I really shouldnt complain...

So I bought a subscription to fitness magazine when we lived in Driggs (We moved to Moscow September of 2008) I bought 1 year for $4.00.  Today I got my FIRST notice that I need to renew. So yes, I've received 3 full years of fitness magazine for only $4.00....and I'm very sad that it has come to an end. I will miss all the yummy food ideas and tips on staying fit.

Sydney (2 WEEKS)

I am so lucky to have a ward with LOTS of amazing photographers, I had Jenny take these and she did an AMAZING job, I loved all of them I had a hard time picking which ones to share. Thanks Jenny, I LOVE them!

The Fair!

So this is Kloee last year....

and this was her THIS year!

I'm glad we had a chance to take her she LOVED the pigs....

and cried when we left this one in particular, she also enjoyed the goats, ducks, chickens, and bunnies and I enjoyed all the FOOD, so yummy! It was nice to get out and walk around for a little bit.

Learning to be a big sister!

So my poor Sydney was hungry so she started to cry....

then along came big sister Kloee,

to the rescue she climbed up to reach the pacifier,

she never got it in but was sure sweet to her until I made it over to Sydney.

After days of showing VERY little interest in her little sister she now has the bug, she loves to try and comfort her

it doesn't always help but at least she's trying!

Home and Happy!

We got home yesterday afternoon and I am SO HAPPY to be here it is so comfortable compared to the hospital. Having Sydney is such a joy and I already can't remember life with out her.  It certainly isn't the easiest juggling both babies but it feels so rewarding, I'm seriously on cloud nine right now.  Here are a few more pictures I've been in such awe the last couple days we really don't have many but that will change soon!

First Bath!

Kloee starting to notice she has a little sister

Too many cameras to look at....I look a little silly but it was cute of the girls...

....on our way home

Sydney Kaye Allen

Sydney was born at 4:35pm, not 5:35pm like I originally said.  She is 8lbs 3oz and 20 inches long.  She did come v-bac which we are both excited about.  The funny thing is that Sydney's head was bigger then Kloee's yet she didn't get stuck like Kloee.  They had to use the vacuum to help encourage but it was successful.  Anyways, she is finally here, healthy, and eating like a good girl should.

Could it really be??????

Well, it looks like the day has finally come and I must admit, not to bad of a time.  Was able to wake up when I wanted, didn't have to miss any classes, and even got a little homework started.  But this isn't about me.

We came in at about 10:00am this morning and Tessa was dilated to a 4 and at 90 efface.  Tessa has gotten her epidural, has a smile on her face, and the contractions are continuing.  Now, we wait.

Baby Update!

No REAL exciting news, I really wish....I think I'm in it for the long haul with this baby as well she is not coming until she is good and ready. At my last Dr. appointment I was dilated to a two and I'm now 80% effaced, she did strip my membranes which caused A LOT of REALLY STRONG contractions but by the morning they tapered off again, if only huh? Anyways, I do continue to have contractions just not steady ones. We are still walking a lot and trying to keep me active as much as possible (although my back is screaming at me to stop, last night I had what felt like a nerve pinched or something and I couldn't walk, my legs kept buckling from underneath me, Im doing better today). Hopefully, we have a new baby to show off soon!

So I started reading this book right before I went away for the summer so sadly I had to turn it back into the library before I was done.....but I watched the movie this last week (wow it was long, it took a whole week) and I've decided I need to finish the book. I'm going to barrow it from my parents so I don't have to be rushed this time. Anyway, has anyone else finished it? Did you like it? Or should I just settle for watching the movie?
