Weeks 35-36

No picture this week - I kept forgetting to get a picture and by the time I really meant to do it [today, now at 36 weeks] it was too late :P. But here is an update on how things have been the past couple of weeks:

How far along: 36 weeks (as of today) - one month left, people!
Total weight gain: +17 pounds 
Sleep: Okay - I've been having a hard time with falling asleep lately. I've been getting restless legs so it's been difficult, but working through it.
Best moment this week/month: Getting the last of the baby stuff we need - it feels good to be a little more prepared! :D
Miss anything: Getting a full nights sleep, not having to worry about where the bathrooms are when we go places :P
Movement: Yes, not so much kicking, but just moving around. 
Food cravings: not really, but I've been eating a lot of Nutella lately
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...
Gender: Girl!! Still no name yet (and even if we did have one, we wouldn't tell, haha)
Symptoms: weight gain, stretch marks, less sleep
Wedding rings on or off: On
Mood: Excited - I can't believe she'll be here in a month!!
Looking forward to: Seeing her in 4 weeks!

Tonight, I finished a project I've been wanting to make for baby girl and it's so cute. I followed the instructions on this blog, The High Heeled Hostess. She has a lot of cute craft ideas and this one seemed pretty easy. Anyway, here's how it turned out:


In other festivities, we went to Twin Falls Western Days a couple of weeks ago, which was fun. They had a parade, which lasted a long while, but it was pretty good. They also had a festival-type thing at the park with booths, food, and carnival rides so we checked it out and enjoyed the live music that was going on. They said it's bigger than their 4th of July celebration, so I'm not sure what we'll be doing for that holiday...Western Days was good, but the 4th of July should be great, so we might go to Rupert for their festivities that day :P

We also went to the temple up here, which was really cool. It's fun to go through new temples! We're planning on going to the Boise temple this weekend. 

And lastly, even though we are only living here for 3-4 months, our ward here has given us a calling! We are in the nursery 2 Sundays a month. Since this ward is a family ward, they have a lot of kids. Danny really likes it because he gets to play with toys all day, which makes 1-4 church go by a lot faster. :)

  2. The wreath turned out really cute! Did you decide to cut the strips narrower? We can't wait to see that Baby Girl too! Have fun in Boise.
