Oh Baby, Baby!

It's finally March! I am now officially 34 weeks along (8 months). There are only 35 more days to go! This pregnancy has been a long haul, but we are excited to see and hold the end results. Our baby is now the size of a cantaloupe and weighs about 4 & 3/4 lbs. It is said that the baby can gain up to 1 lb a week. Our past experience with our babies has always been 9 lbs. I can only imagine what my stomach is going to do in the next 4 weeks. I am proud to say that I have made it to the gym for the past 5 weeks. Cardio on Mon., body conditioning on Wed., and Kick boxing on Fri.. I still suffer from morning sickness, but it is now late afternoon/evening sickness. It's quite the work-out routine to turn from one side to the other while laying in bed. We have officially set up the crib and changing table. My friends are going to be throwing me and another girl who is expecting at the same time a double shower. The supply boost is needed and I am so grateful. I have forgotten what it takes to raise a baby. We just wanted to update you all, because we could be having a baby any day now! Check out our beautiful "winter" weather (50* today).

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day! The kids have been very busy this week with preparing Valentine cards, making Valentine boxes, and having a Valentine party in school. I guess we can admit that it has been very crazy around here. We hope that you are all having a great Valentine weekend. Tennessee's box is some "power" from "zelda". So if your a zelda fan you will know what it is. Easton's box, is well.....he was hoping for a reaction and boy did he get it. He loved walking down the school hall and having the kids take a second glance at his creation. You can't help but laugh. It was pretty creative. Kaiya's box was simple and she believed it to be absolutely beautiful. She spent at least 2 hours cutting out her own snowflakes and taping and gluing hearts all over her box. It was all very fun. This weekend Brent is away to St. George/Las Vegas for Soccer Tournaments. We took the kids out for dinner on the 12th to celebrate Valentine's as a family. We had to wait an hour to get into the restaurant and it was Thursday!!! Needless to say, we don't take our kids to sit down restaurants very much and they were very confused to why we had to wait, and not only that, "why would we want to wait". It took patience, but it was worth the food in the end. I am now 33 weeks pregnant. Our baby is about 3.75 lbs and fattening up each day. My belly is round, round, round, and we are counting down the days. I've been able to start going to the gym again. It feels so good to wake up my muscles. I'm proud to say that I've made it for the past 3 weeks straight! I figure I am the only one that can get this baby out of me, so I might as well be in shape for it. We love and miss you all! Happy Valentine's Day.
