Ella, Milee, Cienne, Haven, & Hazel: February 2011

I had my 32 week prenatal appointment on Friday, February 18th. It went well. Baby's heartbeat was about 140bpm and I only gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks. I am measuring right on, have no swelling, and am feeling great! Here is a current picture of my belly:

32 wks 1 day

All is going well! The baby was breech at this appointment but that's okay. Most babies don't start turning until 32 wks and they can continue that process until 36 wks. It isn't until then that it is a concern. Next appointment doc will do an ultrasound to make sure baby is head down, and will also check me to make sure I am not dilating yet.

I am planning to take a picture of my belly the night before I expect baby to be born. I will then repost pictures of all of my belly pics so that you can see how much I grew in 32 weeks!

Another of my make up posts combined with a new one. With baby coming in 8 weeks I need to get on the ball. This post starts with December 2009 and will end with December 2010. Then I will be in January 2010 and work my way through November 2010 catching up on anything I missed. Finally we will be graced with 2011 and I will be caught up. Aren't you excited?

This is a photo to show how long Ella's bangs were getting

I just love Ella's little babbling in these next few videos. She was almost 18 months old, by 1 day to be exact.

SNOW!

Ella loves sitting in these cars outside of Sears at the FashionPlace Mall

She is such a helper!

Ella's first trip to the dentist! December 14, 2009

Ella fell asleep wearing a hat! hehe

This was Ella's 18mo checkup. She got a shot and immediately took the bandaid off and put it on her forehead. She also didn't say a peep when they gave her the shot. I was so proud of her!

We went to some friends house for Family Home Evening and decorated gingerbread houses! Our friend made these homemade and even melted Jolly Ranchers to make the stained glass window!

I LOVE this video! Every time she pushed the little gingerbread man over, she would say "uhoh". Adorable!

This year for our family treat to give to friends I made these adorable snowman dirt pudding cups. Ella really enjoyed them!

My snowmen!

Snoopy Ella!

Christmas 2009

Each year we go to Temple Square on Christmas Eve. I had a couple of videos of our excursion but they were really really dark. So we'll settle for the pictures!

Christmas Morning

Some of these videos are of Ella opening presents. She seemed to take forever, so you can watch the beginning of the video and skip to the end to see what she got :) Also, my family wasn't able to join us for Christmas this year so they joined us on Skype. You can hear them in the background.

Checking out her new kitchen set!

She's already cooking!

Christmas 2010

This year Grandma and Grandpa Smith and Auntie Danielle were able to join us for our first Christmas in our new house.

Ella loves to slide down the stairs!

Our annual trip to Temple Square on Christmas Eve. I took some cute pictures of my family too but it appears they neglected to add them to the CD they sent me of the pictures for my blog.

Our cute family, December 2010

Can't forget baby!

Ella loved walking on this high ledge. This is a picture of her on it.

Christmas Morning 2010

If you look at the windows you can see it is obviously nice and bright outside. This is due to the fact that my dear daughter sleeps in until 9 on Christmas morning, hehe!
