Well this was the last week of school, thank goodness. I have been counting down the days, and it hasn't helped being this pregnant. I'm so glad that I still have 4 weeks though becuase if I was due any sooner these past weeks of teaching would be even worse.
So Thursday was the last day for the students, I was amazed at how well behaved my last classes were, I think they were just as tired as I was so they didn't give me any hassle. :) Today was a professional development day and then we have to come back on monday for checkout, they added an extra day becuase of our snow day.
I won't be teaching next year, I will be staying home with our little one so I had to clean all my stuff out of my room. That was a little sad because I really love teaching. But it also felt really good :) I will be substituting in the fall a couple days of the week to make some extra cash. I think that will work out great.
Tomorrow is my baby shower for all my family and friends here in Las Vegas. I am super excited, I hope a bunch of people can come.
Health wise I think I am doing great. I am still swimming 2-3 times a week which really makes me feel better physically. It is really tough gaining this much weight, I have never been this big before and it doesn't make me feel very attractive. It doesn't help that people say the most idiotic things like "Hey Big Momma", "Wow, are you having twins?" "You're gonna pop" "You can barely walk" "should you be eating that?" It's like really, I'm going to smack the next person that comments on my size. I think I look pretty good, I just happen to be short and my baby likes to really stick out so yeah, I am beach ball size now. It's also frustrating in my change of clothes size. I've gained most of my weight in my bum and hips so it makes me much wider so I have to get a big size in maternity, then you see this size 4 8 month pregnant women with their perfect basketball round bellies and their cute butts, and you just want to kick them. :) Can you tell I'm getting tired of the pregnant thing?
But other than the getting huge part, it is fun being pregnant, I can't wait to see what my little girl is going to look like. I haven't had any health problems, no early contractions, or anything else, so I'm just hoping that I don't go over my due date, I want it to be on the date or before.
Oh, the one other problem is that my feet are getting all swollen. It really sucks becuase at the end of the day I feel twice as big as I really am. And if I sit too long in a chair or I walk or stand too much my feet become rolly polly sausages. Which is very disturbing because I've always really liked how my feet look and now they are monster feet :( So that is a problem.
We have kind of picked the name Eleanor Desirae Stender as her name. I think it is very beautiful and Warren likes it as well. But it could always change, we may find something even better tomorrow. :) Well, I hope all our family and friends are doing well and I'll tryy to keep you up to date with what is going on. Love everybody.

6 weeks to go!!
Wow,
it is amazing but we are at 34 weeks. I am feeling great other than the getting huge part. This weekend has been really nice to relax and get stuff done. Warren cleaned out the garage so he could put the dune buggy in there, we want to clean it up and sell it for some extra cash. Today Warren is out riding quads and shooting things with his brother and sister, Stephen and Laurel. Hopefully they come back intact.
We only have 2 weeks left of school. 4 days this week and then next week is finals so we have half days. I am just so extremely excited to be out for the summer. I am reading the twilight series, :) fun books but definitely very teenage drama. I have to request the last book in the series. The nice thing is that all the books are out so it isn't like harry potter where you had to wait another year or two in between books and by then you had to go back and read the previous book again.
We've decided on the name Eleanor. Middle name isn't decided yet, I was thinking Ann but Warren doesn't like that as much.
Warren went to Washington DC for a conference from last saturday night to thursday. He had alot of fun, but he was also very busy so he didn't get to do much sight seeing. I have been busy just getting things finished for school.
We celebrated our 4 year anniversary on Thursday night. It doesn't feel like it has been 4 years. I think it really is half that time, it feels like 2 years. We went to Townsquare annd had dinner at Texas de Brazil. It is a brazilian steakhouse, SO GOOD! Everything was delicious and the service was astonishiing. It is sad that we have such poor service in Las Vegas that we when you get good service you are just stunned. :)Little pricey but definitely a great place for a special occasion.
Other than that everything is about the same. I am doing great, healthy as a horse, no problems with the baby. My feet do get swollen at the end of the day, but it helps if I go swimming. I couldn't go last week but otherwise I have been averaging 2 or 3 trips to the gym a week for swimming. Makes me feel much better and gets some good exercise.
Oh, on June 6th at 3:00 pm we are having my baby shower. I sent out invitations but if there is anyone who didn't get one you are invited to come. I will post a copy of the baby shower inviation on here and I would love for more people to come, it will be alot of fun.

28 weeks!
Wow,
I can't believe we are at 28 weeks. We still haven't picked a name but here is a list of names I like at the moment:
1. Eudora
2. Evianna
3. Lila
4. Liliana
5. Olive :)
6. Eleanor
But don't quote me on any of those because we still have a ways to go and I am not set on anything. I am feeling Great! Our little girl is super active now, I like it in the morning when I roll over and she gets all upset and pushes everywhere, it makes me smile.
The baby room is coming along nicely. We painted it yellow and I am working on a mural, I will post some photos when it is done or atleast closer to being done.
I bought my maternity swimming suit so I have been swimming this week which makes me feel great and doesn't make me sore, so I will keep that up.
We bought the Wii fit and have been having fun with that, Warren has been working on losing some weight. :) He didn't like the sympathy weight he was gaining. I am trying not to gain too much more weight because I think I gained it a little fast in the beginning so I am getting up past what I want to be.
I am ready for school to be out, both I and the students have spring fever so it is getting pretty frustrating. On May 2nd I will be going to CA for my in laws Sewing get together with the ladies, we will also be having my baby shower. Then in June I will have the baby shower with people here in Vegas. My sister Judy has already happily loaded me up with all of her baby stuff so I don't think we will have a shortage of baby stuff.
I think that is pretty much everything going on, I hope everyone else is doing great.

1st Baby feeling!
On Thursday night Warren and I were in bed and Warren asked if I had felt the baby yet. I didn't really know, I mean it could be some bubbles or something. So Warren put his hand on my belly and we both held real still...and he felt a bump! A kind of gently nudging, so then I felt it and it was so breath taking. It made me feel like Wow I have a little person inside of me, it made it much more real. So then I couldn't fall asleep so I had my hands on my belly and Womp!! felt a good kick right against my hand and a couple seconds later there it was again. I started laughing because it suprised me so much. So then Warren had to feel it and he got one good kick and then the baby settled down. :) Then I had a really hard time falling asleep. It is just very exciting. This week we will find out if it is a girl or a boy. I don't have a real idea of what we are having so it will be fun either way.

18 week photo
Yep, so this is what I look like at 18 weeks. Warren is pretty excited that I am showing, and now I have to wear my loose pants or maternity pants. It is fun. I am trying to get in some exercise like 3 times a week so I don't get too flabby.

Everything is good!
Well I am at 18 weeks this week and everything is going pretty awesome. I have my second doctors appointment on Thursday and then my ultrasound to find out the baby's sex is on the 18th. My doctor wanted to wait till 20 weeks so that they can see all of the chambers of the heart. Warren is doing a great job on building a wall unit for our office so hopefully we can get some more things organized. I'm not worried about a baby room becuase the baby will be in a basinet for the first 2-3 months in our room. I went to deseret industries yesterday and hit the jackpot on maternity clothes. I got 2 pairs of jeans, jean capris, long jean skirt, 3 shirts, 2 dresses, brown dress pants,1 green skirt, 1 cardigan, 2 pairs of boots, and a pair of sandals. I got all that stuff for $57.00! I love D.I. If you have one in your area you should definitely check it out.
We are going to try to have a little super bowl get together with some friends this evening but I don't know if we will get anyone. Christine and Patrick came up with the idea but then we haven't spoken to them about it since then, and we wanted to invite some other people but I bet they will already have plans. So we will see how it goes. Either way I am doing a chocolate fondue tonight, Yum!!!

Ultrasound
Warren and I went to our first ultrasound on Thursday Dec. 18. It was a ton of fun! Our baby was hiding so the nurse had to push on my belly a bit and then he(we'll just call it a him till we find out) came flying around into view. I ended up being farther along then we thought so I was at 12 weeks and he was 2 inches long. My due date is July 4th! Warren is happy because that is his favorite holiday. It was very exciting to hear his heartbeat. The sweetest thing was that he kept sticking his leg up, it was just an amazing experience to be able to see our baby.
