65 Days Left!!!

I can't believe that I am 31 weeks...Hooray! I am actually feeling better as well. After 29 weeks of constant nausea/vomiting it has finally let up. I can't believe I made it through it. I will have stories to tell this girl about the trouble she has put me through. I thought for sure it was going to last the entire pregnancy. I had given up on feeling better. But, now I am feeling FABULOUS most days and have tons of energy (my MD found out that I have a very low blood count from some non-pregnancy health/bleeding issues I have been having and has since started me on some supplements/medications which has helped tremendously).

31 Weeks

I have started getting Bella's room ready. It is my favorite way to burn the nesting energy...which has already started. I feel a compulsive need to clean in places that I haven't cared about until now...under the bed, under/in the couches, shutters/blinds and walls. I am yet again having the same crazy compulsion to paint...as I did with Joshua. Our house in TN had only been painted a year before I delivered, but I still felt it absolutely necessary to paint every wall, base board/molding...including the garage. August happily obliged and we laugh at it now...but it is starting again. Our house we are renting is paint HELL! There is sooo much white molding/wainscoting and awful paint jobs that I can hardly stand it. I realize that I am renting, and don't WANT to pain THEIR house, but it is driving me crazy!! So, today I picked up a gallon of white paint...we will see...

The boys have had a big change in their lives. They are now sharing a room. They love it...I can't stand it. They have tons of furniture and other stuff that there is NO room for anything. I feel claustrophobic just going in their room. This has added to my desire to MOVE!! We only have 3 bedrooms upstairs that are tiny, tiny, tiny (4 down, but I am not putting a 4 year old down there). We will see. I will post pics as soon as I take some!

Vacation Fun!!

We just returned from our vacation down to San Diego/Anaheim. We had tons of fun and it was very needed. We had a blast celebrating my birthday and enjoying friends and family! This will be our last vacation before the baby and the last time as a family of 4!! Here are a few...ok, more then a few...highlights!

We made a stop at the St. George Temple to let the boys run around in the warm weather. 55 degrees seemed like heaven after leaving 20 degrees.

Joshua kept trying to knock on the Temple door at the top of the stairs...anyone home???

Mama's boys!

Caleb would NOT take off his sun glasses! We stayed at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, and he wore them at the hotel, well after dark and even at dinner!

We met our friends Cindy, Russ and their kids Jared and Allison in San Diego/Carlsbad. We thoroughly enjoyed the weather and the pool.

Caleb was a fish! He loved the water and wasn't shy of the water one bit.

Joshua quickly caught on that swimming was fun. He was mad at first that I was getting him dressed to go in the water. He thought it was like a bath...and just wanted to be naked! He also was NOT shy of the water. We definitely had to keep an eye on them or they would jump in anytime and at any depth!

We visited Lego Land with Cindy's family and had tons of fun. Caleb loved it. It was an entire park built just for 5 year olds!

Allison and Joshua were very excited that they were tall enough to ride on the Indiana Jones Ride.

I thought that this ride was hilarious...just a horse that moved in a circle...?????

Allison and Joshua loved the fountains. Joshua was hesitant at first and then learned from Allison what it was all about!

We also visited Huntington Beach. It was fabulous! No wind and it wasn't cold at all. We miss the beach most after moving from CA.

The boys made a sand castle.

Caleb LOVED the water. I thought it was cold, but it didn't keep him out.

Fun in the Sand!

Count it....7 months...28 weeks...and only 12 weeks to go...thankfully! I feel like a cow! I must be carrying VERY differently because this belly sticks FAR out. I was rounder with the boys. This is painful. I feel like I did at delivery...baby #3 is going to do me in!

For my Bday we went to Disneyland! What a better place to turn 30 and feel like a kid again. It was the best Bday I can remember.

Joshua wasn't quite tall enough to ride Big Thunder Mtn, but he decided that every time the train would circle he would blast it with his buzz lightyear blaster! Work out that frustration!

Caleb was picked for Jedi training...it was hilarious! He fought Darth Vader and loved every minute of it. I will post a video down at the bottom.

Caleb and his cousin Audry...were inseparable.

We met August's brother Adam and family...Julie, Riley, Audry, Jacob and Isaac for the two days at Disneyland.
