This is some of the highlights( or activities I had my camera around for) of what we have been up to. Besides laying around and being lazy in bed of course...
February 5th: Rob entered the tennis tournament at our clubhouse. He played some really good guys and was able to hold his own. He did not win though. Taylor and I had a good time watching and cheering him on none the less.
I love her goofy faces.
Beginning of March: It started to get really nice outside. So we had more and more days playing at the park. This was just one day we went to have a picnic lunch and play with my sister Chrystal and her kids.
March 17-19: Rob and I decided to get away for a weekend. We went to Palm Springs, Ca. where the Indian Wells Tennis tournament was being held. It was something Rob has been dying to go and watch. I have to admit that I had more fun than I thought I would. It was great to see these major player like Federer and Nadal up close and how amazing they really are. We also got to lay by the pool, read books and really just relax. We are thinking of making it a yearly tradition.
26 Weeks: This is on the trip. It really makes me laugh out loud looking at it now because I remember feeling big at the time! Nothing compared to the present belly situation.
April 12th: Took Taylor to the zoo w/ my friend Krissy and her little boy Brody. It was our first zoo trip. Taylor seemed to enjoy the animals. I am sure we will be back.
The highlight was feeding the giraffes. She was a little timid, understandably. Especially since the zoo lady was pushing her into the giraffe by her shirt collar. You can see her hand on Taylor back! Ha! It is the one thing she kept talking about after we left.
This is just an example of how silly Taylor can be. This is total ragamuffin, (that is really a weird word who knows if I spelled it right) nothing on but a diaper and stringy hair in full force. That is just how it is by the afternoon sometimes and we are ok with that :) Anyways she found some free stickers we got in the mail and decided to put them all over her body. Rob and I just laugh. We really enjoy seeing more and more of her personality coming out.
April 22nd: Ward Easter Egg hunt. It was a lot of fun. I didn't know if Taylor would actually participate or cling to me, but when she realized what to do she was all over it!
Spotting more eggs- no time for a picture!
April 26th-28th: Women's Conference. I was able to fly to Utah with my sister Chrystal and Stay with my other sister Amber who just moved up there. We were able to attend Women's Conference at BYU. As hard as it can be to leave our hubbies and kids, it was so fun. The talks were very motivating and inspiring. I do wish we had more time just to play though. We were so tired from getting up early and running around the campus all day we were exhausted by time we got back to Amber's. At least I was, maybe I was the party pooper.
I'm telling you though, hiking up the Smith feild house stairs, if you know them, at 32 weeks pregnant I thought I was going to go into labor! Ok, not really I am just out of shape too and I know I probably would have felt the same even if I wasn't pregnant!! And it was snowing while we were there which was pretty crazy, for us anyway. It was so much fun just to be with my sisters though. Something else I need to make a yearly ritual!
36 Weeks: This was just last week. Feeling big. I am already 3 cm. dilated. We will see if I go into labor early or just walk around this way for 3 more weeks. Probably the latter.
Memorial day weekend: We had a nice long weekend together. Had the family over for a BBQ and did lots of swimming.
This is what happens when dad gives you a bath. It is way more fun with tons of water and bubble and jets on in the tub. She thought it was the greatest, just like almost everything else Rob does with her.
Maybe the next post will be of our new little one! I am so excited and my thoughts are consumed with this baby and all that is involved. I keep telling myself to enjoy these last few weeks. I want to spend time playing with Taylor just one on one because I am feeling bad for her already and the probably lack of attention she will get, compared to what she is used to at least. I am also telling myself to enjoy actually sleeping. These things are hard though when I am not sleeping well and feel too BIG to really play around with Taylor. That is just how it is and I am not wanting to complain because all in all I feel good!
