It's been a little while since I have complained about the wonderful changes that I am going through...so I thought I would catch everyone up on them. First things first, I have major unexplainable heartburn...if that's what you call it. I have polished a bottle of tums in a mere two weeks. Tums are like candy to me now. I also am swelling up everywhere...my ankles mostly. I am still trying to exercise every day and I must say I do feel much better when I do. Although it doesn't get rid of my heartburn/acid reflux crap. Everyone is asking me..."when are you due? You look like your going to pop right now!" Let me give you a little hint...do not say that to pregnant women...it is kinda rude. I feel like a house...so I don't need to hear that I look like one too! I feel like I have a long ways to go still. Really I do feel pretty good. I just like to complain. XOXO-Erin

Have you ever been late to church? We live about two min. away from our church building, so being late usually never happens. Well, we were late this Sunday and let me tell you it was not fun. I have to sit in the soft chair's because my legs ache when I sit on something hard. So, being late, the only seats that were available were the hard chairs in the back or the front seat that is for the handicapped. We went to the front and sat so close that we might as well sit on the stand. I am really not sure if we were supposed to sit there anyway, because it's reserved for handicapped. The entire time I had a kink in my neck from straining to see the speakers. I felt like I was at a movie and got the up close and personal section...ya know, the kind that it wasn't even worth going to the movie. Other than that....we had a great weekend. Just relaxing and enjoying the last few weeks that we have without a screaming baby. Although we can't wait till she comes. XOXO-Erin

I voted today...and let me tell you...it was so exciting! Well, not really, it was raining and cold and this old man was standing in line behind me and I think he was about to cough up a lung or just die on me. Poor guy...at least he voted though. I figured if the person I wanted to win didn't then I could at least complain about it, since I voted. And I voted for Cedar City to get a new city pool...I was pretty stoked about that. This is the weirdest year of voting, I think. Everyone acted like it was the end of days if you don't vote, so I am glad I did. XOXO-Erin

I went to another Ultrasound and Doctor's appointment this week. They said that our baby is now 2 pounds 13 ounces. She had her foot and hands up by her face when we started looking at her and by the end she kicked her leg back down. I think we startled her. She looks perfect right now...she just needs to get bigger. Can you please explain to my why I have stretch Marks on my butt only? Yep, that's right, I have been rubbing that stretch mark cream on myself like I am showering in it and the only place I got them is on my used to be small butt. I have the biggest butt now with stretch marks. I am so glad they are behind me so I really don't see them all the time. They just hurt like hell. Give me a butt pad or something. Ahhh. My back has been killing me lately too...so I went to a chiropractor. It was amazing! Who knew that adjusting my back would make a huge difference. It cleared up my sinus problems and I can actually breath now. And that was just my first appointment. ...

Cedar City has there Livestock Harvest Festival every year, and we were able to go. It was actually really fun. They parades a ton of tractor's, Carriages and beautiful horses down Main St. The best part was the Huge amount of Sheep. I thought that they were going to stampede all the people but they did really good and passed themselves down the street. Now you all know how small of a town I live in. XOXO-Erin

Today is the anniversary of the passing of my mother in law and Nathan's mom. She is always in our thoughts. She was a strong, intelligent, beautiful and spiritual person. She was always learning and growing. Her legacy will be remembered through the naming of our daughter, Cheryl. We love her very much. I just wanted to remind every woman to do a self breast exam. You could possibly save your life. Breast cancer is still a very serious disease and can be prevented by early detection...and also by getting second and third opinions. Life is precious and should be lived every day to the fullest. XOXO-Erin

We are always trying to do free or less expensive date's. So, we decided to carve pumpkins. It was so much fun! We even got a carving kit and I got all professional on my pumpkin and carved a witch. Nathan did a great job too...although he wanted his face on the pumpkin instead of his carving of the cowboy...which was way scarier, I thought. I love to celebrate all the funny little Holiday's. I also had another Doctor's appointment. I am now having to go to the Doctor's every two weeks...it seems excessive...but I am getting closer to my January 10th due date. Everything went good. I just need to eat more veggies and slow down on my exercising a little bit. The problem is that every time I eat veggies I about throw up, so I really hope I will be able to eat those nasty greens. I am now counting every day for her kicks. I have to count her kicking ten times in an hour...well, she really exceeds that. She must be a gymnast, because she kicks me about twenty times in an ho...
