Update!

I can finally update this thing! I was actually just in the process of making a new blog since this one wasn't functioning. Every time I tried to do a new post it had an error of some sort.
Well, I'm 39 weeks and 1 day! Can't believe we actually thought he was going to come early. Which I will explain more of later.
So far I am not the most comfortable person. My back aches constantly, my hips hurt like no other whenever I try to sleep, the heartburn is insane, I can barely put my boots on, I can't lean my kitchen without having to gasp for air, I can't sit for long periods of time, I'm tired, I'm nauseous, the list goes on and on. On a good note, I know I'm going to miss feeling him move and kick the crap out of me lol. I'm enjoying being able to leave the house at a moments notice and only worry about myself, I'm enjoying being able to sleep in or take naps whenever. I'm trying my best to live it up in this lifestyle before he gets here :) the biggest thing I'm grateful for is, he's going to be big and healthy. That's the only thing we have cared about this whole pregnancy. I know I complain a lot about him still being inside but I really am grateful he decided to wait it out after all.
For those of you that don't know, I went into pre-term labor at 27 weeks. I was given the two steroid shots to develop his lungs and the shot they give you to stop your contractions. Lear up until this month I've had a couple scares where I had to go in but thankfully nothing ever came from them. So anyways, the Dr's all said that I would most likely deliver early... Haha! My baby boy is already proving everyone wrong :)
So for the last 3 weeks that I've been checked for progression by the Dr, I haven't changed at all. I've been the same since I was 27 weeks! Dilated to a 1 and 75% effaced. I have an appointment tomorrow and we are crossing our fingers Something has happened. If so I will update you all lol.
Lets see, I made caramel popcorn around midnight tonight so I guess you could say I was craving it. I've been craving chocolate milk like no other too. Other than that I think I've lost my appetite. Nothing sounds good /:
Something else has occurred that has been a huge deal for me, Logan has returned from ND :) he is now going to school to get his degree in Mechanical Engineering and is doing so well! I'm very proud of him :) also he is working full time for a trucking company that based out of Logan here and they haul whey from Gossner's to dairy farms. Majority of the time he's delivering to the Burley, Idaho area and the Idaho Falls area. It's really nice, he seems to enjoy it and he's home every night for dinner :) it's the little things. We are so grateful for the opportunity that he was able to find a job that pays well and is in his line of work and that's close by! It's been an answer to our prayers that's for sure.
One thing I have forgot to mention in previous posts is what I do for work, and since so many people have asked about it I'll just kinda touch on it a little. It's called Queens of Green, and it's through Melaleuca, the wellness company. Right now I am a Marketing Executive, soon to be Director. The only other job I have ever been as passionate about was when I worked at a daycare in Pocatello. I loved the kids and my coworkers like they were family. This job is a whole new level of love and appreciation. I've never felt so part of a team and I love that! My job is to help others and educate others about the products Melaleuca has to offer. They are all natural and so safe for you and your family and the best part is they're affordable! It's an amazing company and we have been so blessed to have it a part of our lives. We will never return to buying from places like Walmart, Target, Fred Meyer, etc. for our household items. I'm able to work from home and that means a lot to me being able to raise our baby and teach him. It truly is an amazing company. Even if we weren't making money we would without a doubt still use their products. I've never been so pleased with your everyday average stuff like laundry detergent, hair products, makeup, cleaning, vitamins, health and weight loss supplements, just to name a few. This job opportunity has been a huge blessing to us and we are in love with it and very passionate about it. I love to see the lives it changes when I have the opportunity to introduce my friends and loved ones to it. I'm also very grateful that it lets me be able to contribute to our income and give us that extra umph every month. Even Logan (a man of few words with this kind of stuff) can't stop talking about it and how much he loves it. We are in love to say the least :)
Well I have a lot more to write about but it's getting late and there is still a few things I need to check on so I will update more later! And maybe even some pictures! ;) we will see lol.
