Please Let the Dr Be Wrong!!!!a;lskjf;laksjdf;lkashdlfiya;osyh

I had a dr. Appointment yesterday, it was supposed to be the last one i scheduled but alas this little boy is proving to be more and more like his dad. They told me yesterday that i haven't progressed any and didn't tell me if i had effaced any more than the 40% i was last week. All they said is your still 1cm dilated and you thin but hard. It is possible to get less effaced? Then they hit me with the bomb. After last week and telling me for sure i would have by next week, they tell me this week that.... Well you might have it this week possibly next week. WHAT!!! are you kidding me. You have to be kidding right. Not getting my hopes up or something like that. So basically they are telling me its possible that i might not even have him until after his due date. Which wouldn't bother me nearly as much if they hadn't told me that i would probably have him early and that back in january he was measuring a little early, and now that i'm still gaining 2 lbs every week i can't imagine how much he is gaining. I just keep praying that if i have to wait two more weeks to have him that he only weighs like 5 or 6lbs right now.

On top of all of this i was so excited to have next week off of work. Today was supposed to be my last day for 2 months. well oh well i guess i get to come back here next week on the day to day basis again unless by some maricle he decides to drop quickly. Oh yeah that was the main thing during my painful internal exam where i felt like they were trying to reach for my tonsils when they were reaching for his head. they told me well he's still really high. NO.. no no no no no.....

I walked this week i walked quite a bit he's supposed to be dropping its not like i have a ton of places for him to go. Anyway i beleive that i'm starting or acutally more like am in full bore into that annoyed irritated pregnancy phase. Everything annoys me i can't drive without getting annoyed i can hardly have someone talk to me without getting some sort of irritated. Plus i started nesting this week now our apt is pretty much spotless. i shampooed carpets cleaned lamp shadesm, base boards etc... isn't that supposed to be a sign he is coming? oh well. the only joy that i have found that takes my mind off it right now is reading Twilight which i picked up yesterday on my way to the dr. office. I have already read about half of it and i'm afraid if things keep going like this i'll have the entire series done by next friday or earlier. anyway i'm done being frustrated for now. Sorry to vent just needed to get SOMETHING out. lol

Suprise!!!

Ok So Saturday morning we had a small scare. The baby is generally moving during the morning at around 8AM but he wasn't moving and nothing i could do seemed to stirr him. So i got up took a shower this generally gets him started, then tried to find some sugar to eat or drink the only thing we had in our fridge was a nasty pepsi, so i sipped on that a bit. still nothing. So i asked kurtis if we could go and get some chocolate. Which this baby seems to love. So we did that got home. We were both still a bit worried so i called the dr. office and the told me the same things i was already doing. So we sat there for a few min and he started moving.

At this time we decided to go out and see if we could get some parts to fix my car. I was going to get ready or at least brush my hair when kurtis opened our door to go look at my car. Much to his suprise there we a bunch of young women at our door waiting to kidnap me. Good thing we had had the comotion we did that morning otherwise kurtis might not have been fully dressed. Anyway... So they took me sweat pants, bball shirt, washed but not combed or done anything with my hair or any other part of me.

They had planned a suprise pedicure for me and one of the other girls at church who was set to be induced the next day. So i got to the nail salon in my sweats, with my uncombed hair and my still hairy legs because remember the shower was to wake up the baby, and got a pedicure on my big fat feet. LOL It was wonderful though i had been wanting one for a while now and just didn't feel like getting out and getting one because my feet were so nasty. So now i will have very nicely french pedicured toes when i go into delivery. Thanks to the Girls. Plus they brought us each a huge nice tasty cinnimon roll form the local bakery. I would put a picture on here but i have taken my phone attachement home from work so i can update you guys when i'm there after the baby is here so i can't do that right now.

I've been Tagged!! and update

Ok so i had a dr. appointment yesterday and they told me that i'm 1full cm dialated at 40% effaiced. I'm very very glad to hear that after last week the told me that instead of being dialated like i was the week before that i was no longer. my dr. had me schedule and appointment for next week but after that she doesn't think she will schedual me becuase she thinks i will have him by then. she said he might come next week too so i'm crossing my fingers. Also i pose a question to you guys uhh she checked my cervix yesterday and caused me to bleed for well most the rest of the day. have any of you had that happen? It stopped but i thought it was more than she was thinking. anyway here is my tagg

TAG YOUR IT!!!

How To Play This Game of Tag:Post these rules on you blog. List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

3 JOYS

1. Kurtis- I'm so glad that he is my husband we have fun together, we make fun of eachother we play together and have stupid names for eachother play dumb games and just enjoy being us. I can't imagine my life with out him.

2. My Baby- I'm so excited for our little guy i feel like i know him but i'm so excited for everyone else to get to know him, and for me to get to know him even more.

3. Family/friends- i was going to put the ocean but i thought this wins over it. I love friends and family. i love having fun and being around people enjoying games fun times vacations and just talking.

3 FEARS

1. Heights.- I learned my senior year in high school after a trip to moab that i am afraid of heights. Not all heights just like cliffs that if i were to fall off of i would definatly die.

2. Failing- All who know me know that i give my all in everything i do. I always tell people i only have two speeds not at all and full speed. (which is why i can't do any sports that i like while i'm pregnant, i don't know how to take it easy) In consequence this shows my fear of failing, failing in life, failing in being a parent, failing at really anything.

3. recently spiders-- i used to live in a basement with spiders all over they have never bothered me until i moved to utah!!! Utah has nasty spiders and worse i didn't grow up with them so i don't know which ones are really bad and i need to stay away from so i just don't like any of them. Plus for those of you that don't know i get blood poisoning from most spider bites.

3 GOALS

1. To have this baby-- this has been my #1 goal for the last few months but i'm going to add into this to be a good mom.

2. To hike Montu Pitu sometime in my life. This and to go to New Zealand have been goals of mine since well probably around 3rd grade. I've completed most of the rest of my travel goals already but these two are a bit harder to attain.

3. To be able to work at home or to be a stay at home mom so i can be there while my kids are growing up. And along with this being able to show them where and how i grew up and make sure they know that there are more important things in life than the material things, and that you can have fun in the dirt, grass, climbing trees', playing in a ditch and in a cow field.

3 current obsessions/collections

1. I'd have to say baby stuff. Everytime i go anywhere since i hate shopping for clothes for me because nothing fits i've switched into mommy mode and get stuff for the baby all the time. Especially love the little baby shoes.

2. Pictures- of late i have found out that i have a TON of pictures. we were cleaning out the babies room so we could get ready for him and i filled an entire plastic tote with pictures. I think that brings me to another goal of scrap booking all of them sometime in my life before i forget what and who are in all of them. This also suprises me a bit becuase i don't take pictures very much anymore.

3. Traveling- I love to travel i get a travel bug in the spring anytime there is nice weather i just feel like hopping on a plane or getting in a car and heading somewhere. It is something that is deeply rooted in me and has been a priority in my life since i was very young. I was lucky to have the parents and relatives i do who helped me to see all the places i have been and helped me raise the money that i had to to get there. I love to experience different places which is why i'm proud to say that i have lived on the ocean, the coast, in a little town in the country and now to a medium size city. And i have traveled to a ton of places in the north western hemisphere.

3 random facts about ME

1. i have lived in five different states ( i don't include AZ where i was born becuase i have no memory of it and i was only there for like a month) Montana, Nevada, Washington, Alaska, and Utah.

2. I have had Three last names in my life. and could have had up to 5 by now. i started with my moms maiden name Hanson until i was 8 and was adopted by my dad and went to Wadsworth and then on March 24th, 2007 i took my husbands name of Anderson. However i also could have been a Madonado, or Krantz.

3. My favorite thing to do as a kid was to hunt for treasures, bones, frogs and fish outside in ditches, sides of hills and in the creeks of montana.

Now i tagg Becky, Laura, Callie, and Hayley. Becuase i'm not sure anyone else besides katie who tagged me looks at this.

Babies!!!

Ok so here is the most recent pic of my belly. This was taken yesterday at my baby shower. This is of me and my cousin Kim who is being induced on the 2nd with her 4th child. Coincidentaly Kim is the one who through many of my birthdays growing up and i think also helped through my moms baby shower for me. Here we are.

My little fashion Sins!!!

Ok so every year this Eye wear store has a major sale where they have all of these high end retailors come in and sell basically their displays at 75% off. Last year i was justified at going becuase i just wanted to check it out. I had never been before and i needed a new pair of sunglasses that fit well. I ended up getting a pair of $40 Valentino Versace sunglasses that were retailing for $180. I know thats a lot to spend on a pair of sunglasses but i absolutly love them and i also had the luxury of having them form fitted to my face. I didnt' know they actually did that until then. here is a pic of those sunglasses.

Well this year's sale came around again and after many months of not buying myself anything i decided to spurge and get a pair of new nice sunglasses. So i headed out to the sale. Mind you it's only a three day sale with advertising over all of salt lake for brands like Nike, spy, oakley, boyle, valentino, gucci, juicie couture, fendi, armani, ect... you get the idea. So if you don't get there the first day they are pretty much picked through. so i got there at about 11:30 so i could get there before the big lunch rush. after about 20 min i finally decided on a new pair of Valentino's because they seem to fit my face the best and these also were $39.00 they retail for $380. Now i have a black and a brown pair and i love them. Life's not nessesary but fun pleasures. Plus i figure it might be the last purchase like this i make in quite a while so at least it can make me happy for a long Time!!!

i also wanted to get kurtis some becuase he doesn't have any and was looking for a nice pair of aviators but they didn't have a ton of those that weren't like $80 so i decided to just get him a nice sporty pair of polorized lens changable nike's. I'm hoping that he likes them.

Pictures sorry i couldn't take a belly picture of myself i did try though!

The Start of a great big spoiling!!!


This is my willow tree mothers Day Present

Ok so i'm soooo excited that we've somewhat gotten our nursery in order. so i figured i'd give you guys some pics. We also now have our car seat in the car and my bag is packed and in there as well. We really only need to finish cleaning our room (doing laundry) and unclutter our living room, as right now we have a few boxes in it. so here are some pics:

This is our Bassinet It is a winnie the pooh. can be a bed side sleeper and a rocker also it has a remote that comes with it as you can start the mobile or the vibration settings without walking up to it.

This is our Crib and changing table i haven't gotten around to putting any of the kajillion blankets my mom has made into it yet. I think i'm going with a jungle theme i have a monkey blanket that i absolutly love and think we'll do that with a light green color for his room. I'll be sure to send more pics once its completely finished.

And of Course did you think that my son would ever get away without sports apparel. I love these little shoes i got them 3 years ago. The others are a Jazz Biniki and a BYU Beenie.

oh yeah the pics are from my phone because our camera is packed and in the back of the car and i was to lazy to go out and get it.

Presents and Lists

i figured it might be a good idea to tell anyone who reads this that we are registered at Walmart and Target. Most of it is just practical stuff, and i didn't put any clothes on it becuase i did it online and got annoyed with it by that time. Anyway thanks for the support. I'm still going down my list trying to get everything we need but have yet to acutally go to a store to get it. So maybe tonight. We're trying to get our crib together before we bring more into an already packed room but who knew how important a drawer bottom was to putting together a crib. This peice was broken when we opened the box and so we called to get a replacement peice last friday. it should be arriving either today or tomorrow but ther are only a few peices we can put together without it. :-) Who would have thought.

The days are getting close i'm just ready for him to be here. Oh yeah i was gonna tell you guys that last night i had my first baby dream. I've had tons of weird dreams while being pregnant but this is the first time i've had a dream where i could see my baby. We'll see if he looks like he did in the dream. In the dream he had slightly dark skin, a little bit of dark hair and blue eyes. Was a fairly little guy and was very alert. So we'll see what comes of it. I'm hoping the hair is right because it was straight and i am so hoping that he'll have straight hair. And that he'll have some hair when he is born.

Wednesday I feel Better just for Spite!

My titles are from a tanya tucker song. Ok so dr. Appointment today. She told me they don't know why i get dizzy, said she was sorry that they did the catheter, that my swelling is NORMAL, and that i am 1 cm dialated.

So all is well aparently doesn't really make me feel any better but at least we're both healthy. Now if i could only sleep so i can get some rest before this baby gets here. Now i'm kinda just on a run down checklist of things we need to do. We haven't gone to any classes about labor or anything, we still need to get the crib done. and the babies room all set up. still have things to buy for the baby #1 diapers. i made a list yesterday of all the things we really need to get and most of the things on there i doubt people will buy us for a baby shower so we just need to get them. i've been putting it all off because i have two baby showers next week but at this point i don't think i can really put it off anymore. Plus if we don't open any of it we can always take it back i guess. Anyway ...

I'm so glad to have the husband i do who is taking such good care of me and not letting me get stressed out. Poor kurtis works 13 hr days and then on the weekends has been getting ready for baby. He'll be getting to take a week of when the baby is born so hopefully he'll get some bonding time in with him. I can't wait for the time off i'm taking 2 months off and am looking forward to spending it with our little guy.

monday which was never good anyway!!

Ok so in a bit of a continuation of my last rant....

I have been a bit dizzy for the last week almost now ever since my "episode" happened. The dr. had told me last week that if it continued it was probably an inner ear infection and that i should go to instacare to get checked out.

Yesterday since my ear had started to hurt on sunday and the dizziness has continued i figured ok at least i can get this treated and maybe then i won't be quite as miserable.....

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

so i left work early at about 3:30 so i could go to the insta care in bountiful i got there about 3:45 and got into see the dr. I told them all of the above so the dr came in talked with me about the goings on of the last week and whats been bothering me this week. So after this he looked in my ears... the census... they are fine. He said they aren't inflamed but to keep an eye on them becuase it can change very fast... however they wanted to do a few more tests on me to make sure it wasn't anything else. So round two of tests for Sam. test one... They drew more blood this time 3 viles full. you all know i hate needles this is the 2nd time in less than a week i have had my blood drawn but this isn't the worst part of this visit. They also take my blood pressure once while i'm laying, sitting, and standing. All of which were higher than i normally am i am usually at about 117/75 my lowest while i was laying down was 120/83 and my highest while standing was 143/85 which is ridiculously high for me. Plus my feet, face, and hands have been rediculously swollen the last few days so i figured they would tell me that i have preeclampsia since we've been watching for that anyway. oh but i'm getting ahead of the story... Then i had to give a urine sample.

After all these tests they had me sit and wait in a room for them to go through and assess the tests. He came back in said my white blood cells look fine, my urine has a trace of protien, but what they are worried about is that it looks like i have a urinary tract infection. Ok so no big deal i already have pills for this at home that i've never used because my dr. presrcibed them to be knowing that many women get these so i figure no problem easy to take care of.... but they need to check with my dr to make sure that they want me to be treated. so they call my ob's office.

Its after hours and she isn't on call so one of the other dr.'s pull my file and wants to make sure that they have diagnosed me correctly since pregnant women tend to have many different things in their urine she wants them to get a "pure" Sample by using a ..... CATHETER!!! i have never had this done. and so naturally i'm very nervous. the nurse was great but in the process they ended up using two catheters because apparently pregnant women this far along are all swollen and the first catheter ended up in my vagi gi. ok now this is the most painful part of the day but then after the test is done the dr. comes in and says well the good news is that there is no tract of infection....

So i spent 2 hours at the dr office had my blood drawn my urine taken twice the second of which was very Uncomfortable, and.... they still don't know whats wrong with me. They are having my urine cultured and my OB should have the results tomorrow when i go in for my appointment which they will be doing a strep test and hopefully that is the last test for a bit. This is also the start of my weekly visits. I just figure that this is my get ready for labor visit becuase i think at this point the needles are starting to bother me less and less and now at least i know what a catheter feels like....

just another manic monday...

oh and here is a picture of my foot already swollen at 9:47 in the morning. The line is because i am wearing my slippers to work and that is where they go up to on my foot.

I"M DONE!!!!!

ok i'm going on a rant now so be ready and proceed at your own risk.

Its a good think that you girls all of cute pics of all your kids up becuase i'm soooooooooooooooo Done being pregnant!!!! After my last post now i am starting to think that the dr. might be right and that i may have an inner ear infection. So i will be taking another trip to insta care as they have directed me to do if the dizziness persits and i already know what they will do. Besides not remembering that i'm pregnant and asking me when my last period is. Since the dr. that looked at me last time already kinda asked me about my ears and if they hurt but didn't give any explaination for the question what so ever i'm sure they will tell me oh well you may have an ear infection but we cannot prescribe you anything because.... wait for it oh my goodness your pregnant. So i will have to call my dr. have her call them most likely and tell them to prescribe me something so i can get rid of the stupid thing. So i don't feel like my head is going to fall off of my body anymore while i'm sitting or like at any moment i might fall over if i'm not careful.

On top of being dizzy, it has finally started to warm up here good yes and no. becuase now my feet are permanently a ballooned shape along with my hands and face. I feel like i have big puffs under my eyes and it doesn't matter if i sit with my feet up in the air for hours after about 30 min of them being down they puff right up again. My hands are getting so puffy my fake ring that i have on so people don't look at me with discust like i'm a single pregnant women is now stuck on my finger most of the day. And as if the dizziness wasn't enough now my head is filled with water as well so i try to rest it on my shoulder so i don't feel the weight of it.

Next You all know i pulled my ligaments shooting a layup back in january. well i've been pretty good about making sure they don't hurt however now that our little boy is getting so close to being here they are streatching now normally. Only problem they are still streached out from before so the weight makes it nearly impossible to walk anywhere without pain. if this is what it feels like to grow old i hope i die young or at least before i become miserable.

And now i've been having what i'm guessing are braxton hicks contractions about every other night so i get up at about 2:30 AM and get in a warm bath for about 30 min to make the pain go away.

And because of all this and the fact that we are now getting baby's room together my apartment is a MESS make that a DISASTER AREA. and is driving me crazy but i swear after about 5 min of work i can't handle doing anything anymore. and poor kurtis is now putting together everything so that we'll be ready when baby comes when he has any time at home. Since it is nice weather he has been working 60+ hr weeks and is gone from about 5:30 in the morning till around 7 at night.

I"m just ready for baby to be here now. If i'm loosing sleep anyway i'd much rather be spending it with my son no matter if its just him crying or not. Every one tells me how much easier they are when they're still inside but i don't think its true we'll see. I understand you don't have to feed, change them, or stop them from crying. but at least you get to see the little turd that's keeping you up and you get to hold him in your arms and see his little eyes look at you. Right now i'm just plain miserable and he's still in there. i feel like he's laughing at me too. (did i mention i think he's just like his dad already) becuase every time i finally get comfortable he goes on a tirade on my stomache. they say they aren't supposed to be moving as much at this time however i have to beg to differ it still looks like a bulldozer is trying to flatten my belly from the inside out when he moves and flips all over the place. And now that he's dropped its back to punching mommy in the bladder, and those oh so tender ligaments.


I keep telling people they should have me go to schools and give a siminar with young girls about what its like to be pregnant. I'm sure it would drop the teen pregnancy rate. Ok enough complaining. 32 more days hopefully less and i will have a beautiful bouncing baby boy and may posssibly be able to see my feet while standing up! and the best part of it all will be that i will have 2 months off to spend with my new baby boy in the beauty of summer. 32 more days 32 more days..... Thanks for listening.

I'm starting to think now i have pregnancies like my mom.

Ok so i really really can't wait for this little guy to get here!! i'm getting really excited. The new news this week..;...

I had to go into the dr. to run some tests yesterday. It all started wednesday night. I got home from work. kurtis was working in Price which is about 2 1/2 hours away. I kinda lazily sat on the couch and watched some tv, then i picked up a bit and at about 6PM i decided i needed to take a shower before i headed of from wednesday night activity at the church for YW. So as utah i've decided has now turned to montana weather it has been cold the last few days with snow coming down. (next week we are supposed to be close to 80 again) Anyway i get in the shower and its so nice to be warm so i turn the heat up just a bit get done with my shower turn off the water and as i turn around to get out i get really dizzy and my muscles just kinda give away so i decide to kneel down in the tub so i don't fall over. At this point i really only remember closing my eyes and then as i came to i remember kind of shaking. So after this i'm a little freaked out but i'm ok. I got into our room get dressed and grab my pregnancy book looking for some sort of comfort information in there. i also text kurtis telling him " hi hope everything is going well. i think i may have just had a small seizer or blacked out" he didn't answer so in about 5 min. i called no answer again and then about 5 sec. later i get a call. he hadden't yet read his text so he was calm. I talked with him for a bit and then told him the news. his reacation "you aren't going anywhere tonight. I'm calling my mom and she is going to come pick you up." said i love you and called his mom. As it is His sisters wedding tomorrow they were out at dinner, but had his sister kimly come get me. So word travels fast in this family and by the time we got to his parents house that is 5 min away i got a call from Aunt Susie telling me i need to call my dr. Oh and also i let my YW leader know that i wasn't going to make it and she was about ready to drive me to the hospital then. You all know me i'm not much of a fusser. I mean come on 2nd degree burns and i didn't go to the hospital for about 7 hrs. or something like that. anyway so i called my dr.'s office and luckily my dr. was the one on call that night. The nurse paged her and she called me back about 10 min later and told me i had probably had a case of Vaso Vigo (not sure on the spelling) but basically is a dizziness brought on by heat. She told me that i should just rest for the night and if it didn't go away by the next day to call her and they would run some tests. I HATE TESTS.

So the night was fine and the morning was going great. I got up it was snowing so kurtis didn't have to go to work he was getting ready to go play raquet ball with his sister. And we ate a breakfast together which was nice, i got ready for work. And then about 5 min after that i sat on the couch and it hit again. i was dizzy and didn't feel like i could hold my head up. So told kurtis i wanted to go to the store to check my Blood Pressure. So i called work told them i needed to call my dr. and about what had happened the night before. Then we headed to the rec center and i called my dr. I was starting to feel a bit better when the nurse finally called me back but my dr. wanted me to come in for some tests anyway so we went home kurtis got out of sweaty clothes and took me to the hospital. I had a blood test and they checked my blood pressure, then sent me on my way and told me they would let me know.

The nicest thing about this day was that kurtis cleaned the extra bedroom and started to put the crib together. Anway the verdict is that my blood test was fine except i am anemic. So they have me know on iron pills and they say that it might also be an inner ear infection and that if my ear starts to hurt i need to go to a dr. and have it checked out.

All in all today is 5 weeks till delivery, and i'm so excited to get him here i'm ready for him to be here now. Its scary when i i'm lying in bed in the morning with kurtis to think soon there will be a third one in our little family, no longer just the two of us. but at the same time i'm looking forward to brining baby home and watching him grow. Anyway girls All is well and we'll keep ya updated.
