34 1/2 week update:
The doctor said everything is feeling and looking well. Grayson has a great heartbeat and seems to be positioned head down already! I have another appointment in 2 weeks and then go weekly after that! It is starting to sink in that D-day is coming very very soon! Grayson has hiccups daily. Sometimes multiple times a day....my mom said I was the same way. <3 it
My baby pump app says that Grayson is about the size of an average cantaloupe (head to booty) and wears around 5 lbs. My doctor says the same thing, but I have heard that they can be really off. I am thinking about getting a ultra sound in the next few weeks to see him, but Matt also said they can be off by a lb. I just want to see him and make sure everything looks well. We haven't had an ultrasound since I was about 5months. It's about that time ;)
I am starting to get some right back pain. The baby is sitting on my sciatic nerve on the right...not cool baby Grayson. I have also had TERRIBLE heart burn. It makes me way more compassionate to Matt who has to take Prilosec everyday. I use to only have take tums at night, but now it is practically after I eat and if I lay down.....It should all go away soon and will be well worth it! If heartburn and back pain are my only problems, I still consider this a very great and easy going pregnancy....let's hope delivery is the same!
Here I am at 34 1/2 weeks...almost there!
This past week and a half has been the week of gifts! Hey I am not complaining! It feels like Christmas in October lol!
Sweet little blanket that a friend from El Paso sent us. I love it! Thank you Lourdes! It is beautiful!!
This was a wonderful surprise gift from my lovely sister in law! Very sweet! Thanks for thinking of me :)
Neighbors: I know I have told some of you guys and talked about my neighbors on facebook...but I think everyone needs to know...I absolutely LOVE my neighbors. I do not know how Matt and I got so lucky, but we really did.
The man of the house, Doug, is the ultimate handy man. He knows everything that has to do with fixing, hanging, lawn work, etc. It is great for Matt since he is not so handy. Doug has mowed our lawn a couple of times because he is so sweet and knows Matt works such horrendous hours. This pregnant lady is not complaining. He has also fixed our possessed door bell and other things I am sure I just cannot recall due to pregnancy brain.
The wifey, Leiloni, is amazing. She is very crafty and just sweet. She is the one that introduced me to the public library. She helped me make my Halloween wreath. She is just a great friend to have, and she is right next door. They take really good care of us. They have 2 boys that are wonderful; they are very polite and also always willing to help. We do not just love them because they help us, but because they have become such great friends. We appreciate them so much! We really got lucky not just with our house but with our neighbors!
This is the outside of their house with their decorations. We hope we can become as festive one day....even Matt liked it...and he never wants me to buy more holiday decorations lol!!!
Jealous!!! They also have fog that comes out around the door. Those are little jack-o-lantern lights along the doorway....I LOVE the holidays even more now...festive neighbors...makes us less homesick. They are now part of our family. Grayson is lucky that he has some Oregonian family too :) <3

Matt's Minutes:
Matt is still on University Wards. I have to write his note for him since he is still so busy! He is still working pretty terrible hours, but he is such a hard worker and great doctor. I am very proud of him. He continues to get good praise and his attending pushed rounds back a couple of hours so that Matt could sleep in a little bit one day. That was really nice :) He is finally finished with Wards Friday, but then he starts really studying for his boards and has clinic next week. After that is the always fun NIGHT float!
I took him to the beautiful public library less than a mile from our house and he is going to go there to study and concentrate this weekend. Please keep him in your thoughts, prayers, or send good vibes for him. He takes his boards Oct. 31st and Nov. 1st. I know he has nothing to worry about, but he always worries.
This is a pic of the hospital Matt is working at right now...during WARDS
Here is where Matt does his Clinic rotations
