Babysitting!

Josh and Christie had their two year anniversary yesterday. So on Saturday Mackay and I took Mckenzie for about 5 hours so they could get some time alone. We had a wonderful time as can be seen by Mackay's picture below!

Right now Mckenzie is in a stage where all she wants to do is chew on things. So Mackay thought he would join her!

Later Mackay and I ate dinner and then I fed Kenzie her bottle. She was very content after that and just laid on my lap until she fell asleep while Mackay read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to us. It was a very enjoyable evening! The whole time I could not help but think how wonderful it will be when we get to do this all with Henry! Only 9 more days and we will have our little Henry!!!! That is of course if he does not decide to come early...which would be just fine with me!

2 weeks and I'm a momma!!!

Mackay and I went to our doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon. I am at the point that I have to go every week. At our one the week before I was dilated to a 1 and Henry was at a zero station. This means I have started making progress towards labor and that Henry's head is dropped pretty darn low. So this week Dr. Young was not going to check my progress (I think he had forgotten how low Henry was) but I asked him to and he was totally willing. I am not dilated to a 2 and Dr. Young did not say what station Henry was but he was very surprised by how low he was and commented that it must feel like the baby is going to fall out at any moment. :) This was all really good news...but the best news came when Dr. Young offered to schedule an induction a week before my due date, if I make it that long! So of course I took him up on the offer and we have scheduled the induction for two weeks from Wednesday which is the 26th of May!!! So at latest Henry will be making his appearance on May 26th! Now this may sound funny to some but I consider this a Tender Mercy of the Lord! My Sister In-law and her friend both went to Dr. Young and neither of them were induced until a week after their due dates...thus Dr. Young does not offer inductions early. Over the past two weeks I have been really struggling with the hormones and my body is just done being pregnant. The Lord really does watch over us with a keen eye and ear! I love Him so very much!

One Year and counting!

So this last Saturday, May the 1st, Mackay and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary! We had a wonderful time. We got to sleep in (which never happens at our house even though the baby is not here yet.) and lounge around the house just chilling with each other most of the day. We went out to lunch and then did a session at the Temple. It was really wonderful especially since it was probably my last session before the baby comes. We exchanged gifts. Which was really fun because I actually got to surprise Mackay which has not happened since we were dating. Mackay was very thoughtful in the gift he gave me. He got me a potable CD, Radio player with a jack to hook it up to the lap top. This may sound a little boring but when you spend so much time at home alone it is nice to have little distractions. With the jack I can now listen to online music, books, conference talks, and anything else I can find! So he did a fabulous job! He also got me a 3 year (he got a good deal) subscription to Taste of Homes magazine! It is a cooking magazine and I love it. I am very excited to get new recipes every couple of months! We really had a wonderful day and I could not have asked for anything better!

As for the last year...it has been wonderful! Yes there have been ups and downs and turns we were not expecting...but isn't that life? And I could not ask for a better friend and partner to go through it all with! So I say again...As for the last year....it has been wonderful!
