17 weeks~

well today is officially 17 weeks. i know i will probably regret saying this, but this pregnancy seems to be flying by. i just can not get over it. i realized the other day that when we are celebrating christmas this year, i will only have about two months left. that is so crazy. i don't remember either one of the boys going this quickly. i am always paranoid that something is wrong. the last few weeks have been pretty smooth minus my allergies, and so i always get a little nervous. i am ready to get to he phase where i can feel the baby move all the time so at least there is that confirmation that the baby is ok and moving around in there. but as for this week, this is what my baby website has to say about babyG!
Your baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born! Your baby weighs nearly 5 ounces and is a little over 5 inches long—about the size of a baked potato.
im am so excited for my next appointment. i hope the baby cooperates. i am trying not to think about it to much so that it won't drag on forever to get here.

It continues to fly by the more kids you have until the last couple of months. They take FOREVER. At least they did for me. I am always so anxious for them to be out. I am so happy for you!

Well... I'll just have to nickname the baby "spud" since he's the size of a baked potato! :o) I can't wait to get home and see everyone again! We'll need a girl's night!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
