Check out this icicle!!!

We took this icicle off the back of our house.  Amazing that it was so big!

39 Weeks

Well, I finally made it!  I am 39 weeks today and headed to the hospital tomorrow to have this little baby boy!  Here's our last week picture!

The ABC's

Here are a few videos of the boys singing the ABCs.  Tanner is learning and growing way too fast!!!

Random

As I was going through the pictures on the camera, I came across these two pictures.  Tanner decided to put on Mason's coat and he was just so cute that we had to take a picture.

And then since we have had so much snow and extremely cold weather, we have had some massive icicles on our house.  I had Mason stand by one so you can tell just how big it got.  And then it fell down the next day.

And now I'm all caught up and this baby can come!  I am 38 1/2 weeks and we are scheduled to have this baby on Monday....as long as I don't go into labor before then.  On Monday, they will take us into the OR, be ready to do a C-section, and then attempt to turn the baby.  If the baby turns, they will induce labor and we will go ahead with a regular delivery as long as the baby is okay.  If the baby doesn't turn or there are any complications, they will do the C-section.  So, we are preparing for both and hoping that we can avoid a C-section.  If I happen to go into labor before then, they will have to do a C-section.  They will not be able to attempt to turn the baby if I am in labor and the uterus is contracting.  Other than that, I am taking it easy this week and just relaxing.  I have to teach Young Women's on Sunday and I know the other leaders are hoping I am there!  And I am too!

New Years Eve / New Years Day

This year was really low key for New Years!  We had corn dogs for dinner and then watched Despicable Me with the boys.  During the movie, we had banana splits and chips and dip.  The boys were in bed around 8PM, Montana was in bed by 9PM, and I was in bed by 10:30PM.  We were all exhausted!  The neighbors did wake me up at midnight with fireworks and yelling through the streets but that's what I get for going to bed early!

On New Years Day, we took down Christmas.  And pulled out the rest of the baby stuff.  Then we decided to go sledding with our friends, the Grens.  The park we went to was way crowded but the kids had a blast. We headed to McDonalds when we were done and then called it a day.  It was so fun to watch the boys enjoy it so much.  And Peyton didn't even complain about being cold!  I call that a success!

37 Weeks

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and headed to Maternal Fetal Medicine at the hospital to attempt to turn this baby today.  I had to be fasting for 8 hours in case they had to take the baby via C-section today.  That was probably the hardest part!  My mom and Trent came down to watch the boys so Montana could come with me.  We started with an ultrasound.  During this ultrasound, the doctor saw the umbilical cord on the right side of the neck, the left side of the neck, and across the back of the neck.  He couldn't get a view of the front of the neck due to the way the baby is laying.  He basically concluded that we would not be able to turn the baby due to the cord.  It could be wrapped completely around the baby's neck or just draped but he wasn't going to take any chances.  So, he had us do a non-stress test (NST) to make sure the baby was okay.  Everything was normal during the NST and we got sent on our way!  And I was able to eat!  The doctor wants me to have weekly NSTs and follow up with my doctors.  We will most likely come back at 39 weeks to attempt to turn again and deliver on the same day.  Such an adventure!

Christmas 2012

Montana had to work this Christmas so I decided to head to my parent's house on Sunday, the 23rd.  We also decided to open our presents from Grandma Randee and Allen before church that day.  The kids thought it was so fun to be able to open presents before Christmas!  We all got tons of fun stuff and we are so grateful for the presents.

After church, we ate dinner, loaded the van, and I took off with the kids to my parent's house.  We were glad that we traveled on Sunday because a big snow storm came in on Christmas Eve.  It was great cause then we had a white Christmas.  On Christmas Eve, all of my siblings and their families came over to my parent's house and we had a party.  We ate dinner and pie, opened presents from each other, and played our traditional game of White Elephant Bingo.  It was lots of fun and lots of chaos!

Montana was driving up after work on Christmas morning so I had to keep the kids occupied until he got there.  My mom and I decided to make the kids breakfast and then they got to eat it in the laundry room.  They thought that was quite fun!  In the process of making breakfast, my mom accidentally dropped the eggs onto the floor.  We got quite the laugh out of that one!

The kids were so excited that Santa left them a note!

And then Montana showed up and we started our present opening.

Montana had to go home that night and back to work but I stayed for a few more days with the kids.  Montana came back up on Friday to go duck hunting with my uncle and then we had the Wall Family Christmas Party on Saturday evening.  It was a good week to be able to sit back and relax.  But we were ready to be home by the end!

36 Weeks

 This is me at 36 weeks pregnant.  We just found out this baby is breech!  They will attempt to turn him at 37 weeks to avoid a C-section.

Music Share Day

Today, Mason's class had a music share day during Music class. He decided he was going to play the piano. He played a song that they have learned in Music class and he has figured out how to play on the piano. He did such a great job!

Krispy Kreme

We took Tanner to Krispy Kreme and he loved watching the donuts being made. And he loved eating the donuts...of course!

Ward Christmas Party

During our Ward Christmas Party, the Primary children sang a song. Mason and Peyton both got up and sang. Mason has a hard time getting up in front of people and doesn't like to sing for things like Mother's Day and Father's Day. But he did it and we are so proud of both of them!
