Our Family Reunion!

So update since my last post........ I am now in Utah crazily anticipating patiently waiting for the arrival of this sweet baby of ours. My last doctors appointment was last Friday and the doctor checked me and said I was 60% effaced (thinned) no dialation yet. So still a ways to go but good to know my body is doing a little to prepare. My next doctor's appointment is this Friday and I am excited to see what has happened in a week. Since I had a c-section with baby Kaizen and I am trying for a vaginal birth this time there are some risks of uterine rupture but it's pretty low. She told me they cannot start me with like pitocin or any of that stuff because the risk of rupture is higher when they do so it's basically if I don't go on my own by 40 weeks, it's pretty much lookin like a c-section. I so badly want to have this baby naturally but my most important goal is for the baby to be healthy and okay and I will do whatever is best for the baby. It's in God's hands. He knows the right thing to do.

Last Sunday was me and Josh's 6 year anniversary. I had to say goodbye to him that morning because he had to get back to Montana to take care of some work. I was dreading him having to leave pretty much when we got to Utah. I hate being apart from him! Good news is he should be back sometime next week and we can be together again. We started dating 9 and 1/2 years ago. Boy its sure been an adventure. I am so happy of where we are in our lives now. That first year of marriage was rough but I am so glad we got through it and are able to see the happiness that we share now. Our lives have come so far. I have lived in places I've never dreamed I would. I've unfortunately had to live far from my family but I have been able to explore parts of the world I never knew existed. I've experienced life outside of a little town because of Josh and I mean that in a good way. One day we will make it back closer here to our hometown but for now there are adventures to be adventured, exploring to be explored. I am so very lucky to have Josh as my eternal companion. I couldn't have found a better match for me if I had a million years to try. He is my best friend. I am so thankful for the two children he has given me. Although one of them is resting with Heavenly Father, I am happy that I get to keep him for eternity! What a wonderful life I have been blessed with. I will continue to thank my dear Heavenly Father for it everyday.

If you remember, in one of my latest posts I was so excited for our family reunion in Downey, Idaho..... Ya in my post I said Downata, Idaho......wrong....my bad. But we did stay at a place called Downata Hot Springs. We have been going there for the past few years and I love it. There was swimming, volleyball, games inside, and we played an awesome game of minute to win it! So fun. We arrived there on the 16th which was my birthday and stayed until the 18th. My mom and sisters surprised me with the cutest cake EVER! Made by my awesome aunt Tammy.

Seriously look how cute....

If you don't know me that well.....know this. I love Giraffes!! They are my favorite!!

Enjoy some random pictures. These are taken by my mom or dad on their camera, disregard the date......clearly it's wrong. I got some pictures on my camera.....but.....I left the cord to put them on the computer in Montana......I'm awesome!

Those minute to win it games were so fun! We will plan on doing it again next year!!



Intense game of volleyball......

I am already excited for next year!!

I also wanted to show you guys a couple more maternity pictures......

I miss my baby Kaizen so much!! Although we are apart for now..... There will forever be a big place for him in my heart! I am so excited for the beautiful day I can hold him again!

I will let you know how the next doctor appointment goes! I hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week!!

Baby #2 maternity pictures

So this is pretty much going to be my first blog post that is just mainly pictures......

Josh took my maternity pictures again. He did so good with the ones when I was pregnant with Kaizen that I made another appointment lol!

I love when he takes my pictures....and it's a plus that I am really comfortable taking pictures when it's my husband on the other end of the camera!

I hope you enjoy.....

Now remember.....a professional did not take these pictures but I love them so much and think Josh did an awesome job.....plus they were free :)

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
