And by the way...

I am having prego brain so much lately! Three posts in one night. I think that is a record. Today I had my 34 week appointment. I have been feeling so much pressure, and have been a little nervous since I dilated 6 weeks early with tristyn. My doctor said that my cervix is very soft and she is head down and very low. She said by this time, if I go into labor or start to dilate they will not try to stop anything. She estimates that Cara is around 5 pounds right now. Her room is coming together. I do not want to put the final pics up until it is finished... completely! But everything is going smoothly. I think that's it. i will post Memorial Day pics up later. I think 4 posts would over due it for tonight.

Sorry mommy!


Here is your Mother's day Picture with tristyn... I didn't forget about you. Love ya!

Busy busy!!!

On Saturday (the day before Mother's Day), we took tristyn to Universal for the last time until Cara arrives. I was technically supposed to sit in a wheel chair the whole day (doctors orders since Cara is so low), but you know me... I am stubborn. I just cannot take this heat and walking around for 6 hours. She of course enjoyed herself!











Mother's Day ...


This is our Mothers Day picture that was taken for us at Church. It turned out great!






Tristyn's finished product.


She looks so thrilled to take a picture... yeah right. (She was very tired)

For Mothers Day we invited our moms and my Grana over for a BBQ lunch (thanks to Sonney's). We had a great time. It was very relaxing, but of course my mother was in the kitchen the majority of the time cleaning. She is a sweetheart! I made each of them a piture frame and Tristyn helped me by dipping her little fingers in paint for the butterfly, and caterpillars on the frame. Tristyn decorated her first cake with pink icing and red heart prinkles on top. I was so proud of her. I have got to say... this is the way to go. I think mext year we may do the same thing but the day before Mother's Day... we will see!


















We had a small party in tristyn Preschoool class on Friday before her Birthday Party. Tristyn's first bite of jello cupcakes (I attempted to try and make them). they turned out good... I think!




Tristyn is 3 years old! I can't believe it... Even though sometimes she scts like she's 6. These three years has gone by too fast. It feels like yesterday when I was holding her in my arms rocking her to sleep. Such a precious little girl she was ans still is!
So, for this years big celebration, she wanted a Princess theme. That was easy enough. I made the cupcakes and the cake myself, and put together all the decorations. Can you say PINK!!! that is just about the only color that was in my dining that day. She was such a proud little princess.

Baby Shower and much more!

Today was my baby shower and Tristyn's first time at the nail salon. I let her get her fingernails and toenails painted. She chose purple with sparkles. What a sweetheart she was!

I am going on 31 weeks (on Tuesday). Time is flying by. My doctor officially scheduled my c-section for July 1st, which means I will be coming home from the hospital on the 4th of July. What a celebration that will be! With our new baby girl at home. Lots of adjusting to do, of course.


I am so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. Cara got a lot of cute things today. Wash cloths and towels, cute clothes and bows, a high chair, two baby slings (one maya wrap and the other my friend Amber made), diapers and wipes and tons of other things! we are so thankful! The only two things that we need before she comes is the dresser and the baby bedding. Of course the baby bedding is not a necessity, but it is nice to have. I'm all about decorating her room.


After the shower, my mom took a few maternity photos of me out in our backyard.

Here are a few pics of the day.
