Aili Olivia Mitton
My new baby niece, Aili {eye-lee}, was born a few days ago! She was diagnosed with a very rare heart defect called tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary artesia. She is going to need several surgeries to try to fix her little heart. I haven't met her yet, as she is in Utah, but I hear she is the sweetest little baby. Please pray for her and her parents as they go through this very hard time. It is going to be a long journey for them and I know with all your prayers they will be able to get through it easier.

27 weeks
Wow! I can't believe how fast time is flying...it is already the middle of February and my third trimester is just around the corner. Overall, I am still feeling pretty good! Yay! Except after I cook and clean and chase a toddler all day...okay, so I guess I am feeling not so good after all. But, nothing compared to last pregnancy so I am just fine with my minor backaches, sciatic nerve pains that come and go, and tons of braxton hicks contractions. Last pregnancy I had major back pain and was swollen everywhere by now so I can't complain.
I did my glucose tolerance test this week. I don't know why so many think it is the worst thing ever because I rather enjoy it. I hoped for the orange flavor (because that's what I had last time and I liked it), but I was given the fruit punch flavor. And let me tell you what...SOO much better! I have my regular OB appointment on Monday so hopefully she'll have the results and hopefully everything is looking good.
We had another ultrasound a couple days ago. I love ultrasounds! I wish I could have one once a week to catch a glimpse of my handsome little man. This time he was head down and faced towards my back so we didn't get to see his cute face very well. We did all his measurements and I turned from side and side trying to get him to move but he wouldn't budge. He is measuring in the 75th percentile at 2 lbs. 8 oz. Hopefully, we'll get to have another ultrasound before he makes his debut!
Avery is getting smarter and smarter everyday. She has definitely mastered the art of trying to get what she wants. Here are her four tactics: 1. "But, mommy, you're my friend." This is the newest addition to her persuasive tactics. If I say I don't want to do something or tell her not to do something she'll pull this one out. And her facial expression with it...how could anyone say no?! 2. "But it's gonna be fun!" This is her go to phrase when I tell her I don't want to do something. 3. "No, you're not ______ (fill in the blank)." As an example, if I tell her I am tired so we have to go to bed she tells me I am not tired. Or if I tell her it is time to eat lunch because I am hungry, she will tell me I am not hungry. The list goes on. 4. "I will not run, I will hold hands." LIES! She tells me what I want to hear. This generally happens when we are out shopping and she wants to get out of the cart or her stroller. I refuse to take her shopping by myself.
Josh is just working away. He went to the Phoenix Open last week and followed two of his favorite golfers...they happen to be golfing in the same group so it worked out well. I am not a HUGE golf fan but I do enjoy watching golf (only in person) with Josh. But, Avery is not quite trained in golf etiquette so we let him go without us. He had a blast so I am glad he got to go.
And for my most recent fun/random news...I bought a groupon for laser hair removal! I am going to try it out on my armpits. I don't have abnormally hairy pits, but shaving them is just such a hassle and at 27 I am already tired of it. I have to wait till after I give birth so I will let you know in May/June when the process is going to start. Anyone have any experiences with laser hair removal?

Friends
Avery told me today that I was her friend! I hope it stays that way forever!
So I haven't taken any baby belly pictures since the last one. I keep telling myself I am going to but then I forget. Maybe this week. I have gotten a lot bigger in the last couple weeks so now I am noticeably pregnant. I have also started having some aches and pains. Boo! The back pain started a lot sooner last pregnancy so I was kinda hopeful when it hadn't started yet. This time last pregnancy I was already swollen quite a bit and so far I haven't had an swelling issues. Let's hope it stays that way...and more importantly that it means I wont have pre-eclampsia this time. I am having trouble getting comfortable at night already. Baby boy doesn't make it any easier either because he moves and kicks non stop when I am laying down. I don't remember Avery moving this much. Its nice to know he is okay in there, but its really not that pleasant to be kicked and jabbed on the inside all day and night! He is super strong already--I don't look forward to when he gets bigger. We still haven't picked a name. It is so hard! With Avery we saw it and instantly knew that was it...not this time. I think I have read every name ever used in the history of mankind and nothing really speaks to me like "avery" did. We have a couple on our list that we like so maybe one of those is just gonna have to work...its only a name, right? Ha ha.
This week we have another ultrasound and I am going to do my glucose tolerance test and get some other blood tests done. I have a new book to take along with me so I am actually kinda excited. And I get an hour to myself without Avery climbing on me or yelling my name or asking for something. I get to just sit and read (and drink straight sugar)...what else could be better? Okay, maybe going to the spa or something but I will take what I can get!
Hopefully, we will get some good pictures at the ultrasound for me to post. Otherwise, I will try to get a new belly shot posted...
Oh, and I am going to have a new niece soon! Josh's brother (Chris) and his wife (Jessica) are scheduled to be induced tomorrow morning. She is days past her due date so I hope it all goes well. I can't imagine being pregnant longer than needful...I actually can't imagine even getting close to 40 weeks since Avery was born at 36 weeks. Despite all the problems I had with her and being super overwhelmed with having a baby that early, it was kinda nice to have a whole month shaved off of pregnancy. Anyways, I am super excited for them and I can't wait to see her the next time I make it up to Provo/Salt Lake.
