if it was even really that hard, because he was traveling. And he has to be tough, because he is with his buddies. But it was terrible for me. I woke up every hour on the hour. And usually I wake up anyway to go to the bathroom like 4 times a night. But this time i just couldn't sleep, not at all. I didn't want to stay home by myself so i did go to Doug and Ellens, I slept on the couch. It is a very comfy couch, but it was just very lonely with out my Reyn. So i finally decided at 5:20 this morning that i better just head home. So i can get ready for work. So i got all my stuff, and hopped on the 202 and here i am - posting on my blog. Reyn won't be home til Saturday sometime. So i have 2 more nights without him. I think I am going to stay the night at his parents again tonight, maybe i will have to take a sleeping pill. And then my sister aubrey is coming down Friday night to hang out with me. So im excited for that. I just have to get through these next few days without talking to my Reyn. But i am so excited for him and his big adventure to Havasupai! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well i suppose i can't really say i am totally alone, because i have this wiggly little baby boy in my belly. I feel his movements a lot now, he is shoved to my left side right now. So my belly is lopsided. I will say it is so cool so far being pregnant, having such a sweet piece of heaven apart of me. I love it. But i am only 23 weeks right now, so once i am bigger i may be saying "get this baby out". Maybe, i don't know yet. But right now i love it, and it's so neat.
