34 weeks and counting...

Alright, it's been far to long since I've updated everything. I know most people who look at the blog, are on facebook as well so I probably won't post pictures on here since they're on facebook already. But a lot has happened since my last post. We were able to go down to AZ for Christmas to spend the holidays with Jason's family and got to spend 2 weeks there. It was fabulous. Nice and warm couple of weeks and we were able to spend a lot of time with our friends and family. Mia loves Christmas and still can't see an old man without calling him santa. She loves the movie Polar Express and takes her 'ticket' with her everywhere to ride the train to see santa. She was spoiled tons while we were there and loved it all.

January was a LONG never ending month. Just seemed to drag on and on with nothing to exciting to tell. Getting fatter and fatter by the day and feeling worse as the time goes on. Lilly is doing well and growing as she should and Mia is having a blast playing with all of our baby stuff and getting ready for her. I have realized what a little mini mom she will be. She loves to put her dolls in the babies car seat, loves to get the bottles to feed them, and loves to change their 'stinky bumbs'. She is going to be one very involved big sister.

We had a great start to February. Well, at least Mia and I did. Jason was busy at work and Mia and I were able to go on a trip with my parents and nieces and nephews and some of my siblings to California for 5 days. 2 days were spent driving there and back and the other 3... at Disneyland! Mia loved it and was so cute there. She wore her princess dresses 2 of the 3 days, little aurora and snow white. So cute. She was in love with the characters without any pushing from anyone. As soon as we walked in the park and saw Mickey and Goofy walking around, she was so so mad she had to wait in line and ran to hug them the second we let her go. She enjoyed all the rides and was able to meet tons of characters and got to dance in the parade with Woody from toy story. So cute! She had a blast there with her cousin's and LOVED spending time with my nephew, Beckham. He's only 5 months older than her and in the past, they have had a hard time getting along, but this trip were the best of buds. So fun to watch them play and have fun with eachother.

Now is everything baby. I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow, 3 weeks to full term and I have big plans to try everything I can to get this baby to come as soon as full term hits. I have an ultrasound next week to see how she's growing as she should and not teeny tiny like my little munchkin Mia. Hopefully all will be well with her and all signs will point to her coming early. I have been having braxton hicks since about 14 weeks and thought a couple months ago they couldn't get stronger and have been proven very wrong, ha. Luckily they usually don't happen to often, but when they do, they stop me in my tracks. Labor will be a breeze after this, ha.

Beyond that, all is well. I try to do a little bit a day to get ready for the baby to come. Mia is doing well, she is such a sweet baby girl, at least most days. Jason is wonderful and takes amazing care of us and is so sweet putting up with me through this pregnancy. I know it can't be easy some days, but he handles it well and tells me I'm allowed to complain about pregnancy all I need to. Although he does like to convince me I should never do this again, and some days, I'm sure he's right. If only it were that simple...
