The end is near

Well Friday will be 3 weeks until my due date and with Sydnie coming 3 weeks early I feel very done! I can't fit into my clothes anymore. Gregs shirts and basketball shorts are mostly what I wear. I can't sleep because my hips are killing me from only sleeping on my sides. It is a battle just to get off the couch, through crowds of people and even putting lotion on my legs, which I hardly shave anymore either. I just want to be skinny and comfortable. I had a doc. app today which I drove 25 mins to and when I got there they said they didn't have a provider working today, they claim they called me but they only have my cell phone on file and I had no calls from them. Lame. I was hoping to get some kind of peace of mind. You see I had no Idea I was dialated to a 5 with Sydnie until I went to my doc app. so I wanted them to check me, I hate not knowing if I am in labor or not. Well they set me up for friday at 4:30, hopefully I will get some good news. Im sure I will forget all about this process and do it all over again in 2 years!
I do want a big family. Im just venting haha.

Got the Keys!

We FINALLY officially got our new house. We are so excited and will be moving in next week sometime. Greg wants to fix a few things before we do. We found renters that seem like they will work out wonderfully. The lord has blessed us plenty. Now lets just hope the baby can wait until we are all settled in the new house before she graces us with her presence.

House for Rent

Here is a link to a video of our house that we want to rent out. Please let me know if you know of anyone who would be interested. Thank you!

Moving?

Well we are very possibly moving to Hesperia. We are in escrow with a house on El Cerrito, so hopefully everything goes smoothly and we will be in the home next month sometime. Escrow is supposed to close Aug. 31st, however these things never happen on time so we will see. We are thrilled to be off of a dirt road and part of society again, but will miss our friends in our little ward.  By the way we want to rent our home that we live in now so if anyone knows someone who is looking for a house to rent let me know! Greg remodeled the whole house so pretty much everything is new and nice. It is a 3 bed 2 bath. Our new home will put us in the Arrowhead ward, which we are excited about as this is the ward we were in when we first got married. So fun!

Beach!

We went to the beach on saturday and it was so nice, very crowded but the weather was great and the water was perfect!

Sydnie loves the water, she kept walking further and further in when Greg was holding her hand

Little Mermaid
this is the only picture you will see of me because I look like a beached whale in a swimsuit right now haha


Cute beach hair haha

Blah

Ok so this is how i'm feeling right now. I am really not the kind of girl who loves to be pregnant. I am only 27 weeks and I am ready to have this little girl in my arms rather than my belly.  Why is it that when I am pregnant I become the most motivated mentally to get into shape? Probably because I look like a balloon. And I feel so lazy, due to the fact that I am tired far too often and I can't move around very quickly.  This is the price we pay to have these miracles in our lives. I feel like it is such a small price, but here I am voicing my complaints. haha

Well just 13 weeks to go, if im lucky it will be only 10 again. Next time I think I will try a little harder to wait a little longer. 

But if I have another one just like this who could ask for more!

If you give a 1yr old a cake.....

Well I took some pictures of her with balloons and eating cake, she LOVED the cake... of course.  I hope to take her to the park soon to do a little photo shoot with some cute clothes.

the pictures aren't in order because of the way they downloaded, the bottom comes first, oh well.

A Whole Year! WHAT?!?!

One year ago today I was checking into Saint Marys Hospital, telling the nurses,"I think im in labor, thats what my NP just told me at my app." (you can read all about it on my post from a year ago) Sydnie was 3 weeks early and I checked in dialated to a 5. She was so nice and didn't cause me pain until I was at an 8. Forty min. of pain and I got a "heaven shot" then 30 min later she was here. I was only in the hospital a total of 5 hours before she graced us with her presence. I could not believe the great love I had for her the moment I saw her! I didn't sleep much that night, one because the baby next to me was waling the whole time, and two because I just wanted to hold her and make sure she was still there and alive every 10 min. I am so blessed to have this little girl in my life, she is amazing and I love watching her grow every day. Every new step is exciting, from her first smile to laugh to sitting up to crawling, and she is now taking steps.  She is so innocent and pure, I can't help but to be happy around her. She makes me want to be a better mother and friend to her.  I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN A YEAR! The time goes by so fast! I feel like freezing it sometimes and keeping her right where she is. I LOVE HER soooo much! Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl!

P.S birthday pics and such to come later

Silverwood Lake

We went to Silverwood yesterday with the Dewey team. It was a little cloudy but I still got nice and burnt. I can't wait till Greg doesn't have to do Dewey and we can do more of these fun summer trips.

It was so funny, Sydnie fell asleep in her floaty! haha

She just loves her daddy

CAUTION: Graphic pictures below

Well after not being on the mountain bike in over a year Greg decided he would go out with his brother Tom and some other guys from church monday morning. He was going just a tad too fast and hit a jump and caught the upside of another jump head on. His front wheel was bent in half, he broke 2 bones in his hand and has plenty of road rash. Needless to say he has been doped up the past few days because of the pain, but it is fading slowly. He is just hoping the cast will be off before he goes to Havasupai in July with the scouts.

This is his yucky elbow, they wouldn't stitch it because it was too mangled at the time.
