I almost forgot!

I had almost forgotten to make a post for this week! I was going to do a Valentines Day post, but with the weather nastiness, I completely spaced, and since my doctor is out of town this week, we didn't have any baby updates. So here I go trying to make up for it ;)

Valentines Day this year was small. There aren't many fun together things to do when you're 8 months pregnant. Not to mention our storm kept us wanting to stay inside. I know, boring! But I felt awful because I wasn't able to find a good gift for Jeff, we spent our morning picking up some pictures at Walmart and then headed home, luckily during the long snowy drive I came up with a great idea of what I could get Jeff for Vday even though he wouldn't get it that day, see... on the 7th of February, Jeff and his younger brothers and his Dad went to a double header hockey game at the "e" center Weber State was playing about 2:30pm and the Grizzlies were playing at 7pm. Jeff LOVES the Vancouver Canucks hockey team because he served his mission in Vancouver Canada. So he wore his Canucks jersey that I got him for Christmas last year, and his hat that he's had FOREVER. He also got out a crappy hat that he never wears to take in case one of the teams got a hat trick. Well he texts me during the Grizz game and tells me he's going to be needing a new Canucks hat... apparently, there was a hat trick and I guess when you're a guy... sentimental things like YOUR FAVORITE HAT... don't mean that much. He got SO excited when the player had gotten hat trick, that he threw his favorite team hat onto the ice with the other elated fans. I was actually sad because that was one of the hats I actually liked.

I couldn't believe he had thrown it and I was a little sad, and he realized he was sad too. He came home and was upset that he hadn't remembered to take in the other hat he had INTENDED to throw in just such an occasion, and threw his favorite. Later that week we were looking on a few websites for a new Canucks hat but they were awful, nothing like the one he'd had. Then, we checked the Lids website and found 4 really decent hats, even one that resembled the now, gone forever hat. So I decided to order him a new hat!
I'm glad we were able to find it! And I think it's probably the best thing I could've gotten :)

He hadn't gotten me anything either (saving money for a kid now!) and he looked sad, I tried to tell him I didn't mind, but come on. Every girl would like a little SOMETHING on Valentines. But I had decided that the thing that mattered most to me was spending time with my favorite person in the world, and that was enough.
After dinner Jeff went outside to shovel snow and when he came back he surprised me with this!
It may seem small to you, but my awesome man called up my sister in law and asked her to make me something special. He told her exactly what to put in the arrangement, cala lillies. My favorite!! (I guess he DOES listen to some things I say :) who knew?) It made my day! I haven't gotten flowers from Jeff since we got married, so this was a BIG deal.

Now for baby updates I guess. We're 4 weeks away. Actually today is like 27 or 28 days away from our due date of March 19th. We are ready for her to come! I still have one more baby shower and then I'm ready to be done! Jeff is getting excited to meet her, I am too! I hope she will be a good baby! The kicking motions have exchanged for squirming and every so often I see an elbow or foot poking out. I must say when I'm sleeping this is MOST uncomfortable, but when I think about not having her there anymore and the lack of motion and feeling of my baby, it makes me sad. Mood swings have set in! Ha ha! I hope I don't get postpartum depression, any suggestions on how to combat it? ;) We are going to the doctor next Tuesday and hopefully we will have started progressing slightly to being dilated. Last time it was nuthin! With as many braxton hicks as I've been having (some slightly painful!) I would hope they've gotten the process started.

We've still been trying to decide between 2 names, but she might not end up with either name...
our 2 favorites so far are Gwendolyn Jenae Judkins, and Chloe Blaire Judkins, although the name Logan has been tossed in a couple times. I wonder which she will look like, because until then, she is nameless other than Our sweet little girl. :)
