I have so much to blog about...
SCHOOL:
Here is my most recent accomplishment! I had four major projects this semester and this Ethiopia poster is one of the four. I almost have all of the projects done and all my clinicals at the psych unit are complete! A few more tests and finals and then I can enjoy a new baby.
SHOWERS:
I had a shower over Christmas in Utah hosted by my mother-in-law. It was so fun to see all of Jeff's extended family and to hang out with his past neighbors and friends. I was so happy to have his grandma there and to get the pink quilt for Braelyn. A few weeks ago, Grandma Ella past away. She had such a wonderful life and I'm so glad I had the chance to meet her and learn from her.
My second shower was hosted by Summer and my friend Brittney. It was fabulous and I was so grateful to all who came. I received so many great gifts and I'm so excited to dress baby Braelyn, she is going to be one stylin' little girl!
SISTER:My little sister, Alexa, surprised me with a week trip to visit. It was so much fun to have her here and I just keep begging her to move here with me. She was at the baby shower, an ultrasound and we spent lots of time talking and playing card games. I love you sister!
This one is her sticking out her tongue at us :)
Another reason for the ultrasounds is my bump is measuring small. The doctor isn't sure exactly why, but thinks I may be carrying her low and more in my back than the average pregnant girl :) We are just glad our little girl keeps and growing, kicking and developing!
QUILT:
BABY:
Braelyn is growing! We have had lots of extra ultrasounds because both her and I were measuring small. In the Dr's words, "You are small, not too small, and she is small, but not too small." We are still having regular ultrasounds to monitor her growth because she has a small belly compared to the rest of her body.
Here she is sucking her thumb...(I think a bad habit has already begun)

It doesn't look small to me, but here it is at week 36! Less than a month to go.
QUILT:My friend, Erin, made me this quilt and sent it all the way to Kentucky. It is so adorable! As you can see cousin Taylor is obviously already jealous! Thanks Erin, I can't wait to have her all wrapped up.

Now that was a delightful read! I'm so happy you blogged. Looks like you've got the name down too. Braelyn, I like it. (Of course, I've done the math and realize she's named part me (Bra), part Ethan or Ellie (e), and finally your dad or grandpa (lyn). I guess I can let the 'Br' be for Brenda or Brandy and let your mom and Alexa have the 'a'. Wow, that was great! My brain is working way too much for past midnight!
I love you bunches and am happy you're both growing! I can't wait to see you next month. We'll have our own little shower then, I believe.
Tell Erin if she's bored, she can make me a blanket any time.
you had such a fun shower! after i left the party i kept saying, "man, i want another baby shower!"
and no i am not making any announcements, it's just that you get so much cool stuff.

You are such a cute pregnant girl! I hope everything goes well with finishing up your semester and then with the delivery! Keep us posted, Mandi!
That may be huge for you, but you look amazing! Your shower was so fun! Thanks for inviting me. Braelyn is so cute sucking her thumb. I can't wait to see her!
