Baby Brother?

Oh boy do we love Molly. She is so funny. This is her answer EVERY time we ask her or she flat out says no. We know she has no idea what we are talking about, and that is her answer to any question but we think it is pretty funny. It will definitely be an adjustment for all of us but we are excited. 10 weeks!!!!!

Warm weekend, FINALLY!!

We have been longing for this Spring weather. We had Spring Break last week so I was off work and it was the longest week ever. Due to the freezing cold and snow we were cooped up in the house all week. Molly stands at the door and whines at me saying side, side, side. We were so happy for the warm weekend to play outside. On Sunday my sister and her family came down and we decided to take advantage of the warmth.

Aaron decided to turn the bike trailer into a stroller and Molly was not a fan. I don't know if it because she just hated it, or if it was because Konner was laying on her, but either way she was not happy. Oh and if you couldn't tell by that lovely picture, I am HUGE. It kind of happened over night.

Grandma Connie broke out the giant tether ball and it was hilarious. The pole was flimsy so Aaron was holding it. From the picture you can see my mom trying to purposely hit him.

Then it was war, the game between these two lasted a while, and I don't remember who won, but the whole thing made for a great laugh on the side line.

And of coarse anything daddy does Molly has to do too.

Molly loved playing with all the outdoor toys and just running all over. I was grateful Aaron was home because I don't have the energy to chase her for a long time.
Her favorite things BUBBLES!
and the slide.
All worn out.

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend. On Saturday morning we went to the city egg hunt. They scatter hundreds of eggs on all the baseball fields and when the horn blows the kids go. It was freezing cold but Molly didn't seem to care. She had fun gathering eggs, but I thought it was lame that the 0-2 year old eggs were filled with jaw breakers and bubble gum. After that we hit up the grocery stores egg hunt. They covered the isles floors with candy. Mostly smarties and dumb dumbs. All Molly went for were the suckers it was pretty funny. After that we headed to Aaron's parents for the rest of the weekend. We had a BBQ, played games, and visited. Molly had a rough night. Her molars have been coming in and she has an ear infection again so she screamed ALL night long and kept everyone in the house awake. It made for a long day on Sunday. After church the Easter Bunny came. Molly got a little vacuum, books, bubbles, a chocolate duck, and candy. I found my basket in a storage closet, it was filled with lots of candy and a Subway giftcard (my only craving). Aaron also got me a new pillow, he finally got sick of me complaining about how much I hate my memory foam one. Aaron got shorts and a shirt and candy. Before church Molly got her new Easter dress and sandals. We were hoping to get some family pictures in our matching church clothes but Molly was too grumpy, I did take her last week to get her pictures done in her dress so hopefully they turn out cute. It was a fun weekend with family!

Wow, I have been so bad at blogging but it has been low on my list lately. Molly and I are home from our trip to Oregon. We had a fun time visiting family. Molly was a trooper on the 8 hour drive she only slept for about 45 minutes both ways so I was exhausted trying to entertain her but she was good. We won't be going anywhere far for a long time. While visiting we went to the Oregon Trail Museum. They live in the middle of nowhere so we mostly hung out at the house and played lots of games. We stayed in Boise and did a lot of shopping, and went swimming. I forgot my camera and I am still waiting for the pictures to be sent to me so I can post them. It is good to be home and with Aaron again (I think he missed his girls.)

Molly has changed so much in the last few weeks. She is talking up a storm and running me ragged. It is crazy to me at how smart she is at such a young age. She can tell you just about any animal sound, she does a lot of signing, she sings her favorite song about bubbles all the time, and imitates anything she here's. Yesterday I was talking to Aaron and I said shoot so for the next five minutes that is all Molly said. Yes it is time ti be very careful. She is also obsessed with Finding Nemo. She walks around all day signing fish and saying nemo nemo until I give in and let her watch it. That is when I get a lot of stuff done. We love to sit around the living room and just let her do her thing. She loves to be the center of attention and entertain. She is so much fun.

This weekend we enjoyed listening to conference. We got a lot out of it and decided we need to set some goals for our family. I know that if we do as we are told we will be happy and very blessed. We are looking forward to Easter and spending time with family.

Road Trip

Well we are still alive. A few weeks ago Aaron went to plug the laptop in and he picked up the charger and it shocked him. Needless to say we had to get a new adapter, but it made for a really good laugh. I should not have laughed so hard but I couldn't help it. We finally got the new part so we are back in commission. I had another ultrasound yesterday and things seam to be ok. The placenta is still pretty low but it had moved slightly. They are still going to keep a close eye on it but the baby is doing well, measuring small but he is healthy. I was given the go ahead to go on vacation tomorrow morning. That's right a road trip to Oregon to see my aunt and her family. I am going with my mom, Molly, and my aunt Marianne. Poor Aaron will be so lonely but hopefully gets lots of homework done. I am not looking forward to the 8 hour drive with Molly, but it will be fun to see the family.

So last week we got a message on Aaron's cell phone from the doctor. He said he was concerned about the ultrasound. He said the placenta is too low into the birth canal and that he was going to keep a close eye on things and have another ultrasound in a few weeks. So maybe I am a little paranoid but I thought that was crazy to leave a message like that. I instantly called a friend of mine (thanks Amelia) to ask her what exactly this meant. She told me sometimes as the baby grows it will push the placenta over and things are just fine. She also said in some cases they put you on bed rest to keep the pressure of the baby off the placenta. People have been telling us many different stories, some good some bad. Somebody said that because the birth of Molly was so terrible and everything ripped, stretched, and tore, and never really healed properly that the chances of the placenta moving are slim to none. I can't help but to think the worst. My appointment with my doctor was scheduled for Thursday afternoon, but I was called today and told he wanted to see me first thing tomorrow morning, as if I wasn't scared enough. I know there have been a lot of prayers in our behalf, but when my mother in law called yesterday to tell us they all fasted for us I felt so much peace. It means so much to Aaron and I that we have so much love and support from family and friends. We hope we are worrying over nothing but I am going with a list of questions and we will let you all know the news.

OUCH!

Molly is into running and walking silly lately. She walks sideways, backwards, marches, walks while shaking her bum, they are all adorable but she falls a lot while doing this. On Saturday she was running down the hallway, and when she rounded the corner she fell and smacked her head right into the corner of the entertainment center. Her for head swelled and bruised immediately. However, it didn't last long before she was up running again.
