Getting Excited!

While everyone is getting excited for a little movie called "New Moon"... (blah)

I am getting excited for Black Friday!!

I have gone every year since I was 15 with my aunt and cousins. It's tradition! And even though I am crazy to support this mad chaos of consumerism - especially when it starts around 4 am... I can't wait!! One more week. I almost had the misfortune of having to work on one of my favorite days of the year, but a sweet girl traded me. I owe her BIG TIME.

I have recently been addicted to this website which has given me access to all the ads before hand so I can already plan my purchases. God bless the Internet!

I know... I'm crazy.

Baby Shower!

My friends from college threw me a baby shower last Saturday which was lots of fun. I feel like I have a little jump start on the baby stuff now since all I have really purchased so far is my adorable baby bedding!We played a few games, here is where I had to guess all the baby items in the bag. (I did pretty good!)
And here I am with all the good stuff! I got lots of clothes, toys, a book and stuffed animal, a blanket with matching sheet, a cart insert for baby to sit, and my Boppy pillow! I am so grateful for my cute friends!

I've got quite a collection of clothes already!

In other Cannon news, we have been trying to organize and get rid of a lot of things in order to re-paint, and re-carpet the nursery. It has been a long ordeal trying to haul things to DI and and the trash can. And between me working a lot, and Chris getting sick so much (he needs a better immune system before the baby comes!) it has been difficult. But hopefully we will paint in the next couple of weeks so we can get that carpet!

And here I am 25 weeks and feeling bigger every day!

Why I Hate Driving

I was driving home after a LONG night shift, therefore I was already a little irritated. And you know when you are already irritated every tiny little minute thing that could possibly bug you does! Well that is what happened. So as I was driving, I was noticing how terrible drivers really are. C'mon people. Nobody is perfect, but let us at least try to make the world a little bit better.

So here is what was totally irritating me:

People who don't signal. I understand if you are in the middle of nowhere and you don't signal to move lanes because NOBODY would see you, therefore rendering it useless. But please don't just all of the sudden drift into my lane giving me no preparation so I then have to slam on my breaks to avoid rear ending you since it would be "my fault" costing me lots of money and my insurance premiums would increase. So next time... just let me know that you are coming over!

Running through an orange light. This means between a yellow and a red. Guess what... they put up a yellow light on purpose. When I was in San Fransisco, the second the light turns red, the opposing light turns green. SO if you ran it, you would likely get into an accident. But here in Utah, there is a delay between when the light turns red, and the opposing light turns green therefore training us all to run orange or even red lights. I too have been guilty of doing this on occasion. I blame the system. Whoever decided that making this delay would be safer, just created bad habits from us all!

Road block. I need to merge over so I don't miss my exit. However, Mr. Semi and Mr. Van are both going 45 mph and the car behind said Van is not letting me in (Even though I am signalling!) because he too is irritated at the road block created by Mr. Semi and Mr. Van. Just let me get over so I don't miss my exit!

Construction. I know they are improving the roads, but it is such a long process, and it seems as if the project is never complete. I think it is coming on 3 years that I-80 has been a mess! And it constantly changes so I never know what to expect. Is 13th east exit open or is it 7th east?

Thanks for the vent session :)

Happy Driving People!

I Feel Like I'm Getting Huge!

I know that this is my first pregnancy.

I know I am not massive.

And I know that I will only get bigger, and I have no idea what "huge" really is.

But just to give you an idea:

17 1/2 weeks:

20 weeks:Today: 24 weeks (and 3 days)
I have just ballooned in the past 6-7 weeks.

At my 20 week ultrasound (I was 20 wks 2 days), baby was measuring anywhere from 21 wks 1 day to 21 weeks 5 days.

I went to the doctor today, and my fundal height is measuring 27 weeks!!

But at least he is healthy, active, and everything seems to be great. That is all that really matters.

Even if he does come out 8+ pounds and looking like a 2 month old!
