House Changes

I took these pictures of Maddyn because she loves her picture taken. She learned how to ride her scooter the right way and wants to go outside to ride all day long. It has been too cold, but she doesn't care. We also have moved our house around to make room for the baby. We moved the computer out in the living room and filled up the armour with all of my work stuff. Maddyn has left the computer alone so far and I seem to work on things more when it is out here. We also had to get a TV stand because we were using the bottom of the armour for our tv stand. Then when we got the stand, we saw this ottoman that opens up with lots of room. It is perfect for a toy box that also functions as furniture. It really seems to help with Trevor's OCD and Maddyn understanding that her toys need to be cleaned up!

It is spring!!!

The weather has been so nice. we only have snow left on the side of our house. I can't believe the 8 foot tower of snow in front of our house is gone. I took these pictures today of Maddyn after church. She is getting so big and learning so much. She is also learning to test her boundaries ahhh not good for high blood pressure. We got her some baby stuff for her minnie doll for her birthday. She just started carrying minnie around in that car seat thing all day long. She tried to take it to nursery today, but we wouldn't let her. As soon as we got out of church she ran home to see minnie. I can't believe how much she loves minnie. We found minnie mouse pajamas at walmart yesterday and she didn't want to take them off today for church. So cute.

Aquarium

We went up to Salt Lake for Trevor's spring break. We had to get a bunch of stuff for the baby that is quickly coming. Maddyn was so good, we had to take her some where she would enjoy. She loved the Living Planet Aquarium. She look at all the fish and even tried to pet the sting ray.

Baby #2 update

My mom informed me the other day that she did not know much about the new baby because we always talk about Maddyn. I then realized that I dont think I have posted about this baby since we found out she is a girl. I am now 32 weeks a long with 55 days to go!!! I am already bigger in my belly now then I was with Maddyn when I gave birth. I have a lot of amniotic fluid with this baby so that is not a concern. She is moving constantly which is a change, because Maddyn never moved. I think I am ready and have everything we need except a few items I can't find like burp cloths and sock. I dont know what I did with those. I am feeling well except I am developing slight high blood pressure so I need to take it easy. Apparently, my feet dont swell up my eyes and eye lids do. My face is huge from the swelling and some days one eye is hard to open. Hopefully with some rest I can get this under control. Other than that, the baby is measuring exactly on track. On Tuesday she was just about 4 pounds and and had a fabulous Non Stress Test. So we are happy about that. Her due date is still May 5. Maddyn likes to see the baby by pulling my shirt up and tickling her or givng her kisses. When I tell her that her sister is kicking her, she puts her foot up to my belly like she is threatening her. It is so funny. She will be a great big sister!!! We can't wait to meet this little girl, but are not looking forward to the sleepless nights ahead.

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!

Maddyn had a wonderful 2nd birthday. This is the first time she has understood what presents were and was excited about them. We had a Minnie Mouse themed party because that is her absolute favorite. We had Pizza for dinner because that is her favorite food. She got a piano from Grammy and Papa, a scooter, cute clothes, and money from Grandpa and Grandma, some baby items and a farm from mom and dad, and a very cute dress from Avery and Jessica. She had a blast!

I can not believe that she is already 2 and will have another sister here soon. She is so smart. She will repeat any word you tell her to except the work "grammy". We have no idea why she wont say that. She is always on the go and wants you to "come here" all day long. She still loves her Minne and will not sleep with out it. She is a great help around the house. She loves to be given things to put away and will put them in the right spot. She loves cleaning the lint trap from the dryer. Maddyn is such a joy in our life and makes up laugh everyday.
