Our Little Family Fall 2007

Love finding old pictures!!! I am 30 weeks pregnant now and super sentimental! I have dedicated the next couple months to embrace memories! Not something I usually do!!! Pregnancy does things to you....

Our Elka!

I found some old pictures of Elka and it made me realize how time flies!!! She is our baby forever and it is odd to think of her being a big sister. We still see her as our "baby." I know that she will love helping me and her new role as big sister. i am cherishing the last couple of months I have with just her and realizing our little family is going to get a little bigger!

10 weeks left!

Pregnancy has not been a breeze let me tell you. I was sick everyday with Elka throwing up until I delivered. This one is totally different in a more miserable way! I had all the morning sickness I could take up into my 2ND trimester then it stopped. Now I am dealing with being so tired! I have always been the type who just keeps moving and just keeps moving and believes there are no excuses to just stop moving. Well this pregnancy has literally taken my breath away! I had the H1N1 in the beginning, which took me out of work for a month. I am just going to say it and not be embarrassed at all, I have had the horrible and dreadful hemorrhoids! Never have had them and made fun of those who have had them! Well because I am picking up heavy children and my own daughter, I was struck with them!!! I was unable to walk for 2 weeks. I am still trying to get over them. I have a pretty high tolerance with pain, this I could not tolerate. I thought I was going to cry myself to death. So much pain and I could not move! Not to make matters worse my back has been so sore and my legs have been cramping and aching non stop! What a pregnancy! This baby girl is really trying to take me out! Despite my misery, I am waddling my pregnant self to the gym. I work out to keep my sanity. I believe it has helped me regain my strength and start preparing my body to get ready for this baby. I am so excited to be done and enjoy our little girl. Andrew wants four kids! I told him that it may take me another 3 years to try for our 3rd! I love babies and I love being a mom more than anything in the world, but my pregnancies are brutal! I will be praising God when she arrives!

Valentine!

Had the best Valentine's Day in Downtown and Old Town Sac. Beautiful weather and too much walking! We finished up the evening with Disney On Ice. Elka could not wait to see Tinker Bell! She is our favorite!
