Owen Daniel--Sept 26th--4:22 pm--7 lbs 9 oz. 21 in.

Fall means birthdays, school, cleaning, and canning!

My birthday was Friday the 11th and it was lots of fun with ice cream and cake at work, followed by lunch at Bajios with most all the fam. Then Kent's brother and sister came over and we had orange rolls and watched a movie. Kent loves me and brought me this rose and some nectarines. I am also sitting on the recliner we got for a steal of a deal. It reclines, rocks and swivels :) Happy Birthday to me. The only present I didn't get was for the swelling to go away. I swear people told me by thirty six weeks the swelling would go down, so don't look to closely at this picture. I had to renew my driver's license today and the picture looks like I went to the dentist all over. I absolutely detest pictures these days. But I am very excited that there is only 2 1/2 mores weeks till our due date!

My mom was gracious enough to let me can with her this year. We did scrumptious, pretty peaches and flavorful salsa!

THis is my new best friend--peach cobbler--I think I will have you every other day.

Oh and we did do a good amount of cleaning the first weekend of September as we moved out of our old apartment and into a new one with more space! Yes! Then last Thursday, Kent started school and we both went to part-time at work. We also went to the fair and celebrated Katelin, Kassidy, Kennadee, and soon Kara's birthday!

Addition: Fall means hunting. Lots of hiking and hunting. 14 miles here 7 miles there. A bear close and mule deer miles away. Yep, how could I forget that fall means hunting!

Countdown!

No more how-far-along posts, its time to countdown the days until Owen arrives :) So 5 weeks give or take.

All this last week the baby has been hiccuping every day and almost every night, so we thought we pretty much knew where the head was-the left side. (It's funny because I told Kent the baby is already keeping me up at night and it was such persistant thumps that I got up and tried to burp him ;) by walking back and forth rubbing my tummy!) Well come to find out at my appointment last week the doctor recorded the baby as turned, this is what the nurse told me today on the phone when I asked about an ultrasound. She said I was so far along that the ultrasound was pointless.

So when I asked the doctor what the difference between turned and dropped was he said the baby is head down and even though I have to go to the bathroom all the time now, I haven't dropped. Anyway, he did an ultrasound and he said it's for sure a boy and he is still head down. The hiccups are just the diaphram involuntarily contacting as the baby practices breathing. This past week I have felt alot of changes and I definitely feel big and ready!
