Trudy and Willy Farr

Trudy was one of my best friends back in high school. And I am so glad we haven't lost contact more than a few years at a time. She is spunky and full of life, and she has been an inspiration and a strength to me. I am so excited she has found Willy who love her and her two little girls. I really do wish her the best of happiness!! I got to go and sit in the back with my feet up. I'm glad I got the oppertunity.

Progress

Karla's Garden

Can you tell it is growing?

Our Potatoes.

My new hair cut.

We take it easy most of the time. And Todd gets out to the garden as often as possible. Dot wanted another pictures of my hair--with it down. This isn't a great one, but here is the one I have. I appreciate all the prayers. I think it won't be long.

4 weeks and counting

Here I am--I have finally gotten big! Up until this last appointment, I had gained a total of 12 lbs. I gained 6 lbs in the last week!! The baby is finally getting big. The last ultrasound guesses her weight at 5 lbs 4oz. While I was out for my massage on Saturday, I had my hair cut too. I wanted something low maintance for now--that is managable even though I am laying down, but nice and low maintance for after the baby is born too. So here is my bob with layers--although the layers are pulled out of my face here. Todd took this picture without any prompting. He is learning.

That's what sisters are for...

I have to thank all those who have helped. Todd has been wonderful getting up early and doing dishes, making our lunches, and getting us ready for the day--then coming home and helping the kids, fetching me things, and making dinner. My mom has helped keep my house clean and us fed. I put her in bed 28 years ago--and she is a great support to me. I came here to take care of her, and now she's taking care of me. And then there are the wonderful sisters of my ward with my friend, BobbieJo. They have helped with dinners and childcare. Things are going well because of your love and support. Thank you!! And I can't stop without thanking all those who are praying for us. It makes a difference, thank you.
The baby is looking good--5 lb 4 oz supposedly. We are getting anxious to have her here with us!! Karla rubbed my tummy the other day. She then looked at me and said "I think the baby is big enough. Time to take her out, I think." The girls have been so good, considering. I am so proud of them. Yesterday we hid their ponys in my covers and under my pillows and played hide 'n' seek that way.

Potty Training

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Kylee is doing great at potty training. She started Wednesday of last week--before the blood pressure spike. Her first day, she didn't have an accident until 1, Thursday she made it until 3, and Friday was a no accident day. She got a my little pony from Grandma for that one. She has done really well!! And I am tickled pink. Especially because now, there isn't much more I can do than remind her to go. She even wanted to wear panties to bed last night--and woke up dry. So I may have two or three weeks without diapers. Kylee we are so proud of you!!
