Baby Girl: 28 Weeks

Third Trimester!!

I had my follow up ultrasound- my placenta has moved a lot! They like it to be 2 cm away from the cervix and mine is only 1-1.5 cm away. So I'm not in the clear yet from needing a c section but with how much it moved in the last couple months my doctor is optimistic that it should be fine to deliver!

Glucose, blood levels and platelet levels all came back good! I had to have blood drawn again to check the antibody levels- my doctor couldn't find my results ha I haven't gotten a call from them so I'm assuming everything is good.

I have still been feeling so good. I haven't been sick but have been taking a nap almost every day ;)

Cravings: SALT! Seriously, give me all the chips- this isn't any different than my previous pregnancies. Although I have been controlling it better this time by not buying chips hardly ever!

Weight gain: 12 lbs.

Name: Baby Sister haha with 2 other kids keeping us super busy we still haven't talked much and decided on a name! Hopefully we can get one figured out soon though!

I've been taking heartburn medicine the past month and it has helped SO much!

Baby sister loves to wake up at bed time and let me know she's there. Brooklyn hardly ever moved, Parley never stopped moving. This baby is pretty much in the middle. She moves enough that I'm not worried but she's not constantly kicking me in the ribs.

Brooklyn: 3 years 3 months

Has been having a hard time at dance class the past few weeks. They started learning their dance for their recital and she hasn't been wanting to do it..

Brooklyn loves to say "Oh my heck!"

She loves Spiderman and Buzz Lightyear.

Brooklyn still refuses to help us come up with a name for baby sister, her name is just baby sister.

When she wakes up she runs out to Parley and gives him a hug and a kiss, then runs to me and gives baby sister a hug and a kiss.

"Mommy where did my cup go?"
"I don't know, where did you put it?"
"I threw it in my toy room."
"Well why did you do that?"
"Because I was upset..."

Mommy I'm getting married!!

Brooklyn is so protective and loves her little brother!

Parley: 1 year 2 months

Parley has really taken off cruising this past month and a half. He also has learned to climb on the table and he thinks it's the funniest thing ever. 

Will quit crying if you turn on the tv or give him food. 

Parley loves to climb all over his dad and sit on his head. He uses Curtis as his personal jungle gym!

8 teeth

We are trying to wean him off the pacifier and bottle. He only has the pacifier if he wakes up in the night and won't go back to sleep. He still isn't a fan of sippy cups.. 

I wouldn't say Parley is a mama's boy or a daddy's boy but when he wants a certain parent he wants them right now. I love watching Parley's reaction when Curtis gets home from work, you can tell he has missed him all day. He will yell out "daddy!" and run to him squealing. 

Brooklyn: 3 years 2 months

On New Year's Eve Curtis gave Brooklyn a Father's Blessing to help and protect her throughout the new year. She was blessed to grow in and love the gospel, enjoy and love primary as she starts something new, love and play with her siblings, stay healthy, love her family and be a good helper. 

Brooklyn started going to primary last week! She is now a Sunbeam and no longer goes to Nursery. She had a blast and absolutely loved it. I was shocked, but we had been talking it up to her so she wouldn't have such a hard time. She really loves the song 'Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam' so we knew she would love being a sunbeam. 

We were driving to the gas station one day and all of the sudden Brooklyn goes "Oh my heck!" I just started busting out laughing. She sure pays attention to how i talk haha it was the cutest thing ever.

Brooklyn absolutely loves Spiderman. I have no idea why or where her obsession came from but its super cute how much she loves him. 

"Brooklyn what should we name baby sister?"
"I don't know. But not Honey Lemon or Strawberry!"
I think we're good on those names! Honey Lemon is the name of a superhero on the movie Big Hero 6, which Brooklyn loves. For a couple weeks she was telling us we should name her Honey Lemon but it seems she has changed her mind. Haha. 

We ran out of Kleenex a couple weeks ago and Parley has been teething with a super runny nose. Well I kept forgetting to get more Kleenex at the store so we were just using toilet paper for a little while. Brooklyn starting calling the toilet paper 'bum kleenex' and Curtis and I about died. It was hilarious and I think it's the funniest name ever for toilet paper!

I think we can tell that we've been eating too many treats and junk food lately (holidays!) because Brooklyn's favorite foods have become broccoli and salad. 

Brooklyn had a pretty fun Christmas. Santa brought her and Parley a slide and a big canister of chocolate milk mix!
