We welcomed our Baby Boy on June 9th, 2013. He weighed in at 7lbs 4oz and 19 in long. I am trying to become adjusted to being a mother of 2. It is definitely something new but I love it everyday!

I have a blog. Remember that? It's not that I don't want to blog but once you miss a few days, a few days turns into weeks and time starts flying by. Let's be honest. I've been spending every waking minute with my little girl and also making a baby. It's exhausting now that I am in my third trimester. I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and will then start going to my doctor for weekly visits. WOW! I am ready to be done with this pregnancy but am not sure if I am ready for a baby to come. Here are some things I have been up to lately:<br />
<br />
1. Turning 34 weeks. (Last week, I will be 35 weeks tomorrow). My belly feels so stretched at this point and I have been experiencing some Braxton Hicks, not terrible though. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. Attending Mia's first ever dance competition. Her team took 1st in her category. (There were 8 in her category) I was definitely a happy momma watching her dance. Her face was lit up and she was having the time of her life. <br />

<em>Dear Netherlands</em>, I miss you. I miss your pretty streets. I miss the water, canals, and boats. I miss the buildings and cute gables at the top. I miss the wooden shoes. I miss you and it's only been a month. I need to snap out of it. <em>Dear Wedding, </em>You are consuming my thoughts every second I just want it to turn out good. I think I need to start sharing my plans as it goes. <em>Dear Blog, </em>I have been neglecting you and I am ashamed. I think I miss the Netherlands too much and I think I want my wedding to be perfect beyond reason so I naturally put you on the back burner. I promise I'll change. <br />

I go again in two weeks and after that every week. Oh my gosh where is the time flying??? I feel like my belly is growing and growing and growing so I pulled up some pictures of when I was pregnant with Mia to compare. Here is a Then and Now:<br />
<br />

I hate taking pictures when I am pregnant but they sure are nice to look back on, especially when I want to compare me to myself. I also have been doing some baby boy shopping. I might have gone a little crazy buying some clothes lately but who can resist when they are so dang cute? Also, my mom finished making a car themed minky quilt for baby boy. She is quite amazing and I am so in love with how it turned out. Baby boy is going to love it.<br />

<br />
Things are starting to happen and quickly. Baby boys room is going to be a vintage cowboy and indian theme with a quilt my mom made (not quite finished yet), the colors are minty turquoise and red. I originally picked out the fabric 7 years ago before I was even married. I just loved it that much. My mom bought it to keep in stock for when I did have a baby boy. Now 7 years later and I still love it but we are having a hard time finding fabric to match to make a crib skirt and bumper pads. Well after we spent the entire day today searching for fabric to make a crib skirt we finally found the right fabric to match. Hallelujah!! Because baby boy will be here before we know it. I am getting more and more excited for him to get here and can't wait to shower him with love, hugs and lots of kisses.<br />

We wanted so badly to see the tulip fields in full bloom, but it was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
just too cold for the tulips when we were there. When in bloom you can </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
drive through almost a 20 mile stretch of tulip fields. I can only </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
imagine how beautiful and amazing that would be. Luckily we were able </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to settle for a few beautiful Crocus fields.</div>

I started working on it immediately and then it came to a halt. When I would get a chance to work on the wreath it would be about 9pm and by that time I was completely exhausted from the day and just wanted to relax and hang out with my hubby. Yesterday Mia took an unexpected nap so I had about an hour and a half to finish up the wreath. So glad I did because I still had my St. Patrick's day wreath hanging up (oops). I used mustard color yarn, a few cream felt flowers I had lying around, turquoise felt, and some patterned felt I found at Hobby Lobby. I had not seen patterned felt before and as soon as I saw it I just HAD to buy some. <br />

It feels so much better to have this wreath hanging up and now I can leave it on the door any time of the year. Now I just need to put my Easter decorations away and put some Spring decorations up....just maybe. <br />

1. Today I am officially 31 weeks and beginning my 8th month of pregnancy. Baby boy is all over the place and literally never stops moving. It is starting to get harder to bend over and my energy level is not quite what it was a few weeks ago. Oh and my happy moment of the day was when I found out that I only gained 1lb within this last month. Yay, because getting on the scale at my dr's appointments are my least favorite part. </div>

2. Finally went and got my hair done today. It had been far too long and I was really in need of a cut+color. I have the best hairstylist in the world who also happens to be one of my BFF's since 7th grade. Still went with the ombre but just lightened up my ends a little more. This is definitely the longest my hair has EVER been.<br />

3. Over the weekend I bought two double strollers and I am so excited for hubby to put them together and start using them. Mostly excited for my new jogging stroller so that I can get back into running. I haven't been able to run for the last 3 weeks because it hurts to bad and the elliptical is starting to get a little boring but I know it is all for a good reason! :)</div>

There is less waiting for holds at the library and more reading to be done! I can read in the car even when it is dark or late at night in my bed. Lately I have been hooked on the <a href="http://www.beccafitzpatrick.com/#!hushhushsaga/cjg9">Hush, Hush</a> series by Becca Fitzpatrick. It is about a young girl who falls in love with a fallen angel. I love it because it is an entire new set of characters than what I am used to and it is different from anything I have read lately, no silly love triangle either! I am currently on the fourth and final book of the series. Let's just say I haven't been able to put these books down and I got my aunt hooked on them as well. If you are looking for a new series I highly recommend this one.<br />

Kinderdijk is gorgeous. There are 19 windmills and almost all<br />
of them are still lived in and being used. It's definitely windy there..<br />
obviously why they built windmills there. It is a definite stop when <br />
you are in Amsterdam. <br />

Lately I just have not had the energy to blog. Mia doesn't let me get on the computer so if I blog it is only for a few seconds because she is climbing all over me. Toddler climbing on me + growing baby bump = no blogging for me. Here are a few tidbits I have been up to lately:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Growing baby bump. I am now 30 weeks. Yay! Only 8-10 weeks left of this until we get to meet our baby boy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

2. T-Mobile finally got the iphone so on Friday me and my Hubby went and bought ourselves one. Feels so good to finally jump on the bandwagon. Can I just say it was love at first tap of the button??? Any suggestions on apps that I must have would be fantastic.</div>

3. Going to go look at double strollers this weekend. I really need/want a double jogging stroller. Do any of you have double strollers? Will I need both a regular double stroller and a jogging stroller? What do you suggest? Brand favorites?<br />

5. Been working on a spring wreath for about 2 weeks now. Where has all my energy gone?<br />
<br />
I promise I will get better at blogging. Maybe even post a recipe in a day or so? Ha, we'll see about that.<br />

I'm getting married!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like I've told the proposal story at least 87 already, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but I'm willing to make it 88 for all you readers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll warn you though, it's long... so prepare now... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So It all started Thursday night when I was at school that night when I got a text from my man chris breezy (family joke). continuing. It read "So I sent you a late birthday present in the mail a few days ago, but change of plans I want to be there when you open it." If you think my face went bright red and that I had a grin on from ear to ear you'd be right. I was completely freaking out mixed with a little nervousness. I knew this meant it (the proposal) would happen this weekend, how and when was a little foggy at this point still. continuing. The family was all gone Thursday night so I knew it wouldn't be then so as we played ping pong that night I was without worry. At the end of the night we made plans for dinner the next night (friday) at six. He seemed pretty casual as to the plans so I wasn't reading into it much, although I figured he wouldn't do it saturday then fly out sunday morning because that would just be lame. continuing. Friday came and I was getting caught up on homework when the mail came. I went out to the mailbox to find the package Chris Breezy had told me about. Now you must know Chris Breezy obviously lives out of state so when we talked about getting married officially and picking out a ring I would always joke that I didn't want there to be a crowd, I didn't want it to be on temple square, and that he could just send it in the mail so he wouldn't have to be inconvenienced with a proposal. Obviously I was joking about the mail thing. But when I saw the package I began to think Chris Breezy was craycray. You don't send a ring in the mail. Or do you? Let me just say I got that package and inside I could feel something that was most definitely in the shape of a ring box. I freaked, texted him, and said can I just open it. He responded with "up to you.... but you should probably just wait till dinner." The kid knows me like a book and knows I love to open present and packages, so he had to be thinking I'd open it. Which made for a good enough reason for me to not open it and wait. continuing. He came and picked me up and told me we were going to city creek. We drove by the conference center and parked on the back side of it. which I thought was weird but whatevs. So as we walked along the east side of the conference center he told me he wanted to go this way which was walking on the conference grounds. UM hello chris breezy did you not here me tell you I didn't want watchers for this big moment. I was smiling through my agony and he could feel it. So we walked up the stairs to the roof of the conference center and he told me to open the package. I started and opened it up to see a ring box and I kind of gave him a laugh that was a bit like a laugh you do just in case this is real and you need to be happy but it also gets the point across you aren't happy about this as well. He could read all the emotions I was having and just kept watching me with a grin. Low and behold inside the box was a GIFTCARD to the cheesecake factory. Funny Chris. real funny. But really it was quite relieving. We went to dinner, not at cheesecake cause it was packed, but nonetheless we had dinner and I completely forgot the whole idea of him proposing tonight until he said as we walked out from dinner that we had one more place to go. Obviously I knew at this point it was coming. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We got in the car and started driving up to the avenues where we went to city creek canyon and looked out over the city where we had no one to watch us! We had a good chat which after he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, oh how I love that kid. Now here we are. I'm engaged! The countdown begins and now the blog will get an overload of wedding updates, plans, breakdowns and more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
andddd did I mention another countdown begins... it's the one where I move to Wisconsin with Chris Breezy....AHH! </div>

You know, the kind of panic you can feel where you are so sick to your stomach that you think you might vomit, are shaking like crazy, heart is pumping out of your chest and tears are filling up your eyes. <br />
<br />
So far today was fairly normal. I went to the gym, cleaned the house and then hopped in the shower. I always take my wedding ring off after I shower and set it on the counter so that I don't get lotion all in it. I almost always put it on right after lathering up. Today I forgot to put it right back on and continued on about my day. I made lunch and then Mia and I headed to Wally world to do some grocery shopping. <br />
<br />
While at the store my hand felt a little naked. I looked down at my ring finger and sure enough I had forgotten to put my ring back on. When I got home from the store I put the groceries away, threw in a load of laundry and watched Mia while she played outside. After seeing about 3 tiny little ants she freaked out and wanted to come inside. That is when I remembered I still needed to put my ring back on. So I went into my bathroom and it wasn't there on the counter.<strong><em> AHHHHH. Sheer Panic</em></strong>. I started looking everywhere in my bathroom, in the laundry, retracing my steps. I knew that I didn't move it anywhere so then my next awful thought was maybe Mia took it and if so it would probably never be found again. Yikes. I called my hubby and he said he would come home soon to help me look. <br />
<br />
I kept thinking how awful this was. I am in love with my wedding ring. Still to this day I stare at it and all of it's beauty. It is not only beautiful but it means so much to me. It stands for the vow that I made to my husband more than 5 years ago to always be faithful and love him for all eternity. I decided to say a little prayer, and then another one. I kept looking and started literally scouring the carpets on my hands and knees when all of a sudden I saw something shiny on the floor of my closet. Hallelujah. It found it!!! Oh, such a miracle. <em>Let's just say my wedding ring won't be coming off of my finger any time soon- I never want to go through that again. </em><br />

I am dreaming of spring. Wishing I could wear my comfy maternity capris today but not able to or else I might freeze. Running errands without a jacket on and freezing my butt off. No jackets to fit this (almost) 29 week belly- bummer. Because Nicole is in the Netherlands looking at Spring Tulips and all I want is SPRING.... looking at this picture of my sweet Mia will have to do today. <br />

Today I am 28 weeks along. Last week marked my first week of my LAST trimester. (woot) Sometimes it feels as if this pregnancy is just flying by and some nights I am uncomfortable and more than ready to be done! Baby boy is SO active and is moving all of the time, especially at night or early in the morning. He seems to have a particular fondness for kicking me in the ribs and really taking me by surprise. My belly just keeps growing like crazy so I finally decided to get myself some cute maternity capris. Up until now I have been wearing leggings/jeggings which are still great but at the end of the day the band starts to hurt my belly. I guess I have been in slight denial that I would need maternity clothes but <em>oh man</em> they are so much more comfortable! Thanks to Ross for having the best priced maternity clothes that are also so cute. I scored this chambray striped maternity top that I just love! </div>

<a href="http://www.evasbakeryslc.com/">eva's </a>bakery is the cutest little bakery in town. The bright blue is captivating as you drive along main street. The inside is just as fresh looking as the outside. As soon as I walked in I knew I wanted to buy anything and everything they had and I hadn't even look at any pastries yet. Well I wasn't the least bit surprised when I saw the pastries and couldn't decide on just one to order, not to mention we wanted the fresh bread we saw in baskets on the wall. It all looked so perfect. Dinning in looked amaze, but we were in a rush so we finally decided on two pastries and some sourdough bread. I went for the Coconut macaroon and mother went with the blueberry danish. They were to die for. That coconut was perfection. As we were paying pastries were still in sight and we both kept saying "ohh that looks good, next time." I cannot wait to go back and give the rest a try. We've also been using the bread to bake open face toasted sandwiches with smoked turkey, cheese and avocados. Delish, that bread is just right. <br />

After the lesson we made healthy smoothies. I searched online and found this delicious <a href="http://www.babble.com/best-recipes/healthy-eating/healthy-smoothie-recipe-kids-food-brain/berry-cado-smoothie/">Berry-Cado Smoothie</a>. All of the 8 year old girls said they did not like avocados but I told them to keep an open mind. Turns out they absolutely loved the smoothie, and so did I! What a clever way to add protein and all the other health benefits of an avocado into your everyday diet. Adding the avocado is not only healthy but it makes the texture of the smoothie extra creamy instead of having to add yogurt- making it vegan. Since then I have made the smoothie a few times and even tried it out on my hubby who <strong><u>hates</u></strong> avocado <em>(gasp). </em>He loved the smoothie too. I decided to play around with the recipe and came up with this slightly different variation that I happen to love and am actually sipping on right now as I type. Yum. <br />

<strong>Dear Amsterdam</strong>, I'll be coming at ya in April. I'm so excited to be able to see the tulip fields right in their prime blooming season. If any of you friends have good advice on visiting Amsterdam let me know! <strong>Dear March Madness</strong>, you are taking over my life. I stare at my bracket just about every 8.7 seconds, and then text my brother about the wins and losses all day long. It is a sick addiction right now in my life. <strong>Dear Warm Weather</strong>, where ever did you go? It was sun bathing weather a week ago and now look what you've you done. You've given us snow. <strong>Dear Birthday</strong>, I can't wait to be 21 so I can do lots of crazy things.... oh wait just kidding. I actually just can't wait to open presents and begin my birthday week celebration, which will consist of lunch at caffe molise and a stop at Eva's bakery. Blog posts on those stops will be coming. <br />

About a week or so ago I blogged about how strong I was at resisting the urge to buy Girl Scout cookies. Well, that didn't last long. At a family get together last week I found out that my cousins cute little girl is now a girl scout and was selling cookies. How could I not support her?? So I bought two boxes. You would be proud to know that I didn't eat them all in one night and there is still more than half of each box left! Today I was in the mood to do some baking and decided to try something new so I decided to attempt to make a Thin Mint Mini Cupcake. I crushed up what was left of my Thin Mint cookies and threw them into my favorite chocolate batter, topped it with mint buttercream and dipped them in Chocolate Ganache. Delish, going to take some to my mom later today and I know she is just going to love them. <br />

<br />
In a large bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on medium high for
approximately 30 seconds. Add 1/2 C sugar and vanilla. Beat until combined,
scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well
after each yolk. Alternately add flour mixture and water to shortening mixture.
Beat on low speed just until combined.<br />
<br />
In a large bowl beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips
curl). Gradually add 1/3 C sugar and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form
(tips stand straight). Fold 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into chocolate batter.
Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites until combined. Fold in chocolate
chips. Divide batter into mini cupcake liners.<br />
<br />
Bake for 10 minutes, rotating tins halfway through. Remove from tins and let
cool completely on wire racks.<br />
