He Turned!

Good news! The baby turned! I was starting to get worried because he has been breech for the last two weeks. The doctor said that he thought the baby would turn on his own but if the baby didn't the doctor would try and turn him. That process is called an external cephalic version or ECV and I was not looking forward to that. I had read online that it's performed in the hospital because it can be dangerous and it only works about 58% of the time. If it doesn't work then you have a c section. So I was getting nervous about he possibility of a c section.
Mark fasted for me on Sunday then after church he gave me a priesthood blessing. In the blessing he said that the baby would turn and that gave me a comforting feeling. On Sunday night while I was laying in bed I could feel the baby moving a lot and it really almost felt like he was rolling. I just really didn't want to get my hopes up though because I wasn't sure if he had turned or not. I was still surprised and excited when I went to the doctor today and he said that the baby is now in the perfect position.
I'm just so grateful to have the gospel in our lives. Also to have a husband who holds and exercises the priesthood! It's such a blessing to me and our family!

Baby Animal Days!

My mom and I took Baylee to Logan to see Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center!

We got to go on a wagon ride pulled by these huge horses. The guy driving our wagon said that they weighed almost 2000 lbs!

This is us waiting in line. I thought it would be cold that day so I had baylee in a turtle neck and two sweat shirts! It actually turned out to be really nice and sunny!
Look at that baby lamb!
Baylee petting a calf!
Baylee's first pony ride! It was funny she totally could have sat on the pony by herself but since I was walking by her to make sure she didn't fall off she was leaning all of her weight on to me, so I had to hold her on the pony! lol!

Easter!

Happy Easter!
We had lots of fun with Baylee this year!

We colored Easter eggs! We had lots of cracked eggs! Mark and I kept gasping every time Baylee would break an egg but I guess we should have expected that from a two year old. . .right?



This was the Uintah Easter egg hunt on Saturday! I worked on Saturday but it was slow so I was able to leave and come to the egg hunt!
The Easter Bunny!
Baylee couldn't wait to get started we had to hold her back, but then when they finally honked the horn so all of the kids could go Baylee wouldn't pick any eggs up so we had to help her!

All the loot!

Then we went to my mom's for an Easter egg hunt and she had a special egg for Mark!
Inside of Baylee's eggs there was a number and each number had a present that went with it. There were five, yes FIVE, eggs with presents! (can you tell Baylee is an only grandchild?)


She got four books and some shoes! Then in addition to the eggs with numbers there were two silver eggs and Baylee got an alphabet puzzle and a number puzzle for her silver eggs. Plus there were also candy eggs!This was Easter morning! Baylee found the eggs the Easter Bunny hid! She kept saying, "This is a cold egg!" Because they were the real eggs!


Mark got Twilight in his Easter basket! He was thrilled!

Baylee helped me peel the eggs for breakfast. . . she started off pretty good then she just started smashing them so I had to take over!
On the way to grandpa and grandpa's to watch conference! Doesn't she look springy in her shorts? I think it was like 40 degrees this day but I let her wear the new shorts she got in her Easter basket!

Growing!

Ok so here it is! This is how huge I am (well not the top picture the bottom one!) but the good news is only 6 more weeks! I went to the doctor last night and the baby is about 4 lbs 12 oz! Everything looks good so we're just hanging in here!

This was Christmas Eve I think I was about 19-20 weeks!

This picture was taken Feb 25th so i was about 28-29 weeks!
Here I am now! I'm about 34 weeks!

Shoes

Just about every Sunday while I'm getting ready (it's just about the only day that I get ready these days except for Saturday when I go to work) Baylee will bring me this pair of pink shoes that I got for my sisters wedding. She'll say, "Wear these shoes mommy!" Not that I would wear heals while pregnant anyways since your equilibrium is already off, but I can't wear these shoes because my feet are so huge! They just don't fit!
I can't really wear any of my shoes lately. I think I'm down to two pairs! At least it's finally getting warm enough to wear flip flops again! That's what will get me through the next six weeks! I don't remember my feet getting so big while I was pregnant with Baylee but maybe that's just because I was pregnant with her mostly during spring and summer so I just wore flip flops anyway!
I keep forgetting to have Mark take a picture of me on the rare occasion that I do get dressed and put make-up on! Next time I do I'll have him take a picture and I'll post it so you can all see how big I am :)

Someday I'll wear those shoes again!

Disney On Ice!


World of Fantasies!
My mom took Baylee, Steph, and I to see Disney on Ice last Friday! It was lots of fun!

There was a princess pre-show and we saw Cinderella and Tiana (from the princess and the frog).
Then we got some pop corn and watched the Ice show! She kept saying, "I want to go upstairs and get a drink!" Because when Mark takes her to WSU basketball games he get's her popcorn and a soda. But the popcorn at ESA is $4.75 and I don't know how much drinks were but I figured she'd get by with her sippy cup of water!
The show was fun there was a part from cars, then The Little Mermaid, and then The Lion King! We were on the second row and Baylee sat on my mom's lap most of the time. During The Little Mermaid they had bubbles coming down, so Baylee looked up and noticed the Jumbo tron. It was WAY WAY up there but she kept looking at it to watch what was going on like ten feet in front of her! During intermission we went down by the ice to get our picture taken and Baylee said, "I'm going to watch tinkerbell on that big TV!" I thought it was so funny!

The second half was all about Tinkerbell so that was fun! Baylee likes to watch the Tinkerbell movie so she was pretty into it!

Thanks mom for taking us! You're the best!
