*****24 Weeks*****

Here I am at 24 weeks and doing alright. The baby moves around like crazy inside, and always seems to know how to kick my bladder when it's full. It feels like it has gone by so fast but this is usually when it slows down and takes forever. Well see how things turn out.

Were Still Alive!

Where my old gas fire place went. Darin took it all out in one evening. I literally left and went out with a friend and when I came back he had everything outside and this is what I found.This is the stove that Darin found on-line. At first I didn't like it but Darin saw the potential. He really does have a good eye on these things.

Just in case anyone was wondering we are still alive here. My computer has been really slow lately and it's been getting to the extremes with how slow it has been. Darin has been really busy getting a wood stove, and putting it into the house. He has been really consumed with this project here but he loves staying busy. So far he has taken the old gas stove out and found a stove that he liked and refineshed it. I think he did really well on the stove. It looks pratically brand spankin' new. I traded my car in and got a van. We were going to have to do it sooner or later with a third on the way. I love my van and Baylee loves the automatic doors, and DVD player in it. I like those too but I love having more room. Bryson loves running from the front to the back. We all like the new van and Darin isn't in love with the van, but he likes it.

20 Weeks

Here I am 20 weeks along and feeling alright. The doctor said that I can't run any more and I can only walk because of the stretching that is going on and the pain that I get. I try to get a walk in here and there. Bryson is starting to talk more he try's to say duck, ball, Baylee, cup, go, and of course no. Duck sounds fairly close to duck and ball sounds like doll, Baylee is more baba, cup is more pup, and there is no mistaking the go and no. He says those pretty well. I am so proud of him. I was starting to get a little worried about him not talking too much. Baylee is getting so big she showed me that she can make her bed of course it was only once but she did. Darin has been sick for a while and were going to bring him to the doctor today. I think that he has a sinus infection. I think Baylee might be getting what he has too, and that is what has been going on under the Frank roof here.

Ultrasound Pictures

I have been having a lot of pelvic pain lately and I don't understand why. One of the nurses at the doctors office obviously forgot she was talking to a pregnant lady and said that I was in pain because I am too old and my body is just stretching fast because it's my third. While the second part is right, yes it's my third and yes that is the reason why I am in pain, my body is just stretching faster, BUT I AM NOT OLD. For havens sake I am not even in my mid 20's yet. Anyways that is my little tiff and here are pictures of the little one inside.



Just in case you couldn't tell the first is a picture of the baby waving. The second is a picture of the back bone and head, and the third is the leg body and head with a hand up by the head. Sorry for the pictures being so blury. Just in case you were wondering, we didn't find out the sex of the baby. I want to be surprised since I already have a girl and boy, I got the most of the stuff already. Can't wait to see this little one in November. Oh I also set my C-section date and I think that it was the 23 or 24 of November, but I already forgot. It's not like I really will be going to have the baby on that day anyways. I always go early and so setting the date doesn't matter to me really.

Summer Fun and the 4th of July

Baylee and Bryson playing in the kiddy pool eating popsicles. The water was so cold but the loved it.

Bryson eating a doughnut at the parade.Baylee and Aunt Holly hanging out at the parade.The big horses. The kids both loved to see them.

The kids have been having fun playing in the pool. I bought a little kiddy pool for them. Recently we have been going to grandma Wallace's home and swimming in her pool which is a bigger one then ours. Baylee loves getting in the water, and Bryson likes when we hold him in the big pool but does not like to be splashed. We went to the parade here in Coeur d' Alene, and it's been a while since I have gone to a parade, but when I was a kid every few floats there was people throwing out candy. This was more adult like. It had people running for office and people that were for one or the other political party, and so on. I thought that the parade was kinda boring and if I was a kid I don't think that I would have enjoyed it very much. They did have some people riding little bikes and dressed funny, some big horses and the cheer leading teams. We then went swimming at my moms and came home so the kids could take a nap. We then went to my brothers where he had a really awesome fireworks show for everyone. The kids loved it. Baylee played with pop its and a few sparklers. It was a really good 4th of July.

17 Week Picture

I was planing to take a 16 week picture but never got around it and I think that it is starting to get rare that I actually do something with my hair other than stick it up and pin back the bangs cause I'm in a hurry all the time. So finally I did one last night. I think that my stomach is getting huge now. I get to see pictures on July 17. It's kinda funny but I actually pushed my date back to get the ultrasound done. I could have done it next week. Anyways enough about me. I actually did a little shopping for Baylee in the girls section yesterday. That was really different. My little girl is growing up so fast. She is kinda big for her age I guess. My niece that is going into first grade is just a small as Baylee just a little taller but their feet are the same size and everything. My niece likes to come over and try Baylee's shoes on all the time and wear a pair for the time that she is over. Bryson is trying to talk a little more. He can't say very much but I think he might be trying here and there to say some things. Baylee was talking like crazy by this time, but my pediatrican keeps reassuring me that boys learn slower than girls do. Oooh I got a few strawberries in my garden now all I have to do is try to keep the birds from eating then before I get to them.

Trip to Utah

Last weekend we went to Salt Lake City to see my nephew blessed. It was a lot of fun seeing cousins, and spending some time with some family. My brother David just bought a new home and is doing tons of work on it. It looks really good and I am really excited and proud of how well he is doing. I didn't know that he was so handy. We went to the distribution center and I got my very first set of scriptures. I know kinda sad but being one of eleven and I am the tenth out of them I got all the hand me down scriptures and I decided that it was time to get some bran spankin' new ones for me. I got some of the mini triple combination and paid only 34 bucks for them because they has a couple of scratches on the gold leafing but they look good to me. I was pretty excited about my purchase. We went to temple square and watched the Joseph Smith movie and walked around and did a couple of tours, it was tons of fun. We also went to the airplane museum and the kids loved looking at all the old fighter planes and so on. I am so grateful to have done this with my family. It was a fast but fun trip and as always we are glad to be home.
