Update on Pregnancy
So I just had another ob appointment yesterday (26.5 weeks). I'm happy to report that all is going well with our little girl. Her heartbeat is strong (155)and she's still measuring big as well as sitting low. Was so excited when my doctor came in and told me that I didn't have to take the glucose screening. Where I didn't have issues last time and according to my weight and history with this pregnancy they aren't worried. I felt pretty spoiled not having to do it. I do need to increase my iron intake and start doing some pilates or yoga for the remainder of the pregnancy to help with leg cramps and pelvic pressure. Thinking of doing the prenatal yoga class on campus that's on tues. and thurs. but we'll see. Can't believe that after my next appointment that I'll be down to bi-weekly appointments. This pregnancy for the most part has gone by so fast! I'll post a 27 week pregnancy photo tomorrow.

Turning 2
I can't believe it but my little girl is 2, how did the time get away so quickly. Josh had to go to class so Ashlyn and I started out the day by me making her breakfast and getting things cleaned up so that we could play when daddy came home. After Josh got home we went and picked up her cake and got her McDonald's for lunch. She loved the pony in her happy meal and of course the french fries. After lunch we decided to open her presents and have cake before Josh had to go back to class. We almost didn't get a nap in because she loved her presents so much that she just played and played. After a nap we got ready to pick up daddy from class and then went out to Grandma & Grandpa Harmon's house. She enjoyed playing with her aunts and uncles and being sang to. We were unable to see my parents due to them not being home but she'll see them on Sunday. After a day full of fun and play she definitely clonked out. It was a great day and I'm so happy that she had so much fun. I can't imagine life without her, we are truly blessed to have her in our family. We Love you Ashlyn!
January 2011
So January has come and gone and it's time to see what we've been up to.
Josh started his internship with Eastern Idaho Public Health. He is also taking classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.We have been very grateful that he didn't have to go to Oregon and that he could take classes. His last semester will only consist of 3classes and then it's off to graduation July 28th. We are so excited to be done with this part of schooling. He has been busy putting in applications for jobs lately and has been able to go fishing a time or two with his home teaching companion.
I've simply been just working, playing and teaching Ashlyn, and trying to survive through this pregnancy. It's been fun to feel this little girl move a lot more. I've been able to go down to only going to the chiropractor once a week. I have had to go to the doctor more this month but at least we are getting things taken care of and hopefully the antibiotics they gave me will help calm things down.
Ashlyn had her 2 year check-up at the end of the month. She is now 33 inches (2 ft 9in) and finally up to 25 lbs. I was so proud of her for not crying during her shot or blood work. We really debated having her lead screen done because it's an actual veniupuncture, but in the end we did it and she didn't even cry. I think it definitely helped that the phlembotimist talked to her the whole time and she was kind of fascinated watching it. She fussed a little afterwards but it was because she had a bandaid on and wanted it off. As soon as it came off she was as happy as could be. She's definetly loving life and so full of energy. Her talking is starting to come more but she's still stubborn and will only say something if she wants to. Two of her favorite things to do right now are skyping with her cousin, Ellie, and talking on the phone. She also loves her baby dolls-she feeds them, burps them, tries to put diapers on, and even will pat their backs and tell them that it's okay. It's so cute. Hopefully she'll want to be this loving to her little sister. Well to close this post I'll post a picture of Ashlyn. She saw me with the camera and started saying "cheese" so I couldn't resist taking pictures.
