32 weeks

Well we made it to 32 weeks.  I was released from the high risk doctors and was able to go back to my regular doctor today...when he saw me he was kind of shocked and said wow your still around?  Yep... still hanging on!  And most likely going all the way.  They are taking out my stitch in 3 weeks so we will see what happens after that.  Stay tuned...

We had some great weather this weekend and were able to go to the park.  Here are a few pictures of Devyn and Brant playing.

Jacob came to town a few weeks ago and we were able to see them!  Devyn was SO excited to see her best friend!!  They were so cute together and I miss their friendship so much!!!  Jacob _ come back!!  Please.

Devyn is the biggest girl but the biggest boy at the same time!!  Here she is playing dress up!

And finally posing for the camera!

Quick Update....

Lots going on over here at the Gordon's.  They sold the house we are living in so we are moving in the next 2 weeks, Brant got a new job, and I am still sitting on my butt!!  Had a doctor appointment today and nothing really new with me.  I am 30 weeks and 2 days and the baby weighs 3lbs 12 oz.  At 34 weeks all bed rest restrictions will be lifted so really only 3 1/2 weeks left.  WooHoo!!  Too bad the day I turn 34 weeks is also the last day of school.  I need to just let that one go but I am still having a hard time with it :-(

Here are a few pictures!!  This is Devyn right before we went to school the other day!!

This made me laugh pretty hard!!  I was trying to take a picture of Devyn in front of my parents yard and  Brock heard me say Devyn picture!!  So then he went over and actually posed with her.  I about lost it!!  First one is without him realizing then the second he wanted in!

Happy Birthday Big D!!

Yesterday was Devyn's birthday!! She was in a GREAT mood all day!!  We even started the day with going potty on the potty!!  WooHoo!!  We are getting somewhere!!!  We brought donuts to school and I think she loved being the center of attention.  After school everyone gathered at my parents place.  It was a little chaotic but fun!!  Then we took all the kids to McDonald's where I think Brant and I were the only ones that ate.  Then back to Baba's to open presents and have cake.  Devyn was VERY overwhelmed.  But she had a great time and loves all of her new toys!!  Thank you to Baba and Papa for allowing us to make a mess of their house :-)  Here are some pics!

Here we are at McDonald's for our bday dinner!

Grandma Linda sent Devyn balloons!  They were a big hit!

Kelly got Devyn a doll that is about as big as she is!!  And a tinkerbell dress up costume.  We had to fight with Devyn to not wear it to school this morning!

Brant found Devyn a kids makeup kit.  OMG_ it was a hit!!  Devyn was so into it and then Drew was into it!  Drew was painting Devyn's fingers and nails!

Aunt Kara stopped by and brought Devyn a tangled princess kit!!  Look how pretty Devyn looks!

I HAD to get Devyn a bouncy ball.  No idea why but I thought she would love it.  And I was right!!

And finally blowing out her birthday candles!!

Happy Almost Birthday Devyn!!!

Tomorrow is my little girls birthday!!  Three years ago today my water broke and we headed to the hospital!!  Little D was born at 12:13 am May 3rd.  I can't believe she is 3!  Time is just flying.  It is fun because she finally understands that it is her birthday.  She really wants a Cinderella tshirt so my goal today is to find one.

Not much going on with me.  Still technically on bed rest.  I am able to go on one outing a day so I have been taking full advantage.  It is REALLY nice to get off the couch.

The doctors did say no to work...but then I cried in the office so they said it was okay to go back for a half day here and there.  Which unfortunately isn't going to happen.  After thinking it through it is just too much of a disruption for the kids.  They are finally back into a routine with my sub so I will be going back for the end of year picnic.

Anyway that is our update!!  Here are some pics of Devyn from the weekend!!

We went to the park with Drew, Brock and Reid... It was REALLY windy so we didn't last too long.

Then we played at Baba's house... We found Devyn and the twins getting into a little trouble.  Papa wasn't too happy with them drawing on the house!

We have been having to trick Devyn into taking a nap.  We put her in the car and drive her around and then she falls asleep and everyone is happy.  Well I think she is catching on to us.  This was our attempt yesterday.  It clearly didn't work.

The Easter bunny got us a fish!!  Devyn named it Dory and she loves it.  She sits and just looks at it and talks to her!!

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone!!  We have had a great weekend.  Went to my parents house yesterday to celebrate Easter!  Had an Easter egg hunt and got lots of candy!!

Here is Devyn sitting with Papa!!

We got to make cookies, Easter eggs and deviled eggs.  D loved it :-)

Trying our masterpiece. She didn't like it

On the Easter egg hunt!

Getting our Easter basket

Going fishing for more Easter bunny presents...fishing is a Crawford Easter tradition.  This is the first year the adults didn't get to fish.  I was a little sad :-(

Yesterday morning Brant took Devyn to get a new haircut  She is sporting a very fashionable bob.

This might be a favorite picture!!!  Brant always picks me up after work at my parents house but Devyn wants to be walked home by Baba.  So here is Baba walking Devyn home!!!   For those of you that don't know we live across the street from my parents!

Snow in April?!!

This weather is incredible.  Last weekend it was in the 80s and yesterday we woke up with snow on the ground.  Devyn was super excited to play in it!  Brant took her out for a bit before school.  Here are some pictures.  In the first pic she is making snow angels.

I told Devyn no more cookies and then put the cookies on the top shelf of the pantry so she couldn't reach.  Well that clearly worked...

We have found a way to do makeup that we can both agree on!!

Weekend Pics!!

We had a great weekend with family.  Devyn had a ton of fun and was in a good mood all weekend!  The weather was perfect and I even got to sit outside!!  I got a little fried but hey bed rest isn't so bad when you get to be outside!!  Here are a few pics of D from the weekend.  Yes, I realize she is always in the same outfit!  But this is really the only thing she doesn't fight to dress in!  It could be worse.  When I was little I was always in a red velvet dress with long sleeves :)

Here we are sitting outside.  She was LOVING it.  Walking around my parents house.  When I asked her to take a picture she stopped and posed.  Not real sure why she chose these two poses but still pretty cute! 

And just cheesing out!!!  She is so funny lately.  She calls Brant Brant instead of daddy.  But she has been doing that for a while.  I think it is hysterical he hates it!  This morning she went up to him and said "Brant can I get a dog...PLEASE" then gave him the biggest hug!  Even though it was cute I don't think we will be getting a dog anytime soon!
