No Wee One Yet :)
I am only 4 days away from my due date, but I feel like the wee one will be waiting until November 3rd (the new moon). At least I am hoping so. I am not ready to not be pregnant yet. I enjoy it too much, and will miss the little one being in there. Though, I do want to meet her and am also getting a little anxious to see her little face. :) I have been scrambling to try and stock up on things and get all of my errands done and bills paid ahead of time so that I do not have to leave the comforts of the mountain.
I had some fun on the set of the upcoming movie "Wild" the other day (Reese Witherspoon has the main acting role). I was cast as an extra (just asked on the street) and ended up being in 5 scenes of the movie. I was getting picked for scenes a lot because of the baby in my belly. Neat experience, but wow it was a long day. I worked 15 hours and ended up with crazy ankle swelling for the first time during my pregnancy, since I had to sit in one place for so long. Definitely something I won't be doing so close to my due date with future pregnancies. :) I didn't actually think I would get back to normal, but I haven't had swelling since, thank goodness.
We are still settling into things at the new place. It is nice and peaceful at night, and it is great having other women on the land to talk to. It sure beats being out in the country alone. We should be getting internet out there within the month. We have pretty bad reception up on the mountain, just like everywhere else that we have lived. :)
I guess I don't have too much to share as of yet! Next blog should be about the baby. :) Sending love to everyone :)

Moving to the Mountains!
We found a place to stay for the winter. It is about 45 minutes northeast of Ashland, up in the mountains. I have a good feeling about it, and we will have access to everything we have been wanting (shower/bathtub, toilet, electricity, water, internet). The place we are staying at has free-range peacocks and a lot of elk and deer. :) Kelley also got a job in Medford that he has been enjoying. He isn't getting a whole lot of hours, but he I am glad because I am due to give birth in less than 4 weeks now.
I had my 36 week midwife appointment, and everything is still great. I am ready to give birth now. And definitely excited to be able to hold my pee in throughout the night. :) I have decided to rest for the remainder of my pregnancy since I have been so active and all over the place. Running errands all day long and taking care of everything is wearing on me. I haven't had much downtime the whole pregnancy, and I can tell that my body wants it now. It will be a good time to catch up on some reading and cooking.
My Bug has yet to sell. I haven't had the money to fix the wheel bearings and sell it..so hoping someone will buy it at a discount and just fix it on their own. It is really a cheap fix..but I also don't want to drive an hour and a half round trip to get it done right now. I am really just ready for everything to be done and over with. I am truly just glad to have the Dolphin now and have insurance and title all taken care of.
Nothing else has really been going on. I was removed from the remainder of my unemployment because of government cuts. It has been a roller coaster with it really, being that I have been kicked off of it multiple times already, even after being laid off again. Oregon is definitely a place to make your own job, and not rely on a company for a paycheck. Kelley has applied for so many jobs, and only got one out of applying for 5 or so a day over a month. I really want to get back to Texas in the Spring and get the hours I need to transfer my massage license elsewhere, but I will need to be working for a company, and not myself unfortunately (Oregon Law), hence why I couldn't do it this time around. Ideally, I do not want to be doing anything else job wise.
I am still trying to make a registry list, but I would much rather have hand-me-downs of handmade clothing (knits), and warm baby clothes (newborn to 12 mos). If anyone has any of that, I'd be very grateful. :) I may be out of signal for a while until the internet is setup where we are staying, but will try to stay in contact. :) Sending love. :) My PO Box will still be the same until the end of December.
