A lot has been going on. First, Kimmie & I went to Utah for 4 days last week. It was great seeing the family & friends, but we both got sick while we were there:( No fun! We kept busy the short time we were there & had a great time. For some reason I didn't take many pictures so be sure to look at Nicky, Tina or Felicia's blog in case they post some. The 20th was my 27th birthday & the day we flew home. It was a long day & I was exhausted when we finally arrived home. We ordered Chinese and had a relaxing night. Seth of course spoiled me with all the things I wanted & I also got some other great gifts (Thanks everyone!) Saturday morning Seth made me breakfast in bed. It was delicious! Today Cyndy & I took Kimmie to Chuck E Cheese. At first she was only interested in eating pizza, but she eventually warmed up to it. She wanted nothing to do with riding the rides, but she loved the games. She especially loved ski ball, although it was kind of dangerous because she would just throw the ball anywhere! Yesterday was also Kimmie's 18 month old check-up (this is my chance to brag). She weighs 27 lbs 7 oz & is 32 7/8 inches. She is still in the 90th percentile for everything, but her weight to height is proportional. Now, here comes the bragging. I know my daughter is smart, of course she is:) But, they had us fill out a questionnaire and Kimmie does everything an 18 month old should do, AND MORE!! I recently wrote down all the words she says so I could put it in my journal. The doctor was amazed when she found out Kimmie can say 53 words!! And she even says two/three word sentences, like "Dadda, where go?" or "I stuck". She also signs dadda, more, work & milk. This morning when she got up she looked at me and signed, "Dadda, work?". The doctor said she is developmentally the age of a 2 year old, not bad for a preemie:) I am super proud of her, she is so smart! She also recently started counting to 3. It is super cute, she goes one, two, three! Then looks at you waiting for praise. She amazes me each and every day, we are so lucky! Ok, I think my bragging is over. Here are a bunch of pictures, enjoy!

A few months ago Seth's aunt helped me make some nursing covers. (I gave them away to my pregnant friends) She is an amazing seamstress and is going to teach me how to make them all by myself:) I will be making some for myself before our baby is born and a couple extra to keep on hand as shower gifts. I am very proud of how they turned out, so here are some pictures.
It was very good & Kimmie really enjoyed it.
Kimmie has also gotten into the spirit of March Madness & filled out her own bracket.....

I think she has a future as a secretary!

Today is Seth's dads birthday (Kimmie calls him Papa). We just wanted to wish him a very Happy Birthday & tell him how much we love and appreciate him. He is so wonderful with Kimmie, she loves him SO much! She always runs to the door when he gets home from work & loves to play with his eyebrows:) We hope you have a wonderful day & a great year! Love you!
Last night me, Seth, Cyndy & Kevin (Seth's dad) went to see Wicked. Cyndy gave us the tickets for my birthday. THANKS!! It was so much fun. We went to Outback for dinner (we haven't eaten there in so long since I don't get 50% off anymore!). Dinner was good, I ate way too much like usual. Then it was off to the play. I only knew a little about the plot and had never heard the music before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I LOVED it! The Wicked Witch was my favorite, she had an amazing voice!!! I would definitely recommend everyone go see it. It has a fun story line and some funny parts. Overall, I will definitely see it again!
