Things Are Changing...

I know it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything but I have been super busy. Scott just got back from a 9 day business trip and I just recently got back from Rexburg, ID with my Mom dropping off my sister for school.

I dyed my hair blonde again and I feel 5 years younger. Well atleast thats what Scott and my mom think. :) But I am really loving it. Its a great change before the baby comes.

I never posted that I had my follow up ultra sound at the Drs to see if my placenta had moved. I was relieved to learn that it had moved and I dont have to have a C-section. That was some good news. I am now just shy of 35 weeks and really feeling it now. I have been having a lot of tightness/ braxton hicks and just very uncomfortable. Also I have been having a hard time sleeping. My Dr let me schedule an induction date a week earlier than my due date if she doesnt come earlier than that. So my induction date is May 26th. I know this isnt the natural way of doing things but I dont see anything wrong with it. I have a feeling I will go earlier than that but I guess we will just wait and see. Still have yet to choose a name.

We have decided to take our house off the market. Its only been about a month and a half but in this market we just realized we cant get what we want for it. We will try to hold on for another year and see what the market is like next summer and hopefully we can sell it then. This is a slight disappointment but we love this place and location I just wont like the stairs when baby #2 comes.

Lexi is growing so fast and everyday she is doing something new. Now that it is getting warm outside she loves hanging out on the deck or going to the playground. She has an appointment in about 2 weeks so I am curious to see what her stats are.

Spring is finally here and that is a big relief. I am so tired of winter. But every now and then this crazy Utah weather flashes its ugly head and the weather gets cold again.

Ill leave with some pictures of what has been going on over the last month.

Diapers, Diapers, and Wipes

Since this is our second kid we feel we know pretty good about the things we will need. Since I have less than 2 months to go (YIKES!!) we decided to go splurge and buy tons of diapers and wipes to stock up. Also throwing in some diapers for Lexi this is what we ended up with.

A Mountain of Diapers and Wipes!!

(I saved $12 dollars from clipping coupons as well. Call me an old lady but hey it works.)

I still cant believe how fast this is going and how soon it will be here. Its nice to know as far as clothes go we dont really have to buy anything or really any necessary things for the new baby because we have everything leftover from Lexi. I still want to get some things for the new baby that will be her own things. Still have not decided on a name yet.

Lexi is growing up so fast these days. She will do something and I say to myself I had no idea you knew what that meant or that you could do that. We can pretty much ask her where a baby is and she will point to a picture of a baby or if she is near me rub my belly. This makes me so happy cause going back to when I first found out I was pregnant one of my fears was Lexi wouldnt know what a baby was and wouldnt understand it.

She has developed a love for shoes. She loves wearing shoes. What she does lately that is pretty funny is she will go in our closet and bring me random shoes to put on my feet. If I already have shoes on too bad I better take them off and put on what she is bringing me. So needless to say shoes get strayed all over our house.

Lately if you ask her if she is hungry or do you want to go Night, Night she will shake her head Yes! She has been and still is the best sleeper. Her bedtime has gotten considerably later like 9-9:30 ever since we got back from FL but she will sleep till 7:30. We can always just lay her in bed and she will just chill till she is tired. One of the funniest things these days with Lexi is she loves dancing. If she hears anything with a beat she starts rocking her shoulders, moving her hips, and waving her arms up and down. It is hilarious!!

She loves technology and I guess what kid these days doesnt. She knows pretty good how to work an Ipod Touch (not that she knows what she is doing but she can maneuver it). She puts headphones up to her ears and dances. Also she knows the red button on the remote turns the TV on.

She has become rather attached to her white bunny rabbit that we call "Rabbie." She sometimes wont drink her bottle unless she has Rabbie and he just always is a comfort to her. I wash him about 3 times a week cause of how dirty he gets. Another thing she is attached to is her Daddy. Sometimes she is really sad when he leaves for work but she is so happy when he comes home. If he goes in a store to pick up take out she might cry the entire time until he gets back in the car. Lexi loves her Daddy so much and just loves playing with him.

It is hard to keep up with her sometimes these days because she is almost running. One of her favorite things to play with is our bar stools. Its almost like a fort for her. She pulls them out and lays under the bar and gets a pillow from the couch and brings it under and sits on it. She is still quite the little book worm and loves reading books.

Obviously I love taking pictures of Lexi but it has gotten so hard now for 2 reasons. 1- She is always on the move and wont stand still for anything and 2- As soon as I take a picture of her she has to run over to me and see what it looks like. Its pretty funny!! Yes I know I have created a monster! :)

Thats all I can think of right now but she has changed so much over the last month. My little baby is becoming a kid.

The Best pic I could get of her in her Easter dress. Thanks Great Granny!!

Flashing her Pearly Whites. She now has 5 1/4 teeth.

Almost 31 Weeks

I thought it would be fun to do a comparison from Baby #1 with Baby #2. Both of these pictures are a little past 30 weeks. I am trying to see the difference but I think they are pretty similar.

This pregnancy has flown by. I cant believe I only have 2 months left. I just started my every 2 week appointments. This little girl is a ball of energy too. I definitely dont remember Lexi kicking this much. Lexi is starting to get older and learning what a baby is. She will rub my belly (only my bare belly) when I ask her where the baby is. It is actually really overwhelming to think that in 2 months I will have 2 kids and the responsibility that comes with it. I really can not tell you how fast this has gone by. I am starting to get more and more uncomfortable. A little tightness here and there in my stomach, using the bathroom all the time, and it is so hard to sleep. Since this is my second kid this baby is a lot lower and it can be painful sometimes. Luckily overall I still feel pretty good. Scott and I have still been throwing around some names and havent decided on one yet but here are a few:

Taylor - Scott's #1 Choice
Summer - My little sisters #1 choice
Sidney - We have just always liked it.
Riley - I like this one but I dont think Scott does.
Jacey - We both kinda like.

We probably wont decide until the baby is born.

On April the 8th I am getting an ultrasound done to see if the placenta has moved away from the cervix. At my 22 week ultrasound it was almost covering it so I am having this ultrasound to see what the status of the placenta is. Please cross your fingers it has moved away cause I definitely dont want to have a C-section.

Right now our condo has been up for sale for a little over 2 weeks and we havent had any interest on it. This is a downer but I didnt really expect it to sell right away in this market. We look more and more forward to being able to get a house and having tons of room sometime soon. We love our condo tons but I am not looking forward to lugging a toddler who has been walking 2 months and a newborn in a car seat up 3 flights of stairs. I will make do somehow Im sure. I guess this will help me lose all the baby weight.

FLORIDA!!!!

OH YEAH ITS FINALLY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!

Florida here we come.

Scott & I have decided to take the plunge and...

PUT OUR CONDO UP FOR SALE.

I guess anything can happen and we arent in a huge hurry but with the new baby coming and living on the 3rd floor with 2 kids it wont be easy. So we will put it on the market and see what happens. Hopefully it will sell and we can get a nice house. Anyone need a great condo in Pleasant Grove????

This is what we woke up to

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!

10 days til Florida thats all I keep saying.

Unexpected Surprise!!

I certainly didnt expect this to be hanging on my door when I got home from the Library with Lexi.

I immediately got a hold of Scott and asked if he sent me flowers. He said as much as he wished they were from him, he didnt send me anything.

Ok, next was to check with my family. I asked my sister, Erin, if anyone there sent me flowers. She said YES, I did, but you werent there to get them. I went through my head to see if there were any special occasions I was missing and I couldnt think of anything. I asked her why she sent them and she said I just felt like I wanted to send you some flowers. HOW NICE IS THAT!!

I called and had them redelivered and they are just beautiful!!!

Thanks so much Erin. That was very nice and thoughtful of you and it made my day. Thank you so much!!!

Dont I just have the BEST Sister!!!!!!
