My pregnancy

I have been so bad and haven't written about this pregnancy at all. But it has went really good so far, and so much faster than previous pregnancies. I was a little sicker at the beginning of this pregnancy then my past ones, mostly just nauseous and tired but I felt like it took its toll a little more this time around. Maybe it is because I have two little boys to chase around so I can't rest as much as I would like. The nausea pretty much went away once I hit the second trimester, but the tiredness has stuck around the whole time. Then about a month ago I started to feel super dizzy and lightheaded with headaches so I went into the doctors. My blood pressure was super low, like 80/50, that coupled with the lightheaded and dizziness was enough for my doctor to put me on disability and said I couldn't drive on the highway any more. So that was a little bit of a challenge for a few weeks. We had to rearrange a some things and I had to stop working earlier than I was planning but we actually wouldn't have been able to go to Fairmont and do all the fun stuff we have done this summer if I had still been working, so it worked out okay. Last week I had another checkup and my blood pressure seems to be better so as long as I am feeling okay I get to drive now. Yeah! I also got to have another ultrasound to check on the baby and make sure everything was good and to check on my plecenta which was lying a little low in the previous ultrasound. Alli got to come with me, so that was kinda fun, and everything looks great!! The baby is healthy and moving like crazy! 
The boys call the baby Mr. SeaMonkey, which is kinda cute. Laiken talks about Mr. SeaMonkey very affectionately so we are hoping he will embrace being a big brother once the time comes. Syler of course is very excited for the baby, he makes sure he gives the baby and hug and kiss each night after prayers and prays for it regularly.
Here are a few pictures from fairmont at 31 weeks.
