Utah Trip Part Two.

K- I totally sucked at taking pictures this trip. I told myself I would be better, but I wasn't. Oh well.

We had an awesome trip though!
We got to watch Carson play a football game, which they rocked by the way.
Drank hot chocolate on a cold fall night.
Had a fire with friends and enjoyed all the fall colors.

I finally got my hair done... woohoo!!
And my baby shower went perfectly!!

Headed to the baby shower!

I am mostly bummed I don't have more pictures from my shower but when you're visiting its hard to remember to take pictures. But I do have a couple. Colton wasn't going to stay for the shower but all of my cousins were so excited that he was finally in Utah, he ended up getting suckered in to staying and playing with a bunch of rowdy kids the full 3 hours. He loves it though, he loves those kids and they totally love him right back.

I loved being able to spend some time with Aspen and Felix too! He is getting so big! It makes me sad but it's so fun at the same time.

Buster really liked Felix lol.

One of my favorite things about the trip is we finally got to bring Tuf back to Texas. With all of our moving around the past two months, he has been staying with Colt's family. His poor mom is a saint to take care of him. She is so good to us. I don't know what we would do without her. Tuf is having fun here though and was so good on the 24 hour car ride home.

Now I am just trying to get everything caught up and cleaned from the trip. I have laundry like crazy and so much to put away. Unpacking is the worst for me. But we are getting it done. It's hard coming back here after such a fun trip and being with everyone. It definitely makes us grateful for our families and friends. But we are settling back in and finally getting things ready for Tag!! :)

31 week update.

31 Weeks

What is new this week?
We are on vacation in Utah. We are getting to enjoy fall for a couple days, visit friends and family and have my baby shower!! It'll be almost 60 hours driving this week so that sucks, but it's totally worth it!

How big is the baby? According to our baby app he is between about 18 inches and approx 4.4 lbs.

Weight Gain: Well because I was sick at the beginning and lost weight I am now 4 pounds more than when I started the pregnancy...

Maternity Clothes?
Definitely. Still wear some normal tops and I have a couple pairs on pants that I can squeeze into that aren't maternity but I am definitely transitioning into full-time maternity wear.

Sleep?
Very interrupted. I have been getting leg cramps that kill! So that wakes me up, and bathroom trips of course.

Best Moment of the Week?
Definitely being in Utah and getting to visit our friends and family.

Food Cravings/Aversions:
Still milk but now its chocolate milk. But it has be with hershey syrup. I know, super healthy right? But it's the only kind that tastes good right now and I crave it like crazy. I did throw up on Sunday morning before we started our road trip but I ate a tangerine with chocolate milk. Colton just laughed at me... like, "Really Jessa, what did you expect to happen with that combination?" LOL it just sounded good!

Movement:
All the time, and its getting very painful. Last night was the first night that he actually woke me up because he was hurting me so bad just wiggling. But I am grateful that he is. 9 more weeks.

What I miss?
Just being comfortable and uninterrupted sleep.

What I'm Looking forward to?
My baby shower tomorrow and finally getting to get all of our baby stuff together and set up.

Utah Trip Part One

Colt and I got lucky and are able to make a trip home for a couple days.
I am so excited.
We were able to stop and stay a night in Page, Arizona at my best friend Carissa's house on our way home. I wish I would have taken pictures but I totally forgot. Carissa is due two days after me so it was really fun to be together and compare pregnant stories. Her 3 year old daughter Addi is hilarious. She was so excited for company. I think it made Colton want a girl even more.
Before bed Carissa told Addi to say goodnight. She came to me and said goodnight. I said goodnight and she looked at me and said no I'm not talking to you. Then she looked at my belly and says, "Goodnight baby Tag. I hope you have a good slumber party in your mom Jessa's belly." It was so funny!

I have tried to take pictures but haven't been as good as I like. We are in St. George right now. We are heading to Heber today. I can't wait to...

-See our dog Tuf and bring him back to Texas.
-See Trent, Aspen, and little Felix. FaceTime isn't cutting it. I need real time!
-Watch Colton's brother Carson play a football game. He has wanted us to watch all year so we glad we will be home to see him play.
-See friends and family of course.
-FALL COLORS. Texas has none.
-Cooler weather, it'll be a nice break from the heat!
-Hot Chocolate from the One Stop. {a tradition for Colton and I}
-I finally get to get my hair done! I've been scared to go to someone new in San Antonio. It's in desperate need.
-MY BABY SHOWER.

I will be better with pictures {hopefully} but these are a few from our trip so far.

Fuelin up for the drive. He's cute.

Taking a little break in Arizona.

Stretchin our legs... driving 28 hours at 31 weeks pregnant isn't the best for my back or tailbone!!

We got lucky driving with General Conference sessions. It made the 13 hours we drove on Sunday go a lot quicker! I loved the morning session especially. Amazing talks.
