It's time to let the cat out of the bag.
WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!!
Some of you probably wondered...others may have guessed.
My due date is October 19th. We are so excited! (although not quite sure how to be parents of two?!?)
Shawn is so sure it's a girl. My mom is too. Me? I don't know what to think! I'd be happy with either. Just a healthy baby for me!
Oh and if I could not be sick anymore that would be great too. This pregnancy has been tons worse than Carter's in that respect. Oh well. I'll survive. :) I've made it this far.
So. Now you know.
Wahoo baby #2!

This Weekend
This weekend was pretty great! For so many reasons...
My cousin Jalynn got married on Friday. So Thursday Carter and I drove to Pocatello. Carter slept the whole way...it was incredible! Anyway. That night we spent time with family, and I helped with a few final wedding preparations. I tied the ribbons for the center pieces, and helped with one of her bridal photos.
Friday we drove to Idaho Falls. It was fun being back there. I can't believe it's been almost 6 years since I lived there for the summer. Carter and I stopped by Great Harvest for lunch before the ceremony. He got butter everywhere! But it was cute to see him eating that big piece of bread. We rushed to the Visitors Center, and I dropped Carter off with my cousins who were unable to attend the temple. I was a little late, but I guess that's why they tell you to get there 30 minutes early--so you're always on time for the actual ceremony!
The marriage was beautiful. One of my favorites. It was very spiritual, and emotional, and educational. This wedding truly was a miracle. Jalynn and Brent have dated on/off for over 8 years! They'd been engaged previously but called it off. For some reason the timing wasn't right, but it was right this time. Everything just clicked, and I couldn't be more happy for them! (I just realized I didn't take any pictures of them...whoops!)
We headed over to the wedding luncheon and Carter had so much fun playing with all the kids. Brent has 9 siblings, and 38 nieces and nephews! There were kids everywhere! Then we headed back to Pocatello, Carter napped in the car, and continued to nap when I transferred him to bed (Hooray!) I fell asleep too, so we were late to the reception, especially after we grabbed dinner at Jack in the Box. Carter got his "chickenwithfries" and I got the cheesy potato wedges.
The reception was beautiful, and they had a great ice cream sundae bar with tons of toppings. We got to visit with more family, and Carter had fun dancing to the music. They did a cute program at the end celebrating my Aunt and Uncle's 40th Wedding Anniversary. Then Jalynn and Brent spoke and Brent sang her a song. It was super sweet. I stayed for a bit to help clean up, but then it was off to bed for Carter.
Saturday I planned to watch conference, check out of our hotel, get lunch, visit with family for a bit, and then drive home during the afternoon session during Carter's nap. It did not work out that way! My sister invited us to my cousins for crepes, so we loaded up and checked out and listened to the first session there. Carter was having fun playing, and I was having fun visiting, so we stayed through the second session too! Then my cousin asked if we needed to drive home, or if we could stay, and invited us to spend the night at her house. I had packed extra clothes (you never know with a toddler), so we decided to stay another night! We all went over to my aunt's house to celebrate their anniversary. I had so much fun just talking and hanging out with family. Later we put the kids to bed, and stayed up late talking. It was so refreshing. Sunday we watched conference, ate lunch, and I drove home. Carter slept a good chunk of the way. I listened to conference while I drove. It was such a great weekend!
I didn't get as much out of conference as I usually do. There were kids everywhere, and people talking here and there. I only remember bits and pieces. But I still feel so whole. Like somehow being with those people, and the conversations I had were just what I needed! I feel encouraged and strengthened in so many ways.
It was a great weekend, and I'm looking forward to this week! Carly and Cheryl are in town, and then I head to San Diego on Friday. It should be good!!
