the funny things kids say...

At church yesterday during Sacrament Meeting, I took Paxton in the Mother's lounge.  As we were in there, one of my friends came in to feed her baby. 

Paxton asked her, "Where's your baby?"

 So my friend opened up the blanket some so Paxton could see her. 

Paxton then replied, "She's eating you?"

 Ha ha ha, we were laughing so hard!  I guess at some point I'll have some explaining to do.

St. George

We went to St. George last week and had a blast!  We just needed a little get away, so it was perfect that Rem had fall break.

 

We visited the Temple.

 We went and saw the movie, Hotel Translyvania.  It was really cute, Paxton even liked it and didn't get scared.  (Nothing was too scary)

 We should have bought the large popcorn because that's what keeps him in his seat the best.  The popcorn ran out too fast.  Then he was wearing the popcorn bucket on his head pretty much the rest of the movie and said that he was in a marching band.

 We climbed on Dixie Rock, Paxton just loved being able to climb.

 We played at a really fun park.

Later that day Jamie and Dan joined us in St. George.  And it also started to rain, we were bummed out because we had tickets to go to Aladdin at Tuacahn that night.  The rain was off and on so we were hopeful, but no luck, they cancelled the show :(  So instead we had some friends over to hangout and play games.

 

 We went to the Wild Life Museum on a rainy day.  Paxton's favorite thing is animals, so he loved looking at and pointing out all the animals.  Some of them kind of scared him, we had to remind him that they were all fake.  It was pretty cool to see the museum, I couldn't believe how many animals were in there and most of them were shot by one guy.

 

 We enjoyed the water on our last day.  We were glad that it warmed up.  I couldn't believe how much Paxton was loving that splash pad.  Usually he is more afraid of the water getting in his face so he stays more clear of the water, but this time he was running right through and getting soaked!  I think everyone around was watching Paxton.  He was just running, screaming and laughing!

 

Silver Lake

I had been wanting to go up the mountains to see the beautiful colors on the trees.  I was disappointed at first because everything looked like it was dying already, but as we went further up the mountain we got to see the beautiful yellow trees.

 

Paxton was so excited to go up the mountain, he kept naming off all the animals we might see up there... ducks, elk, deer, moose, chipmunks, even chinchilla's!  (I guess Go Diego Go says chinchilla's live in the mountains??)

 

'Grandma Peggy' or 'Chuck-a-Rama Grandma' came with us.

Paxton loved climbing on the rocks, it was hard to get him to keep walking.

 

It was such a beautiful day!  I love walking around there.  Paxton even made some new friends, he loves saying hi to everyone that passes by.

Catch-up

Hot Air Balloons

Back in August, Paxton and I woke up early to go see the Sandy City hot air balloons take off.  I try to go every year, we make muffins and juice and walk over to the park.  It was so fun to see all the balloons get blown up and take off.  Not all of took off this year because it was a little bit windy.  We always see lots of neighbors there, it's a lot of fun!

Heber

Paxton's aunt Liana lives in Heber so we spent the day there with her, her baby Keladry and her neice, Andi.  We went to lunch at the train place (they are eating on the train) then back to Liana's parents house for naps and afterwards, swimming!  We had a good time, it was fun to go see all the horses too!

Twinners

Dan and Jamie showed up on Sunday to hang out and Jamie and I were twinners.  I don't know if I've said anything, but Jamie is pregnant too!  She is due in January, I'm so excited for her and it will be so fun to be pregnant together!

 



They took Paxton for a golf cart ride, his favorite!

1, 2, or more??

We are excited for our ONE little peanut that's growing inside me!

 

Yesterday we got to see the heartbeat and even hear it a little bit at 6 weeks!  It was so cool and made things seem so much more real.  I can't believe we are going to have a baby!  The doctor said they like to see the heartbeat anything over a 110 and ours was a 125.

 

Going into this appointment, I had been preparing myself for twins because we put in 2 embryo's and my doctor from the beginning seemed so sure that if we put in two that we would get two.  So during the ultrasound we both felt a slight disappointment when we couldn't find the second one.  But we were just so happy to see the one in there and hear that heartbeat!  And we both all along just wanted one from the beginning anyway.  It will make the pregnancy, delivery and after the baby comes so much easier than if there were two.  We just feel so blessed to be pregnant!

1 migraine

We are finally pregnant!

and can't believe it!

 

It was all worth it, we are so excited to add to our family!  I am only 4 weeks along, I know it's early, but so many people knew we were going through the In Vitro process so we had to tell the good news!  I am actually feeling great now, but I've heard that most women don't feel sickness until a little later 4+ weeks of pregnancy, so I still may get the sickness.

We can't believe it actually came out positive that we did two tests!

 

On the 9th we went in for a blood test to confirm, they like to see your HCG levels above 100.  We had a 295!  And then today (2 days later) I went in again for another blood test and they want to see that number double to make sure things are progressing and we had a 711!  We feel so blessed and are so grateful for such wonderful family and friends and for all your support and prayers!  We pray that this pregnancy will continue go well and that those embryos will stay sticky :)

 

Oh yes, we ended up putting two in, so in a couple of weeks we will go in for an ultrasound to find out how many are in there!  We will keep you posted!

 

It was really cute, before we made the decision of putting in two we had a conversation with Paxton...

 

Us:  Do you want a baby brother and a baby sister?

Paxton:  No just one

Us:  Do you want a brother or sister?

Paxton:  a brother

Us:  do you want 2 baby brothers

Paxton:  no just one

 

Later after we transfered the two, we told him about it and occasionally we'll ask him...

Us:  What's in Mommy's tummy?

Paxton:  a baby, two babies

 

and occasionally he'll say...

lots of 'em

 

Ha, we sure hope there's not LOTS of them.  We are anxious though to find out how many!
