33 Weeks

I had my 33 week appointment yesterday and the babies are huge! Well not huge but pretty darn big! The boy is 4 pounds 10 ounces (11 ounce increase in 2 weeks) and the girl is 4 pounds 8 ounces (9 ounce increase in 2 weeks)! Amazing!! I had my stress test done again and even though I am contracting still everything seems to be great!! We are still on schedule! Only 27 more days to go! Yes, I am counting down! Don't know how much more my belly can stretch and I am so darn excited to meet these two sweeties!

Edible Finger Paints!

Who doesn't love edible finger paints?! I watched my friend Michelle's little girl Tabitha today so she could get some sleep and we had a great time! Sawyer and her played for a while with toys but then I put out some paper on my table so they could color. They got sick of that pretty quick so I busted out the pudding

Sawyer had flung the pudding that was on his fingers so I had pudding all over my floor, chair, and wall!! What do you expect when you give a 2 year old chocolate pudding to play in though right?! They had fun and it was so fun to watch them!

After I got the mess of pudding cleaned up, I let them play with play dough! Can't go wrong with play dough!!

We had a fun afternoon!

#3

Last week was yet another difficult week for my family. We lost our beloved grandpa Keith Passey. He had had a heart attack back in January but seemed to recover pretty well. Last Sunday we was in the middle of Gospel Doctrine class, in the middle of a sentence and went into cardiac arrest. Thankfully he was around so many people because they were able to give him chest compressions and mouth to mouth and saved his life. Even one of my friends husbands did chest compressions to help. They took him to the hospital and he was doing ok. They wanted to do an angioplasty on Monday but his blood was too thin so they scheduled it for Tuesday at 8am.

When Tuesday rolled around his nurse came in and he acted like his usual self. Talking, laughing, making jokes. Everything seemed normal. The nurse walked out of the room and as soon as she did his monitors started blaring. They tried to resuscitate him but it didn't work. This time it was his time to return home. My mom called me around 8:30am and told me the news. I told her I would meet her at the hospital. I had to prepare myself mentally for going over there. This is 3 deaths for my family in 15 months. 2 in less than 2 months. The last 2 have been my mom's parents (her mom and her father-in-law). I knew she was going to need me. When we arrived at the hospital I hugged her and we walked back to his room. His wife Elizabeth, sons Steven (my step- father) and Darelle were already there. I had a very difficult time looking at Keith. He didn't look like himself laying on that hospital bed. I wanted so badly for him to sit up and start joking or tell me its been ages since he's seen me and hug me like he always did. He would always tell me how beautiful I looked even though I would really look horrible. Even after all the deaths I have been through lately.... it doesn't get any easier. I almost feel numb. I don't know how to react anymore. The loss of even my dad still seems so fresh and now I have had to deal with 2 other loved ones. I really pray that we don't have anymore deaths anytime soon. I just don't know if my family can bare much more.

His service was absolutely lovely. He got a military graveside service which was beautiful to see. Here are a few snap shots I got at the grave

Grandpa Keith Passey you will be missed. Until we meet again.....

Last Week...

*My week last week was amazing! It started Monday by going out to lunch at Cafe Rio (YUM) with my good friend Camie and her adorable daughter who is Sawyer's age. Sawyer is now completely obsessed with her! lol Also, at Cafe Rio did you know they give you quesadillas for kids for free? Did not know that! Love them even more now! After a yummy lunch we went to look at some baby clothes at Ross. Love Ross! That's where I've been getting so many adorable outfits!

*Tuesday, Brandon and I went to a ReAl game. It was the first one I had ever been to and I had a great time!

*Wednesday, was my prenatal massage! I was soooo thrilled to get this! I tried to lay on my tummy since they had 'special' pillows but my belly is just too big so I had to lay on my side which wasn't ideal but it turned out fine. The lady that gave me my massage was like in her 70s though! I was hoping for a foot massage but learned that foot massages can put you into labor.... Rather glad she knew that! The massage was awesome though! Thanks honey!

*Thursday, was my 31 week appointment. The babies looked great! They were both 3 pounds 15 ounces!! That means I think they are going to be good size if I can keep them in there for the whole time. We also scheduled my C-section for April 26th! My doctor said she could have scheduled it for the weekend before but then I would have been in the hospital over Easter. Didn't want that. Sawyer is going to be so much fun this year so I would rather be home with him. I can wait a few extra days I think! I have to go in for Stress tests once a week for the babies now too. Hopefully they stay healthy and keep growing bigger bigger! That night Brandon and I went to a Blaze game as well with our friends Dan & Tia and Bryant & Liz. 2 Dates in a week! Amazing!

*Friday, was our baby shower at Brandon's work. It was spectacular! We had Mexican (yum) and got so many wonderful gifts. Such a HUGE help! They were all so sweet to us and got Sawyer some Big Brother gifts too!! Made us all feel very special!! It was wonderful! That night Brandon took Sawyer and went to the cabin. I had been telling Brandon to just let me have a weekend by myself and take Sawyer up but never did and when he did I cried! lol Go figure! It was hard not seeing my guys. My friend Camie told me to come over and we watched movies and ate Reese's Eggs and Cadbury eggs for dinner! We stayed up taling until 1:30am too. Waayyyy late for us pregnant ladies but it was fun!

*Saturday, was the big day! Lady Gaga! I went fishing with my mom, Steven, and Derik early that morning and we only lasted about an hour and a half tops. It was FREEEEZING! After freezing and catching nothing, we decided we needed some breakfast! So we went to Granny Annies! Mmm soooo good! I did a little shopping after breakfast, took a nap, got ready and met Tia and Liz at Chili's for some dinner before we headed down to SLC to get our Gaga On! I didn't dress up but once I got to the concert I regreted not doing something. People were dressed in awesome/crazy outfits! Next time, I'll dress up for sure.

I love Lady Gaga! She sure is entertaining!

Moved in!

I did it! I moved Sawyer into his new room as of Tuesday! Brandon wasn't too thrilled since we want to redo the closet but I think it was a good idea to get him use to it and have his old room as the toy/baby room. Pictures to come!

Treehouse

Today, I got an early text message from my friend Michelle saying her and her daughter were going to go to the Treehouse Children's Museum in Ogden and wanted to know if we wanted to go! I had never heard of it but it sounded fun and I am always up for taking Sawyer out and about to run some energy out so we got ready as quick as possible and headed out. When we got there I was amazed at how many fun things there were to do! Each room is a wonderful new adventure for kids to experience! Sawyer enjoyed the music room and LOVED the train room! He liked the others too but just seemed to enjoy those two the best! Here are some cute pics I got of him and Tabitha (Taffia as Sawyer calls her!)....

Such a fun little place to take the little ones! Can't wait to go again!

30 Weeks!

Hooray, I made it to 30 weeks and I am not on bed rest (yet and hopefully I won't have to be).

I am definitely getting more and more uncomfortable. I woke up today and felt as though my pelvic bone was split in half. Walking today was horrible! But I made it through the day! Bending over is becoming ridiculous, sleep almost non-existent, and energy Zero! Ah the joys of pregnancy! The good things are I love feeling the babies move constantly! I haven't started swelling too horribly yet, I am still 20 lbs lighter than I was when I had Sawyer! And I'm having 2!! lol I have been stressing out a lot lately though. I am trying to get Sawyer moved into his new room but that is not happening like I'd like. Projects keep coming up so the move keeps getting postponed. I was looking at his closet and noticed how jammed all his clothes are so decided that we should try to put in more hanging bars and cubbies in his new closet. That means another week at least of him not being moved into his new room. Kinda frustrated. I just want to be organized but am finding it so difficult to get organized no matter how hard I try. Ugh.

Something that kinda drives me nuts about being pregnant is when people come up to you and say "Oh honey, you look absolutely miserable." What do you say to that? "Well I feel absolutely miserable and now I feel about a million times worse that you pointed that out. Thank you very much for that." The people who say that are WOMEN too!! Who have had kids! What are they thinking?! You don't say crap like that. Its just not nice. Annoying. Brandon bought me a massage so I think I am going to go this week and go get it! I could use an hour pregnancy massage!!

Here is my belly photos:
