I'm really bad at this updating thing...

But we've had quite a bit going on this past month. Mid-September I went to my first soccer game, It was FC Dallas vs. some Canadian team. Obviously we won.  Ava kicked seriously the entire game, from the start when they sang the National Anthem until we left she was kicking non stop it felt like. Spencer thinks that it's because she's going to be a soccer player. I think it was the noise that scared her. But I guess we will see.

My favorite part of the game was at the beginning when number 6 slapped the Canadian player in the face when the refs weren't looking. And that was about it. But we did have really nice seats. We were midfield front row... and it only cost us $5 per ticket. Spencer got tickets from school. We might have to go after Ava's born see if she really likes soccer or not. 

Spencer has also decided that he's going to be doing a diplomate in neurology. It'll take 300 hours but hopefully it will help him in getting a better job. And it was something that he really wanted to do. 

More good news: I get to work from home after Ava's born! It's probably going to be really hard, but It's going to be such a huge blessing for us! I was so excited and relieved when I found out. Now we won't be AS poor as I thought we would be (so basically we won't have to take as much out for loans). But it'll be a big help.

We also experienced our first earthquake(s) the last Saturday of September. We were both almost asleep when I felt this shaking. My first thought was that it was Ava. In my defense she's kicked me so hard sometimes that I have woken up, but it didn't feel like those other times and ruled that out and I was like okay did I dream that? So I asked Spencer if he felt that, he had but he just told me to go back to bed. Then not even 5 minutes later we felt another big shake and there was a booming noise. It sounded like something that weighed a couple tons fell off our roof or like a plane had crashed and we live semi close to the DFW airport so I was freaked out and we went out to check and see what happened. Spencer was like it was probably an earthquake let's just go back to bed. So we did but not before I put my shoes and purse by my bed with a snack(a single fruit snack) and went to bed completely dressed. I was a little paranoid. But there was no damage and no other quake. Spencer made fun of me, but if there had been I would have been prepared and I wouldn't have shared my fruit snack!

I also helped with a friends baby shower, Just wanted to show off my oreo ball making skills:

They looked pretty good and I was told they tasted really good. Too bad I couldn't eat one. It kinda made me sad. 

And while we are on the food subject, we have gotten over our carrots phase and are now into apples. More specifically the Gala or Honey Crisp apples. I don't know what is up with this little girl. I thought all girls were suppose to like Chocolate. There are little candies that I have found that I can eat like jolly ranchers, or sweet tarts. Oh well, If I've made it this long I guess I can make it another 10 weeks.

Hmm, what else. I also went to the Hospital. One Saturday we went to the Temple and I was in pain the entire time, and had been for like 6 hours. So we finally called my dr. and he said to come in and check just as a precautionary since I had had some trouble previously. I had an infection, and it turns out I need to be drinking more water(apparently me drinking a lot of water at work during the week doesn't transfer to the weekends when I drink none) and I am a baby when it comes to pain. I hate water. I prefer my water flavored. 

I am also torn between wanting to have an epidural and not being in pain, or being in pain and not having a huge needle being stuck in my spine. 

So this week I got to see my little miss Ava. I'm starting to go every 2 weeks now! And we only have 10 weeks left! Hopefully less, but we're 30 Weeks! 

I've been measuring big at every appointment and my dr wouldn't say anything about her being late or early really, but he said that I am measuring like 5 days bigger than noraml. So fingers crossed to coming early. I kinda want her to come on Dec. 12th so she'll be 12-12-12. But that would also be during Spencer's finals. But she's head down so lets hope she stays that way. 

So at church someone in the bishopric had a baby a couple weeks back, they thought it was going to be a girl, and turned out to be a boy. Since hearing this I have been paranoid so during the ultra sound I had the lady double check. She's still a girl!

I guess Ava likes to be in a curled up ball position, because the last 2 ultra sounds she has had her feet in front of her face. . Either she's really shy, or she's really stubborn and doesn't want to take pictures. Spencer thinks its the last one, and if it is this little girl is gonna have to get used to Mommy taking lots of pictures of her!

This last one is my favorite. Near the end she finally moved her feet enough that we could see her face. It's kinda hard to notice and the nurse had to point it out to me then I had to point it out to Spencer when he saw the picture. But I love it! She was super squirmy, but at least she didn't try to kick the ultra sound machine like she did at the last appointment when the dr. was trying to take her heartbeat. 

Sorry it was so long. I'm gonna have to get better at remembering to update this thing.
