This little camera I have does not do the trees and their amazing color justice! But lets just say whatever color you see....lets say multiply it by 10 in its vibrancy and beautiful-ness (yes I really did use that word! What you gonna do about it?!)

*Sigh* I really wish you can see how the real color of these leaves...oh well use your imagination.

I am a California girl at heart and don't get me wrong when I say I MISS "home". But I feel like I have honestly missed and been deprived from this thing called "seasons". Sure California, gets warm, cool, a tad cold, and hot. But there is nothing like completely clear cut season changes like they do here! WOW! It is breath taking and I will for sure be sad when the winter cold hits and all the trees become bare and are no longer, orange, red, yellow, and whatever luscious colors are on these trees at the moment. But for some visual stimuli this is is just what I see from my condo...some of the colors along the high way are more intense than these colors!

Weekly Update: 33 Weeks!

WEEK: 33!!! 7 more to go!

MONTH: 8

TRIMESTER: 3

GENDER: Girl!

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: This week baby you weight a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark whoo hoo! Your rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and your skeleton is hardening. The bones in your precious skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for you to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that a lot of babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) It is ok baby, I think you will be the cutest conehead ever!These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

SYMPTOMS: Besides the usual pubic bone pain and lower back pain. I now have KILLER heart burn! It is different than pre-pregnancy heart burn though. Also I now have cankles (they are so cute... not!) Also, have some crazy crazy dreams that don't makes sense!

CURRENT MOOD: EXCITED!

CURRENT CRAVING: Bean and Cheese burritos and Hot Chocolate!

CURRENT WORRY: As of now I am working on the final touches and making sure I have EVERYTHING I need before Mr. G leaves town.

Weekly Update: 32 Weeks

I know I know I am late on this, please forgive me :)

WEEK: 32!!! 8 weeks to go!

MONTH: 8

TRIMESTER: 3

GENDER: Girl!

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: By now, baby girl you weight around 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and you are about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in mommy's belly! Mommy is gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to you baby girl. In fact, you will gain a third to half of your birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. You now have toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz) this makes mommy giddy! I can't wait! Your skin is becoming soft and smooth as you plump up in preparation for birth.

SYMPTOMS: Pubic Bone pain and lower back pain so now exercising is out, sad.

CURRENT MOOD: The anticipation is killing me! So excited!

CURRENT CRAVING: Bean and Cheese burritos

CURRENT WORRY: Hoping Mr. G isn't out of town when Baby G is born!

Randomness of life...

So, I couldn't think of just one thing to write about today so I decide to write about a bunch of random stuff... starting with..

Here is the football game at Liberty University... the school was sooo nice and beautiful and this school has fans who are crazy! It was 35 degrees and these kids had their shirts off and body paint! Anyways, here is the start of the game where LU returned the ball for a touch down. It hurt inside to start the game like this...anyways lucky me got on video... enjoy the heart break! (btw we lost)



A controlled fire I saw which was super cool! Check out the fireman laying on the ground watching the house burn! Crazy!




Here is me and my BFF at my baby shower...we are a month apart! How fun is that? Too bad I live across country :(


Baby P is running out of room in my belly!!! I am really counting down for those of you who don't know that!!!

We love dogs!

Honestly, this was us and our good friends and their dogs on our tennis court!

Don't mind my obnoxious laugh...




This is a video of our full house for the weekend! It was fun and the dogs were all very well behaved...well ...one small exception for Sherman's small accident!

You can turn your head from side to side, and your little arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath your precious skin. Little girl you are moving a lot, too, fortunately i have been sleeping through your kicks so you are not keeping me up as much as the pain I feel.

SYMPTOMS: Pubic Bone pain and lower back pain so now exercising is out, sad.

Weekly Update: 30 Weeks

WEEK: 30.. and the count down begins! 10 weeks to go!

MONTH: 7

TRIMESTER: 3

GENDER: Girl!

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: Baby girl your a whopping 15.7 inches long now your getting so big, and you weigh almost 3 pounds!!! Growing big and strong like a good girl! A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds your precious body, but that volume will decrease as you gets bigger and takes up more room in mommy's uterus. Your eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after you are born, you will keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When you do open your little eyes baby girl you will respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means you can only make out objects a few inches from your face, which is ok lil one mommy will be up in your face a lot giving you lots and lots of kisses.

SYMPTOMS: Pubic Bone pain... its getting worse and WORSE and even WORSE especially after the car accident :(

CURRENT MOOD: Stressed, I am not a stressful person in general, but so many different things going on in life right now has me in shambles... just need to relax and let Mr. G take care of things so our precious baby doesn't come out a stressed baby!

CURRENT CRAVING: Hot Chocolate and grilled cheese!

CURRENT WORRY: Birth. Need I say more? About the birth you ask? Just in general it makes me nervous, I just don't want it to hurt!
