Update

I am now 32 weeks! The picture below was taken at 30 weeks.  I have been doing pretty well with everything.  Sleep is a little more difficult to get just because I wake up earl and can't get back to sleep the take naps during the day.  Thankfully I have time for those!!  I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable and some things are just a lot harder for me to do... like get up off the bed or floor.  


We had an ultrasound yesterday!! It is always fun to see her! We got to check the placenta, which was low in the last ultrasound.  It has since moved away from the cervix so it was good news!! We also got to check to make sure she was still a girl and don't have to try to change everything for a boy! She is adorable with her cute little lips and chubby cheeks.  Can't wit to see her in real life in just a couple of months! She was measuring about five days ahead-pretty consistent with the last ultrasound.  Well, measuring ahead everywhere but her legs- so we might have a short one :) It was fun to feel her kicking and moving from the inside and seeing it on the screen.  Definitely made it even more real.

Harvest Time!

For my graduation gift, my parents bought me a ticket to Washington.  I am not working right now and since I graduated, I have nothing going on! Ste is in school full time and working so he has a pretty packed schedule. I figured I would go and enjoy some time before the baby comes to see family and enjoy Manson and the harvest.  Dad and Nick picked me up at the airport and flew me back home in the helicopter.  Such a pretty flight!!


I haven't really been able to spend a lot of time with the cute little guys for a while so it was fun to get a few days to play around.  They are adorable and hilarious. 










I had forgotten how much I love harvest time in Manson with the smell of the apples, the tractors going everywhere, crisp mornings, fruit on the trees... I love it! I was able to pick some peaches and pears while I was up and got to have some delicious apples.





Everything Jensley saw swimming that day, she "needed" to have.  She was definitely prepared for anything.  


Thank you Mom and Dad for such a fun trip!!! And thank you DeA for dragging your kids everywhere and letting me play with them!!


I got back Thursday and pretty right away went to the BYU football game with Ste.  Larry had extra tickets so we decided we should go! I am glad we did! It was a lot of fun.  I have definitely missed everything about fall.  It's definitely my favorite time of year.

California

After we spent a couple days in Park City we left for California! We flew into Oakland and Ste's parents picked us up.  We spent the day around San Francisco and places around that area.  We stopped at a little town named Pescadero (I think) that had some cute little shops.  One was a place with woodworking that was pretty darn cool to see.  When we went to San Francisco, his family wanted me to drive down Lombard street.  I refused because I had heard it was like super steep, I had never driven their van before, and I hadn't really seen the street-just other streets there that freaked me out.  I think I could have gone down just fine, it was the going up part that freaked me out. Completely straight up, a bunch of cars trying to get up, a Mustang that was stuck in the middle of the road and had a leak that cars' tires were spinning on... so much that I just hated and would have been a wreck if I drove on it haha  Anyway, it was a lot of fun.  We stopped and got some sourdough bread and sourdough bread croutons.  Yum! I love croutons.  


On our way back to their house in Sacramento, we stopped at a hamburger place that his dad saw and heard that it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.  So we stopped to see what the hype was about.  It was definitely delicious!



Stewart and I played parents for Monica's kids one day and had a blast.  We got some cuddle time with Jackson, took kids to school, got lunches ready.. It was a lot of fun.  Her kids are super easy to take of.  They all got ready on their own in the morning and wanted fruit for breakfast.  I definitely hope my kids are as easy as her kids were that day...










Throughout the week we got to spend more time with Monica's family, paint part of his parent's house, and eat at his favorite restaurant- Dos Coyotes.  So good!

Later in the week we made our way down to Los Angeles and San Diego.  Our pictures with the temple didn't quite work out, but the most important and beautiful part is the temple so that's more than okay.




We spent a day at Disneyland! Ste got to go on some fun rides with his dad, we checked out the kid and sissy rides for me, had some Dole Whip, and paddled a canoe around an island.  It was a lot of fun!


We also spent a day at the beach where Ste and I got completely burned.  He is still peeling and I kinda have a scar from where I was burned.  I am just happy that my face evened out and I didn't have a bright red forehead forever! It was definitely nice to be at the beach, even though I was too scared to go too deep.  Ste and his dad worn themselves out on boogie boards and we got to see some surfers do some cool things.

It was a nice and fun trip for sure!
