We're totes preggo!

...And we couldn't be happier.  I could hardly believe it when the test came in positive and yet at the same time I totally believed it.  The nice part was I wasn't stressed over it this month at all.  Earlier that day at the grocery store I had kind of just picked up a preggo test on my way out, ho-hum style.  Then I took the test and within 30 second it showed.  Crazy huh!  Just goes to show you that it's best not to focus on it too much.  Paul and I said a prayer of Thanksgiving right away and are still smiling from it.  I told my parents and Paul told his mom and all are happy.  I think baby #2 will be coming April 11 but I'll know more at my first doctor's appointment in September.  Anyhoo, there's the big news.  It's so fun to have and help create a family!!

Spiritual Sunday - The Merciful Obtain Mercy

This is just a quick one.  Relief Society was great!  We went over the President Uchtdorf talk The Merciful Obtain Mercy.  Beautiful!  It has humbled me.

Lizzie is 16 months old!


Have you ever seen a cuter lil girl?  She loves socks and shoes and is trying mine on here.  Cute little impish grin huh?  So yes, baby girl is 16 months!  She weighs about 25 pounds and is trying so hard to talk.  Let's see what else is new with her:

  • She says Mama to me sometimes and also Agua for water and Boo!  when she wants to scare me.  Soo cute.
  • She's a shrieker, especially at church on the library.
  • She actually gave me a hug the other day.  I was so touched.  She just leaned in for a quick snuggle.  I'm so used to her being on the move and being wiggly that I couldn't believe it.  Made my day!
  • She loves pool time and we spend a lot of time at our baby pool.
  • Her eyes are hazely-green and her hair turns lighter in the sun.  So different from mine.
  • She loves happy time with me and her daddy when we're all just hanging out or going bike riding together.
  • She doesn't cry anymore when we leave for nursery at church. 
  • She loves to hold baby dolls.  
That's about it, I think.  Here are some pictures of her at Heber Fair Days, which included a carnival and parade.  I think she quite enjoyed it.  Our friends Arianna and Kendrick came to visit for a day too.
