34 Weeks

Here we are, another week down, and only 6 to go. Today at the doctor Khloe weighed about 4 pounds and 11 ounces. She is about as heavy as an average cantaloupe. She is still getting fat under her skin to help her fill out and she is still working final touches to be ready, like lung development.

Here are some pictures of me from today...sorry about the crazy hair, but I was going to work on clearing out her room when I got distracted by the camera and posting pictures.

The ultrasound picture is of her face. (Most times it is easier to see if you already know what to look for!)

Time is flying by.

Happy Festivus!

Frank Costanza: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

Cosmo Kramer: What happened to the doll?

Frank Costanza: It was destroyed. But out of that a new holiday was born: a Festivus for the rest of us!

Happy Festivus Everyone! Today is the day to Air your Grievances and compete in the Feats of Strength. If you are lucky (or maybe a little bit unlucky), you might even get a Festivus Miracle this year too!

Also, a donation has been made in your name to the Human Fund; Money for People.

33 weeks- only 7 left to go!

Yahoo! I love getting to count down! This week Khloe is loosing her wrinkled, alien look, and looking more and more like a normal baby. Her skeleton is also beginning to harden up. She should still be over 4 lbs and about 17 inches long. She should weigh about the same as a pineapple. She has come a long way since she was a poppy seed.

Usually when I am still, I can feel her movements. Sometimes they are BIG kicks and other times just kind of sliding around. It is pretty cool.


Today, Eric and I have been married for 3 years. We don't have big plans tonight, since he is still working, but we might celebrate better tomorrow or so. We don't really celebrate our regular anniversary that much because we are usually too strapped for time so close to the Christmas holiday, so we like to do something fun together in June, for the half anniversary. Even still, today is still a special occasion. I guess this is our last one without any kids!

32 Weeks

Yesterday Eric and I went to the doctor again. Everything was normal during the ultrasound. Khloe is still a girl, and looking healthy. She is just over 4 pounds and about as heavy as a large jicama.

Now she is gaining 1/3 to 1/2 her body weight within the next 7 weeks. I can't believe how fast the time is going. There are only 8 weeks left! Khloe has toenails, fingernails, and hair on her head now.


My next appointment is in 2 weeks, so that is a sign that things are coming to an end.

The Hoopers left on Monday, and Chris came in. I love having good times with the family.

Weekend in Mammoth

These are some pictures from our trip to Mammoth with the Olsons. We had a blast.

31 weeks

Khloe should weigh about as much as 4 navel oranges now (3.3 lbs). She should be about 16 inches long. It is crazy to think that there are only 2 months left. She will grow an estimated 4-6 inches and gain another 3-5 lbs.

She is still fattening up this week. She is really growing and moving. Last night was the first night she really kept my up with her movements and Braxton-Hicks contractions. Oh well. I guess I will need to get used to loosing sleep.

This week has been really great. The Hoopers have been visiting and I have had a lot of time just hanging out with them. Today, Eric is off work, and he and his dad are moving rolls and rolls of insulation out of our yard! Yeah! (In the summer, shortly after we moved in, Eric got around 30 rolls of insulation from someone, and we used as much as we could but there is still a ton left).

Our family is celebrating Thanksgiving together this weekend, and weather permitting, we will take the trailer to Red Rock Canyon for the feast and geo-cashing. I have never been yet, so I am really excited to get to go.

I have worked a couple days this week, and they have both been pretty good so far, even thought one of them was Middle School. I am thankful for that.


Take care, and thanks for reading!

God's Reminder

Yesterday before I left for Sunday evening worship and Eric left for work, we went outside to find an awesome rainbow. We were so close to it, I was not even able to get a picture o the whole thing. The rainbow stretched across the entire sky, and I was sure the pot of gold would be in our neighbor's back yard. It was a great reminder from God of his promises and I am thankful He chose such a beautiful way to remind us.

I know these pictures are not that great, but imagine a rainbow with brilliant colors and pretend you can see it across the whole entire sky. Then you might have an idea of great the view really was.

30 weeks

Ten weeks to go! 3/4 of the way there, 1/4 left! Khloe should be about 15.7 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. She is about the same as a head of cabbage. Her eye sight should be developing more this week, and that is about all the 30 weeks article says.

Khloe had her first trip to Disneyland yesterday, and I think she really enjoyed it. Just kidding, I know that does not count for her first trip, but we had a really fun time. There were hardly any people there, which was a big change since the last time we tried to go but it was sold out, and there were seven crying children in our party. This time it was one of the happiest places on earth. I don't have any pictures to share yet but I am sure Dad or Kelcey will post some fun ones soon.

Things are going good and Khloe is kicking harder and harder every day. I guess that is a good sign that she is getting bigger and stronger. Yahoo!
