Early April 2022 (Easter)


38 weeks

Visiting my family for the last time before baby comes.

Felix had an ultrasound on his GI tract, everything came back normal! And he was a champ holding still.

Reading Peter Rabbit with Daddy.

Shake date with Daddy.

Our community brought in goats and sheep to clear away long grass and weeds before they start putting in more houses. It was been fun to walk over and watch the animals!


Pirate Felix.

Brothers having fun.

Cool set-up for Warhammer. Jeff 3D printed and painted the figures AND set pieces!

Sniping with a golf club.

Jeff took the boys to play tennis a couple of times. In this pic, it looks like Felix is laying tennis ball eggs!

Jeff and I got a last date before the baby comes.

39 weeks

We celebrated Easter a eek early since we didn't know when the baby would come (turns out, I would head to the hospital later that night!)

Felix tuckered out after church, before we could start our Easter festivities!

The boys with their Easter basket loot.

Decorating Easter eggs



Jeff's decorated egg.

Oh no! Egg casualty! It fell out of our little tree.

Ready set go!



After finding all the eggs, we went on a walk/scooter ride. I did "curb walking" to try to get labor going (I guess it worked?)

Thumbs up after my water broke right before 10pm!

March 2022 (Cousin visit, Baby Shower)

Felix loves Follow the Prophet.

Felix got his long cast off briefly, but his radius wasn't healed enough so he got to have a short cast for two weeks.



Video is a little long, but you can see the constant pokes and kicks that I feel all day.

Felix thinks some of Jeff and Axel’s mini figures look like Lamanites.


Me and my boys!



34 weeks

Axel's drawing for school cracked me up.

35 weeks


These cuties have been able to play in the backyard so much! Also Felix had to wear a soft brace after he got his cast off.

Blowing dandelions at the park.

Cousins came to visit for a short weekend!

Playing puzzles.

Sooo many puzzles!

Twin cuties.

Great Grandma and Grandpa B were able to come visit too.

My friends threw me a wonderful baby shower, and it happened to be the weekend that Grandma B and Alicia could come too!

Playing the "guess the candybar in the diaper" game. So gross!

I got so many gifts, this baby is going to be well stocked for a while!


I even got a personalized quilt, homemade receiving blankets, and homemade burp rags! People were so generous!

36 weeks

After the baby shower, we returned to my house (where the men and children had been hanging out) to celebrate Great Grandma B's 80 birthday!


We finally got a grill!

37 weeks

At 37 weeks with Felix, I measured 44 inches around, but this time I'm only 41 inches around. Little lady likes to stay tucked up high, I think.

Axel trying to teach Felix to play War.



Axel got his sparring gear for Taekwondo, so of course they had to try out punching and kicking him (the other kid is Axel's friend David)

We bought patio furniture, so I let the boys play with the huge box. It has been a lot of fun for them!


My sweet Grandma M passed away on March 31st. We miss her spunk and kindness, but know we will get to see her again. I love you Grandma!
