Are we there yet?


Makenzie has learned the phrase "Are we there yet?" and man does it drive me crazy, only because she starts to say it as soon as we put the car in drive. Just today did I realize that I have been doing the same exact thing the whole entire time I've been pregnant... I swore up and down that when I got pregnant this time, since it took forever and medication, that I would cherish every moment, that I wouldn't rush through it like I may have done with my first pregnancy.
But you know what, I don't feel like I need to punish myself for wishing to meet my children as soon as possible, I feel like I have enjoyed the good things about pregnancy, but I am also excited to be done!
I am so excited to meet the little ones! And I have less then 6 weeks left! I have my (hopefully) last 2 hour ultrasound next week and I can't wait to see them again!
Oh and a funny fact... I am 51 inches around my belly! Yep... that's over 4 feet!!
CRAZY STUFF

Easter Cake

These are a few pictures of the cake I made and decorated for Easter!! :)




Easter 2010

Easter was so much fun this year!! Mak had a really great time decorating and finding eggs. Here are some pictures of the special day!!


I love Easter, I love the expression on my kids face when she sees her basket from the Easter Bunny!! But most of all I love what Easter means to our family!! I am grateful for Jesus Christ and the life He led so that He could make it possible for us to live again with our Heavenly Father! I love the picture of Him once He was resurrected and left the tomb to see Mary crying there, He looked of great joy to tell her that nothing was wrong anymore!! I love this gospel with all my heart and I love celebrating Jesus Christ!! :)

29 weeks.. and Made it to April!



These are pictures of Ethan at 29 weeks! He looks JUST like Makenzie to us!
We couldn't get any of Emma because she was head down spine up... She wants to remain a surprise!!

Ethan weighs 3lbs 11oz and Emma weighs 2lbs 12 oz :) Big brother huh?!?!

I can't believe it's April! Makenzie is turning 3years old in 14 days and I could be having babies in 3 weeks... CRAZY stuff!

On March 30th I went to the hospital for contractions... I am glad I did because they got to 2-3 minutes apart and very painful. It turned out that I had gotten too dehydrated and it irritated my uterus into contractions. Fortunately, I was OK because my cervix wasn't shorting so there was no way they were coming that night... but I was in a TON of pain so they were able to slow down the contractions by IV fluids and rest.

Life right now is pretty DANG crazy right now...
Anthony now gets home at 1pm to take care of Makenzie so I can rest, which is a HUGE blessing! I just can't do the up and down anymore for Mak, it kills my pelvic bone!
Oh and not to mention my car broke down a couple weeks ago so unless Anthony is here I have got nothing... We have the part we need to fix it but we can't seem to find the right tool to use that will fit... It's getting old realllllly fast, I hate feeling so trapped!

When I right it down it doesn't seem like everything is so crazy but when going through it, it seems like a lot to handle... But all will be better soon, I am SURE of it!!
