35 Weeks!

Yes, another week has passed...only 5 more until D-day! It has been going by so fast. I did not have a doctor's appointment this week, but now I start going weekly...so it will definitely get busy. Patrick is in Tulsa this week at the ITA All American Tournament with 4 of the guys from the team. Baseball this week...let's skip that topic...as the cubs didn't even show up and the white sox are just hanging on. BYU got another win against Utah State! Another home game this weekend and it's homecoming! It rained all weekend which is fine because at least it brought cooler weather with it so my feet are not swelling as much:) I enjoyed my weekend by myself with a haircut, a couple of movies and a trip to Ikea! Patrick gets home on Thursday....just in time for another fun weekend.

34 Weeks!

34 Weeks down....Only 6 more to go! At my appointment this week, we learned that everything is still going well and progressing normally. I measured 2 inches bigger than last week although I lost 2 pounds! Baby's heart rate is excellent, although he still has not turned into position. The nurse told me that now is a good time to start having happy turning thoughts. I have been working a lot trying to wrap everything up prior to my maternity leave. Patrick has also been working a lot, practicing and conditioning with the team, getting ready for the fall tournaments and another great season. We have also continued to prepare for Jack's arrival...buying diapers, binkies, bottles, etc. We also enlisted the pediatrician that will make sure that he is in good working order upon his birthday. I am starting to feel a little more uncomfortable...hopefully it has just been a bad couple of days...not sleeping, swelling feet and terrible indigestion. It will all be worth it for sure when we meet our little Jack!

33 Weeks!

Yes...I have made it to 33 Weeks! Only 7 more weeks to D-Day...but whose counting? I am happy to report that I am still feeling comfortable. I bought a bassinet on Craigslist this week (another great find!). It is too cute....luckly the cat does not find this as exciting as the Pack and Play. Outfits are still arriving occasionally from my newfound Ebay addition. No tennis this weekend. Go BYU...another big football win on Saturday against Wyoming! Good for the Cubbies...for locking in the division. Patrick and I enjoyed a nice a relaxing one. Ventured to Park City on Sunday for a picnic brunch and the Farmer's Market.

32 Weeks!

32 Weeks! I am (or should I say Jack is) getting bigger as you can see. This pink shirt is one of my work favs! Cheryl scoped it out at Target and told me how cute it was...of course I had to have two...one in pink and one in black! I can always count on Cheryl for shopping secrets! At my appointment this week (every 2 weeks now), I measured 32.5 inches and gained quite a bit of weight again (4 pounds)! Everything is still going really well and progressing normally! Thank goodness God is sending good weather to Utah as it has not been as hot as usual and I have not had much swelling trouble. A good old home tennis weekend with the BYU Open!...it is good to be back into the swing of things. A huge BYU home football win on sat against UCLA (59 - 0!!!). Fiesta Bowl here we come.

30 Weeks!

I am officially in my 3rd Trimester....30 weeks down...10 more to go! At my monthly appointment I gained a whopping 7 pounds! Hopefully Jack gained at least half of them! School started at BYU so Patrick has been busy with that getting ready for another good season! I have been buying some cute outfits on Ebay. I also found one of the strollers we wanted on Craigslist for a great deal of course! We have been setting up some of the baby gear to give Nobell some time to explore and adjust. Problem is she just loves the Pack and Play and jumps in it anytime she can! Now that I made my last trip to Chicago for the year...I am Utah bound until D day! Patrick and I went to the Northern Iowa football game on Saturday as well as a volleyball game and a soccer game over the weekend. Go Cougars!

The Reist Family Reuion on August 23

On my 2nd weekend extension...I got to spend time with family on the Reist side. My NaNa and PaPa were up from Florida, staying with my Uncle Brian and Aunt Patti for a couple weeks. I drove to Dowagiac on Friday night to attend the Reist Fam Reunion on Saturday. It was fun to see everyone and we definitely got some great pics!

Tegan's Baby Shower on August 16

My baby shower was so nice. I got to see so many family and friends I have not been able to see in a long time. It was really enjoyable. Good food, yummy cake, fun games and best of all great company. I also got a lot of nice stuff for baby Jack...the infant car seat, a high chair, boppy pillow, adorable piggy bank, some really nice blankets, some cute outfits, lots of gift cards and some cash to spend on the baby gear once back in Utah. My fav thing would have to be a cuddly soft green blankee with Jack's initials from M (my second Mom). I also got to meet Luke Christopher, Julie's new little angel and M's third beautiful boy! My mom gave me tons of cute stuff that she had made for Jack...very special!! Special thanks to my aunts (Sue, Julie and Tammy) for hosting such a wonderful party!

Michigan Weekend

Patrick traveled with me on my last trip to Chicago for the 1st weekend extension. We flew into O'hare on Friday and drove to Michigan to spend the weekend with my family. Saturday morning was my baby shower that my Aunts threw me....so much fun (see the next post)! Saturday evening was a Heuermann birthday celebration at my Mom and Jeff's house. Here our some pics...the first one being 2 of my favorite things (Patrick and the swing), the second one being Patrick with my cousin Ashleigh and the third one being my cousin Hannah with her adorable little Abby! It was so nice to see everyone and hopefully fun for everyone to "see" Jack! Patrick and I also got to spend some time in Chicago. We stayed with our friends Todd and Bronwen for a few days before Pat went back to Utah on Tuesday. The best part is that we got to enjoy sushi at Bobsan (one of our favs in Wicker Park)! It will be a while before we get to return to our 2 favorite towns on opposite sides of Lake Michigan, and next time, it will be with a new addition in tow!

Evan spends a week in Utah

Evan came to stay with us in Utah for a week in July. Patrick and Evan played a lot of tennis. We went to an Owl's baseball game as well as Park City for the day. Check out these pics from the exciting week.

24 Week Ultrasound!

We got to have another ultrasound at our 24 week appointment to see if Jack would cooperate more so that we could get good pics of his developing heart. Although he still was in the same position, the technician was able to coax him to move his arms and legs enough to get the needed shots to ensure that everything was progressing normally and developing just as it should!
