Thursday - April 15th
We arrived home from St.George yesterday around 6:30pm. We had a nice vacation. It was really warm in St. George. The temperature was in the 80s. That was really hot for me. I think going some place warm is not a good idea for a pregnant lady.
It was really nice to spend some time with my parents. I miss them. I wish we lived closer to them. Kristy and Shan, and Shelley and her kids came on Sunday for Easter. It was fun to see them. Alissa had a lot of fun playing with her cousins. Alissa played hard while we were there. We went swimming two times. Alissa loved it. She kept wanting to get away from me and go on her own. She didn't understand that she wouldn't stay above the water without me. I'm glad that we don't live near a pool, because we would have a hard time keeping her away from it.
On Easter Morning, April 11th, we had an Easter egg hunt. It was fun to watch Alissa.
Here I am, big with child.
Our cute little 'lissa.
Here is little Alex, showing us what he got.
Shelley, showing us her yummy treat. I don't remember what candy was in there, but she says it is the best.
Here's Hannah showing us her bag of candy filled eggs.
And, here is Kaylie.
Alissa got a baby stroller (for her doll) for Easter. She loves taking her baby for walks.
This is her playing with her stroller on Tuesday, April 13th.
Alissa was having a hard time backing her stroller up. Part of it kept running into the shed. It was making her so mad. she finally gave up and left the stroller there.
The many faces of Alissa.
Roger's impression of what Alissa's fussy face looks like.
We finally got Alissa in some clothes, so we could go for a walk. We walked over to the little cemetery first, then we took a short walk around the neighborhood.
Alissa insisted on bringing her stroller with us.
The bed that we slept in was very uncomfortable. I had a lot of aches and pains from that bed. I was having a lot of contractions. I thought I was going in to labor. I'm 34 weeks along, so it's good that I didn't.
The baby has dropped and I feel like it won't be long. I think the baby will be born around 37 weeks. Of course, I don't know, but that is just what I'm feeling. I think Parker will come early.
I babysat today. Shayden came at 7:38am. I wasn't awake when she came. I wasn't expecting her until 8:00am. Roger jumped out of bed and got the door, because he can get dressed faster. Tomorrow I'll be ready. I know now that when he says he'll drop her off at 8:00am, he means 7:40 ish. Jerian and her mom are out of town, visiting a sister, so Shayden's dad is the one dropping her off.
The house is not looking so nice lately. I am way too tired all the time to get much done. I was able to straighten it up a little, but not too much.
I went to the doctor today. He said that if I keep having a lot of contractions and they become more regular, he will check me. they will stop the labor if it starts now. He says if I go into labor in two weeks then that will be fine.
I heard two stories today about people losing a child that was Alissa's age. I can't imagine life without Alissa. I love her too much. I feel so sad for those families. I appreciate every moment that i get to spend with her. I love my family. I am so blessed.
