September 2015 - Before The Move

Our last month in Utah was wonderful! 

At my 33 week appointment we did got to do a 3D ultrasound! She was stubborn and had her face down for most of it, but we got to catch a little glimpse! So, that made me happy. I'm convinced most babies don't look anything like their 3D ultrasound pictures, but it's fine, it's still fun to see her little eyes and nose! 

 The US tech kept poking her trying to get her to move and apparently she did not like that at all....hahhaah look at that gremlin face!! 

After my appointment I spent the afternoon at Karrissa's house with my mom. Loved playing with this sweet Addi girl. 

Came home to this little cutie all snuggled up watching a movie 

 Hanging out at Lanham's -- feeding sweet Lyla! 

 His notes get creative every once in a while! :) 

 Grocery shopping on a Saturday night after a long day at work! 

 Meal prepping/becoming a grill master 

 Rory was quite sad Jess wouldn't share with her :(

 All set for a few days! Good thing too, huh? Those muscles aren't quite big enough ;)

Another work selfie, what?! 

 My mom packing up her house! And me? Being reeealll helpful, of course! 

 That's a legit pregnant belly right there. 

 Weekends got us like... 

 My last day working at Orem Rehab!!! I was so happy to work it with my bestie Ryan. After about three years there, and after some dumb work drama, I was very ready to be done. And cause I am large and can't bend over or walk real well... haha woohoo! 

 More Addi snuggles! We sure love this girl. And she definitely loves that uncle Jesse of hers! 

Jesse got me a spa gift card for my birthday back in January and I haven't used it yet! We decided to use it together on a couples massage before we move away and can't use it again! We had quite the relaxing (some what painful for jesse... he chose the deep tissue kind) time together! :) 

 And after... felt so good! 

 That night my parents wanted to take the family to dinner before my dad went out of town and we moved! We took the very long journey up to Cheesecake Factory but it was quite delicious so we call that worth it :) I sure love my family and am so grateful for them and their love and support. 

 Basketball? Watermelon? Baby? -- you decide. 

We decided it would be good to have one last big temple session with Jesse's family before we left! Plus, of course, a delicious brunch before :) The food was delicious and the time in the temple together was so special. We all cried a few times while doing sealings together as a family. It was extra special because the second I walked into the sealing room and sat down, I leaned over to Jesse and reminded him to think about our little girl... I felt like she was there with us. Then later on, the sealer looked at me and Rachel and said, "You know the angels I mention? I am positive those little babies are some of the angels here." And I just lost it. I felt so connected to the sweet thing growing inside me. It was wonderful. I am so very grateful for eternal marriages and families. 

 Our last Sunday dinner with my family -- ahhhh sad. I love them! Such a wonderful view right here. 

 On Monday Sept 14th the moving/packing company came to the house to pack up and load all of our stuff! It took the entire day, like 10 hours, but they finally did it all! There is so much stuff because of all the new stuff from my moms we got to take as well. Jess and I just sat on the chair watching tv, blogging, hanging out while they did their thing. And then they loaded it up and off it went! 

 Chik-fil-a and the SYTYCD finale with my mom, Karrissa, and the little girl. I loved it! So happy to get to spend some extra time with them. 

 Xbox really wears you out ;) 

 Love this little stink 

 Got my hair done with Starlee! Back to real brown, yes please! :) 

Karrissa planned such a fun girls night for us all! We went to dinner at Brick Oven and then went to the BYU dance concert. I of course loved all of it! Love these ladies. It seriously pains me to know I won't be home to have moments and experiences like this as often. 

 Jesse hung out with his brothers while I was gone then we met up and all hung out with the fam. 

 3 babies right here ;) 

Let's end with a really attractive belly picture... I had to take pictures this morning because I woke up and felt like I had grown five sizes! Felt like such a pregnant belly, had to document it.
