Isn't that cool?!?!?! I thought so! I am glad i took belly pictures this pregnancy! It is really cool to see how much these baby's grow every couple of weeks! 
I had my doctor's appointment today at 230 and we did the usual. Listened to Houston's heart beat, louder and stronger then ever, then i was examined. I am still dilated to a 3 but i am not as long. So it's just a matter of time. She also used this Gel and stripped my membrain, so hopefully i go into labor by tonight or in the next 48 hours! Mom says if the stripping and the gel doesn't work there is something wrong with me! Haha nice i know! But if the gel doesn't work we are scheduled for inducement on Monday April 5th! So we are for sure going to have a baby by monday! But i really do hope i go in on my own earlier than that! Please pray with me that I will go in on my own! She said Houston is looking to be 6 1/2 pounds! That was really exciting to hear! It is getting very very close and i am super excited to have this little boy! Yay! 
Well i am totally frustrated! If you don't want your head bitten off please don't ask me if i am still pregnant, because the answer is yes! haha! I am kidding i won't bite your head off. I am miserable, tired, and now super sore because I've walked at least 2 miles a day for a week now and walked on the treadmill for 2 days straight. I walked like 4 or 5 hours on Sunday, and walked 6 hours yesterday! Yesterday i started having labor pains at 3pm and they were good and consistent. The contractions were about a minute long, and were 8 minutes apart then 7 minutes apart. So i thought for sure i was good and we were going to have the baby that night! Well lucky me, kept moving to keep them going and about 8:30pm they started to get slower and slower then eventually had stopped completely! I was so so mad! I of course am emotional and sleep deprived so i cried for a few hours last night when everyone else was in bed asleep. I now can't fall asleep until about 4am every night and I still get up every 1 1/2 hours to go to the bathroom and get a drink. So i am pretty frustrated. I have had contractions for now 2 1/2 weeks straight they just haven't been close enough together or long enough. I see my doctor tomorrow to get examined and depending on what i look like, i might be induced. I am requesting to be induced at least by Friday. My due date is Thursday on April fools day so fingers crossed i will go into labor soon. I am starting to feel sick to my stomach every day now and i don't have an appetite and that is probably because of the stress but i force myself to eat and drink every 3 hours. Oh and those of you that don't know at my appointmet week i was checked again and i was dilated to a 3! So he is READY" he just needs to quit teasing me and just come!!! Well I am going to go walk on the teadmill again, my aching feet and legs will have to forgive me! I will walk until this child falls out!!! I can't take it anymore! Wish me luck and pray with me that i will be able to go in on my own instead of being induced. Thanks and that's it for now!
Thank you Grandma Cyni for all my fun baseball stuff!!!So I had my doctors appointment yesterday and it went rather well! I let my Doctor know i was having contractions everyday now and she was really happy! I heard the baby's heart beat and of course nice and strong! Me and the nurse began talking about how my pregnancy was with Braiden and how different the 2 are so far and i told her how small he was when we had him and how he was even late and was that small. She began to measure me and said Houston is still going to be a small baby, but he will be a bit bigger than Braiden was. She is guessing he is about 6-61/2 pounds! and about 19.5 to 20 inches long! I was pretty happy to hear that! Anyway so Dr Browne came in to examine me and I am now dialated to a 2!! I am still long so i will not go into labor in the next couple of days like Mom was worried about, but she said I have a really good chance of going into labor by NEXT WEEKEND!!! I was extremely happy to hear that!!! She said she'd be really shocked if i went another 2 weeks to my due date. So according to her I am going to be a Mommy again very soon! But only Heavenly Father and Houston know when he'll come! I hope he's nice and do what Mommy wants him to do! My goal is March 25th or that weekend! I will go driving in a dump truck again if i have to make him come out! Haha
His dresser of clothes and diapers 
Diapers! I forgot how cute and small they are! I'm even more excited to have him because i get to cuddle and love on a tiny baby! Yay! 
Our Bags are PACKED and ready for the hospital, so we can grab them and go!!! I can't wait!!! 
And of course his bed, the same bed Braidewn slept in until he was about 4 months old! 
I can't wait to have my sweet baby in this Bassinet! 
What i really can't wait for is Braiden meeting his baby brother for the first time! And him holding him for the first time! I seriously can't wait to welcome this Sweet Angel into this world! Josh is just as excited as he is! He is such a great Dad and Husband! Josh has been so good on helping me and making sure i am ok when i am having contractions. He will sit and hold my hand or rub my back a bit when i'm having them and of course asks me the wonderful question, "Do I need to take you to the hospital?!" of course the answer is always no because the contractions aren't close enough together and not constant. He is so worried i am going to go into labor and he is going to be at work and not get to me in time to take me to the hospital. He calls me a lot during the day while he's at work to make sure I am ok and if i need anything! It is so cute! He takes really good care of me and Braiden and I am so lucky to have him! Love you babe, you are the best! Funny story from working with Josh on saturday! We get to the plant and wait to get loaded. We are out of the truck talking to Grandpa Tom, Mike Eaton, and the owner of the Plant (his name is Reid) and this puppy walks up. She's like trying to get my attention so i bend down and start petting her and Reid looks at me and says "eeewww don't touch her, she's a stray and she smells really bad! You are going to want to wash your hands! She's gross!" She really wasn't that bad, so i kept petting her. She followed us around everywhere, she was my new friend. Reid said she just showed up on monday. We get in the truck because it was our turn to get loaded and Josh says "That poor dog, she is so sweet and she follows me every where every time i come here. i wish I could take her home." and begins to tell me how there are stray dogs every where in that area and literally just lay in the street and get ran over or kill over from starvation! Just as i was going to say "I know she is cute, I wish I could take her home too" I saw her almost get ran over by other dump trucks 3 different times!! She kept laying down in front of the trucks like she was asking them to run her over! Just like Josh was telling me about other dogs and I got this overwelming feeling to bring her home! So i said "We're taking her home! On our last load we are taking her home! Mom and Dad will kill me but we are going to take her home and clean her up, feed her and find her a good home! We don't have to keep her, and if we can't find anyone we'll take her to the humane society and they will find her a good home! She is too cute to not be wanted!" Josh agreed and that's what we did. She is so so sweet! I didn't really mean to name her, I just went to call her Puppy, because that's what everyone else was calling her and I accidently called her Maggie. So that is her name now! She is a puppy, looks about 6 monts old maybe? She looks like a boxer but her fur is thick and has a little bit of the coloring of a shepherd, either a german shepherd or austrailian shepherd. I'm not quite sure. She looks just like our dog Krew (Boxer) but doesn't really have his head shape. She has his coloring, his big paws. Her tail is the only black thing on her and she has a white chest. She's as tall as my knee right now. We ended up having to bathe her with a bottle of Coke to get rid of the asphalt diesel smell. Krew LOVES her, Koda likes her, max doesn't really like playing with her but he tolerates her, Petie does not like her at all, but she doesn't like anyone, so no surprise. I told Mom and Dad i brought home a dog expecting them to freak, well I should say Mom to freak more than dad and it is the opposite! Dad is telling me the dog better be gone by the time he gets back home, and Mom is saying she looks cute and sounds like Krew likes her a lot because he has someone to play with and doesn't want me to take her to the humane society. Colten and Jake both said they claim her now, they like her a lot and said they are keeping her. Josh said let's keep her until Mom and Dad get home and let them meet her then take her to the humane society, but i garauntee if we let mom and dad meet her they will both fold and say let's keep her because they are both softies!! So i guess we will wait and see! Anyway that's my story! If anyone has an idea of what kind of dog she might be let me know!
This is Krew he's a Boxer
Since my mom and dad took Braiden with them to Arizona, I decided to go to work with Josh. Well it probably wasn't too smart to go if I am trying to NOT have Houston while my parents and Braiden are gone. The road we were on was super bouncy and i was all over the place in that truck! I started having contractions when we got home so I went to go lay down and rest for a bit. Felt a little better later so Josh and I went grocery shopping for the week. That night started REALLY having contractions, but they were too far apart to make me worry too much, so walked around the house, went to the bathroom, got home water, and watch a little bit of TV. I didn't fall asleep until 4am and had to get up for church at 8am so I was super tired. Since I went to work with Josh saturday I have been having contractions everyday but they are too far apart and kind of random so I haven't taken myself in. But I do have to say when i am having contractions they are pretty painful! I just do the awesome breathing techniques and relax. I have my doctors appointment tomorrow at 2:30pm so I hope everything goes well! I was talking to my Mom on the phone last night and told her Houston is getting really close to being here so she needs to hurry and get back home! And i also told her I am starting to have dreams of my water breaking and no one is around to help me and i wake up in a cold sweat!!! She told me to "stop, cross and pray!" and tell Houston Grandma said "NO NO NO!!! Not until grandma comes back!!!" I pray every night to have this baby wait until Mom get's back then to come! Haha, if i can only on until then I would be more than happy to have him!
I had a doctors appointment, and went pretty good! Listened to Houston's heart beat, loud and strong as always, was measured, and Houston is head down in the "READY" position, and i was checked. I am dilated to a 1 right now and my cervix is thinning very well. So now it is just a matter of time until he comes! I already have a diaper bag ready for him, and a hospital bag ready for me, just in case! Mom is going to AZ and taking Braiden with her, and she had threatened my life. "YOU BETTER NOT HAVE HIM WHILE I'M GONE!!!!" she says! I told her he will come when he wants but i will try not too! They are not moving my due date just yet because they haven't gotten my records my previous doctor, so i have to call them and get on them about getting those transferred, because i will be quite upset if i have to do all my labs over again!!! Everyone is doing well, Josh is just working as usual, Braiden being a two year old, and me... well i don't sleep....ever.... oh well! That's all for now!
Saturday was the baby shower! It was a blast! We had a ton of great food, lots a presents, and fun fun games! Thank you everyone that came! 
Thank you Montgomery Ward Primary Presidency for throwing me the shower! Really means a lot!
