Lily's blessing

Camille, Zach's sister, blessed their baby at my in-laws house on Sunday after Christmas and that was a lot of fun. We got a few pictures of them.  Zach took most of these and we are still trying to figure out our camera so some of them don't look so nice, lol.  All in time. 

 I love this picture.  I feel like the bond between a mother/daughter is very special. 

Christmas 2013

Wow Christmas is over.  This is sad and happy.  The saddest part is we probably won't be back to AZ for at least another 6 months but that is also kind of a relief.  As fun as it has been to go to AZ trying to split time is much harder that I ever thought it would be.  We try to do the best we can but I think it some ways it would be easier to never come back.  Yes we would miss a lot but the drama of it all is way stressful.
Everyone keeps asking what my due date is.  I'm due January 31st.  I keep telling everyone the end of January because well I don't exactly look small and then they don't usually asked as many questions.  But this Friday I will be 36 weeks.  Traveling 15 hours in a car 35 1/2 weeks pregnant isn't exactly fun but I can admit that I have been blessed to have much easier pregnancies than most so I would much rather travel pregnant!  But here are some fun pictures of Christmas at the Christensen's home.

Thanksgiving

Not sure if I have any pictures from thanksgiving, SAD!  I probably do on my phone so if I get a chance I will add them here.  But for now I will just write a small post about what we did.  We started out the weekend before thanksgiving in Show Low and stayed there from Saturday-Friday morning.  On Sunday night my Mom watched the girls for us and we stayed in a Hotel over night.  Kinda of our little get away before baby #3.  It was a really good thing for us and we play all Monday pretty much.  That night we went and watch the Blue Ridge vs. Show Low football game and that was a lot of fun.  Wednesday afternoon we went and cut Christmas trees down by sunrise ski resort and then Thursday we spent the day with the Fish side of my family.  It was nice getting to know my Grandpa Fish's new wife a little bit more.  Friday morning we headed to Mesa and then went to my Grandma Pearce's house.  My cousin Brian was there with his new baby and it was fun to see them.  It was also nice to see my sister Andrea seeing as she was 39 weeks pregnant and couldn't go anywhere for thanksgiving. 
We spend all day Saturday with Zach's family and got to finally hold Lily.  She is Zach's sister Camille's new little baby girl.  She was born 8 weeks early, I believe, so she was in the hospital for a while.  But she is doing well and just has to be on a heart monitor for at least another month.  On Sunday we went to church with Zach's parents and then stayed with them for a few hours until we went to Natalie's house for dinner.  All my siblings were there and we got to take some fun pictures of all our pregnant bellies.  Of course we took them with my sisters camera though so I don't have them.  My Brother Jason has missed 1 wedding and 3 babies, almost 4 when our little girl comes.  It's crazy how much can happen in 2 years!  He will come home in May.
