27 Weeks!!!!!

We are 27 Weeks into this pregnancy and are getting so excited to have this little boy. Time is flying by and i'm sure the next few months will as well. I feel like i'm already so big, and can't imagine getting much bigger but i'm sure there are still quite a few pounds to be added.

Essure!!!

Okay so Presleigh is obsessed with the Essure commercial. It's the strangest thing the way Presleigh runs to the TV every time this commercial comes on. I'm not sure if it's because there are little boys in it or because they are playing soccer or why she likes it so much but we will be in the other room and she'll hear the commercial and then stand right in front of the TV until it's over. At first I thought it was cute but now i'm starting to get a little freaked out, it's a birth control commercial!! I mean seriously, I just wish it was a fisher price commercial or something.

Digital Scrapbooking!!!!

Here are some of the scrapbook pages that i've done. I'm trying to get Presleigh's first year done so that i can get them printed in a book.

A couple weekends ago I made a day trip to SLC and took my lil sister's engagement pictures. I've never taken pictures for someone else and it was sort of stressful. These are a couple of the ones I liked.

Here is the Amy Butler bag that my mom and I made. I absolutely love it, and I get so many compliments when I go out. I think my mom is starting to sell them on etsy so I will let you know when that's up and going if anyone is interested.

It was super nice out the other day, so we went for a little walk and I snapped a few pics!!

I'm not a big fan of dressing presleigh when we're around the house so a lot of times i just let her roam around in her diaper. Well now she likes to take her diaper off so I've been putting just tights on her so she can't get to her diaper. (I guess i could probably just put clothes on her, but this is so much cuter!!)

It's Official...

Well at least I hope it is. Presleigh has successfully gone to bed by 8:30 for the past 3 nights, and I think she is finally on an early schedule. I was stressing so much about trying to get her on an earlier schedule so that Wayne and I would have some time at night to ourselves, and also because I want her all adjusted before the new baby gets here. It's amazing how well she goes to bed now that she is going so much earlier. I think she was probably overly tired. Poor little thing!! So now the next big thing is getting her off the bottle. I have started by not giving her a bottle for her nap, which has been a struggle. The big step is going to be her night time bottle. It's crazy how attached she is to that thing. If any of you have any ideas on how to get her off the bottle please let me know.

Baby Boy!!!

We've know since the beginning of the month but i thought that we should let everyone know that we will be having a baby boy join our little fam in July. I don't know why but having a boy makes me so nervous. I guess I feel like it's my first child again just because of the gender. It's crazy. So now we just need to agree on a name. It's funny cuz with Presleigh it was so easy, i had her name picked out since 6th grade and wayne loved it. She was Presleigh even before we knew she was a girl (well i pretty much always knew she was a girl). With this little guy it's been a little more difficult because Wayne just happens to be a 2nd. So we're trying to decide if we should carry on the family name. Anyway... We are 23 weeks along now and it's going so fast.

We really haven't been up to very much lately. Wayne is still in the middle of tax season so we don't get to see much of him these days. We did enjoy a weekend visit to Wayne's sister's house in St. George a couple weeks ago. Our nephew just got home from a mission, and we were lucky to be able to attend his homecoming. I love being able to get together with Wayne's family. We always feel so strengthened by their great example. I love it, I married into a great family!!

Presleigh has been really into her stuffed animals lately. She can't go into her crib or out of it without her teddy. She only says a few words but teddy is definitely one of them and it is so stinkin cute! She also loves to give high fives and we just started doing "down low, you're to slow" it's so funny how excited she gets when she actually hits one of our hands. I'll try and post a video one of these days. She could play that game for hours. She also loves to twirl. She doesn't really do it on her own though, she likes to hold on to my finger and spin. She's turning into quite the jabber-mouth. She's always talking, and i wish i could understand what she's saying. If she's anything like I was, I won't be able to understand her until she's like 5. We are having so much fun with her though, she's so adorable.

Montana

Well we just got back this last weekend from a two week stay in Montana. Wayne is in the middle of tax season so he is always at the office late, so I decided that I needed a little vacation. It was perfect timing because Pres and I caught a ride there with my mother who was in Provo working on wedding plans for my sis. Then we caught a ride back to Provo with my Aunt. I don't think that I could make the drive alone with Presleigh because i'm constantly having to give her toys and treats on the way.

It was so nice to be there for two whole weeks because i didn't feel rushed to see everyone or rushed to get all the things done I wanted. We spent a few days over at my sister Kim's house. She was super Preggers while we were there so i wanted to help her get some things done. Although I have to admit I didn't help her much. But our little one's did get to play together. I also got to be there when she had her little baby Aubrey. What a sweet little baby girl she is.

My mother and I spent a lot of time sewing while I was there. I finally got to make this super cute Amy Butler bag i've been wanting. I'll post a pic sometime soon. My mother did most of the hard work on it but it turned out very cute! I also worked on a couple recieving blankets for the new baby. They are adorable. I'm so excited to find out what we're having so we can start working on the nursery.

I was also able to get a little bit of geneology done with my father. I always promise him we'll work on stuff and then i flake, so i was happy that we were able to spend some time putting names into his PAF.

Presleigh learned some new tricks while we were there. Her uncle Devin taught her to give a high five. Papa taught her to wink. Little Preston taught her how to go down the stairs backwards. Grandma taught her how to cover her mouth when she coughs. And unfortunately my uncle taught her how to pick her nose. She also picked up on patty cake, and she shows us how old she is too.

We had such a good time visiting family, but we were definitely ready to be back home with Wayne. Presleigh was very excited to see her daddy and now runs to him every day when he gets home. She use to run to me when she heard him at the door.
