Beach with Great Grandma Nonna

Brooklind got to spend some time with her great grandma Nonna from Utah. Nonna used to live in California, but has missed the beach ALOT!!! 

 We had to rent a beach wheelchair. I didn't even know those existed.

Jessica's Baptism day (my niece)

 My niece Jessica and Brooklind before she got baptized

The week before we met up with Stephen's family at Cafe Rio ( his aunts, uncles, cousins, niece, nephews, brother in law, and sister). It was a nice evening. 

 Brooklind loves posing in front of this wall for all our pictures!

19/20 week ultrasound

So I went Friday for the 20 week ultrasound (but I am 19 weeks a 1 day right now). Basically this ultrasound checks everything to make sure all the organs, limbs, and body parts are all there and developing correctly. They did confirm that it is a girl still :) 

This week I have my regular prenatal appointment so they will go over all the ultrasound results than. The technician gave me so really cool pictures. It still amazes me how technology is and everything you are able to see! Even though I've done all this before the ultrasounds are still exciting and never get old.

Pregnancy update

This picture I am 17 weeks 3 days

Now I am 18 weeks and 2 days. I am STILL feeling the morning sickness/nausea. I have tried a perscription called zofran that does work, but than you can't go to the bathroom. So that just wasn't fun anymore. Now I am trying another med that some friends told me about. It hasnt even been a week, but hopefully I start feeling better soon!!

My body us definitely growing!! AND FAST! Brooklind is not understanding she needs to be careful with mommy so that has been very frustrating and a few kicks to my belly and I am sore for a few days. She spends some time behind the baby gate playing a lot these days. 

I have my 18-20 weeks ultrasound this Friday to make sure the baby is growing and developing correctly and that everything else is going okay. They will confirm too we are having another little girl. Our 13 week ultrasound they were 99.9% sure so there shouldn't be any surprises.

Between 20-25 weeks I need to do the glucose blood test. Not looking forward to that because I hate orange soda. So the nasty stuff they make you drink is exactly like that :( Nothing else really to update on. Just trying to take it easy because I have been having some uncomfortable contractions lately. So thats a sign I need to take it easy momma!!!!!!

Mormon Helping Hands project May 2012

Our ward every year volunteers with the city of Fountain Valley to help plant and mulch Mile Square park. It was really hot this day, but so many people showed up so the work got done.

Brooklind tried to help and I did as much as I could being pregnant.
