In case you know of somebody

Ok. So we are selling vehicles to help pay for the baby and also get a commuter car for larry since he got a job in salt lake. So, if you know of anybody looking for a 02 ford explorer xlt or 95 ford f150 Eddie Bauer edition, feel free to let me know. Even those in Cali. That would be a good reason to take a trip!

Didn't see that one coming

Ok. So I have to laugh.
I was looking at some of my friends blogs who are pregnant. One is due about a week before me. She had weighed herself, about 2 weeks ago or something close to that, and had gained 4 lbs thus far. My other sweet friend who is due almost a month before me had gained only 7 lbs about a week or so ago. April 21st was my last appointment and I had gained about 15 lbs!! That was a month ago. And I know I've gotten bigger since. Ha! Is my dr gonna have to tell me to watch the foods that make my lips shiny again? Maybe it's really all muscle gain from carrying around Reagan... even though she walks most everywhere. OR maybe it's the 10 lbs of milk I'm carrying around. Yeah. That must be it! Well, here's my first "pregnancy picture" taken yesterday. Enjoy.


Ok. P.s, it's awkward taking these pictures of yourself. So ignore the weird face. I was focusing really hard on trying to focus the camera/phone and hold it still. I wasn't very successful, but you get the point.

Easter

For Easter this year we went and STAYED out in Condie Meadows. Usually Larry can't get time off, but this year he did! Too bad it was freezing, but we still had a good time.
Brent, Marie and kids came out too. We hung around the fire most of the time because it was so cold, but we also had an Easter egg hung that Saturday too. Hopefully next year the weather will realize what month it is and warm up a bit so we can stay and play.

More pictures to come. They're just on my other camera.

One down One to go.

So it looks like Larry and I have decided on a first name.

Elise!!

Now we need a middle name. Any suggestions??

Surgery

What a day.
As most of you know, Reagan was born with a clogged tear duct in her left eye. The doctors wouldn't even consider fixing it until she was at least a year old so the poor girl has had a goopy, runny eye this whole time. Not very fun.
Last week I went to an eye specialist to see if she qualified for the surgery to fix it, and she did. I kinda hesitated. It might have been good for her to have a nasty goopy eye as she got older because maybe that would have prevented her from dating. I could have saved the surgery as a graduation present! But, on the other hand, her cheeks were always dry and cracked from her tears, and people always thought she was sick because she had goop in her eye all the time. That's why Larry and I opted to get it fixed.
So this morning I woke up at 5am to get ready and get Reagan to the hospital by 6am. Lets just say all 3 of us were tired as we all went to bed too late, and Larry and I didn't sleep too well. When we got to the hospital, though, Reagan was in a really good mood; laughing and talking to the nurses. She liked her new bracelet, dress and hat that they let her wear! The paper work and talking to the doctors took the longest, but they were all so nice. Finally they took her. Larry and I had to go one way while they took her another way. She didn't even look back. Goodness. I was doing really well up until this point. I lost it. I knew she would be fine. The procedure was really short and not high risk. It was just really hard letting her go with strangers when I knew in just a minute she was going to be put to sleep and not be happy about it.
All went well, though. We were probably in the waiting room for 15-20 minutes before they came in and told us we could see her. I could hear her crying as she was waking up from the anesthesia in the hall. I just sat with her in my lap as she was waking up and she did such a good job. I'm so glad all went well and I'm excited that her eye is fixed. The doctor said she had 2 plugs/clogs but that it went really well. Whew.
Here are some pictures of her new outfit. What a cutie.
Checking out her new bracelet.Mind you, it was really early in the morning, so just ignore the scary mom in the picture.
