December

December was pretty low key for us. Robs brother Scott got married on December 19th, Of course it was the worst snow storm of the season, and we had to drive downtown to the Salt Lake Temple. (it usually takes 30 or so minutes- This morning it took over 2 hours) The sealing was good, but By the time we got out of the temple, Anistyn was in a very bad mood, so we got back to the car, and she immediately feel asleep and slept for a couple of minutes until we got to lunch. She does NOT handle being thrown off her schedule. We really pay for it. But I will talk more about that later. (more so for the journaling of it all) We also set up Anistyn's "big girl" bed, She hasn't slept on it yet, but she loves playing on it (I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.) I guess the main thing that happened was Christmas. We didn't go all out this year, since we didn't know how much Anistyn would remember, but We got her a few things. She got a Minnie Mouse play kitchen, since she is Obsessed with playing in my kitchen, she got a truck with some legos (since she is obsessed with pushing them around) A baby doll, and some play food for her kitchen. she got some other things, but I cant remember (dang me for getting so far behind on my blog!!) For New years eve we went and played games with some of Robs family. It was a lot of fun. I brought Anistyn's pack and play with the hopes that I could put her to bed at her normal time, and we could play, and we were lucky because she did. We ended up staying over there until about 2AM. I love Robs family so much. It is always a good time hanging out with them! Here are the pictures I have.

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Christmas and new years!

November

November kind of caught me by surprise. I didn't realize how fast the holidays were approaching. I was so excited to set up my Christmas tree, since Anistyn loved it so much last year, although I was afraid that she would pull everything off of it. Well, I decided to put the tree up around the 10th, but held off on decorating it, just to see how Anistyn would react, sadly, she was not too interested in it. It took me another 2 or so weeks to get it decorated. November found me still very sick from this pregnancy, but I was finally given something from my doctor to help, and it did wonders. I was taking it every day, but that was better than the alternative. We had thanksgiving dinner with Robs family, and it was fun to see his Aunt and uncle from Colorado, along with their Daughter and her husband. Jill is due the same time as me, so it was super fun to compare pregnancies. After dinner, I went Shopping with my mom, Theresa, and Brittany to Carters. I was able to get a couple of outfits for baby #2, and an outfit for Anistyn. Theresa also had someone to shop for, well, two someones. she is having twin girls, she is due the same day as me, however we don't think she will make it that long. Once nice afternoon, Anistyn and I meet up with Amie, and her daughter Hallie and fed the ducks at Gardner Village, These little girls are so cute together, and are going to be good friends (just like their mommies) On Thanksgiving as we were getting ready to head to dinner, right outside out door, There was a deer. I took it as a sign that Santa was really coming soon! I cant really remember anything else about November, so I will just add the pictures that I have.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Ballet shoes or Baseballs

We found out what baby #2 was in late October. It was kind of a fun experience, and it was fun letting Katy and Kim be part of it. I scheduled my ultrasound for a saturday morning so Rob could go with me, and we decided to take Anistyn along too. We got to see the baby move for a little bit, I told the tech the names we had chosen (for both a girl and a boy) and asked that she print off one picture with the name on it. The tech was great, and told us when we could open and close our eyes. When we were done, she printed off the pictures and put some in a green envalope (the non gender ones) and then sealed the gender pictures in another. then went to lunch, and ran a couple of errands, and then took the gender pictures to Katy. Her and Kim made a darling cake, and inside had either pink or blue frosting. I was so fidgity all day, and couldn't wait to get to dinner with the family to find out. I thought for sure we were having a boy because I was so sick, and this pregnancy has been totally different from my pregnancy with Anistyn. Rob thought girl (probably because thats all his side of the family knows how to make)When we got to dinner, and my mom arrived, we decided to do the cake first, since we couldn't stand the suspense anymore. What were the results you ask? who was right, Rob or I? well.... Lets just see we will be adding even more PINK to our house! That's right, Anistyn is going to have a little sister! (we do have a name for her, but we are not saying online or telling everybody until she arrives.) Here are a few pictures from the party! Thanks again Katy and Kim!

The last picture was of all of us that are pregnant. Cindy (far right) had her baby just a couple days after this was taken. Janelle had her baby in January, then me, (due in April) and then my neice crystal, who just announced she was pregnant that day (I believe she is due in June) Fun Fun Fun!
