Coincidence?

There have been many experiences lately that many people would call a coincidence. I would have to differ and say that they are tender mercies. Sometimes I don't feel worthy of being chosen to have precious little Hailey, but I must be doing something right because I have definitely been watched over. Well the experience I would like to share happened last Saturday. I was sitting reading the Ensign, and I decided that I really wanted to go to General Conference. Not only do I need the inspiration, but I have always intended on taking all of my children when they get old enough to go, and THIS is the ONLY chance I get with Hailey. Well I got all sorts of depressed, and Brett couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally I told him and since he is my Caring, Wonderful, Handsome Husband he started calling around to find tickets. Our ward only had Priesthood Session tickets and I started to get sad again. He then called the stake and they had TWO tickets left to the Sunday Morning Session. I can't tell you how relieved I was, and how grateful, and excited I was. I'm still ecstatic about going up this weekend! Some may call it a coincidence... but I definitely would not call it that!!

10 Little Fingers and 10 Little Toes

These pictures were taken at 26 weeks, so a couple of days ago. Everything has been going well with the pregnancy still. I have been getting rib pain, and I think it's because I'm still not very big, and the pressure from the uterus growing is on my ribs. I have found some relief when I lay down, and when my arms are raised above my head. It mostly hurts the worst when I've been sitting in the same position for too long.










Hailey is still very active. We have enjoyed feeling her movements, and watching them. She is quite the kicker/puncher. The other day in one of my classes we watched this video about how you can sing books instead of read them to children. When I watched this I loved it because it explains kind of how I feel, and I now am going to get this book. If you don't want to watch the whole thing the song starts about 1 minute and 50 seconds into the clip.





My little girl may not have everything that every little baby does, but she is just as normal to me as any other baby. She has 10 Little Fingers and 10 Little Toes. She kicks/punches, hiccups, and is growing just like any other little baby would be. Even if she didn't she is still my little girl, and I would love her the same! Tummy time has been so fun with her and is going way too fast!! I know that if I don't get to meet her here I still at least get to see her, hold her, and love her! I am looking forward to the day when she will come, but also very nervous. I know what will happen is what the plan is, but it's hard not to think what is going to happen. I have learned so much from my little girl, and I definitely would not take her back!!

Date Night with Hailey!

To start of Spring Break, we took Brett on a date! We went to Roger's where I had my favorite Grilled chicken sandwhich, and Brett had a yummy looking burger. When we got home, we played the Wii for a little while (which of course Hailey and Mommy beat daddy). And then I decided to do something exciting!

We made dough...

We were being silly and kneaded the dough...

We twisted the dough...

And shaped it into Pretzels!!!

Yum!!

We had a fun night, and it was the perfect way to start off the Break that I have needed for a while!!

Hailey at 24 1/2 weeks!!

I can honestly say that I now have a pooch!! Last night we pulled out the camera for the first time in a long time.... and I Finally look like I'm kinda showing!! :) I have noticed little Hailey sticking out a little bit more lately so I'm glad it finally showed up in the pictures!!

There were a lot of goofy pictures, but I tried picking out the best ones! This was silly, but I was trying to poke her out more!!

It was pretty neat and special because last night was the first time daddy got to feel Hailey move!!

We also had a Doctors appointment on Monday. He said that I'm measuring a little small, but everything else looks good!!

Catching up!

There have been a couple posts that I have been meaning to get up the last 2 months or so. The first was the BYU game. Brett and I wanted to go to a Jazz game, but then we decided a BYU game would probably be just as fun. We went to the January 8 game against Air Force and it was a good game!



If I remember correctly, this was the first time I can distinctly remember feeling Hailey move. Because ball games are really loud, when the teams were being announced it was really loud and it vibrated all through me. I think it scared Hailey because I just remember her jumping or something of that sort.

When I started school, the weather in Sanpete was very cold like it always is in January. Every day I would go to school, and I would see Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles. Every time I saw them, I was either in a rush to get to school, or didn't have my camera. One day Brett was with me and we were coming home when I saw them. We hurried home and got our camera so we could take pictures. Ever since I have been pregnant, I have had a fascination with Nature and Beauty all around.

I have always loved seeing animals, but I thought it was so cool that I got to see these beautiful birds just right outside of town! I guess that's one reason I love living in a small town!!
