35 Weeks

Well I'm 35 weeks along and I finally have a new doctor. I felt a little silly switching doctors so late in this pregnancy, but after meeting my new one this week, I am so glad that I did! When I was looking up doctors I could switch to with my insurance I saw the name of one of them and just got a really good feeling about him. I looked him up online and saw all of his awesome reviews and felt even better. I knew this was the doctor I wanted. His office actually has 4 different doctors and you meet all of them and who ever happens to be on call when you go into labor is the doctor who delivers you. I have only met one of them, but I really hope he is the one to deliver my baby.

Speaking of my little baby, he definitely doesn't feel little inside me! I feel so huge and have been having such a hard time breathing, especially after eating. Sometimes I have to lay down on the ground on my side just to be able to catch my breath for a few minutes. According to my "What to Expect" app my little Kent could weigh about 6 pounds and could measure about 20 inches long now. Its so crazy to think that I could have such big baby inside me!

So I have a super cute friend here who took me out to get a pedicure. Mostly I took a picture of my toes just so I could see the flower better since it is really hard for me to bend down to see them. :) Her husband and his sister watched our kids and we went out and just had a girl morning and I think it is just what I needed. My feet are so happy now. Rachel keeps touching the flowers on my big toes and telling me how pretty they are. I need to paint her fingers and toes now.

Lately I have been telling Rachel that my baby is getting so big, and she responds by pulling up her shirt, sticking out her belly, and telling me "Rachel's baby big too!" I love my little Rachel-girl, but I'm nervous about how she will react to us bringing this little baby home. She definitely loves her mommy time and I think she is going to be a little jealous about having to share me with Kent. She absolutely loves babies though! Every week at church we hear babies during sacrament meeting and Rachel is always looking around to find them and says, "Baby cry!" I hope she will do okay when he comes. Only 5 more weeks!

Happy Day To You

One of my favorite parts of my birthday was when Rachel would randomly sing Happy Birthday to me through out the day. I tried really hard to get it on camera because it was so sweet and this was the best one I got. Its a little quite and was hard to hear because we were in the car, but here she is singing Happy Birthday. 

Rain

Well, it's monsoon season here in Tucson and while we have seen tons and tons of thunder and lightening, we haven't seen all that much rain. When the storm clouds start to roll in and we start hearing thunder, we have been opening our blinds so we can watch the lightening and see if it starts to rain. Every time we do this, Rachel sits and watches out the window and says to me, "Please rain? Please?" Every time I have to explain to her that I can't make it rain.

Last night we had a huge rain storm. We were outside when it started to rain and I couldn't believe how fast it rolled in! It had been a little overcast most of the day, but all of a sudden we were covered in these huge dark clouds. We stayed outside and watched it for a few minutes until it got to huge and scary to stay out in. We went back inside just in time for the power to go out. We were out of power for most of the evening. It was pretty exciting, for an evening, but I was very glad when we woke up this morning to see the power back on.

This morning Rachel kept looking outside and saying, "Rain! Please mommy, rain? Rain, please?" I told her once again that I couldn't make it rain. I told her Heavenly Father can make it rain. She looked at me and said, "Jesus?" I said yes, Jesus can make it rain too. She promptly folded her arms and started saying a prayer to Heavenly Father about rain.

I thought it was super cute that she know that prayer is how we talk to Heavenly Father, and it made me very happy that she started saying the prayer on her own. I guess we must be doing something right as parents. I love this little girl of mine.

Donut Anyone?

I know I've talked about it before, but I just love how much this girl of mine loves to share. She wants to share everything, especially if it is something fun or special. I bought a little bag of powdered donuts at the store the other week which is something we NEVER buy, but I bought them on a weak pregnancy moment. I gave one to Rachel and she wouldn't eat a bite until she made sure that I was going to eat one too. Then because I'm bigger than her, I ate mine faster. Once she saw that my donut was gone she stopped eating hers and looked at me and said, "More, donut, Mommy!" She didn't want another one, but she wanted to make sure that I was going to eat another one. She is always looking out for her mommy!

 

I think the real reason I wanted the powdered donuts is because I wanted to see how messy my little Rachel girl would get if I gave her one. She actually didn't do to bad with it. I love my little sharing girl!

A Baby Song

The other day Rachel picked up her baby and decided she needed to sing it a little baby son. Can I just tell you I love my little girl?
