Creating Memories

Claire

Of course she is still the most adorable baby on the planet and we love to go play outside in the back yard while the weather still allows. I make it a point to go out when it is warmest outside so she doesn't have the coat in her way of fun because she loves the trampoline. She can't bounce herself but she likes when others are bouncing her and she can enjoy the ride. Her hair likes to stand straight up, too, not that we don't do that as her hair style other days on purpose. Chris calls it a water spout and loves to point it out to everyone.

2nd Pregnancy

I'm now in my 20th week of this pregnancy and really can't hide this stomach anymore even if I tried, which I still sometimes want to. If it was a little colder I could wear hoodies, but I honestly just need to get over my aversion and accept my bigger belly. It is only going to get bigger after all and I've been lucky enough to not have any more sickness so far. We are planning for the future and very excited to meet our new little girl when the time comes. I've now felt her move two times! Little flurries of kicks right as I am lying down to go to sleep was her most active time and now I look forward to it. I want to meet her and get to know her just like we've been getting to know Claire, but only time will tell how different or similar they will be!

Reading

Still on schedule with my reading of the Book of Mormon and we are in the Isaiah chapters of 2nd Nephi for anyone reading with me. They are the ones harder to understand, but they have as many mentions of Christ as the rest have had. It is truly a testimony to how the Lord is in every part of the world's history and really cares about His children. Keep up the reading!
