Sign, sealed and delivered!

I know it's been a long time since I last blogged, but I am here to confirm that I am alive and well. :) I know a couple blogs ago, I told you I had a few things going on and that I would update on those. Well.. here it is. We got SEALED in July!! We were sealed in the Draper, UT Temple. It was a beautiful ceremony and everything we wanted it to be. And to top it all off, we got sealed on our anniversary, July 15th.  Exactly 1 year later. Pretty awesome. We had a wonderful time visiting Utah again, even though it was a super short trip.



Gentry was freakin awesome and got us this amazing cake. Which was all completed by the way, within 2 hours.. picture taken and all! She never ceases to amaze me.

We got to hang out with family. I reunited with the little ones and prayed they would remember me. Looks like I faired well with Paisley. Doesn't she have the  most kissable face!?
I was even pretty sneeky and got Kylie to let me hold her. She eventually fell asleep while I held her. It sometimes seems like there's nothing more precious than holding a sleeping child. LOVE!

I also went to see a chiropractor about that "nerve pain" I was having and he said it was an s.i. joint strain sprain. Basically that means that while my body was preparing for my baby, I probably released more of the Relaxin Hormone than I should have, and in turn, relaxed too much around my pelvic area. Which caused my bones and muscles to spread out and create an s.i. joint strain sprain. Sounds kind of complicated, but it makes sense. I'm off crutches now and by a miracle, was in time for my sealing, as you can see. Now I only go once a month. Things are looking up. :)

In the midst of all this, we went into our 20 week ultrasound to find out if we were having a boy or a girl.. Well, the little one would not move its' legs enough for us to see. So, our ultrasound tech was sweet and said shed just put on the form that she didn't get a good enough look at one of the feet, so we'd have to come in the following week. So, we went in the following week and low and behold our sweet child opened up just enough to give us a good look to find out that she's a GIRL!! We are thrilled and couldn't be happier. We have a couple names picked out, Jaelyn and Mila. Jaelyn has been the front runner, but we love both. Here are a couple cool ultrasound pics of our little girl:

Doesn't she just look SO comfy? I think she's already my little cuddle bug. :)


Here she's showing off her guns. She's little miss independent already. :)


This one she has her hand on her face. George calls this the demon picture. Haha!

We go in for a prenatal visit in a few weeks and they are offering a courtesy ultrasound in 3D of her face. But... I dunno. They actually already did one last time when we found out she was a girl and I think they're kinda weird and take away somewhat of the surprise. The doc said her features should be set by then, she'll just need to finish 'filling out." I might just opt for a cute foot pic instead. Or I also might just have the ultrasound tech take a pic of her while I look away and have her put it in an envelope for us to open after she's born. What are your guys thoughts on 3D ultrasounds?  Anyway, enough ranting. I'll try to blog more. I'm out. :)
