33 Weeks & Other Twin Falls Adventures

33 weeks! Not sure what's up with my hair... :)

How far along: 33 weeks (as of yesterday)
Total weight gain: +15 pounds (yes, I've gained 5 pounds since last time...kind of depressing :P )
Maternity clothes: wearing daily now
Sleep: Okay - I've been having a hard time with falling asleep lately. Our childbirth class instructor said that sleeping in a recliner might help so I may have to try that :)
Best moment this week/month: Seeing baby girl in an ultrasound! It looks like she is going to inherit my chubby cheeks :) But she is so cute, I just can't wait to see her!
Miss anything: Getting a full night of sleep
Movement: Yes - lots! Danny was finally able to feel her hiccuping the other day :D
Food cravings: licorice, ice cream...anything sweet :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...
Gender: Girl!!
Symptoms: weight gain, leg cramps, itchy belly
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood:Glad that the ultrasound went well and that everything is going great.
Looking forward to: Seeing her in 7 weeks!
Since I had an ultrasound, they gave me some pictures of her. Here are a couple of the 3D ones where you can see her chubby cheeks :)

Another face shot (don't worry about the thing on her head...it's just with the 3D imaging - that's where her head is resting against the uterus)

In other activities, Danny and I have been busy trying to see all there is to see here in Twin Falls. We've seen Shoshone Falls (called the Niagra of the West)...

Twin Fall...

 

and the Hagerman Fossil Site!

Apparently the Oregon Trail goes through here...but we weren't really able to see anything.

The Snake River!

We also visited a creamery (CloverLeaf Creamery) in Buhl, which was really good! And we also saw some BASE jumpers jumping off of the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls. Here's a video of what the jumps look like - it's pretty intense to watch. It's over 400 feet high!!

Anyway, other than that, we've just been enjoying Twin Falls, trying to get the most out of it that we can. More updates to come! :)

As many of you know, Danny and I moved to Twin Falls this past weekend. We are here for an internship that Danny has with Glanbia, which means that this baby is going to be an Idaho spud. I met with my new doctor yesterday and everything transitioned well, I think. I will have to get an ultrasound next time to check my placenta (it was low-lying at 20 weeks) so I'm kind of excited to get to see her again before she comes :)

The move to Twin Falls was a success! Everything went well and we appreciate all who helped us move, whether it was in Logan or Twin. Danny started his internship on Monday and seems to be enjoying it. I am working from home until baby comes, which has been good as well.

Another thing I should mention is that I FINALLY GRADUATED!!! My brother Stuart took some pictures, which I'm hoping to get soon, so I'll post those once they come. Finishing school has been such a huge goal for me and I'm so glad I actually finished! Thank you to my family (especially Danny) for the support you've all shown me while I've been going to school. Here are just a couple that Danny took of me about ready to walk across the stage. 

That's it for now - I'll try to post more often with our adventures from Twin Falls!! :)
