baby crib!







so i finally have some pictures to show! i still can't find my camera connector thing so these are lame phone pictures but hey better than nothing right! so i have about 3 1/2 weeks left and i'm getting so anxious! and incredibly nervous. I'm scared somethings going to go wrong because i'm one of those people that have to know exactly whats going to happen.. which can be really annoying but thats just how i am. i can't wait to see her!!! we're almost all moved in which is really exciting. my dad and brother spencer came down this last weekend which was really fun.. my dad did another triathalon down in st george! he's crazy! but we got the crib set up which is beautiful! i love it so much. we got our piano tunned finally so i can play again.. and ammon and i spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday. i hate speaking.. with a passion!!! but we actually did a pretty good job. well thats all the news i have for now.. hopefully in the next couple weeks we'll have our little girl here and then i'll be posting about 20 pictures a day :)

crazy fun weekend

So. Of course I dont have any pictures to put. I really am terrible. I used to take pictures of everyone and everything but i've taken like 5 since i've been married. Anyways, two weeks ago was an amazing weekend! I got to go up to Orem and see my family. My beautiful sister Amy graduated from highschool. I am so proud of her. Even tho I absolutely hate sitting through graduations it was exciting to see my lil sis all grown up. Weird... That night we had a graduation barbeque with friends and family which was a blast! i love seeing family that i havn't seen in a long time. We ate alot of food and just had a blast. That weekend I also had two baby showers! I am def a lucky girl and Brooklyn is already so spoiled. Friday night my really good friend Talia did one for me and all of my friends. It was really fun! we played games ate talked and opened presents and I got some really really cute outfits and it just gets me so excited to have her here! The next day my dad participated in a triathalon! He did amazing and I was so proud!!! He swam 1/2 mile biked 13 miles and ran 3. It was so much fun to cheer him on and he did so well! That day my hubby and his family came up for the family baby shower which was also amazing. My family is awesome and got me some pretty sweet stuff. I got the crib that I wanted which is beautiful and is really neat because it converts all the way to a twin bed. I also got a stroller and car seat that I love!!! and the most beautiful bed set for baby brooklyn! I had it picked out and my aunt kristy and cousin britt got it for me! I got so much stuff and cute things and I couldn't wait to set it all up and decorate her room! Once its all done I will post some pictures. Ammon and I have gotten really good at spending money on a baby thats not even bored. :) Every time we go to walmart we always go past the baby section and I can't help but buy something. She's so spoiled its ridiculous but I'd rather spend money on her then me and she deserves the very best.. Except diapers suck to buy. They are expensive.. we've been trying to stock up but we added it all up and have like 3 months worth lol .. crap.. haha oh well! anyways I have about 4 weeks left until she gets here and I still have so much to do! I promise i'll get better at posting pictures!

33 weeks





So I am terrible at updating my blog and I apologize.. We just moved into our cute little apartment and love it! Its really small but we know its a great change for us.. Its crazy saying oh that goes in the baby room.. SO WEIRD. haha anyways I'm 33 weeks pregnant! WOW time has gone by so fast and I hope the next 7 weeks go by faster. Its starting to get quite uncomfortable and I feel like I'm in my first trimester again. I get like 5 hours of sleep a night.. I'm always wanting a nap but I work every day at 1.. so that never happens so i'm always grumpy and tired when i get home. Good thing I have an amazing husband who takes care of me. Brooklyn is getting a lot bigger and so am I. I can feel her wiggle very easily now and sometimes she hurts! I can't wait to see her and be able to hold her in my arms. SInce we moved into the new apartment we get cable! WOOT WOOT haha so I watch a baby story every morning and cry every time the baby is born. Its ridiculous.. I'm going to be a wreck when its my turn. Anyways here are some pregnancy pictures that I promised.. Sorry they aren't great.. I'll have to put some better ones later on.

Update!

So I havn't really had anything to write about until now. Finals are over which means school is done! I'm so happy and not as stressed out anymore. I passed all my classes except for one because I had a stupid teacher FAIL me because I missed too many days from being sick. Even with a doctors note and turning every assignment on time- he didn't care. F. I was really upset. He's stupid.
Lately I've been feeling very very pregnant. I'll be 30 weeks on sat! crazy!!!! only 10 weeks left to go and Brooklyn will be here. We've been attending the classes every week and i'll admit I'm SCARED TO DEATH FOR LABOR! we learned all about epidurals, episiotomies, the foreceps and vacuum thing they use and all of that fun scary stuff. If any of you know me-my biggest fear is needles. I want to cry when I get poked in the arm so watching someone get an epidural made me want to pass out. I started feeling so sick and it was kind of pathetic. I just hope that before I get an epidural I'm not freaking out because I can't handle the pain. The hospital doesn't want to give the epidural until your dialated to a 5 and i've heard its extremely painful before you get to that point. So if I am in pain I hope its not for like 30 hours or something. Anyways on a happier note about being pregnant. Brooklyn is driving me crazy!!!!! She keeps me up at night and wont stop kicking my side when i'm trying to sleep cuz she's trying to get me to move. She's so funny though, the other day she stuck her head out a little so i pushed it back in and then she pushed it out so i pushed it in.. she pushed it out so i started rubbing her head in a circular motion and then would go to the other side and i could feel her flip and go over there and stick her head out! SHE LOVED IT! ammon tried and the same thing happened. We couldn't stop laughing. Also, she loves otter pops. I start eating one and immediately she starts kickin and spinning or doing jumping jacks or whatever she does.. :) i love her and can't wait to meet her.
Another exciting thing that is happening is that the apartment place called!!! We've been living in this 3 bedroom 1 bathroom house since we got married and its been great but the apartment we are moving into only requires you to pay 30% of your income... So I dont have to work and I wont stress about Ammon making enough to pay for rent and all the bills. Its such a blessing that we get to move in next month right before the baby comes. Its perfect timing and we are so happy!
I have more prego pictures to post but forgot my camera so I will do that later! Anyways thats an update on us!

Birth classes and Brooklyn!




So yesterday was an exciting day! we got to go to our first child birth class.. i had no idea what to expect but now i'm super excited to go everyweek! our teacher is hilarious which always makes things fun. we learned about kick counts, the schedule, we took a tour of the labor and delivery room and stuff, we watched a video about different relaxation techniques to do during labor.. i will probably try all of them.. it was kind of sad cuz all the guys in the class were laughing at all the girls in the video cuz they were moaning, and sweating, and crying, and all that stuff...but it does not look like fun. we learned about pain.. and how to not focus on it and a bunch of other things. it was really helpful .. i just hope i dont forget all the stuff when its time for the real thing.. but I probably will.


Also today was very exciting! We got to go do a 3-d ultrasound to see our little baby! I'll be honest. I was kind of disappointed. The lady doing it seemed like she was in a hurry and she only had us scheduled for like 20 min. Brooklyn was moving a ton so a lot of the shots were really blury. I was kind of sad but on the plus side we did get to see a little bit of her. We saw her scratchin her face and sticking out her tongue and crossing her legs.. she was even in a position with her foot over her hand right by her head.. i was impressed.. she also yawned, and blinked! it was exciting! When she was being stubborn and not moving we would push on her butt like 5 times to get her to move and she looked like she was glaring haha she's a cutie. It is so crazy knowing that the next time we see her she'll be in our arms. only 100 days to go!!!

Marriage and Pregnancy




So I've decided to finally update my blog. SO many people told me to get one and i havn't done a thing with it. So a little update on our life... Ammon and I have been married for 8 months and I'm six months pregnant! Crazy i know. We weren't planning on starting our family so soon but now that we are going to have a baby, I can't even imagine not being pregnant right now. I'm 25 weeks along and we are having a baby girl whose name will be Brooklyn Mae Gutierrez. This pregnancy has been hard, exciting, fun,spiritual, emotional and a whole bunch of other things. Ive never been so sick in my life and it seems like its one thing after another but I have such an amazing husband who takes care of me and i know I couldn't do it with out him. Brooklyn is moving so much and everytime I feel like I hate being pregnant or dont want to do it anymore she reminds me she's there and how worth it its going to be. Of course I know being a mom wont be easy but I can not wait until she's here! Only three more months! Ammon and I are so excited and it seems like its taking forever! My baby bump isn't so little anymore and its still crazy to me that we're going to have a baby. She's due only july 11 but I secretely am hoping she's here at the end of june :) Our doctor that we have is absolutely amazing and has made me comfortable with this whole experience. So i'm excited for that part. We start birth classes tomorrow which will be fun I hope. We have some friends Sammy and Landon that are in the class too so that will be fun.
