I was three another month but now I'm four.



 We have been waiting a very very long time for this special day- March 3rd- Genevieve's Birthday! She has been so patient waiting and waiting to turn 4. She woke up with the biggest smile on her face, she knew it was her day! And then she found out we had regional conference and no primary.... that smile faded real quick.


But she still had a great day, with lots of family,
lots of pancakes, and balloons, and presents, 
and brown ice cream. It was perfect!


Neal has been up to his ears with things to do,
he is running everyday.
He is doing his regular (last semester!!!) law classes,
and in between studying for those he is
applying to take the bar [read: 45 page application, barf]
working with/for his mentor
job searching for when he graduates
keeping up with his church calling
still finding time to go out with the missionaries
doing dishes and laundry when he can
playing with Genevieve,
and
coping with a pregnant wife.

This guy is seriously amazing.
My heart is bursting with love for him.


I've made it to 35 weeks today, and holding strong!
Thanks to my dear family and friends
for helping me the last couple weeks,
I couldn't have made it without you.

I need to pack my hospital bag asap.
I still haven't made the mobile for over the crib.
I made an adorable hat to bring her home in!
I've stopped going to yoga, so sad.
I've continued eating grapefruit as fast as I can,
so yummy!

We went for an ultrasound Friday,
baby is about 5.1 lbs
and she was sucking on her fingers!
We got to see her little lips and fingers moving.
It was so fun. Everything is measuring right on
for how far along I am. 

My favorite moment this week
(and I think this whole pregnancy):

"Mommy, I want to be in your belly right now."
"Why?"
"So I can give my baby sister a hug!"

Melt my heart.
