Clara - April Update

This month as been a wonderful month so far. Today in church the entire sacrament meeting (besides the blessing and passing of course) the Choir sang a Cantata that described the Saviors life from the story of his birth to him returning to the heavens, and how like those of old we are waiting for the Savior to come to earth. It was the most powerful spiritual experience I have ever had in Sacrament meeting and it's because of the music. The spirit speaks more loudly to me...or I am more able to feel and hear it, more in tune to it, when it comes through music. At one point I was crying and both my girls grabbed their blankets and wiped my face and said, "Ok mommy. You ok mommy." It was a precious experience.

My birthday was on the 7th and K.C. surprised me with a Trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.


And I just have to share these two pictures of my girls. Zelda loves the camera, and this was the first time I've ever been able to get Gretas, or at least part of it, smile on camera!


In other news...I have my first ultra-sound on Wednesday to determine how far along I actually am. At most we're 12 weeks pregnant at least 8-9 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good except for the fact in 2 months I now weigh as much as I did the day they delivered Greta. Which is kind of a bummer. I'm hoping since I've been eating a LOT better and more exercise and walking I may stay this weight for a few more months lol. Instead of losing weight I'm hoping to just gain baby lol. I know it's most likely not going to happen but one can wish right? Other than that I'm feeling great. No morning sickness. I'm not over tired or depressed, or sick. Foods don't really make me sick and no pain. I feel really good. We'll just see what 3rd trimester brings. Usually lots of heart burn and hip pain. I'll post the ultra-sound pictures later this week if they give me some to bring home.

Zelda and Greta are talking up a storm. Zelda has a TON of words, but very few of those see can say completely. While Greta, has a few words and says them better than Zelda does. It kind of baffels me but they are both very healthy happy girls, and I cannot imagine my life with out them. I love them so much. Zelda is almost potty trained too. She goes...as long as I remember to tell her, but she holds #2 and so now she's so constipated....I don't know what to do there lol She refuses to do it in the potty...She's only 2 1/2 so we've got time. As long as she's potty trained by Jan. before she heads to Sunbeams we'll be ok. I prefer it to be before # 3 arrives, but we'll see. Practice makes perfect right? Any ideas or advice on the subject is very welcome! lol

K.C. is loving his job. He likes that he gets to take the bad guys off the street. Recently, he had his first fatal though. I know it effected him a bit, but I don't think it has as much as it would have had it been an "innocent" person killed. In fact everyone but the drunk driver "walked" away or out of the hospital a few hours later. It's sad to see a life lost, but I think he would have taken it harder had it been reversed. He loves playing with the girls. There's nothing quite close to warming my heart that watching him play with the girls and hear everyones giggles. I am so lucky that I found someone who is a wonderful husband, daddy, and my best friend. I thank Heavenly Father every day for the huge blessing in my life that K.C. is.


Well, thats all for us. Sorry it's so long....I don't get to talk "adult" very often. I love you my family and I am truly blessed to have you apart of my life!
