January

We thought we'd introduce Everett to potty training by having him go before baths and after...he didn't really buy into it, but Variah loved it!

Our beautiful Variah

This boy loves taking books out of the basket and reading through them while we drive or while we wait for Variah at preschool.

A cute note from Variah..."I love you mom from Variah". And a picture of the two of us

Ahh foot massages...well squeezes

Their favorite uncle

For Variah's half birthday I made cupcakes that looked like ice cream cones

Her half birthday present from Mrs. Jean

Playing and building with the tracks he got for Christmas

The many silly faces of Everett...

He is the best at making random faces at random times

My little snowman building buddies

This was some HEAVY snow...I was out of breathe after building it

She loves having snowmen in our backyard and treats them like her boyfriends

Playing hide and go seek...unfortunately there aren't very many hiding spots

Everett LOVES this construction book from Carsten. It is a daily read, multiple times each day too!

My neighbor Jeff texted to see if Variah wanted to come play outside. He knew Daniel was out of town and that I would probably love to have a break. So nice of him!

I won these onesies through an instagram giveaway. 

Variah's second talk on the Premortal life. She always does such a great job on her talks. Practically memorizing them!

Variah and Everett decorated for Valentines' Day

This boy loves playing in the fake sand

My personal stylist. Whenever I get out of the shower he comes running to blow dry my hair. If I don't let him he cries and gets so sad. 

I love watching these 3 play together!

Julia and I went to get pedicures so my feet would be looking good and ready for baby Nevaya!

He cracks me up!

I don't even know what he was doing in this picture, but seriously he keeps us laughing all. the. time!

Daniel was really hungry for salad I guess

Just being silly

I went in for a regular doctors appointment and Dr Twelves noticed that I wasn't growing at the rate that I had been. The heartbeat was strong, but she was concerned about my lack of growth. So I had to have an ultrasound and a Non Stress Test. Thankfully Nevaya was growing like normal, but unfortunately the amniotic fluid levels were low. They were a 5.8 and at a 4 they worry and induce labor. So after my non stress test I was scheduled to go back on Monday for another ultrasound and NST to make sure everything was okay.

On January 30th, I had to hang out for a long time for the NST because Nevaya fell asleep and her heartbeat slowed down. They gave me food to eat and lots of sugar to get her moving. The amniotic fluids were pretty much the same, so Dr. Twelves decided she wanted me to do bi weekly visits until I delivered.
