Happy Halloween!

The tradition continues! My sister Michelle painted my belly an ornament with Sadie. This time it is a pumpkin. She does an amazing job.

Our lives

Life has been crazy and exciting the last few weeks. We have now put Sadie in her toddler crib, because she learned how to climb and fall out of her crib. She has adjusted decently well. Except for some mornings she decides 6:30am is her wake time. Which last night was one of those cases and I happen not to fall asleep till 1:00am and woke up at 5:00am. It's just one of those mommy days I guess. The first time ever I let her wonder through the house while I stayed in bed. I was actually grateful that she found her diaper bag with raisins and gold fish in it. What a great breakfast!
As for the pregnancy I don't know how to feel about it. I went to the doctor yesterday. To find out I lost another pound and the baby isn't growing as well as he would like. He wants to induce me next week if the baby isn't at 6lbs by then. Which I think is very unlikely that he will be considering he is averaging 5oz a week and he was 5lbs 6oz at the appointment. I don't want to be induced, because I'm looking forward to having this baby naturally and being induced makes the likelihood of that slim.
Ben is taking an engineering exam on Saturday Oct. 24th. So he spends most of his time studying and we are crossing our fingers the baby doesn't come during this next weekend so he can take it.
Pregnancy and babies are so unpredictable. I guess we just have to wait this one out and hope for the best!

KNITTING

I have a new talent! My mom and I found a lady that was willing to teach us how to knit hats. This is my first complete hat. I'm so excited! Now it is time to make some hats for the little one to come.

TODDLER here we come

I usually let Sadie roam the house while I shower. She is pretty good about not getting into things. Not this time! I came into the kitchen to find her in the dishwasher. She really thinks she is a helper which she is most of the time.

Peach Days

Peach Days has always been a tradition for the Jeppsen family. We had a lot of fun this year. We always start off with the parade. Sadie loved picking up the candy and putting it in her bag. After the parade we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Jeppsen's for the traditional pot luck.

Poor Girl

We just got her over her tonsillitis and her comes the spider bites. I guess it is off to Logan to see the doctor again today. I just feel for our sweet little girl. Hopefullly this one will heal easily. I think Ben will listen to me and kill the spiders now! Instead of letting them outside because they eat the bugs! I do not like spiders and they are not good in my book.

Wisdom Teeth

This last Friday for our long weekend we took Ben to have his wisdom teeth out. He has done pretty good with it. He was eating steak the next day. He basically grounded it up like hamburger. When a man is hungry I guess he'll do whatever it takes for some good food.

Pregnancy 30 weeks 5 days

My sister called me today and told me 97.1 ZHT is doing a bump contest. So my sweetheart of a husband was so nice to take a couple pictures of my baby bump to send into the contest. I'll let you know when to vote. 1st place winner receives a baby nursery. 2nd and 3rd get a $200.00 gift certificate to a baby store that is sponsering the contest. I think Ben did a great job! We took the pictures down by the train station in Brigham.

Sadie loves her baby!

Sadie loves her little baby. She has it with her all the time. She carries it around the house with a blanket and rocks it in her swing, gives it drinks, tries to feed her baby, burps it, rocks it in her chair, sings songs to the baby, gives the baby kisses, and the new one today is taking the baby potty. She brought her baby to me and said gross. I noticed it had water all over it. Thinking she tried to give her baby a drink. I asked her where the babies drink was. Then she showed me the potty that the baby went potty on. Good thing the baby is washable. I just hope she doesn't get these ideas with her little brother.

Burp Clothes

I have had the hardest time finding cute things to make for our baby boy. I could make bows, beaded socks, and all that other girly stuff for Sadie, but for a boy it just doesn't work. My mom told me about these burp clothes and I looked it up online. So my mom and I took off to find everything we needed. I'm doing boy burp clothes and she is doing girl ones. Thanks to Ben watching Sadie the last couple of nights I have these fabulous burp clothes made out of clothe diapers.

First Hair Cut

Sadie was in desperately need of a hair cut. Ben really didn't want it done, because he wanted to wait till it got long enough to put in pony tails. As you can see it is growing in unevenly. I call the sides her wings. It kind of looks like she can fly away.

Finished product. No more wings! Now it is all even.

It only took over 19 months to get her first hair cut.

Nursery Poster

I finally finished my poster. I started this about a week ago. The stars have velcro on the back so as the children come into nursery they can put their star up on the poster. I also laminated the poster and stars hoping it will help it last longer. I am still missing one photo as you can tell. All the others I went to their houses or took their picture at nursery. I hope the little ones enjoy it.

28 weeks pregnant

28 weeks pregnant and still loosing my mind. Today I made pork chops in the crock pot. Ben got home and asked what's for dinner? Strange cause he can usually smell what is cooking! I forgot to plug in the crock pot. Other than loosing my mind the pregnancy has been good. I'm starting to get uncomfortable at night trying to sleep, but the body pillow really helps. As for our baby boy he is doing great and he is a little cutie. I had an ultrasound just yesterday and I could see his little face and hands. It's amazing to realize what the human body can create. We love him already and are anticipating his arrival. Sadie says baby when she points to my belly and whenever we watch the ultrasounds. I'm sure she doesn't completely understand, but it is still fun to tell her about little brother.

El Toro Viejo

Sadie really enjoying the french fries and ranch dressing!

As usually Friday night we headed out for date night. Sadie came along with us for this one. We drove by the El Toro Viejo Mexican restaurant by our place and realized that it was opening night in ten minutes. So we decided it would be fun to be their first customers and it was. They took our picture and charged us $1.00 for all our meals. They are going to frame them and put it up on their wall. They said that it is custom in mexico and gives the business good luck.

Kenny Chesney Concert

We had a good time at the concert. I'm pretty sure we were the only sober ones. The people were half of the entertainment.
