Six Weeks Left!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! We went up north. Probably our last time to do so with no baby and all the belongings. :) We had tons and tons of food. Kyson of course limited my intake because he likes to limit how much food I can put in my stomach. But I did go back a few hours later. :) A few hours being after I discovered this fabulous recliner that apparently I was in such a deep sleep my mouth was wide open! ha ha ha. I never sleep like that. I was sooo comfortable I never even moved. I think every pregnant woman should own one! I know I want one.
Friday we had another baby shower that my Mother In Law through. It was for both Boys/Girls! We had a great time watching the boys find the poopy diaper and play games. I on the other hand tasted baby food for the first time...YUCK! How can we feed our children something that tastes so nasty!?
Today marks SIX WEEKS LEFT! I can't believe how time is flying. I have another ultra sound in one week which will give us some more answers on when to expect delivery if I am going to be enduced or have a c-section. If anyone has any grand ideas on how to move a baby from breech PLEASE tell me. I know I still have some time for him to move, but not if he is to big.

This week Kyson weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Last night Kurtis was so sweet and took me to see "Enchanted" I know that he was not looking forward to the chick flick but he did laugh once or tiwce! I on the other hand, LOVED IT! Very cute movie! McDreamy was a huge plus! he he he

Something fun for the Family!!

If you are ever out in our neck of the woods (Queen Creek) and you see this ball up in the air all lite up. GO THERE! We went to check it out...its someone that we used to go to church with that has totally decked out there house. They even tell you to tune your radio to a certain station and they have music and a Christmas message. WAY awesome!! I can give you directions if you want them.

Baby Shower

Saturday was the special day! My mom and sisterS set everything up

and did an absolutely AMAZING JOB!

The girls were all creative and decorated Onesies for me. Something I remember from my nephews shower 8 years ago and loved doing!

We played "Guess the UltraSound" and the fun "Diaper Game" when you guess what poop is inside! :) Also you couldn't say "Baby" all night. Which of course my little niece was more than willing to take my necklace as soon as she heard me say it. :)

My sister in law and her parents made this Toy Chest for us. They are going to paint it black. And Kyson will be able to use the top and front as a chalk board. Way cool! I saw this chest at Pottery Barn Kids and my sister-in-law made it. LOVE IT! :)

The Grandmas! I made them those shirts so they could be recognized.

Mikki-Doodle being her cute self

And precious Embry.

Thank you to EVERYONE who came. And those that couldn't make it, you were greatly missed!

The belly is certainly growing!

Not much longer, I can't wait!!

8 Weeks Left!

It just seems so crazy to me to think that in just a matter of 8 weeks our little son could be here! I am so excited, nervous, anxious. . .oh ALL of the above. It actually could be sooner depending on my 38 week appointment. The week of Christmas. Nice huh? My OB wants to do another ultra sound to check on his growth. If he is projecting to be to big...I will be induced. That means...Kyson could be here in SIX WEEKS! That just sounds so nuts to me. People have been saying it goes by so slow, not to me its not. I'm not in the "uncomfortable" stage yet either. I don't know why. I think I have small ribs. I mean don't get me wrong, days that I walk for a long time my back hurts and my feet always hurt. But my back pain isn't more than my normal pain that I had before being pregnant. I am probably just jinxing myself by saying this but oh well. The nursery still isn't done but we have time. We just need to put up the chair rail and then I can decorate and it will be done. My Baby Shower is this Saturday! I am sooo excited! The girls are so creative, I can't wait to see what they have planned.

Kyson has been a mover and a shaker these days. He loves to stick to my right side. Two nights ago he was stretching and I think I felt his head! Unless he has changed positions. (Which I hope he does soon, no breech babies please!) Last night he was moving and Kurtis wanted to see if he could hear his heartbeat. He had his head on my tummy for about 5secs when Kyson kicked him in the ear. It was rather funny! Kurtis says he is going to tell Kyson that when he gets older. No Dr appointments this week. We have our second to last birthing class tonight. They are two hours long. I'm not sure what tonights will be one. Last week we watched some pretty graphic movies. All I have to say, the human body..the WOMAN'S body..is absolutely amazing. Birth is definitely a miracle. I haven't done that yet but I can see how truly amazing it is going to be.

A little UpDate on Kurtis: He is definitely hard at work. It seems he just can't sit down long enough to relax these days. With having two employees and so many jobs all over it is tough some days. But he is amazing and he gets it all done in a timely fashion. He did manage to take two days off last week and go hunting. His dad was drawn for deer up near St. Johns. Sadly they had no success but he enjoyed every minute with his Dad(s) and brothers. The very next day he sent me beautiful pink roses to my work. They smell amazing and are currently on my kitchen table.

While Kurtis was gone I got a little case of "Nesting". One room especially that I tackled was his office. I don't think we have seen the carpet in there since before we moved in. :) I just love to open the door and stare. I just hope he can keep up with it. I did ALL the laundry so much that we ran out of hangers...so I went through OLD clothes and am going to either sell or donate them. Yes I hope to get to my pre pregnancy weight but hey I can just get new clothes! :) I hope to lose ALOT of weight because even before I was pregnant I needed to lose weight.

KARISSA SHEPHERDS LIFESTYLE

1. At night I have to check the garage and all the doors at least 5 times to make sure that we locked them. I don't know if Kurtis has gone out and I didn't notice so I will sometimes make him go and check when we both lay down for bed or if I am the last one up I HAVE to check.

2. I love RANCH! I could eat it with anything. Dip my sandwhich in it, chips, veggies you name it.

3. The toilet paper roll has to put on right. The paper needs to hang over not under, and it bugs me when people are to lazy to actually put the roll on the holder! Its not that hard people!

4. I have a certain order of things that I like placed in my house. I can walk into a room and see that something has been moved and I have to put it back to the way I like it. Move my candle and I will notice that its 1 inch over than it should be!!

5. I have to have a nail file with me at all times. A hang nail bugs the CRAP out of me!

6. I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with Greys Anatomy. It is a unhealthy obsession I can admit to that. But I just can't help it. McDreamy is just so...DREAMY! :) The characters are great! I own seasons 1-3 and I have watched seasons 1 & 2 probably three times each. Season three just once since I have been busy this year. I own the board game and I have the calendar!

I have to say that this was pretty darn hard for me. I couldn't think!!
