2 vs. 2

What is "it?"

I went to the doctor yesterday for my 16 week checkup. Everything apparently looks good. The doctor listened to the heartbeat, and based on that, he is predicting a boy. He said he is right about 50% of the time. Lily, however, is convinced that it is a girl. She is constantly talking about how "she" is doing and telling me how she is going to have a sister. What do you think? Vote on my survey on the side.

Kids say the cutest things:
Lily came with Matt and me to the doctor yesterday. We told her we were going to go see how the baby was doing. While we were there, she told the doctor she was going to hold the baby. After they got home, Lily told Matt that she thought the doctor was going to take the baby out of my tummy, and she would get to hold her for a minute while they checked on how she was doing. I guess she was pretty disappointed when she found out she would have to wait a little longer to see her "sister."

A Cottage Built for Four...Again!

I waited this time until 12 weeks, and until we heard the heartbeat again, but we are expecting our second child (again)! I am due February 20th. Thanks everyone for your prayers and well wishes! So far everything looks great, and I am finally beginning to feel better. We'll see how it goes!

A quick trip

This past weekend, Matt, Lily, Matt's sister, Jennie, and I all went to California to visit Matt's grandma Pauline, who has cancer and isn't doing very well. She is 89, and is an amazing woman. We were able to see her, my dad and his wife, Matt's uncle that I had never met before, and some cousins that we haven't seen for years. We also got to see the beach, stop at Trader Joe's, and eat at the In N Out Burger. We left Friday afternoon and got back Sunday night, so we definitely did a lot of driving, but Lily was great (thanks for entertaining her, Jennie)! Here is a picture with Grandma.


I will have to get Jennie to send some pictures of the beach.

Mandy's wedding

Our sister and aunt Mandy got married last Friday to her Bryan (as Lily calls him). We are very excited for them! We also took a picture of our little family.

We've moved!

I have a new job and we have moved, and I feel like I can barely make it up for air. Things are a bit crazy right now, but I hope to update sometime!

It's Official!

On Valentine's Day, my older (and wiser and kinder) sister, Mandy, got engaged to a great guy named Bryan! We are so excited for them. They are planning on getting married on May 8 in the Salt Lake Temple. Here is her ring:
