Baby Update

Today I had an ultrasound and confirmed what Trevor and I were suspecting: the fact the miss Olivia is breech. Luckily I still have 4 more weeks till my due date. However, we are planning to do an external cephalic version on July 31st in case she hasn't turned by then. This entails my doctor giving me some terbutaline (to relax my uterus) and some fentanyl (to help it feel better) and trying to push on my belly to rotate our baby into a vertex position. We are really hoping that she will turn because I am not wanting all my subsequent deliveries to be c-section. In the meanwhile, I am trying some other methods I have read about that are supposed to motivate her to turn. We'll see how it goes. Wish us luck!!

Remember Us?

Well, I keep hearing people tell me that occasionally they look at my blog and nothing has been done on it for quite some time. It's not that we haven't had things going on, when don't you have things going on when you have three kids, but I just haven't had the motivation to use my "free" time updating my blog. Since I have last posted the twins turned 1!! It was a fun birthday that we shared with Grandma Smith and Grammy (Trevor's grandma). The girls performed as expected with their cupcakes (unlike Tori who just cried and would not touch it). They were a mess and adorable. I am going to post a bunch of random pictures with this entry because if I were to write about each picture you might end up reading a small novel, and the pictures are too cute not to share, at least I think so.

The next big thing for our family was a trip to Utah. It was a long two day drive, but worth it. We are so lucky to have great friends in Denver who allowed us to stay with them, and even made dinner for us! Thanks Spendloves! In Utah we had lots of fun with family even though we really didn't do that much. It is just nice to talk face to face and play games and such. Unfortunately, Erin (my sister-in-law), broke her leg while we were out. I didn't get to spend as much time with her as I would have liked and this also limited our activities. My other sister-in-law, Katie and I however, got to spend lots of quality time together taking care a many small children. Katie is amazing and made dinner and lunch every day. It was a crazy time, but I am glad that Katie and I got to enjoy(?) it together. I love to see family!! It was just too short.

While I was in Morgan helping run Kobe daycare, Trevor took Tori down to Orem to visit his family for a couple of days until I could join him. Trevor was able to take Tori to the open house for the Oquirrh (sp?) Temple. I wish I could've been there because Tori loves temples. I am sure that they had a great time. Tori had a great time with all her cousins. We were also in town for Cameron's birthday party. He is a cute little guy and it was fun to watch him devour his cake. That little man can really eat!!

Now we are back in St. Louis and have recently moved. We love love love our new place. Carpet is a wonderful thing. I also love my kitchen that is not a hall way. I will post pictures of our place later. We love living close to people. Tori is close to her little friend and they have already gotten together a few times. They are very cute together. We also got Tori a bike and she has lots of parking lot to ride in. She has gotten pretty good and loves to go out any minute she can.

Sorry for the long post and all the pictures. I will try and stay more up to date so that I don't have to write so much next time. I will probably write more as we get closer to the arrival of Olivia. Only 4 more weeks to go!! CRAZY!! I can't believe that we will have four. Fun times!
