Been too long...

My blog updating has gotten worse it seems. I used to average about a month in between updates and who knows how long it’s been since the last update. Hopefully while I’m on maternity leave, I can be a bit better about updating this thing.

I’ll be 34 weeks tomorrow and feel like my belly gets bigger every day. I can still fit in all my clothes (some better than others), but now have to hook an elastic around the button on my pants and wear my BeBand every day to hold them up. My heartburn/acid reflux seems to have gotten worse, so it’s been a little harder to breath and sleep sometimes, and my feet are now swollen, so I’ve been wearing flip flops or sandals every day now. Other than that, I’d have to say I’m doing rather well and only slightly uncomfortable. My next appt is on Tuesday, then one in 2 weeks, and after that we’re going every week. I’m a little nervous that we’re so close. But I’m not quite ready yet, so I hope it doesn’t go by too fast.

I can actually say now, that we have painted the baby’s room! We painted it weekend before last and I absolutely love it! We painted each wall a different color, which was a little harder than I expected, and we had a couple noticeable mistakes, but overall it really turned out awesome. We also set up the crib and arranged everything a few different times. I’m still not sure I like the set up of the furniture, but we’ll figure it out. I have to wait til my first baby shower to get my bedding set, and the stuff I wanted for the wall, but I’m excited to see it all put together.

Everyone else in the Whipp household is also doing well. Jase’s company has now split onto its own, so he’s officially with Myriad Pharma, instead of Myriad Genetics. He still loves his job and they love the work he does, so I’m very glad it’s turned into such an awesome opportunity. Not to mention that I love him being so happy.

Killian is still doing awesome in school, and we haven’t had any big issues in a long time. We’re still deciding for sure if we want to continue to do the therapy sessions, because they don’t seem to help him much, but haven’t come to any indefinite decisions yet. We started doing the therapy sessions once a month instead of every 2 weeks because it was a bit too much time off from work to work out with the baby appointment being every other week. The progress with adopting Killian has also come to a bit of a halt, but hopefully that will pick back up very soon.

About 3 weeks ago, we went to Lake Powell with my family. With the exception of the last day, it was a really nice trip and the weather wasn’t too bad. The growth of my belly was a bit inhibiting, but everyone was really understanding and I did ok. I got a little bit burnt the first day, so it was a bit hard to keep it from burning more, but I think I did alright. Jase also got a little bit burnt on his shoulders, but now it’s turned into a nice tan. Killian only got a little pink on his face this trip, but his cheeks still managed to puff up a little bit. When we got home, his pinkness started to crack and made him look like a wrinkled old man, but I couldn’t help but smile, he looked so cute! Considering he spent the majority of the time in the water swimming, and that’s the only thing he got, he did pretty well.

We were going to do another Lake Powell trip this week, but last Tuesday, Jase got rear ended while driving home, and his car now has to spend a month in the repair shop. We still have my car, and we were able to get a rental car, but decided that maybe it would be better if we were able to be contacted by phone in case something happened. Jase is a bit bummed out about not going, but we made up for it by scheduling a trip to St. George over labor day weekend. His grandpa and step-grandma live down there so we planned a visit. Jase’s parents decided to join us for the trip, so we’re going to see a show at Tuacahn, do a little bit of walking around fire valley and whatever else we feel up to doing. Should be a good trip.

The next couple months should be quite busy, but quite fun for us! We get to go see Depeche Mode in concert next week, got 3 baby showers going, I’m going to do a maternity photo shoot and make a belly cast, and my 28^th birthday, all before the baby is due. That is, if he comes on time haha. He’s due October 1^st, and my birthday is the 28^th of Sept, so it could be anytime around that. My wedding anniversary is the 3^rd of October, so I’m kinda hoping he comes in between that and my birthday, but I guess we’ll have to see how that goes.

Well I think that’s it for now. When I take pictures of Wesley’s room, I’ll make sure to post them.
