Time to start counting down!

I am approximately 32 weeks along now...give or take a week or two. Who knows. My ultrasound last week showed baby girl measuring about 2 weeks bigger than my 31 weeks said she should be. So I could be farther along...anyway, my due date is still the 21st of April, 3 days before Austin's wedding! Yikes! My doc told me I can probably be induced a week before that. So we are hoping for sometime during the week of the 14th. It will give us just a little bit more time between the two big events!

So here's the "belly shot" from 32 weeks. I have been bad with this pregnancy and not tracked the belly as often. I think this is only like the 2nd tummy shot I've taken. I asked Jason last night if this pic at 32 weeks looked different than the first time around, and he said my face and tummy both looked smaller than the first time around. Haha...he knows just the right thing to tell a pregnant woman who feels gigantic!! I love him!

Farewell

Last week was really hard. I got a call from my mom on Sunday night telling me they were life flighting my Grandpa down to the hospital in SLC. Within 2 days, he was gone. It all happened so fast, that it almost didn't seem real. But I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with him those last two days. He was able to come home and be with all of his family in his last few hours. He was laughing and joking up till the end. We had some special moments with him, before all of the family got there. (we have a REALLY big extended family). I'll never forget the last thing he said to me. We were leaving for the night, and he was still awake and concious, and I said "Grandpa, we're taking off!" And he said "You be careful how much you take off!!" I laughed SO hard, and so did the whole room. It was such a "Grandpa" moment.

We'll miss you Grandpa! You were such a hero to us all. We will never forget your love for fire, explosions, burning things, yelling at the horses, rocking grandkids to sleep, your big bear growls, your prickly whiskers, and your wonderful sense of humor and your love for your sweetheart.

This is how we do it

So Makayla and I were coloring valentines (or as she says it "Bowentimes") the other night, and she heard a song on TV. The "This is how we do it" song. Let's just say, she sang that song or actually just that one line over and over and over again all night long. She loved it!
So we were just having fun, me chasing her around the house trying to take her picutre, and her running away from me saying, "don't take my picture!!" Great fun!


making sure it's just how she wants it...

The latest

Well, I suppose I should update on baby #2 since it has been a while. She's healthy as a clam, and all up in my right side, making my lower ribs go numb, which I never experienced the first time around. Lovely. So at all of my appointments so far, my belly has been measuring just a week or 2 bigger than how far along I actually am, but at this last appointment, my doc pulled out the tape to measure, then re-adjusted it, and measured again....then AGAIN!! She finally said, well, it looks like you're measuring big.
"How big? I've been measuring slightly bigger every time right?
"You are measuring 33 weeks today."
(which is 5 weeks farther along than I was...)
"What!?"
"why don't we ultrasound you in 3 weeks and see if the baby is measuring the same size, or if she's just positioned funny."

So anyway, I may possibly be farther along than originally thought, which I have felt all along that I was at least 2 weeks farther along, just with how I was feeling. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though, because right now, my due date is exactly 3 days before my brother in law's wedding....not the best timing. So if we can bump it up, even a week or two maybe, I'd feel better about things.

That's the latest and greatest. She still doesn't have a name...ugh. Wish us luck on that! Or maybe, just wish me luck that Jason will decide he likes the name I like!!

Birthday Girl

My little baby is 2 years old. I can't believe it!! Where did the time go? Ok, so her birthday was actually last Friday, but we were in the middle of a move, so we celebrated on Sunday at my parents house. Here's just a few picture highlights. Maybe a video if my computer cooperates. Which it usually doesn't when it comes to videos.

The dainty little eater. She absolutely hates getting messy. She picked all the frosting off of her cupcake with two fingers. Then picked a few tiny bites of cupcake.

Giving me a look for talking about her eating ways...

Let's just pretend I don't look all gross and tired...it was a long weekend.

And once again, Blogger hates uploading my videos. I don't know what the deal is. Sorry! It was a cute video of her picking at her cupcake while singing the ABC song.
