Baby & Bump

Yesterday I had my 24wk appointment and all is good in the hood. :)  She is growing at a normal weight and is at the 51%.  And boy is she a mover!  LT and I were watching her move in my stomach last night.  I think we may have an athlete on our hands! 

Here are some pics of the growing bump....

This was little baby girl T in October:

Now look how mature she looks in November! :

I think she has LT's nose.  I can't wait to meet her in March!!!

Tailbone??

All I gotta say is why didn't anyone tell me that your tailbone hurts when you are pregnant??  I need a donut pillow.  Joys of pregnancy! :) 

Salish Lodge

Last Friday, LT and I went to the Salish Lodge for a little night getaway.  It was much needed after the weekend before of moving out of our Condo. (tear) 


thx bing

It was a perfect.  The rooms there are sooo cozy and I think it is a great place to go during the fall/winter and just snuggle up by your fire.  We woke up and had breakfast overlooking the falls and then in the afternoon we each had massages.  Mine was a Mellow Mama Massage.  It was AMAZING.  They put me in the fireside room for my massage and it was great!  If you need a little getaway this is a nice spot to go and get some serious R&R in.

Happy Friday Peeps!  SO glad the weekend is here.

Bumpers!

Here are some more photos of the bump!  I can't seem to find week 16 but here you go... 

Week 17

Please disregard all of our moving boxes in the picture.  Especially the "closet crap" haha!  That is a whole other post.

Week 18

You can tell by my face that I am thrilled to be moving out of our condo.

Dreams

So lately my dreams have been so real and vivid that I am able to remember almost everything that happens when I wake up.  I hear it's because I am preggers and the dreams can get really random!!


A couple nights ago this guy was in my dream.  If you know me you are probably thinking "why not NKOTB???"  Not sure why he was the subject of this crazy dream...but he was. :)

thx bing for enrique pic

 Luckily my dreams haven't been filled with scary things.  I wonder what I will dream about tonight???

Expanding

I feel like my belly expanded 5 inches yesterday!  Is that possible??  It was really uncomfortable, LT had to hear about it. :)

Grandma Ostrom

"Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete." ~Marcy DeMaree

That quote is a perfect way to describe my grandma.  Whether you showed up unannounced or she knew you were coming she would always be sooo happy to see her grandchildren.  "Would you like a 7-up or a Root Beer?"  would always be her first question. :)  If you said no thanks she would ask you again in about 20 mins just to be sure.  After catching up on what was going on in your life she would catch you up on what was happening in our family.  Family was everything to her.  With 8 kids(including in laws), 16 grand kids + 2 soon to be in laws and 8 great grand kids +1 on the way she loved being around us!! 

My grandma was always the life of the party. She was born on the 4th of July and you would think that the US was celebrating her birthday not the other way around!  She would start the dance party and even at 90 would get out there and dance!  She never disappointed when she showed up in her RED, WHITE and BLUE outfits.

Cannon Beach has always been a staple in the Ostrom Family and my grandparents loved going!

The Whole Ostrom Gang at Cannon Beach!

Some of the Ostrom Fam on her birthday 2011

When I worked a couple of blocks away from my grandparents house I would go to lunch there every Thursday.  I knew what to expect, a ham sandwich with a lot of mayo! :)  This was our special time together since it was just me and her.  And she did tell me I was one of her favorites...haha family if you are reading this!  We would chat for an hour and she would say see you next Thursday! 

She even made it on the cover of Women's World! (her fav magazine)

My grandma had the biggest personality and heart.  She also had amazing legs...I am not kidding.  Her legs at 91 looked like a 30 year old persons legs!  I hope I inherit that from her among other things. :)  She had an amazing sense of humor and would get the whole family laughing so hard that we all had tears!  She would come to your aid if you were sick, go to your sports games, all your graduations and support you in your career choices.  She was one amazing person and the best grandma I could ever have asked for. 

Grandma,
I know you were greeted with open arms by your daughter, our aunt Jill, your son-in-law, our uncle John, and your sister, our great aunt Jackie.  I am sure you guys have a lot to catch up on and will have some laughs.
I love you and miss you already!  I always thought you would outlive us all.  I am so happy that I was able to share the news of your new great grandchild that will be arriving in March.  She is going to know all about her Great Grandma O!!!  I know you will be looking down on all of us and will be with us in spirit for the rest of our lives. 
Love, YFGD ;)
