So I went to the Doctors office this week. It was my 30 week appointment. Just for an update. I have gained a total of 24 pounds this pregnancy, my BP looks great, my urine looks awesome, and the pain in my groins is normal, and the baby's heart beat is still healthy and strong. I was surprised though to find out that the office did receive the H1N1 Vaccine. They gave me some paperwork to feel out and to read and if I wanted to they would give me the shot right there. As youall know i was really concerned and i wanted to be prepared for this moment. So i have been doing a lot of research, weighing the pros and cons, and a dear friend (Lisa) suggested that i pray after making a decision and ask Heavenly Father if that is a good decision. Well I did just that. I made a decision to get the vaccine and prayed and when i went into the doctors office and they offered the vaccine, i asked a few more questions... got some facts from the Doc (like: if you are pregnant and get the swine flu you have a 50% chance of going to the hospital, and a 30% chance of mom and baby dieing). When i told them that i was getting the vaccine i felt completely at peace and not scared like i thought i would be. I thinks it's because i did do a lot of prep work on deciding what to do. The doctor also said that they were only allotted 20 vaccines at their clinic and if they use them all and submit the paperwork back they will get another 20. I feel very blessed that i was able to get that vaccine so quickly; especially since so many people at work are getting it or their families are and Cory working at the hospital and bringing home soo many germs.
So I have been starting up on some new things... Scriptures every morning, FHE, date night, and a scheduled temple night. So far I have been reading at least 1 chapter every morning for the past three weeks in the Book of Mormon. My first week i was really stressed and had a crappy time at work and at home. Cory says it's because I'm doing something good and Satan is working twice as hard on me... Now I feel so much better throughout the day, i show up to work earlier, and i love reading to Cory when he is half awake and half asleep an when i have a question about something i just read he can spit out the answer... he's so smart. We just barely started FHE.. we usually had tons of soccer on Monday nights, but now that my jr. high girls are done with their season, and Cory's city league is over, we have a few more free Monday nights. So we tried it and I can honestly say there was an awesome spirit in our home. I really really hope we keep it up. Cory has been super busy with work, hunting season, riding his dirt bike, Dragons, etc... i told him that i don't mind all his activities but that I wanted at least one evening a week devoted to us. So we went on a double date with the Robbins and it was so much fun. We tried to dress up and smell good when getting ready for our date. We went to dinner ( Johnny Corrinos) and watched a movie (Couples Retreat- hilarious)... It was really such a fun night, and it made me feel so special to spend it with my sweet heart! We have scheduled a night to go to the Temple this month. I hear that once you do somethign like that things will come up... so we are going to really try hard and avoid temptations as that day gets closer... But yet again i'm excited to go to the Temple. These few little changes has made me soo happy and want to be a better wife for my hard working husband!
Well Last Sunday the Sayre's did their Fall 2009 photos at Grandma's pumpkin patch. Such a cute little place here in Idaho. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Whoa I did not know those stats with the swine flu and being pregnant. I'm way glad I got it now. CUTE BELLY! Holy cow! I can't believe you are already at 30 weeks! When I saw you, you barely even had a belly and look at you now! It's amazing how one morning it just pops. Trust me girl, I never thought i'd get this big...and I keep getting bigger by the day. But that means it's a healthy baby right!? O, I have major groin pain too. NOT fun. Its worse than contractions!
You are so stinking CUTE! By this time in my pregnancy I looked like I had swallowed Kyle and was unrecognisable :)
here you are in your Fine self looking all good and prego...Just not fair!You look wonderful!
I'm glad is all well and that you got the vaccine and felt good about it.
I always try to go to the temple specially when I'm pregnant...there is comfort in that! It's like a security blanket!
you take care, see you soon!
You look so good! You inspire me, with all your scripture study, date night, temple night. It gets some much harder the older your baby gets. I will some times wake up early, like 7ish so I can have some alone time and do some scripture study, but on these days Kellen seems to know that I am going to be getting up early so he will wake up at like 6:30. You should check out my friends blog (Vanessa) she is pregnant and talks about a really bad groin pain, it might be the same thing. I am excited to see you tomorrow.
good for you steph. i'm glad you were able to have peace with getting the vaccine. you look so great too. how is that lavender oil treating you?
I like your pumpkin picture. You look so cute.
You are so cute! It was fun to see you at your baby shower last week. I miss everyone! But anyhow, you are going to be such a good mother. Keep on doing the things you are starting! We have a hard time keeping up with everything, but I notice a difference when we do get FHE in or read our scriptures! They are good habits to start, just stick with them because it's hard to form habits but so easy to get out of habit! That stinks! But I'm sure you will be so good with it! Glad you posted all you did because it makes me want to be better!! Thanks! Did I mention how cute you are with your belly?!
