Paisley's room

This posting is mostly for my mom. I have been working on getting the baby room finished up and she has just been dying to see what it looks like.

Baby shower!

On Saturday my family did a baby shower for me. They put so much work and effort into it and I really appreciate it! Thank you so much to everyone who came and showered me with all of the awesome gifts!

When I was working at St.Mark's in Salt Lake I took care of a girl that was pregnant with twins. She had to be in the hospital for about two months on bed rest because they kept trying to come too early. I took care of her almost every time that I worked and really grew to love her and her family. The last night I worked she went into labor and we couldn't stop her. She delivered her twins at about 27 weeks along! I will never forget it. They were each only about two pounds! I have always wondered how they were doing and if everything turned out okay. Last week she somehow tracked me down and called me. She wanted to give me some baby cloths that she wasn't able to use. So I got to meet up with her and see the twins. One of them just barely got out of the hospital. They are each around 9 pounds now and finally doing well. That was such a rewarding experience for me and I was so grateful for it. I don't usually get to follow up with my patients. She has been through so much with her twins and I look up to her. What an amazing woman!

Weekend at the cabin

For any of you who didn't know I have been traveling from Utah and working in Idaho as a travel nurse. I go once a week and work for about 3 days then come home for a few days. Well, I finally finished my contract there and I won't be working anymore until after we have the baby! So I am free to just relax and wait for her to come. Last weekend was a perfect weekend for that. We went up to a cabin in Island Park with the Mickelsens (Pete & Jolene, Becca & Justin, and Dora & Vance, and all their kids). We had a fun weekend of playing games, playing in the snow, and just relaxing!

4D ultrasound

I have been so horrible at updating our blog lately! So I decided that I am finally going to just get it done. So much has happened since my last update. I was only 6 months along then and now I only have about a month left! I wasn't sure where to start so here are some 4D pictures of our baby girl. We had these pictures done about 5 weeks ago while I was working in Idaho and I thought they turned out so cool. So I was so excited to get home and show Lorin. I went on and on telling him how awesome I thought they were. So maybe I played it up a little too much but when he looked at them he thought they made her look a little freaky. I think he thought they would be a little more clear. He was also afraid that her ear was really going to look like that. Regardless of our different opinions we were both just so happy to know that she was healthy and normal!
