I was so excited for Ellie to finally meet her baby brother. My mom brought her around lunch time and I video recorded her first reactions. She is too cute for words. I love her so much. She is so genuinely in love with him. She even brought her baby doll with her and my mom said she hadn't even been playing with it, she just grabbed it before they left.</div>

Before I knew if I was going to get discharged or not, James went home to get Ellie, give my mom a break and do some last minute gift getting. After he brought Ellie back the hospital I grabbed a few more picture of them. </div>

Where do I start? This is a very long birth story but cutting any of it out just didn't seem right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jyler James was born August 27, 2015</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7:44pm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8lbs 5oz</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
19.75in. long </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
August 27th was also his due date.</div>
Once I hit 38 weeks, which was the week Ellie was born, I couldn't stop starring at the clock and calendar waiting for something exciting to happen. It was really hard for me to go past the date that Ellie was born. Maybe it was being impatient or maybe I was just excited but either way, I was ready.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My doctor and I decided I'd be a great candidate for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean) and while I had a great experience with a c-section I did know it was a major surgery and I thought a VBAC would be worth a try. Usually, if you choose a repeat c-section though you would be scheduled to have one at 39 weeks. So as 39 weeks approached it was so tempting not to just throw in the towel and get another c-section. Also, this pregnancy has been hard. If you remember me mentioning in times past that I had chronic upper back pain and nerve pain on my upper abdomen, it wasn't fun. So my doctor always said to call me if I changed my mind. She was very good at leaving all the choices to me and validating whatever I decided. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had asked my doctor when we could maybe induce? She said that typically they don't induce VBACs because there is greater risk like hard contractions from pitocin on the old c-section incisions. However, if I got to my due date she agreed that we could explore that avenue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, on Tuesday, August 25th at dinner time I got a phone call from my doctor. She said she talked to other doctors about me and she'd been hoping all this time I would have gone into labor naturally but since I hadn't I could come in for an induction that night if I chose to. Of course, I got so nervous about the idea that I could actually go in and have my baby. I am not good with choices! But in the end James and I decided to go ahead and do it. I had also read a lot about inductions for VBACS and how they usually go slow because of those risks involved. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took a family picture, put Ellie down for bed, finished packing out bags and headed in.</div>

At 10pm James and I arrived to the hospital and my doctor checked me and I was the same as I had been the past 3 weeks. 1cm and 70% effaced. My cervix was also very high and hard to get to. There were two options for starting my induction either pitocin or a balloon they blow up with saline to try and dilate my cervix. After the doctor checked me she decided to try the balloon. After 4 painful attempts the balloons kept falling out so we started pitocin instead. I was also only allowed to have clear liquids from that point on. For the remainder of that night I was given small dosses of pitocin (I got up to an 8 out of a possible 30) and that morning they checked me and I was still the same!! Super disappointing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They found different balloons to try so while it was painful the first time I thought what the heck worth another try. After 2 tries it stayed. Also, after being on call all night at the hospital my Dr was working in the office the rest of the day before her day off so she planned to deliver my baby. The balloon should fall out once you get to 3cm so all day with the pitocin still at an 8 we walked around and I stood as much as I could waiting for that balloon to fall out. But the evening came and nothing happened. My Doctor went home and a new doctor came in. The balloon can only stay in for 12 hours so at the 12 hour mark they deflated it and checked me, I was still the same. This Doctor told me no more fluids for the rest of the evening. We all decided if there was no changed by the morning we'd go forward with a c-section and I was totally ok with that. </div>

Now it was Thursday morning. I slept all night (minus the normal nurse interruptions) from pitocin going from an 8 to a 20 and because I wasn't really feeling any contractions the nurse assumed there would be no change. They started to bring in the stuff to prep for the c-section. Then the nurse checked me and I was 3-4cm. So we went ahead and continued with the induction. I had a new doctor now whom I really liked and she checked me and was going to break my water but my cervix was still very high and she said she really could't get to it. So again, we waited. However, after 30 hours of no food she said I could have breakfast. I had talked to my mom earlier that day and told her that she and Ellie could come to the hospital and bring James lunch. The exact same time James left to go escort my mom in, around noon, the doctor came in to check me. I don't think I made any change and pretty sure she figured out a way to get a hold of my cervix and break the water. Literally as soon as my water broke the contractions started to become very intense. There was no way I could have my mom and daughter in there. James took Ellie to play and my mom came in for a little bit. The anesthesiologist arrive quickly and James came back in.</div>

I cried heavily during the epidural because it was so painful to sit still through the contractions but the epidural itself did not hurt one bit. He would say, "this is the worst part" then I wouldn't feel anything. So that was nice. I also had 2 nurses at the time (actually most the time since they were doing orientation or something) but one of my nurses was great at distracting me. She talked the entire time as I got the epidural. Being able to only lay a certain way was hard but it took effect quickly and the doctor lowered the pitocin to 15. My mom and Ellie were able to come back in. Ellie was so sweet to me. She knew baby brother was coming. </div>

I hired the same photographer as I had with Ellie and was keeping her updated since Tuesday night but after they broke my water she headed over to the hospital. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About 2 hours passed and the baby was starting "to do funny things on the monitor," as the nurse said, so they came to check me and I was already a 7. About another 2 hours later at 4:45pm they checked again and I was a 10 and ready to push. I felt like the dilatation went really fast considering how long the past 2 days had been.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I pushed, and pushed and pushed for 3 hours. After the first hour I think the doctor and nurse had a pow wow because the nurse came back in and said I was doing good but could do better. Between the 2nd and 3rd hour of pushing it feels kind of like a blur. Same thing over and over again I suppose. Nurses switched shifts by the 3rd hour too. I also started to get this intense pain vertically in my abdomen like my muscle was going to rip and it was really hard to push past that mostly because of fear. My doctor told me we could try the vacuum and I asked what the risks were and ultimately decided to do that. I was exhausted and just wanted him out. It was getting scary and I was crying a lot and felt like my pushing was dying down because of the abdomen pain. </div>

She got the vacuum attached to his head and I pushed probably 20 minutes with the vacuum which was longer than the doctor expected and not only that put it popped off 3 different times and the last time the doctor just went in and pulled his head out. The next thing I knew the nurses were on top of me maneuvering my body (after reading more about it I think they used the "Leg hyperflexion McRoberts' maneuver" along with pushing on my abdomen) and then he was out exactly 3 hours after I started pushing, at 7:44pm. I pretty much screamed/cried loudly the entire time. It was a very intense, scary and sort of a traumatic experience towards the end. James said he saw a some of wide eyed nurses in the room. Also, now that he was out and I didn't need to feel contractions any more I pushed that epidural button again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because we used the vacuum, the NICU team was in there just in case and he didn't come out crying which freaked me out but they said he was ok just stunned. He was taken right over to them and so I didn't get to hold him right away. Which really was sad for me but I knew I wouldn't be able to once I decided on the vacuum. However, Jyler started crying and checked out fine so the NICU team left and he was brought over to me. </div>

He weighed in at 8lbs 5oz which, woah, much larger baby than I hoped for but my doctor was right so I was prepared for that possibility.<br />

As the doctor was trying to deliver my placenta and push on my uterus I let out a loud scream from the abdomen pain. She was a little concerned about my uterus since it was a VBAC but she called in anesthesiologist and he administered a few different things into my IV so she could assess the situation. After some time the pain started to go away and while my uterus was very sore the weird muscle pain started to disappear. </div>

When everything died down I asked my nurses what the heck happened at the end and she said his shoulders were stuck, shoulder dystocia. James said the doctor pulled out an arm by his head first and then maneuvered one shoulder out at a time. The nurse stated he was just a little big for my frame.</div>

Once the epidural wore off the pain started to get intense again. My tailbone hurt really bad so the nurses moved me to my side to get me off the tailbone and told me to sleep. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My friends and family had been texting me the past 2 days and suddenly it was dead air. James tried to text everyone just to tell them Jyler was here and we were all ok. As I started to wake up James called my sister and made a joke and I started to laugh then immediately screamed in pain. I don't even remember where the pain was but holy heck! I've been to two of my friend's deliveries and neither of them had this type of pain afterwards they were able to sit in bed and talk and smile. I couldn't do anything. Around 12:30am the nurses came in to try and get me to use the bathroom and take me to postpartum and getting me out of bed was a joke. I felt so pathetic. I didn't want to feel and act that way but all I could do was scream/cry from pain as they basically maneuvered me out of bed and carried me to the bathroom. After I attempted to pee they wheeled me into my new room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The new nurse told me just to sleep and not worry about feeding Jyler if he didn't wake up. However, I did have to pee a few times that night and it took lots of crying and about 30 minutes to get out of bed each time. James offered to lift me and move me but once he would start to do that I'd freak out thinking something would happen so he didn't do it. He was so patient with waiting as I moved inch by inch. Also, the times I did need to sit up to feed Jyler were just as brutal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning came an influx of people. I think 9 people came into our room within 2 hours. My breakfast turned cold because I was talking to people the entire time. I wasn't in as much pain but still pretty uncomfortable. My doctor even came in on her day off to check in on me. She was excited that I was able to have the successful VBAC. She changed my medication dosage as I cried to her how much pain I was in and felt like I couldn't even hold my baby because the weight of his body on my abdomen hurt. But about every 12 hours I noticed a difference in pain and eventually was able to get off the bed by myself and by Saturday I was walking around better but it sure hurt to sit still.</div>

I was discharged on Saturday and came home that night around dinner time. While I am recovering, slowly, I make progress each day. I'd say the stitches hurt way worse than I expected but now, a little over a week out, the stitches feel better but I am still very sore and can't stand for long without an intense bruise and pressure feeling. So far, I wouldn't say this has a faster recovery than a c-section. I remember at 6 days with Ellie we went and picked out a Christmas tree and went to Wal-Mart. I was also able to sit. So while I probably took pain meds and used ice in my incision I feel like the recovery was easier. But of course who knows what a second c-section recovery would have been like and obviously a surgery is more involved than a vaginal birth. So I need to be patient and take time to recover. </div>

August to me means, TIME TO HAVE A BABY.<br />I'm due August 27th but Ellie came at exactly 38 weeks so I had too high of hopes that this little guy would be early too. But I was wrong. I have had no signs of labor. I wanted to try for a vbac this time but since a repeat c-section is also an option deciding what I really wanted has been very hard for me. I think about it all day long and have talked to my doctor about it and she just knows how miserable I am and tells me to call her if I want to throw in the towel. But that's just it, I don't want to throw in the towel just because I can. I am a great candidate for a vbac and while there are risks there are also benefits. So I am holding out. However, typically they don't allow inductions on vbac patients because of additional risks but if I get to my 40 week appointment and progressed from my previous one then she'll allow for an induction and I feel better about having one than having a c-section just because. Although, I could always end up in a c-section again, but if that happens it was meant to be vs me choosing it. Does that make sense? So really, I just hope he comes before his due date and I won't have to worry about it anymore.</div>

I wanted to remember this. Ellie enjoys showering with me in the morning. It's really just play time for her. She plays with a cup, an empty bottle and her princesses. She is always asking me to fill them up with water so that's what she's doing here. I was done with the shower when I took the picture by the way. </div>

Ellie was breach so position matters but seems like I am carrying a little further out with this baby than Ellie. I have gained the exact same about of weight but it also carried differently. My face is much less puffy. Skirts, dresses and yoga pants are all I wear now.</div>

A few pictures to close out July.</div>
<br />
I blew up Ellie's pool sometime this month, I think, and we only have used it a couple of times. I feel bad for not taking her out in it more but it's hot and that's work and I'm pregnant. Good excuse?<br />
She started lounging like this on her own and I said, "Hold that pose I need a picture."<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've mentioned before that Ellie loves youtube videos and/or going through my photo and video gallery on my phone. Thought her lounge position was cute in her little panties. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Lastly, also mentioned before, Ellie thinks we take pictures before church every Sunday now. LOL. But I haven't been able to attend church in a few weeks because it kills my back. But after Ellie gets ready she comes in and she usually picks out a tie for dad. Blue polka-dots today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ellie loves church. Like loves it. She looks so forward to nursery and playing with her friends. Her teachers are older and she refers to them as Grandma and Grandpa. It's the cutest. I feel guilty whenever she has to miss it because she loves it so much. And thanks to James for taking her to Sacrament alone. Not that she is any trouble by any means but he does it alone. </div>

I wanted to get some maternity pictures done around 33 weeks because of how uncomfortable my pregnancy has been I knew sooner was better, just in case. I had this idea to do a lifestyle shoot at a snow cone place and James and I would take our own traditional pictures. </div>
I searched for a photographer and found that most lifestyle photographers were way too expensive for just a maternity shoot. However, I found a photographer who had great pictures on her facebook. They were clear and high quality and had good composition and were edited well. All important things to me. She hadn't really done a lifestyle shoot before but I had a feeling she'd be able to pull it off. So we met at this cute little Snow Shack by my house one evening and this is the result. She did such a great job. I'm very happy with them.<br />

Because we hired someone for the above pictures, I thought we could manage a few that were more traditional. Looking back, probably never again. Ellie does great with the timer on the camera, but getting a good shot and only getting to take one picture at a time was too time consuming. And the mosquitoes were eating me alive. I'm allergic to their bites too so the days following was me laying on the couch with ice both on my back and my legs. So thankful Ellie didn't get bit. Surprisingly!<br />
And James and I didn't get a picture just the two of us. Oh well, right? *sad face*</div>

For the 4th of July we went to the park downtown where they have some events. One thing they do is chalk art on the side walks. We went when Ellie was a baby and thought she like to check it out this year. There were some really impressive masterpieces but of course Needed a picture of Anna and Elsa (even though, I admit, they look a little weird).</div>

Earlier that morning Ellie pooped in the potty for the first time. She decided she wanted to potty train after seeing her best friend Phoebe use the potty at our house and she has done awesome since. So anyways, for pooping in the potty (which is a big hurdle for toddlers!) she got to pick out some ice cream. Yummy!</div>

It gets dark late around here and James and I didn't care enough to go anywhere and our neighbors across the street always go firework crazy so we figured we could just watch them light theirs. But my friend Lindsay, who lives kitty-corner from us, invited us to their firework extravaganza so here are some pictures from that. </div>

Well look at that. June came and went. I said at the end of May, "We have all of June, all of July, then we're having a baby in August." And just as anticipated, June flew by. This pregnancy, while I really really hoped for better than the last, has been sooo hard since 26 weeks. I was pretty sick up until 16 and had a few good weeks after that which was good since James was injured. Then at 26 weeks, all the upper right back pain, that radiates through my right ribs, like I had with Ellie, came back and has only gotten worse. James and I think it is worse than when I was pregnant with Ellie. Although, I do have to do a lot more now this time around having a 2 year old at home. But grateful for naps because I HAVE to lay down by 1-2pm for the majority of the rest of the night.</div>
Anyways...<br />

James and Ellie playing at the table. Ellie is really into all her little toy; like her Magiclip Cinderella, the Little People she has, and the fairies and ponies that came from the dollar section at Target. She likes to sit there, in that spot. and play with them all.<br />

Ellie got to have a few play dates with her best little friend, Phoebe, this month too. They are so cute together. They are about 4-5 months apart and are on complete opposite ends of the height spectrum, as you can see. Makes us laugh.</div>

I saw someone ask a question on Facebook about the circus and I thought, "Huh? What Circus?" I looked it up and found out the Shriner Circus was in town that weekend. I thought Ellie would really enjoy going so I threw the idea past James and we agreed to take her. But come the day of, I just couldn't go. I was in so much pain and laid down all day long. I tried to rest so I could go, because I was really upset about it, but every time I got up the pain settled in fast and I knew I wouldn't be able to sit in the chairs James said he would take her alone on a date. I sent him with my camera! I was so sad to miss it, like I said.<br />
<br />
Ellie had a blast!! It was a lot longer than I expected it to be too so I am glad I didn't go. I wouldn't have lasted that long. James said Ellie's favorite part was the guy coming out of the Cannon and she still talks about that. They also had a pony, camel or elephant that people could ride for more money, James spoiled Ellie and let her ride the pony. She doesn't look super happy in the picture but James said she enjoyed it and it was hard to take a picture and walk along side her, ha.<br />
I'm glad she had fun with her daddy and that she still talks about going. That makes it all worth it. It's crazy how much we enjoy doing special things for our kids.</div>

Ellie has really been into Cinderella lately and I scored this magnet set off a Facebook yard sale for a couple of bucks and she plays with it almost everyday. I love watching her playing and imagination have evolved too. She used to just mix it all up and look for an outfit to put on her, but now she makes a "closet" of all Cinderella's clothes. James and I found this laying out after she went down for a nap and I had to take a picture. She had never matched the gloves and flowers and hats together before that I've noticed. She also takes an interest in wedding dresses and veils and since Cinderella doesn't have a veil in this set she uses the fan and holds it behind Cinderella's head and calls it a veil. After I saw the fan it in the collection lying there, I decided to make one. (not pictured). But I took some sheer white fabric, cut it and glued it onto a magnet that James flattened and cut down. She loves it and now the fan is properly used as a fan again.</div>

I have a long chore list for James to get done before the baby comes. I feel bad, but not really, you know what I mean? LOL. But my car needed a good cleaning so I sent James out there with Ellie and they got to scrubbing. Ellie had a lot of fun! It's all new and exciting to her which makes it fun for us too.</div>

I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect bed for Ellie's big girl room and I found one off of a Facebook yard sale page. We decide to strip the chipped white/glazed paint and just give it a fresh coat. Between me being pregnant and James' knee injury it took us WAY TOO LONG. But Ellie was so excited to be in a big girl bed. She did great. The first morning she came out on her own and woke us up. I was surprised. I thought for sure she'd stay in there and yell at us over the monitor that she was awake. Then after a few nights she tested what would happen if she got up after we put her down. She quickly learned that she just goes right back in there. So that pretty much has stopped. She also was caught playing for way too long during a nap and reading books. While it was adorable and melted my heart, she needs naps still so I had to correct that too. All those situations have been super minor though. I'm so grateful with how well she took to her new bed. She's a big girl now!!</div>

We had a dead tree in our backyard. I was sad to see it go. Out backyard was landscaped in a pattern along that back wall so now that pattern is all messed up. Ha. However, now I have a spot to put a gardening box if I ever decide to. Our backyard doesn't get good sun until the afternoon and even then the trees shade all open spaces that a garden box could possibly go. So we'll see. I'm getting used to the empty space now.</div>

She cracks me up. Roll playing every second she gets.<br />

Here are some more April pictures...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I planned that April 1st would be time to get rid of the Paci. She was only using it when she slept but it was time. We talked about it with her for awhile. We talked about how she would throw it in the trash and save it for the baby. For some reason that logic made sense to her. She didn't have a single problem with it. She asked for it a few times at night which I just told her, "We threw it away, remember?" And that was that.<br />

This dress has been a favorite of Ellie's. She would wear it all day everyday if I let her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how I gave her a snack and she seated herself right there in the entryway. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I rarely check on Ellie before I go to bed. But she had a rough time going to sleep this night so I checked on her and found her through the bars. Makes me wonder how many other times that has happened. Ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If she isn't wearing this dress, or any other dress, she has her Elsa cape and crown on. But when she pairs both together, magical. She really is a Princess. I really do enjoy how girly she is. She plays princess all day long.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And if she's not pretend-playing princess she's playing with her Princesses. My mom bought her this Cinderella Magiclip doll when we were in AZ in March. I knew she'd like it because she watches these youtube videos of a lady making play-doh dresses for her Magiclip dolls. And that lady makes a lot of money, by the way. Sure enough, Ellie loves it. She carries Cinderella and her pink and blue dress around everywhere and makes play-doh dresses for her too.</div>

I found Ellie a bed off a facebook yard sale page and decided to give it a fresh coat of paint. We used a stripper for the first time which was nicer than sanding, sorta, but it left a huge mess. Ellie loved to help vacuum it up. Cinderella, Cinderella.</div>

James tore his ACL and Meniscus playing soccer at church in the middle of April. Long story short, he had surgery 2 weeks later. He has to be on crutches for 6 weeks in full leg brace.</div>

James and I made plans to grow our family. In December I knew I could take a test as soon as the 19th. James didn't remember that that was the day so I decided to take it after he left for work and surprise him if it was positive. That morning he was taking his sweet time leaving the house (or so it felt) and I had to pee soooo bad. Haha! But I took it and couldn't stop shaking. Just anxiously excited. Within seconds it read Pregnant! Gah. I was so excited and still shaking. But now I had to wait ALL day to tell James so I thought of all different kind of ways to tell him.<br />I decided to do a "bun in the oven." I had what I was going to say all prepared and had one roll in the oven waiting for him. We had mexican food for dinner so a roll definitely didn't fit the menu. But just my luck, James had to stay late at work so I had to change up what I was going to say since Ellie and I were going to go ahead and eat.<br />I set up the camera and had his dinner on the table so I could tell him his was in the oven before he looked at the table. I turned the camera on when I heard the garage open and quickly sat down. Well...he gets home and then has to go the bathroom. Like seriously?! I paused the camera and waited for the toilet to flush. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told James his was in the oven and he just opens the oven and grabs the rolls and starts eating it and walks toward the table (out of the line of the camera). Not how I envisioned that going. Haha. But I was like wait, wait, wait and pushed him back to the kitchen. Then I think he saw the camera and I asked, "Did you get that bun out of the oven?" He got it right away. We were excited and hugged and awww so cute. Glad I recorded it too. Pretty funny.<br /><br />I did a series of pictures when I was pregnant with Ellie so I wanted to do that again this time.This is the first picture in the series.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-zOmOjpAnMoCNbtyRgy1LFRx29KVP0vojRR43JMXnchVgT2wiJ6DDd_RGyhR9c7IULqdFf0EQKxdB-GmavRHBdqiZ6_b6LDpvv3APnZCJgTO_6-qXHwqYGnBAnVWCW48uqX6QNsEJPo0/s1600/IMG_1694a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-zOmOjpAnMoCNbtyRgy1LFRx29KVP0vojRR43JMXnchVgT2wiJ6DDd_RGyhR9c7IULqdFf0EQKxdB-GmavRHBdqiZ6_b6LDpvv3APnZCJgTO_6-qXHwqYGnBAnVWCW48uqX6QNsEJPo0/s1600/IMG_1694a.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a><br /><br />11.4 weeks.

About 14 weeks at my dad's wedding rehearsal dinner I had a huge plate of mexican food and I swear ever since that I felt like I was for sure showing. And to be honest, I know I'm pregnant, but why is getting bigger so depressing? So irrational but it happens. </div>

<br />Since I recorded telling James I was pregnant I wanted to record our reaction to what the gender was. James really wanted a boy and I wanted another girl. I think I wanted a girl because that's what I have so I know girls and I have a sister so I wanted Ellie to have a sister. But to be honest, I know brothers and sisters can be best of friends too so after giving it lots of thought I decided a boy wouldn't be too bad either. Most people guessed I'd have a boy and I think that was influencing my guess too. Ellie was saying the entire time that it was a girl until the day of the ultrasound she said it was a boy. No idea why she changed her mind.<br />So the tech didn't tell us right away. She worked her way down the body. James was recording in the beginning since we thought she may look for us real quick but once I realized she wasn't going to I told James to turn it off and asked her to tell us when she got down there.<br />I saw the two legs and told James it was time to turn it on. As she was asking us what our guess was I saw it there on the screen. His little boy parts clear as day! James could NOT stop smiling. He is so excited and so am I. Going to be a new experience for sure and Ellie is going to be a great big sister. I'm so lucky she is my first born. She is so sweet and helpful and excited to be an assistant. I talk to her all the time about holding the baby, rocking the baby and getting the baby's paci,, etc.<br /><br />I told the tech to get a really good profile pictures for me. She kept going back to his face but his little hands wouldn't leave. Man, I'm excited to see what he looks like!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKeXP6ch3M-77rki6mhEFDQSqpLLFy_54EOhjaUG1QwkuuhbjHx2FgUXekktDBgZnPzHN39v9f2_RAckZvATGNtg2bqttCdIZbvVQ6vsE7RnWPuQj-_5qw1xlc-tNb95OpCd0zKGmpwjQ7/s1600/profile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKeXP6ch3M-77rki6mhEFDQSqpLLFy_54EOhjaUG1QwkuuhbjHx2FgUXekktDBgZnPzHN39v9f2_RAckZvATGNtg2bqttCdIZbvVQ6vsE7RnWPuQj-_5qw1xlc-tNb95OpCd0zKGmpwjQ7/s1600/profile.jpg" height="536" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />After the ultrasound and my Dr.'s appt James went to work and Ellie and I went shopping. I wanted to get a Little Brother onesie to do in our gender picture. I checked the second hand store first because I knew Carter's would have one but I of course always trying to save money where I can. I ended up getting it at Carter's. We ran home and it was past nap time but I wanted to get this picture done. Ellie was such a trooper. Thank goodness for chocolate chips!<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course having Ellie be a big sister is super exciting so I had to use her in our "General Reveal." I had two outfits and couldn't decide which one I liked better on her. I went with the light pink dress for Facebook but I wanted to post both on here. </div>

About this pregnancy:<br />I started out 10lbs less than I did when I got pregnant with Ellie but now I'm the exact same as I was at this time with Ellie. Kind of weird (and slightly sad). I was hoping not to gain as much as I did with Ellie but my whole body likes to be pregnant I guess, not just by belly.<br />I was much more sick this pregnancy. I only threw up once when I was pregnant with Ellie and I've only thrown up once this pregnancy too (after brushing my teeth-gag) but I've felt much more nauseous and ZERO energy. The exhaustion was all day long and the nausea hit around lunch time and got worse at night. With Ellie I was only nauseous at night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to call the doctor and get a prescription for Zofran to help take the edge off but she first prescribed me another medicine that made me soo much worse! I couldn't get out of bed or eat or anything. It was horrible. I thought I was done for and that's how the first 4 months were going to be. I had someone lined up to watch Ellie on Monday but Monday morning I was feeling well enough to get out of bed. I didn't want to cry wolf so I text my neighbor and told her I thought I'd be okay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ellie knew I was sick and she coped well. She even came up with her own song, "Mom's sick. Dad at work..." Sad but cute I suppose.<br />I finally got Zofran and honestly I still don't know if it helped or not. I still was pretty nauseous but maybe not as bad? I still took it anyways. I was scared not to remembering how bad it could get. About 13 weeks I finally was having better days and more energy. Now, at 18 weeks, I still feel low energy but I can leave the house. James has done so much grocery shopping and errands for me I'm very grateful so I'm trying to get back in the groove.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some other symptoms: I've had many more vivid dreams than I ever remember having with Ellie. Especially in the beginning. It was like a full on movie every night. My cravings have been very similar between the two pregnancies too. So nothing alluded to whether this was a boy or girl according to old wives tales.<br />That's all I can think of for now. Almost 1/2 way! Despite being sick for so long I feel like it's already going by fast! And now that I know that the baby is a BOY I have a lot of nursery planning to do and finish Ellie's big girl room. Yay!</div>

After some time in Arizona James and I rented a car and drove 4.5 hours to New Mexico to see our friends.</div>
<br />
Timing just worked out perfect with my dad's wedding and Tania being due with her 4th baby that we made sure to plan an entire vacation and go and see the new baby and spend time with our friends in New Mexico.<br />
This picture is from Tania's facebook. But her kids are just the cutest and they love their new addition, baby Clint.<br />

Ellie was in heaven while we were there. I've mentioned before how much she loves attention and playing with other people so having 3 other kids to play with from 7am-8pm everyday couldn't have gotten any better for her. Jane and Ellie are the same age but Ellie seems to gravitate toward the older kids. Ellie got all wide eyed when she saw Sadie's dolls in the closet so Sadie was nice enough to play dolls with Ellie. I wish I could give Ellie an older sibling, haha.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
New toys are always exciting. Ellie loved this doll house and all the tiny babies that were in it. She frequently lined them up across the couch just to check them all out.</div>

The bubble machine was a big hit they got to do before bed. Notice the difference between boys and girls. Ellie and Jane would clap at the bubbles and chase them around while Everett Karate kicked them. </div>

I cannot wait for Ellie to be a big sister. She adored this baby and was so gentle while rocking him.</div>

It was "cold" outside for the most part but my kid needs to be outside, a lot, so I bundled her (because she wouldn't have it any other way) and Jane up and threw them out there a few times. </div>

I've been holding out to get Ellie's haircut until we saw Tania. Her hair has curl but it was often falling straight after naps or in the carseat and it just wasn't looking right. And she had a long tail in the back and long wings in the side so it needed trimming. I didn't think of a before picture until after she got started, but this one is before enough...but it doesn't look bad here since I did it and sprayed it and all that.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, she was so into getting her haircut. Such a girl. And she got a sucker afterwards. She couldn't stop talking about it for days after either. "Knee-uh (Tania) Haircut and sucker."</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since cutting it short the curls stay better and if it goes straight you can still see wave and nicely cut layers vs long crazy baby hair. But hey, she was bald for so long that I'm so grateful we got to get a haircut! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We rented a car from Arizona but we flew back to Idaho from Albuquerque. It was a 2.5 hour drive back to Alb. from where we were so we left to get the car back by 11am and our flight was at 2pm. The Alb. airport is small but Ellie and James walked around a lot and Ellie found her fair share of things to jump off of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But let me tell you this story...we got there and went through the security and we have our system down to a T. I make sure to get the carseat hand checked because it's probably too big for the scanner and it's attached to the roller so undoing it would be a pain. All the other airports we've been through James, Ellie and I all go through the metal detector vs the x-ray scanner. That's usually what they do when you have small children. But at this airport they said only one parent could go through the metal detector the other had to do the x-ray scanner. I've never done the x-ray scanner so I told James I'd just go with Ellie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes after going through they swap your hands for explosive materials and the computer reads the swap. They probably do that since there wasn't an x-ray scanner to detect anything hidden on your body I suppose? This time they did swab my hands, which, normally, no big deal. But this time she said I failed the test. I thought she just reswab or something but no a whole bunch of people came over and were looking at the computer that read 100%! The lady said she never sees it say 100%. She mentioned to the man how she wasn't able to do the "pat down" so here comes this other lady and she said she was going to have to go through all my stuff and take me into a private room. What on Earth!? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course they stop the anxiety girl! However, I wasn't too anxious and James got to stay with me so it was fine. But they asked what bags were mine and I wasn't allowed to touch them or my shoes. They went through them and swabbed them and I saw the computer say pass. Then they took us into a private closet and there was one lady who explained what she was going to do and the other lady watching probably to be sure she followed all the rules and did it professionally and what not. But she had to touch around my boobs and my groin and in the waist band of my pants. It was fun. HA! Ellie kept saying I was getting a haircut?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the pat down the observer lady swabbed the gloves of the lady that just patted me down and went and tested for that explosive material and it passed so I was good to go. But here are the weird things about all this...I was holding Ellie the entire time and they never once swabbed her or checked her. I pointed to which bags were mine but James was with me, they didn't take extra precaution and recheck his bags. I could have not pointed to my bags and James would have just grabbed them. So in my opinion, while it didn't matter in my situation because I knew nothing was wrong, if it did happen to someone who really was bringing explosives on the plane I sure hope they would check EVERYTHING. Quite the experience. And afterwards I felt like they were probably watching me from all the cameras in the ceiling. HA! JK. Sort of.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We flew to Arizona on Feb. 27th for my Dad's wedding on the 28th. My dad and Pam have been together for 10 years and finally decided it was time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had wanted a carseat roller ever since I saw someone have one so I had been on the look out for a second hand one and I was lucky enough to find one at a consignment sell they do twice a year. It was so nice to have to carry Ellie or her carseat through the airport. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ellie was SO excited to go on an airplane. She couldn't stop talking about it. She has been on planes many times before but this time she obviously understood more of what was going on and where we were headed.</div>
</div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi12ItDxL4D-pHm5Ntd76OkF-EHJTYmuxwO9_nlezMJVwpKfDRvlfIOrCQTW9cnWgTXQKWHsFpt8i5U505cpOu_p8AjpQt7NvVFSmVf4JOc2Vjnw2KZgCYhcHKdHdEqQv7hZDLoJ3BtdVu/s1600/20150227_122604.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi12ItDxL4D-pHm5Ntd76OkF-EHJTYmuxwO9_nlezMJVwpKfDRvlfIOrCQTW9cnWgTXQKWHsFpt8i5U505cpOu_p8AjpQt7NvVFSmVf4JOc2Vjnw2KZgCYhcHKdHdEqQv7hZDLoJ3BtdVu/s1600/20150227_122604.jpeg" height="640" width="360" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The flight went smoothly but flying into Phx was a little bumpy and made me nauseous and hot. Yuck. Oh and when we took off Ellie was looking out the window and turns to James and says, "My tummy" and laughs. Gave us a good laugh. She probably had that roller coaster feeling in her tummy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't have a lot of time before we had to head to the rehearsal so we met Cassidy at my mom's house, had a snack and headed out. Dinner was at my dad's and we had mexican food. I was so excited. I've been telling James for awhile that I was craving restaurant style mexican food. So it hit the spot and made me look a little large in the tummy after that! Food baby+baby!!<br />
<br />
Ellie had so much fun playing with her cousin Camden. I've mentioned before how their only a little over a month apart. They were running and jumping around and play screaming (which was cute but annoying at the same time). Glad they were able to entertain themselves though.<br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /><b>A few pictures to come...maybe</b></span><br />
<br />
The next day we mostly hung out and then got ready to go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were asked to wear a purple dress of some sort. I found mine at target and felt the waistline was high enough for comfort. And I found it on clearance. Bonus. I found Ellie's dress at Carter's and the two dresses ended up being the exact same color. Cassidy was having a hard time finding a dress but I picked hers out off Target.com and it fit so yay.<br />
I wasn't sure if it would be cold or not so I bought us sweaters just in case and then thought man if 60ish degrees in Idaho is hot to me 75 degrees is going to kill me. But the day was overcast and once the wedding was over and everyone was inside it started to rain. So, I'm glad I bought sweaters. </div>

My Birthday wasn't too eventful this year. I wasn't feeling the greatest so I didn't want James to plan anything big. We planned on meeting James at work for lunch but while I while getting ready Ellie came in and told me about her foot being dirty. I looked and it looked like grease so I thought maybe she stuck her foot near or by something but then she goes "come mom, come, I show you." So I followed her into the family room and gasped!!!! There was something black all over my rug. I have pictures but it does not do it justice. It was a very large spot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first used a paper towel and tried to soak up as much black at possible and then tried using my best carpet cleaner and that didn't do much. I poured water over it to dilute it and that helped a little. Then I got dawn and vinegar mix and scrubbed it. The dawn made sooo many suds though so then I was working on getting the soap out but the stain did eventually go away. Ellie was so concerned. I wasn't freaking out but she knew it wasn't good. She wanted to help pour and dry. She's so sweet.</div>
But it came from these kiddy lawn chairs we have outside. She had brought them in that morning and I don't know if it's mud or some sort of rust or what and I have no idea how it would have gotten wet inside but the wetness was poured out when she tipped the chair to move it around.<br />
<br />
Soo after that clean up we made lunch and headed to James' work. We ate with him and he gave me my gift which was a purse I saw while window shopping one weekend. Then we headed to Anthropologie so I could use my Birthday coupon. After walking around 20 times and worrying about Ellie breaking something I finally decided on a candle that is like the signature Anthro smell. I have to say, that is the best candle I have ever purchased. It smells so good and makes the entire house smell good. I highly recommend it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I did not feel like cake for my Birthday but I was craving Apple Crisp so we made "Apple Cake," according to Ellie. We also didn't plan the candles well (After all, it's my b-day I should have to plan. Right? Ha) so we made a 6 using one of the 3 from James' B-day.<br />
It was super late because the crisp took so long so we were trying to hurry so I could get some pictures with Ellie too. I blew out the candles and everything and then I realized no one sang to me! Hahaha! SO we did it again.<br />

As mentioned in the previous post, Ellie LOVES getting up on the chair and watching and/or helping me cook or bake. She is very careful and doesn't touch stuff when I ask her too but she also loves to "try it." I asked James to take these pictures so I could remember this cute little time.</div>

And that outfit! Seriously kills me. She is just barely starting to ask for certain clothes and she saw this skirt hanging in the closet and wanted to wear it. I don't mind if it's around the house but in public...she wears what I say, while I have a say that is. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She enjoys helping me with the dryer whether that's putting the clothes in or taking them out.</div>

The day before Valentine's Day I decided I should try and be a fun mom and make some sugar cookies. I've never made them before and looked at tons of different recipes and made sure we had the ingredients on hand. The recipe I used the dough was super dry to work with, I could hardly roll it but then they turned out great so that was good.<br />
When I set the dough on the table to roll out Ellie said, "Play-doh?" Yes but no. Haha once she realized they were cookies and she could eat this dough, she couldn't stop! We use cookie cutters with her play-doh a lot but since this dough was dry it was kind of frustrating letting her help too much because the cut out would break easily if she tried to lift it on the plan.

On Valentine's morning James made breakfast with Ellie and when I came out there were some goodies on the table already so I added the ones I got to it.</div>

I got this Frozen story set for Ellie a long time ago but never gave it to her so Valentine's Day seemed like a perfect day for it. She literally played with it all day and that's not an exaggeration! She still loves it and plays with it at least once a day, at least!<br />
I got a lotion I asked for and James got the same chocolates I get every year, it's tradition.</div>

Again with that skirt. And notice the gloves. Those are Elsa gloves. And the shoes. It's not cold she just loves them and they're easy for her to put on. She carries them over the wall or door and braces herself against the wall or door and sticks her foot in them and pushes down. I have since had to put the boots up so she stops choosing those ones. The outfit of choice was picture worthy!</div>

<br />Ellie loves to play outside. She always wants to go outside and wants me to play with her. She also loves to swing aka "spin." Something I wanted to remember so I also took some pictures. After I wind the swing up I say, "Ready, set..." she used to say "go" but I was joking around once and said "Baby GoGo" which is a character from Yo Gabba Gabba so now she says Baby GoGo or some other random goofy thing before I let the spinning unwind. She thinks she's hysterical. </div>

Happy Birthday to James!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His Birthday landed on a Saturday this year which is always nice. We went out to breakfast at a local restaurant and then we went out to a few store afterwards and he found himself a new pair of pants. Yay, because my present to him this year was lame. A shirt. Ha.</div>
The day before Ellie and I made James a cake from scratch. German Chocolate. I big favorite around here. Ellie helped a lot. She LOVES helping in the kitchen now and scoots her chair over. She likes to crack the eggs-which is always a risk and she likes to pour in ingredients after I scoop them. And of course, likes to eat the batter off the spoons when we're done. <br />
I hid the cake in the laundry room because I knew he wouldn't be going in there. <br />
I did need something from the grocery store before dinner, but because it was his b-day I volunteered to go. James thought I made an excuse to go get a cake but nooo!!! He was very surprised to see I made a cake and was able to hide it.<br />
<br />
Ever since her b-day, then Christmas, then James' b-day, Ellie has become well versed in presents and b-day cake. She was all about the cake and was very excited about dad's present. Funny story...we got him a shirt at Marshalls and I kept telling her that we were looking for a shirt for dad's b-day present. Well, afterwards we were driving home and I let Ellie talk to James on the phone and she says, "Present for Dad's Birthday" and James couldn't understand what she was saying so he kept inquiring and she kept repeating the same thing and all I could do was laugh. He never caught on though. But now whenever he wears that shirt she immediately remembers and says, "Present for Birthday!." She has an elephant brain like her mommy. She doesn't forget the little things.<br />

I was super excited for Christmas this year because Ellie seemed to really grasp the idea. Well, at least the idea of presents. We were determined not to travel for Christmas this year because I really wanted to have Christmas in our home which we didn't have a chance to do yet. And I wanted to start creating our own traditions as well.</div>
<br />
I was lucky enough to get our flocked tree from someone in my ward who bought a new one and at first I wasn't thrilled about the idea of fake snow but I loved it! I don't know if I could go back to a regular green one. But it sure was messy!!<br />

My mom and sister were able to fly in Christmas day to spend Christmas and a few extra days with us. So in the morning Ellie opened gifts that Santa had brought. Her big gifts were a few Little People sets which she really enjoys. </div>

My sister got Ellie some play-doh which she LOVES. She plays with it so much that I've already had to rebuy a set because it dries out so quick. Kind of a rip off. I swear they make it dry out fast on purpose?! </div>

Ellie's picture with Santa this year. I tired to prepare her and she seemed excited until she got up there. She didn't cry but definitely gave the cold shoulder and wouldn't even look toward the camera. She even still talks about it, 3 months later (post dated blog post), if she sees something that reminds her of Santa or sees this picture. "Mom! Santa. I sad." Cross our fingers that 2015 is better. </div>

After traveling about, Linda ended up back with us for a little bit to work on some paperwork with James. Then we drove her to Moses Lake where she was going to spend Christmas with her dad. We spent a few days there just hanging out. </div>

<br />This was the first time Ellie REFUSED to sleep in her pack and play. For two nights she just stayed up late with us after several attempts and ended up sleeping in our bed which she hasn't done since she was a newborn so I'm surprised she even did that. The last night we put her in the big bed right away and she was fine. So strange.<br /><br />She liked this big doll that was in the bedroom.</div>

Ellie turning 2 has been so fun. She talks a lot and is learning new things every single days.</div>
Thanks to Frozen and the snow that happened in November Ellie has started to really enjoy snowmen. One morning we were drawing on her magnadoodle and she asked me to draw a snowman. I drew the circles and she added the details when I'd say, "Draw the arms. Draw the hat," etc.<br />

We had a mini session with the photographer who did our spring pictures but since we were out and ready I brought my tripod and took some picture of us and of Ellie for a few 2 year old pictures. It got cold fast that night so taking pictures required sucker bribery. </div>

Her Birthday Party was much more low key this year. Just our closest friends and their kiddos. I debated what "theme" to go with for Ellie's B-day this year and I really wanted to put Christmas decorations up right away this year, probably because the early snow, but since Ellie had really been into Snowmen I felt like that theme was easy enough to go along with. </div>

Ellie got a new baby doll, which she clearly was excited about. And my friend Andrea made her an awesome diaper bag with some diapers and wipes. Perfect for Ellie.</div>

Well, another year in the books. Ellie has been, I feel, an easy baby and now 2 year old. She is pretty easy going and doesn't really cry or throw fits. She is quick to obey. She does however talk a lot and uses 3-4 word sentences. She wants someone to play with all the time. We are working on learning to play on her own but she is just a social only child who likes having attention.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loves going to nursery at church. She has had a few rough days wanting to go in but usually that's when no one is in there yet or a substitute teacher is in there. But for the most part she marches right in. People always comment on how sweet she is and how petite she is (19.5lbs and 30in. tall). I've mentioned many times, but she has mostly moved on from Yo Gabba Gabba and into Frozen which I'm totally okay with, it's fun. She loves snacks and playing outside despite the colder temperatures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loves getting dressed for church and likes to look pretty. She runs around the house with her Elsa cape (seen in previous post) singing Let it Go. She doesn't have all the words down yet, only the important parts. I'm trying to think of more so I don't forget how fun she was at this time but that's all I'm remembering right now.</div>
<br />
It's crazy to me how much one little person can change, grow and learn in 2 years.<br />

<br /><br />Ellie loved the snow! We played in it a lot! And by we, I mean most of the days I sent her out on her own. Funny how cold doesn't bother kids a much as adults. But I really think she loved the snow because of the influence the movie Frozen had on her. Funny how movies can do that. </div>

My mom flew in on Thanksgiving day to spend a few days. This was the only picture I took, FAIL! But I made a Turkey in the electric roaster which is so darn easy and fast and I made all the sides too. Even with 3 adults and 1 toddler we still had to have it all or it just wouldn't be the same.<br />

October was all about Halloween. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we picked out pumpkins I explained to Ellie we needed a mama pumpkin, dada pumpkin and baby pumpkin. Ellie was really into the baby pumpkin and would try to carry it around saying, "It's the baby." </div>

I took the opportunity to get some detail picture of Ellie. She was 22 months. Her hair really started growing in after we got back from Oklahoma in July. It really thickened up and grew long enough to have wings. It was also starting to get a lot of wave.</div>

We carved pumpkins for FHE one night while watching Frozen. Ellie finally broke away from Yo Gabba Gabba and I got her into Frozen. We did a Frozen theme. Believe it or not, this is the first pumpkin I carved by myself. I was always intimidated by carving anything other than a jack-o-lantern but it was really a lot easier than I expected. </div>

My friend Tania wanted her daughter to be a Chick this year and suggested I do the same. I looked it up on Pinterest and thought it was adorable and it took the guess work out of what she'd be so I went ahead and made her costume.<br />
I got a white long sleeved onesie and sewed 2 white boas around it. This was actually kinda hard because the tension had to be just right or the thread would snap so I sewed and knotted one stitch at a time. Actually, there were 2 onesies. In-between the two was filling to puff her out a bit. The leggings I found as a second hand store that went with a duck costume. The hat I made with an old onesie. The Hannah Anderson brand pilot hats were too expensive so I searched for a pattern and made one myself along with the red comb on top. Ellie never complained once wearing it. Yay!!<br />

We had a surprise B-day party for our friends little girl Phoebe. She turned 2 in July but with many events going on those summer months the party never happened. So a few months late but Phoebe didn't know the difference.<br />

Man, going through pictures I realized the month of August was all about visitors. Which I love.</div>
Shortly after we left Oklahoma, Thomas and his girls drove up to Washington where we relocated some stuff. Along the way Linda caught a ride and they stopped at our house before continuing their trek. Having Grandma here is always fun. Ellie loves the attention (it's so crazy to look back at these and see how little Ellie was and it wasn't even that long ago!)<br />

James' dad was buried in Rexburg so we had a memorial for him here too. We drove over with Linda that morning and that evening James, Ellie and I drove back. I'm surprised we made it there and back in one day, go us!<br />
<br />
The memorial was great. All of the Idaho and some Washington/Utah family was there and it was just great hearing more stories of what a great man Rick was.<br />

Also in August my friend Tania drove from New Mexico to Utah for a baby shower and thought, "Well, if I'm in Utah, I might as well should just drive to Idaho." So alone, with 3 kids, and 12 weeks pregnant she came to visit. She's wonder woman. I could never do that. I get so zoned and tired even on the shortest car trips.<br />

I think it was either the same day or day after Tania left that my mom flew in for a visit. While she was here went to this "Petting Zoo" called Babby Farms, which was fun. It was hot and if Ellie was a little older it may have been better but I enjoy seeing the different animals up close like that. </div>
