Interesting

Do you ever look at your stats, including where people are viewing your blog from?

Country            pageviews
United States      146
Russia                 109
Canada               65
United Kingdom  13
Germany             7
Poland                4
Thailand              3
New Zealand       1



So these are the countries that my blog has been viewed from in the last month. Some of these make complete sense.... US, Canada, Thailand and New Zealand I get. But who is reading my blog in Russia, Poland, Germany and UK. :) If you are out there and in one of those countries you should leave me a comment. Just curious. :)

Baby, Baby

On Friday I went to my last doctor's appointment before this little man shows up. Of course there was a huge storm that was miserable to drive in but I made it there safely. They hooked me up to the non-stress machine and I got to listen to his heartbeat for 30 minutes. It was perfect. And my blood pressure was, ok. Then I met with my doctor and I am dialating which is good and she decided to strip my membranes. She told me 50% of women then start labor within 48 hours.....apparently I am not one of them.

We are now just waiting to be induced tomorrow. I am really excited to meet our little man. However, I know this may sound dumb, but I just had the realization that today is the last day that Jana will be my baby! It kind of made me a little sad. But we have been cuddling and playing today and just enjoying my sweet girl.

Next time I write, hopefully Mr. Drew will be with us. :)

January updates

Jan 4th

I went in and got checked out to see how Baby and I are doing. The good news... I have started dilating. The bad news... my blood pressure was high. So Doctor Laine had me get strapped in to the non-stress test (NST) machine to check out little man's heart rate. As I was sitting there my blood pressure came down and little man's heart rate was great. So we were able to go home with just making sure I came back and got checked out again. I have to go back in on Monday. I wasn't to overly concerned because on Sunday I am 38 weeks and that is considered full term so we are in good shape.

I also was working a 12 hour day on Friday so I figure that had to do with the blood pressure.

Jan 7th

Went back in for another NST. I got to sit there and listen to little man's heart beat for about 40 minutes. He is doing really well and my blood pressure was okay. I worked really hard to take it easier on the weekend because I knew this week would be a little crazy. We have the induction scheduled for the 14. So I go back in on Friday for another appointment and then I will be having a baby!

Jan 8th
Danniqa started with her private skating instructor. She had some lessons with different instructors and we picked one. We are really excited for her. She had her first lesson and did great. Danniqa is loving skating still and is doing really well! Good job Danni!

I have been trying to get a month's work of work done in a week. It is working but I have had some long days. I have a few more visits left tomorrow and then I have seen all of my clients. Then this weekend I can get ready a little bit for little man.

It has been really interesting how different things are this time around. With the first baby I was worried about making sure I had everything and was worried about all the "things" I needed. This time I am so much more laid back. I have a car seat, crib, diapers and some clothes. We are set! Isn't that all you need.
We are really excited to have this little man in our home. Danniqa wanted to make sure she could get out of school early if he comes while she is at school. Her teacher told her that was fine. :) I keep reminding her that he may not be here yet. And Jana has no clue. Other then now she thinks my stomach's name is Drew. If you ask her where Drew is she will point to my stomach. She may be pretty confused when the baby and my stomach have the same name.

Two weeks

I had a doctor's appointment on Friday. Everything is still going strong with little man. We scheduled the induction for January 14th. Two weeks from today. I just have to keep reminding myself that I can make it two weeks. Right.... :)

Sunday Dinner

December 30th
We got home from Church, I got her dress off and she took off. She just hung out in her diaper and boots for a little while.

 Then we headed to Spanish Fork to have some time with the Fife family. Zach was headed back to China the next dad, and Meredith and the boys are headed to Idaho. So we got together.




 Team Ipad. Kept them entertained for a little while.

I am so grateful for teh time tha tI got to spend with my family. I was so spoiled for so long to have them all within an hour. Now they are spreading further and further away. So I really enjoy it when I get to be with them.

odds and ends

Jana likes to put her sunglasses on. But she usually wants her dad's hat at the same time. Love the face in this one.
After a big wind storm at our house I came outside and a big tree branch was in our yard.
 My cheese girl. She now says Cheese and smiles. She also a lot of time sticks her hands up to her eyes....not sure why.
 At Grandma & Grandpa's house. Jana sat down and then kept pointing to the floor and saying Daddy Down. So he finally sat on the floor next to her. Though he wasn't super excited about it.
 One day I was sitting doing paper work adn she was crawling all over me. All of a sudden she had stopped and I look back. She had fallen asleep. She is standing up next to me leaning onto the couch.
 Kev and I were out looking for a new couch. I was very very grateful for netflix on my phone at that time. It kept her entertained.
 Thursday after Christmas. I wasn't happy that Kev was gone because I had to dig the car out. Not fun.

But this sight on Friday the 28th was a great one. I was excited to have them come home. Jana just kept hugging me and patting my back.

Grandma's house

So Kev took off with the kids Christmas night and made it to his mom's around midnight. They were there Wednesday, Thursday and came home Friday night. It was a short trip but they had fun. I asked Kev to see the pictures when he got home, and of course, he hadn't taken any. So luckily Grandma sent me some .

She was thirsty so decided to handle it herself.
 The dog decided to take advantage of the situation.
 Aunt Becky taking car of her hair. (Thanks Aunt Becky and Grandma for helping out.)

 Hanging out with grandma
 Grandkids, minus Jake, with Grandma
 Jana playing the bells
 Girls making Santa faces.
 Jana and Nova hanging out
 Don't worry Jana has both of Grandma's elbows for perfect pinching position.
 Air hockey tournament
 Yeah!

I was glad they had fun. I stayed pretty busy while they were gone but was glad to see them come back. Though I can definitely tell a difference in how sore I am based on whether Jana is home to chase or not.
