Moving Along

So I have basically sucked at blogging these past few weeks. We just moved from our third story condo. Where we have lived our whole married life, to a ground level town house. Let me tell you, not having to climb three flights of stairs has been life changing ha ha. This was my first time actually moving that I can remember. I officially hate it. Maybe being six months pregnant makes a big difference. I keep telling myself that. I just can't believe how much stuff we have. We are now completely moved in, but I am still unpacking.

I have been having strong braxton hicks this past month which is really early. So I was told to take it a bit easier. It is driving me crazy not to be completely unpacked already, but I have to go slow and make sure I don't stress my body too bad. Gracelyn needs to stay in there and keep cooking for at least 3 more months! I am so excited to meet this little girl. A part of me is so nervous though. Since we don't know what Isabelle has, there is a chance that whatever it is, is genetic. which means there is a chance that our other children could have special needs as well. We knew there was this chance as small as it is, when we started trying for this baby. When I told my neurologist I was pregnant she said she had to offer me the choice of an abortion, not congratulations. It broke my heart a little. That is basically asking me if I wish I would have had the choice to abort Isabelle if I knew she would have the special needs that she does. I am grateful everyday for our daughter. I know that God sent her to us possibly as a trial, but most of all as a blessing. She has the most innocent, sweetest spirit I have ever known. I know if Gracelyn or any of our other children have any difficulties that it will be Gods will. It is hard. Especially being around other babies her age and seeing the huge differences. I just try to pray and remind myself that God knows best, and wants the best for me and my family.

I hope everyone has a great week preparing for Easter and remembering Christs sacrifice and most important the Atonement he gained for all of us.
Ill leave you with a few pictures. Enjoy!
She hates pictures!



Chili's soup is a winner in her book.

I hate even the sight of boxes at the moment ha ha

The bees are still alive and doing well! Honey is coming!
