18 Weeks and Growing

If you didn't notice already today is catch up on blogging day for me! I usually have nothing to blog about, but when I do I have a few things at once. But here is a wonderful exciting up date on my 18 weeks of being pregnant... Yeah! lol Well the morning sickness is all gone! I defiantly must say everyone is right this is the most enjoyable part of being pregnant! So I'm enjoying it while it lasts! My aches and pains haven't really hit yet unless I sit in a car for to long. She is moving more and more everyday! I still don't quite understand what people say about flutters in there belly but mine are more like popcorn popping in there or she's trying to tickle me. If I lay on belly I can usually tell where she is and Jaron will put his hand over her and can feel her move just barely. He loves it! My belly is growing at ginormous speeds! It's almost 1/4 of a inch a week. No joke! At first I thought I won't get to big I'm not going to be like my mom keeps telling me. I was hoping I would take after my Dad's mother and sisters instead of my moms side. No offense but they get huge and have huge babies. But the last few weeks have proven me wrong! Jaron was gone for 2 1/2 weeks and came home to a pregnant wife. He says it's so cute. Right before leaving again he told me that I was getting big and he saw it grow while he was home. I was like thank you I love you too! So the freak that I am, I get online and look at what people look like at 18 weeks. Well Jaron told me I was bigger than all the pictures we saw online. I was like Thank You... Again! Now my preparation has gone into preparing even more for the dreaded stretch marks how to prevent and how to get rid of them! For everyone that has been pregnant please tell me what you did and if it worked. Here are a few pictures of my growing belly. I must say thank goodness I'm not quite as big as the picture with my mom I was pushing her out there as much as possible because they were all teasing me. I have a few more weeks before I am there.

Park City

Both my parents have time share condo's up in Park City at the West Gate Resort. (Yes we all agree it is weird that they are divorced and both have them there. And no it was not split up in the divorce. They were both purchased afterward.) So I am going to Park City quite often anymore and I love it!! I was up there a month and a half ago during my dad's time. And this week is my mom's time to have it. So me and Jaron headed up there from the pumpkin patch and got there late Friday night and stayed until early Sunday afternoon. It is quite relaxing up there! I love going to the pool! It isn't quite as fun now that my time limit in a hot tub is around 10 minutes. (Yes I did check with my Dr. as long as I don't get over heated I'm fine. It's like saying you can't take a bath the whole 9 months.) I also love going to the gym. I didn't think I would miss my gym pass so much. Sadly I can't get a great run in anymore being 18 weeks prego with a very growing belly! It wears me out for the rest of the day so I just avoid it because yes I am lazy! I was able to go shopping at the outlets. I found some great deals for baby Alexis!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Friday Jaron and I went to the pumpkin patch with his family. It has turned into a great family tradition for the last 3 years. We went to the Big Red Barn in Santaquin and went on a tractor hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Marshelle and I even found a little pumpkin for Alexis. We really had a blast with the family! Afterwards we went to dinner at Los Amigos, the family's favorite spot for smothered burritos. I didn't charge my camera so I used my iPhone to take most of my pictures so they didn't turn out wonderful.
