31 Weeks!

OK, this picture was taken actually at about 30 1/2 weeks, but I am now 31 weeks.

Adam made me stand in front of the cactus, I think to prove how big I was.  Yes I am wider than a cactus!  

I went to the DR yesterday and I measure like I am 38 weeks if I was only having just one baby.  I am not sure what they do in a few weeks, will they really say I am measuring like I am 45 weeks?  HAHA. A week ago the babies weighed 3 lbs 6 oz and 3 lbs even (they are measuring right on track for weight).  So by now I am sure I have close to 7 lbs of baby in me!   

For those of you who might be wondering, I am not on bed rest and am still working.  The Dr keeps telling me how good I am doing, so she won't right me a get out of work note!    We are praying these babies stay put for another 5-6 weeks.   If they haven't come on their own by around 38, they'll induce me.   I try not to think of the fact that by then, I'll have around 15 lbs of baby in me!  YIKES!

I also randomly decided to change the hair up a bit a few weeks ago.   I guess that happens when you can no longer control your body, you take to things you can control.  So for the first time in 20 years I got bangs!  So far I am liking them all right most people seem to like them.  Its a little bit of a change, but change is fun sometimes!!

Guess who's coming home!

These guys!!!



We're so excited for Elder and Sister Button to be coming home from their 18 month mission to Puerto Rico.  We were sad we didn't get to go visit them with the rest of the family, but hope that they will take us there someday to show us all the beautiful spots in those islands.    

We are very excited they will be here in time for our babies to be born, especially since they also had twins and will be used to the chaos they present.

See you tomorrow!

That just happened...

Yeah, the one thing any pregnant woman doesn't want to hear and I quote
 "You look like your about ready to POP!"

Um, thanks.

A few projects

I've had this post in draft mode for weeks and forgot about it!  Here are a few projects I recently completed for friends having babies.

This first set is baby legs, a headband and a onesie with a ruffle butt and flower on the front.  I need to get on making a set for my little girl!

This is a blanket I made for my good friend Annie who just had her little boy!   Its a 'rag' quilt lined with super soft minky fabric.

Family Dinner!

Daniel was in town this weekend so we had a big family dinner!   I always have good intentions of taking pictures, but usually don't.  This time I made sure my camera was out, but when it came down to it, I made Alisa take most of the pictures!    We certainly had fun visiting and eating good food.

Brycen LOVES his uncles!  This was one of his calmer moments with Uncle Jordan, the rest of the time he was chasing Uncle Ike around trying to tackle him.   So fun! 

 Isaac and Julie

 And this one, her outfit was so stinking cute!  The boots were killer!  I think Bristol is next in line for them, but I hope they find a way to our little girl someday too!  

 Those boots were definitely made for walking as that's just what she did!  I had such a hard time capturing a good photo cause she wouldn't hold still!

 Jordan, Rachel, Daniel and Adam

 Matt and Alisa

 And here's me and my growing bump!  23 1/2 weeks!

 Bristol likes to stand up now and has a new fun trick of scrunching her nose!

 She's also got lots of teeth already

 I just love Maryn's smile!!

 After dinner Brycen found a container of muffins on the counter and wanted one.  Since they weren't exactly cupcakes and were made with pumpkin and no oil or butter or frosting, I figured it was OK.   But then he wanted another one!   I told him we were going to have donuts so he should wait for that.  He was super excited about donuts.....

And insisted on helping me make them.  He pulled a chair over and was ready to get to work!

 After watching me knead the dough for a moment, he couldn't resist and had to get his hands in there (yes we made him wash first!)

 Yep, its pretty fun! Except he wouldn't move his hands once they got in there.  He just let them sink in and get super sticky. 

 And eventually he looked like this!

 He thought that was pretty fun.

 After getting the sticky dough off, we got it all rolled out and ready to cut.  

 Again lots and lots of fun!  Aunt Abbey had to help a little bit to make sure the dough got cut all the way through but he was a pretty good helper!

 And now we were ready to make the holes in the center.

After some instruction, Brycen had it down!

We had a fun evening and loved being together!    Thanks everyone for coming over and bringing delicious food to share!  We love you all!
