31 Weeks Big


31 weeks and only 9 more to go (about 2 more months)!
However, I feel like I am at my limit! I am 43 inches round and fear one more inch and I will bust!
I've gained 13 pounds and Cameron says it looks like more (oh how sweet of him).
I honestly don't know how I did it before with my girls! I gained 25-30 pounds with them! I'll keep you posted as my growth keeps on going and going and going!

Dress Up!


Girls will be Girls! My girls love to dress up! I am getting them started young in the love of Shopping and dressing!
* Please note Avy wearing Mr. Potatoe's Head classes, a skirt shaped purse and a lovely necklace. Brooklyn is sporting purple shoes with pink bows, a fluffy skirt, paired with a cell phone, boa and necklace.

Hiccups


This morning my littlest one (Baby #3) had hiccips. It wasn't his first time, but we were still in bed and Cameron was trying to avoid getting up and ready. Me being the loving wife that I am was snuggled right about against him (as close as I can go) so that Cameron could feel the hiccips. Cameron thinks that it is so gross and creepy to be able to feel him (unnatural). So I thought this will help him get up. Cameron was trying as hard as he could just to ignore it until BAM! He got a nice kick in the back! Cameron shouts and I am laughing knowing he will not be able to go back to sleep now!! Ha ha ha, mission accomplished!

Usually it is our girls that will get in our of bed in the mornings to wake Cameron up and I think our little baby just wanted to be part of the action. Then I got to thinking ("a dangerous pastime, I know"), all of my babies little movements are the only ways he can communicate with me right now. I laid in bed for a little while with my hand pressed watching my belly mis-shape and hand raise as he would oh so powerfully kick or press against me and a smile crept along my face.

Right now there are times I find his movements inconvenient for my self (sleeping time), but I know, just like the others, I will miss the connection that only him and I had from the inside out. My babies have touch my lives in way that no one else can!

President Monson said something this Conference that rang closely to my heart. It went something like this, but not exactly... "You might have piles of laundry, smudge prints every where, and (something else) right now, but they will all disappear and you will miss them."

Over the Mountains and Through the Woods

To Grandpa's house we go!

Last Thursday we packed up our little car (better gas mileage) and headed on over to West Valley Utah to visit Cameron's Dad and Grandpa for General Conference weekend. It was an all of a sudden trip. We wanted to go before I was 32 weeks along (doctor rules) but also it had to be a weekend we had no church, because Cameron can't miss any one before the Primary Program (for those who don't know, he is the chorister!). So off we went! Girls did really well in the car and mostly just wanted to hear stories and sing songs. Brooklyn still wants a van with a TV in it though.

We also got to visit with Two of Cameron's sisters and their families because they came down to stay at his Dad's as well! Brooklyn has a little girl cousin who is just her age and was perfect for her. Avonlea loves attention from adults and would be giggling the whole time. But their most favorite part of the trip was the swings!

Cameron's Grandpa built a long time ago (30ish years) an amazing swing set! They could swing on it for hours and probably did. Even Avy was able to swing on the big girl swing and held herself up nicely on it! The great thing about these swings is that the chains are so long, which makes Brooklyn go so high! Over the fence and to the moon.
