31 weeks: aka Things That Have Made My Week

Number 1: That I made it to the 31 week mark (and 2 days). 31 weeks is when our Trevor was born, and I'm happy, happy, happy to have bedrest-ed right over that milestone.

{Also, I would like to make two comments about this photo: 1) I was actually dressed and up this day for my weekly doctor's appt. Sadly, my recent wardrobe is restricted to pajama-wear. 2) Now that I have posted this self-pic, I realize I look sort of wanna-be-model-pose-ish-like, but I assure you---I was merely holding on to this chair for support as to not topple over from my recent problem with imbalance...}

Number 2: Speaking of Trevor, we celebrated his 7th Birthday this week!!!! Everyone brought the party to mommy and daddy's room so mommy could watch the birthday boy open his presents. And that, in and of itself, was a birthday present to me. Lots of, "Thanks, guys!" and "Dad, you got it! You got it!" and "Mom, this is awesome!" He was so appreciative and gracious. Love you tons and tons, Trev. Thank you, Costco, for stepping in with a fabulous cake when I could not bring my usual cake mojo. And, thank you Steve-o for snapping a picture of the day.

Number 3: Our Relief Society president (women's leader at church), brought me some beautiful flowers from our recent Stake Conference that we missed { since I'm on my rump and we had another sick kiddo...}. These are just a few of the clusters that came from a huge, HUGE floral spray that was on display at the church meeting. We were afraid the flowers would die since they weren't in a vase so Steve and Paige pulled all the beautiful flowers out and made individual bouquets. These are just a few: there's one in our bathroom and one on my nightstand...they make me happy.

Number 4: Our ward family at church has been so generous with meals that have been brought in to our family. One night, Paige realized that no one happened to sign up to bring dinner in, so she hopped downstairs and got to work. When Steve got home from work, he said, "Did you know Paige made dinner?" A delicious meal of pasta (with her secret seasonings), refried beans with melted cheese, and canned pears. What a service, Ms. Paige. And it was tasty!

Number 5: Tonight I was reviewing our family schedule tomorrow and when Preston realized he has a field trip, his eyes got big with the "By George, I've got it!" look and headed downstairs. Again, when Steve got home from work he informed me that Preston had prepared and packed his entire lunch for his field trip: PB&J, cup of mandarin oranges, bag of fishies and cookies....Preston, you are too cute, buddy.

Number 6: And, finally, Mr. Gavin has officially named our little baby girl. It's true. And, he's quite adamant about it, actually. We love it and hope it fits her. I guess we'll find out when we meet her! Gav, you have lovely taste.
