THE WAITING GAME...

On Sunday, I started having contractions. They were frequent, about every 5 minutes, and getting stronger.

Off to the hospital we went.

We spent about 4 hours in the hospital and I was having contractions the entire time...but...I was only dilated to a 3.

I didn't want to be induced.

They told me I could go home for a couple hours or stay. We decided to go home.

I ran sprints and stairs hoping that would help things along.

Well, nothing happened and my contractions stopped completely.

Bummer.

So...4 days later I am still waiting for this peanut to come.

She already has a mind of her own.

Can my belly get any bigger?

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

I LOVE THE LITTLE PEANUT IN MY BELLY.

Can't wait to meet her!

I also LOVE... THESE TWO BOYS!

BRAD, OLI, and BABY SISI:

YOU ARE MY WORLD !

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Really???

So, the pregnant comments never cease to amaze me. I have been receiving them frequently and decided I need to document them. So let the documentation begin...

1- You are so cut pregnant...you look miserable though. (How do I take this??)
2- (At the Dan's checkout stand and the cashier says) Attention we have a customer stealing a watermelon.
3- You are about to burst. (Thank you as if I didn't know)

UPDATE

We have been busy: We are remodeling the basement. With an older home this always becomes more work than expected. We are in it deep.
I think Oli would prefer the basement to be unfinished because he gets to skate and bike. Lately, he has been sleeping with his skateboard again. The first thing he said to me this morning was, "Skate mom. Helmet."

Over Presidents day, we took Oli skiing at Solitude. He loves it. When we finish a run, he says, "I ski fast!" He is a trooper. I don't know what he loves more, skiing, or getting french fries at the lodge.

Oli has started calling me "Tiff". When I ask him a question he looks at me and says, "Yeah Tiff" He is so funny!

I am due in 3 weeks and feeling ready to have this little munchkin out of my belly.

Family

I love the holidays because we get to spend it with family and friends. We are so blessed to have so much love around us. We spent Christmas Eve and morning with my family in Orem. It was so fun to see how excited Oliver was when he saw the tree on Christmas morning. We got to talk to Derek on Christmas morning. he is serving a mission in the Philippines. He is doing great, and it was fun to hear his voice. He gets home in June WooHoo.
Christmas afternoon we spent at the McQueens. We were spoiled this year, because Matt and his girls from Colorado were here, as well as Jordan and Sierra. Love them all. We went sledding and skiing in their yard which was a blast.
We were able to ski at Solitude over the break. It is harder to get up there, because Brad still can't ski, and I am super prego. Brad was able to take Oli on a couple runs. Oli kept sayin, "I ski fast." The snow was fantastic and I was happy to get in a least one ski day before the babe comes.
I have about 6 more weeks until our baby girlie arrives!
