It's been awhile since I last posted and it's high time I catch everyone up on what has been going on in our lives... NOT A WHOLE LOT!!! (At least for me)
Since the last post I was in and out of the hospital a few more times, but the baby and I are doing fine. I am still on bed rest and just taking things one day at a time. It gets very boring sometimes and often I go stir crazy and wanting a change so bad it hurts. The things we do for our little ones!!!
Easter came and went. Andy was obviously in charge of all the pictures and celebrating. Here are the girls at the ward Easter egg hunt.
If you couldn't tell, Sammy doesn't like getting her picture taken much.
Easter morning... Sammy being a sour puss.
This is a picture of "egging" the Graham's house. It's a family tradition to go and egg someone's house on Easter. We fill plastic eggs with candy and notes telling that family or person why we love them. This year we chose Roslyn since she has helped so much during this difficult time. She comes in the morning and helps the girls get off to school so that Andy doesn't have to rearrange his work schedule. She helps the girls get dressed, get their hair done, usually starts a load of laundry, and then makes sure the girls get their chores done. We sure love her!!!
Just before the girls and Andy left for church.
This year they went to the Bullock's ward since our nephew, Mason, came home from his mission. I felt so bad missing it since I missed his farewell, too. At least I got to see him before he left for college. A lot of Andy's family was in town for the occasion including one of our girls' favorite cousin, Shelbie. It makes me laugh that Ashley and Shelbie tend to have a lot of the same outfits and it's never planned that way. This dress caused tears that morning... totally my fault. I thought for sure that I bought the yellow dress for Katie and the purple one for Ashley. The sizes didn't match up and it was tears from Katie till I gave her an extra chapstick the Easter bunny left in my drawer.
These are some random photos taken throughout the last 2 months.
Katie and her awesome style.
Sammy got her hair chopped off! I don't know exactly how much was cut, but it was a lot.
Katie had a field trip to Babby Farms. It's a petting zoo and Katie LOVED it! She is holding a baby goat in this picture, but I think her favorite was a huge pig. She is still talking about how big it was. She came home and told me about this one pig lying in the mud "showing off all it's fatness." I told her, "Hey! That's like mommy!" She laughed and said, "You're showing off your longness... You're not fat... not really." She made me laugh!
Random hair style for Ashley. Roslyn was teasing about the hairstyle and Ashley really wanted it and wore it all that day.
Just another cute picture of Katie. Love her style! Notice the high heels and scarf? That is completely Katie! She was just chillin' in her after school outfit and reading to Brigetta, Lyla, and I.
Here are my 28 week (and 1 day) profile pictures.
And of course we need to add in a few pictures of the baby. We get pictures every week with the ultrasounds, but these two are some of my favorites.
I usually don't like the face shots because they kind of look a bit creepy... but this one you can totally see a big smile on the baby's face! (For those that can't depict these pictures the dark spot on the left is the forehead. The two dark spots in the middle are the eyes. And then the smile is on the right. You might have to turn your head to the side.)
I love that you can see all the bones in the baby's hand! The Wyne genes are showing in this photo... long fingers!!!
The girls are done with school for the summer... Not exactly sure how I feel about that yet. It's going to make a big change in our schedule and people helping out at our house. So far we have this week covered. We may just need to take it a week at a time. And hopefully when we get to mid June we'll have another routine down again. The girls will have swim lessons and dance camp to help break up their days and something to look forward to everyday.
With it being Memorial Day Andy had the day off. He hasn't had a whole lot of time with the girls with being in school. Now that he's out on break for a few weeks he's had a little more time. He took advantage of the day off and the beautiful weather and took the girls to the zoo!
Sammy being a preteen... again!
They look like they had a great time with their daddy! They sure have him wrapped around their little fingers. They even suckered him into buying things for them at the gift shop. Sammy got a stuffed monkey, Ashley a necklace, and Katie... a rubber snake!!! Andy looked pretty happy she chose that for her toy.
And last, but not least... We have reached our 30 week mark!!! We are on the downhill for the pregnancy and hopefully I won't be on bed rest much longer. Last week (Tuesday 5/20/2014) the baby was weighing approximately 3 pounds 8 ounces! We were very excited for that weight because the bigger the better if I go into labor early. We could even see the baby's chubby cheeks at the last ultrasound. This week is a happy one for me since I get to go on a dinner date with Andy this weekend! I feel like I'm turning 16 all over again counting down the days till I get to go on a date. Maybe the next post I'll announce the baby's gender. :)
