Really..? That's all I could say this morning while lying in bed feeling my lil dude move around in my belly. This pregnancy has gone by so quick! It seemed slower than molasses when I was 3 months. And now here I am in my last trimester, preparing for our lil shredder to arrive!
I have been blessed with the most amazing pregnancy! It has been very simple, and not rough on my body. I haven't even felt pregnant, the only thing reassuring me that I am is the wiggles in my lil belly! Although that will all change here in the last 80 some odd days!
I have noticed a change in my hormones to say the least! I got a bit emotional the other week over silly things, and I crave.....JUNK FOOD. Blah.. I have done so well eating right, and now all I can think about is chips, soda, and chocolate!

Yum!
I have gained 12lbs so far in this pregnancy. I hardly feel like it though. My Dr. says the last tri on average women gain about 11lbs in the home stretch, I have been a bit below average, but still in a good range, he thinks I will gain around 8 more lbs- hahah granted I don't eat all junk food for the next 3 months I presume! ;O)
So many things have been going on the past few weeks, I'm surprised I am not run into the ground yet! We went camping for the weekend up at Granite. It was nice to spend some quality time in the outdoors with Jamie. We had such a great time! Did some 4wheeling, went on some fun hikes, visited the falls, did some fishing, star gazing, and of course relaxing!!
When we got back into town, I had so many messages and missed calls. I had a lot of catching up to do in my social life..blah. But a lot of good did come of it!!!
I received a new calling! I was called to serve as the Assistant Relief Society Activities Director. I am VERY excited about this calling! I get to serve with an amazing, fun, out going woman! And wow.....we are already quite busy! I LOVE IT! This will be a fun calling! My previous calling was Ward Missionary with my hubs. But there wasn't a whole lot of work for me to do. Granted it was nice to have a lil break, but now I am done resting haha.
So we finally decided on a name today. By now the name itself is self explanatory :O) It is Jamie's favorite! We had it narrowed down to Jonah, Noah, and Elijah. I come from a family of J names (JAMES,JASON,JACOB,JULIE- and there is KATIE my younger sister not a J, but heck the next letter after J in the alphabet! ;O)) So I was rooting for Jonah for the longest time....however over time Elijah kept sticking out in my mind, then I started hearing it here and there, and when I did, it was very special to me. It has officially become my favorite too! His middle name will be Ames. It is my father's middle name. He will always be a very special man in my life!! Of course like the huge dork I am, I had fun with his name, using NINTENDO fonts lol enjoy my nerdy-ness!
