About Six (or Seven) More Weeks!

April is near its end. May is approaching...Then June is just around the corner!!! We still need a name for baby girl. About two weeks ago she weighed in at 4 lbs. 11 oz. via sonogram. I assume that means she'll be another 10 pounder come time to deliver! Can you tell what is on my mind? Kids last day of school is June 8th! My wonderful mom-in-law and my wonderful mom will both come to help at different times. Thank goodness! Well, in April we enjoyed spring break, General Conference, and having the Ripplingers and Somerhalders visit. We celebrated my birthday and our 12th anniversary! Matt and I (at least I do) feel amazed at how far we've come, with all the challenges of life we've faced together over the years, and how completely different this stage of life is than when we started out together. (Kids, kids, and more kids. With a career anchored in place.) We feel very blessed to have each other. I think it would be so much more difficult, raising a family, if we didn't have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. Anyway, time to finish making dinner!

I cant believe you are so close to your due date! and I can not believe how big your little girl has the chance of being! I had a nightmare mine came out 10 lbs 10 oz and it was aweful! Thankfully I do c-sections!!! I cant wait to hear what you guys come up with to name her! Thats my favorite part!!!

You are right about the difference that time makes in your life---mercifully! If we didn't progress and change it would mean we weren't really living life. The gospel makes this process so much easier---we don't have to go through nearly as many trial-and-error learning experiences!
