HJ knows "nose"

Nate's about to be WAY out-numbered

How fun will it be for these sisters to be 16 months apart?!? Nate wore his blue polo shirt to the US but I noticed he had a pink button-down loaded in the car too....he changed before we dropped him off at shcool.

Reasons we're excited:

a) I just know they'll be best friends
b) We basically don't have to buy anything because we're already in baby girl mode.
c) They will be sharing EVERYTHING - sorry girlys, get used to it.

The ultrasound looks great. Everything is normal. She is measuring exactly two weeks ahead of schedule (same as Hannah so don't get excited). I'm still amazed at how a simple US can look at all those little organs and parts. Having children is the most magical miraculous thing! We can't help but feel Heavenly Father's incredible love for us. Def, one of those "worth it" moments. Oh, and FYI, your bladder does NOT have to be busting at the seems for US these days. Please give us your name suggestions!!

These boots are made for walkin...

Wow, life really does change when your baby starts walking. Hannah has bonked her head, face, knees more in the last week than the last 9 months. She gets so excited when she's walking and will NOT sit still for anything. Oh, we love this little gal!!!

16 weeks, heart rate 163. What do you think we are having? We (might) find out in 2 weeks!?!



The BEST part about fall season:

Here's a shout out to my bestest sister Jenna as she starts her first day of nursing school tomorrow. New town (Go Broncos), new apt, new ward, new everything - we all know it can be a little rough at first. For what's it's worth, we back here in NC are pulling for you 110%! WE LOVE YOU AUNT JENNA!!!
