Christmas in Utah-2012

We drove to Utah again for Christmas this year.  That drive is torture when you aren't 5 months pregnant, but boy is it awful when you ARE pregnant and the DVD player won't work AND your son is car sick the whole time!  Poor Jackson threw up all over himself and had several accidents on the way there.  Luckily I caught his puke in a bag on the way home and the accidents were minimal.  Once we got to Utah he had a cold and double ear infection the whole time.  BUT, he (and we) still had a fabulous time!

Morgan was SO excited for snow.  There was a little bit when we got there.  But then it didn't snow again until the day before we were supposed to leave.  And it snowed A LOT.  Luckily we got to stay one more day :)

Morgan and Carson did there best with the snow they had and made a little snowman.

We visited Temple Square (where Clint and I got married) and it was beautiful!

Miserable little Jackson on daddy's shoulders.

The kids in front of the reflection pool.

One of the most beautiful places on Earth.  You can't deny it!

On Christmas Eve, before we left for our Webb celebration, the kids got to open gifts from their Nana.

New PJ's and books!

Great Grandma Webb reading Silent Night.

Jackson is the BEST gift opener ever.  He gets so extremely excited about each gift and plays with each one for as long as we'll let him.  He'd be fine with getting one cool toy and playing with it for the whole year.

Morgan's "secret diary".  She refuses to let anyone look inside of it LOL.

Clint gave his cousin a military compass and map of the surrounding area.  He wants to be a Navy Seal, so Clint was teaching him about Land Navigation :)

Big Papa always gives the best speeches and brings tears to my eyes every year.  This year was especially special because Clint was there and so was his cousin Macey, who was diagnosed with brain cancer over a year ago.  It was so neat to have everyone all together again.

Big Papa loves to tease the kids.  "Has anyone seen Morgan, I guess she doesn't want any presents!"

Christmas morning is always a blast.

Checking out Jackson's new remote control Jeep

Clint's gift to his family.  He flew this flag on all of his missions in Afghanistan.

Papa opening "the big one" (the gift that we all pitched in on).

The gun and holster go perfect with his chaps jammies!

Christmas at my mom's house.  Morgan would never take this horse necklace off if I didn't make her.

Battle of the boy toys!

Morgan's 5-year Photo Shoot December 2012

There's nothing more surreal (if that's the right word) than looking back at pictures of your child and seeing the incredible changes from birth to present.  And then realizing how beautiful children really truly are.  When I look at these pictures of Morgan I feel like I'm seeing her through Heavenly Father's eyes.  She looks like an angel.  So perfect and flawless.  I'm so thankful for my friend Caitlin who took these pictures.

This one below is my favorite.  It perfectly captures her natural smile.

28 Weeks

My midwife told me at my last appointment that I (the baby) would be going through another growth spurt soon. I think it happened the next day. I've (he's) grown a lot in the last 10 days! I'm still feeling a lot of contractions. Especially after going for a walk. The baby moves so much that he's woken Clint up during the night.
Morgan tells me she's excited now and she likes to talk to the baby. She's always rubbing my belly an asking if he's moving. Unfortunately she hasn't felt him move yet.
Jackson thinks the baby is going to come out playing football with him. So he's really excited lol.
We still have no clue what to name him. Nothing stands out to us. 12 more weeks to go!

27ish Weeks

I am somewhere in between 26 and 27 weeks now. I've lost count through the holidays. I'm feeling gigantic but according to my midwife I'm measuring right where I should be.
We can see the baby move from the outside now, which is always fun. I've been having a lot of back, hip, knee, and ligament pain. But other than that things are going well. I have contractions several times a day which is not something I experienced with the first two. At least not this early. Hopefully that means my body is ready and things will go smoothly :)
We still don't have a name. Any suggestions? Morgan has come up with lots, Flynn Rider, Texas, President Holland, all of which have been dismissed LOL. My top picks are Tucker, Cooper, Pearson, and Logan. Clint's only opinion is Clint Junior (I'm hoping he's not serious!).
