Our Doctor Day

Saturday was our Doctor Day. We started out the morning with Shea's first Dentist appointment. Shea had been looking forward to this day for the past week. She is getting to be such a Big Girl, and it has flown by like that! At first, she didn't want any pictures.

Shea getting her teeth cleaned. You could tell that Shea was very nervous, but she did very good.

She got a pencil, toothbrush, and a ring from the Dentist. Here she is showing off all of her presents and her sparkling clean teeth!

After the Dentist we had to spend 2 hours over in Jackson before my doctors appointment started. We went to he park, and Wayne and Shea went down the Alpine Slide at Snow King.

They had a blast!

At my doctor appointment, we had to wait in the HOT waiting room for 30 minutes. The doctor felt so bad that she decided to give us a free ultrasound. (Because we still weren't for sure what the sex was. ) Well, we know now! It for sure a GIRL. We are very excited that we finally know and can go out and SHOP til we DROP! Well, at least Shea and I will! Here is a very sad picture of me with only 5 more weeks left! YEAH!

After my appointment, it was right back over the pass to Wayne's appointment in Idaho. After 40 minutes there, we were finally done for the day. We had a fun filled day at the doctors. Shea came back with presents, I came back with a picture of the baby, and Wayne came back with a sticker and a lollipop! MEN!

Update

This past month has been really busy for the 3 of us. After the 4th of July, Shea went down to Grandma Zollinger's house for 2 whole weeks. She had so much fun, and came back to us a spoiled little BRAT! ha ha. I am glad to say she is back to normal! ha ha. We also went camping up to Hebgen Lake in Montana for a couple days with my family. We had a lot of fun, but it wasn't long enough. It never is! Wayne's mom is having some health issues and Wayne was able to fly to San Francisco for a week to be with her in the hospital. He is having a hard time, but we are getting through it. She has recently returned to the hospital with an infection from her feeding tube and some leakage in her throat. We are hoping for the best and love her so much! Yesterday, I had another doctors appointment. Two shocking things: 1. I only gained 1 lb. in 2 weeks, and 2. Surprise Ultrasound!! Were we finally going to get closure about the sex of our child?? I am starting to measure big again, so the doctor just wanted to make sure the baby wasn't getting too big. She also said we would make sure it was still a "girl." EXCITING! After she made all the measurements, she went back to check the sex. We saw the little bum cheeks and a foot, right in the way of you know what! This baby is extremely stubborn and wouldn't move that little foot! So I guess, we aren't really suppose to know the sex. Oh well, as long as she is a healthy baby. Everything measured great, and we are doing wonderful. Only 7 more weeks until Shea is a big sister. She can not wait!! (Sorry, no pictures. I have gotten really lazy with the camera.)

Childhood Memories

I was looking through my brother's Facebook pictures and found some pictures of Shea sliding down the stairs. This was taken a while back, but I just started laughing. I remembered how much fun it was when I was younger. I think I had the only mom in the world that would tell her kids to slide down the stairs! ha ha.

It is still so much fun, even if you are only watching!

4th of JULY!

Happy 4th of July!

Stories

Wayne always tells stories about when he was younger. (In the olden days!) Because of this, Shea has started to make up her own stories by saying "When I was young and crazy...." It is pretty darn cute. FYI: I forgot my camera at home so no Father's Day pictures. Will post them next week hopefully.

Picture Overload!

This weekend we heard over the radio that there was a carnival in Idaho Falls. It was all a spur of the moment thing, like always, and Friday we decided to go down and have some needed fun! I can't remember ever going to a carnival when I was younger and I thought Shea would have a blast. Wayne had been to plenty and he was hoping it wasn't a freak show with all the carni workers! That wish didn't come true! I swear I saw the BEARDED LADY! But we had a lot of fun anyway. It was real small so Shea was able to go on every ride she could, and play the games that didn't freak her out. (People wise.)

Oh, did I mention that Wayne had just as much fun riding on all the kid rides! But Shea was able to go on one of the BIG KID rides with dad, and she loved it.

Her favorite ride was the Ferris Wheel. She went on that a couple times.

We also decided to spend the night. (Blow to the budget, but desperately needed!) We stayed at a hotel right by the river in Idaho Falls. The river had geese and ducks everywhere so we decided to feed them. Shea has these odd moments where she will not go anywhere unless she has her sunglasses and neckless on. Crazy Girl. This was one of those moments.

Out of no where a "heard" of baby geese start to swarm them!!

I was nervous but the they sure weren't.

I am glad that we spent a little time away. It was a lot of fun, and I think Shea will remember it. (Oh, yeah. We also went swimming at the hotel. Shea says that was her favorite part.) I also had a doctors appointment Friday morning. Everything is great, feeling good and having no problems so far. Except I am a lot bigger than I should be (baby wise, not fat wise. Which is probably true to) so they are going to see if I grow more by my next appointment. If I do, they will do another ultrasound to make sure the baby isn't getting too big too fast. They think she had a growth spurt though. I am hoping for another ultrasound, just so they can double check the sex! ha ha. I think it is a girl, but the doctor didn't sound too confident in herself! ha ha.

It's been a while since I have found time to post anything. So here goes a quickie! In May, my sister Brooke, came up for a little peace and quiet. Yeah, RIGHT! While she was here we went up to Mesa Falls and did a little hiking.

And Teby got to come along!

When Aunt Brooke left back to Utah she also took my little Shea Shea with her. Shea got to spend about a week at Grandma and Grandpa Zollinger's house. She loved it. When Wayne and I went down to get her, she did not want to leave. Wayne and I aren't exactly sure how she heard of Chuck E. Cheese, but when we drove by one she really wanted to go.

Aunt Brooke and Grandpa Zollinger were also able to go with us.

Daddy and Shea playing a game. Shea was actually really good at it.

After a long exhausting day at Chuck E. Cheese!

We had a lot of fun down in Utah. Too bad it was only for a day. We don't get to many vacations because of work. But we have already set a time in July to go camping. Hopefully everything works out and we are able to go. Those were the two most eventful things that has happened in our life! ha ha. She is growing like a weed, and has an attitude to go along with it. If all goes well, I am going to post a video of her while she is "suppose" to be sleeping. She loves to sing. The other night I woke up to my child in our bed singing "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. I thought she was talking in her sleep. The next morning I asked her about it and she said, "Sometimes I sing to go to sleep. Sorry, I woke you up mom." She is such a smarty pants. Wayne has also got her singing Simon and Garfunkel. She goes around singing, "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes, I would. If I could." She is still really excited to be a big sister, and she still tells EVERYONE. Every morning she wakes up and talks to the baby, even if I am still sleeping. The baby is doing great! She is always moving and kicking me around! Much more active than Shea was. I hope this proves that we are still alive! Not to exciting, but that is our life! ha ha. Oh, yeah! We got new cell phones. (Only because we had to, and they were free. ha ha.)
