"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Half way!


I am officially half-way through this pregnancy. In a way it feels like it's taken forever to get to this point but then I think the next half will probably (hopefully) fly by!
*I haven't been to great at taking belly pictures but I guess that 's what happens with a 4th child. Plus, I feel like I was just at this stage (oh wait, I was with Annie!)
* I am feeling pretty great these days! The sickness and yuckiness it officially behind me. It feels so nice to get up in the morning and have an appetite or the desire to actually do something with my day!
*We just got back from our trip to Florida. 3 days in Disney World almost did me in!
*I have been feeling baby move for a couple weeks now but it is definitely getting stronger every day.
*We'll find out the gender this coming Monday (the 8th) 
* Haven't had any food craving lately other than the fact that I can eat most food and not feel sick about it! Hooray!
*The nights are starting to get restless. I'm not sleeping very well but that is just the name of the game.
*I have no clue what we'll name this baby whether it's a boy or a girl. I'm out of ideas.
*Not feeling huge yet but bending over is getting a little difficult.
*I think Carly and Sam forget that I'm even pregnant sometimes.
*I'm not looking forward to the heat of the summer (who does really) I've never been pregnant in August, we'll see how it turns out :)

That is such a great picture! Did you make the girls skirts?

And I forget that you are pregnant at times, too. This picture will help me remember how cute & pregnant you really are, thanks!
