Terrible Timing

Nick left in a rush to go back to Utah for his Grandmother's funeral. The kids and I had planned on going down to Switzerland for a temple trip. On our way back home getting things ready to go, I was making a left turn and got hit pretty bad.

All of the side airbags went off, the driver window is shattered, it was the scariest thing of my life. The kids got a clean bill of health, but they took me to the hospital to check on the baby and I ended up staying overnight for observation. Fortunately everyone is completely fine, a little shaken up with some bumps and bruises is all. The doctor who did my last ultrasound sound that I am actually really lucky, because the placenta is in the front instead of the back like normal, so had the front airbag gone off, or if I had been thrown forward more, there could have been some pretty scary consequences. 

I can't say the same thing about the car, the repair shop is saying that it is totaled. For whatever reason we were not meant to go to the temple that weekend. I had turned around to check on a friend I saw parked on the side of the road, after many promptings so I really feel like for a reason I will probably never know, this was meant to happen. 

21 Weeks

Please excuse my blonde moment, I'm blaming it on the pregnancy when I didn't realize this sign would be backwards when I took the picture...

21 Weeks with Baby #3

This baby is certainly carrying different than the other two. I feel much bigger, and he/she is sitting so much lower. I feel like I live in the bathroom! It is finally getting to the point that I am really enjoying this pregnancy. It was a rough start, bad morning sickness, migraines and headaches accompanied by the usual aches and pains of pregnancy. The clouds are clearing and the sun is shining now however as I'm finally starting to feel some movement and starting to feel more like a person.

21 Weeks with Kaelyn

20 Weeks with William

19 Weeks

 For whatever reason, I have been doing terrible at tracking how far along I am. At my doctors appointment this week I was super surprised when she said that I was 19 weeks already. I guess that means it's time to start taking pictures to compare to the other two!

19 Weeks Baby #3

19 Weeks with Kaelyn

Hausmeerschweinchen

                                       

We have been talking for quite a while about getting a pet for the kids. A dog is out of the question for a number of reasons.  First we planned on fish, and not only did the fish store NEVER have cheap little gold fish but we decided that they would probably end up in the middle of the living room floor more often than not.

One day we went out and decided on Guinea Pigs. We didn't know that you had to buy them in multiples, but it's probably better because this way now they each have their own.

William's is an adult, the crazy looking one. He named him Red, because that is his favorite color.

The cute little baby is Sprinkles, that is who Kaelyn picked.

It was a rough first week, the kids desperately wanted to play with them but the little things wanted nothing to do with William and Kaelyn. The second day we had them Kaelyn poor a huge patch of fur off of Red, he still gets really nervous around her.

It's getting better, they are all starting to warm up to eachother, although Red still refuses to let William walk him :)

Princess Kaelyn

Kaelyn is obsessed with princesses lately. Anytime she wears a dress, or even a shirt with some poof to it, it's a princess outfit.

Anytime I do her hair, it's princess hair. I love how excited she gets, and I hope she always keep the mentality that she is a princess because that is exactly what she is.

William's 4th Birthday Party

For William's birthday party this year he decided he wanted a superhero birthday party. I had felt capes for everyone to color and decorate so that they could be their own kind of superhero.

Since Spiderman is his favorite, that cake was decorated accordingly.

It was such a great party, and I am so excited to get to spend another year with this awesome, smart, and fun loving boy. He really is the greatest, my best bud and the coolest son a mom could ask for. 

Happy Birthday William!

Family Physical Therapy

Nick is being diligent about keeping up on his physical therapy and the kids are always excited to get in on it.
