Almost there!!
To the end of the pregnancy that is.
This month has just been full of restless nights
swollen hands and feet
bloody nose
tiredness
back aches
You know all the great stuff that comes with pregnancy.
For those of you who do not know...
The reason we went to Texas for the summer is
because Casey applied to Dental schools in Texas.
In August we were suppose to hear from the school but didn't.
Casey made phone calls and finally the beginning of the month
he scheduled his interviews.
On the 13th we departed to Texas.
I was called crazy for flying at 8.5 months
And I was called crazy because they thought I drove.
Either was I was crazy.
No matter.
Casey didn't want to leave us at home while he traveled in Texas.
And well I wanted to be with family.
Monday morning Casey had interview with San Antonio.
Sunday night he left for Houston with Austin & Kenneth.
From there he drove to San Antonio.
Friday he had an Interview with Baylor in Dallas.
So after the Interview he drove back to Houston.
Stayed that night.
Took a bus the next morning to Dallas.
My dad and I picked him up
Wednesday my dad took us to visit little miss Kadynn
who was born the day before.
She is so cute and has dark hair.
They were able to see Eliana as well.
She enjoyed being around Madison who was kind enough to share Angry Birds cheez itz with her.
Friday morning Casey left for his interview.
Meanwhile Eliana, my mom, and I went shopping for Eliana's bday party.
Casey just came in time to pick us up and head to the park.
We had a blast.
Before the party we had some family pictures taken as well as pictures of Eliana.
She enjoyed it all.
The food, the cake, the pinata, even the dancing.
Little miss Teagan was dancing as well.
At the end of it all we headed to my parents house.
We were a little sad some of the family missed it
but we hope the ones who were able to make it enjoyed it.
It was short but fun trip.
We left for home, back to Utah, Saturday.
On the 23rd Eliana had her 1 year check up.
Shots again.
Hurts me to see her in pain.
Eliana stopped drinking formula before we left Utah.
I called the Dr office before because she was ready to drink milk.
She weighed 18 lbs and 14 oz.
Height 28.5 in
She speaks a lot says about 10 words already.
She's got a great appetite and loves to eat.
He walks, she talks, she sings, she dances.
What more can she do?
I am just excited to find out what she is going to enjoy.
Ballet? Sports? Gymnastics? Music?
Maybe all.
We'll see for now she is just one wonderful child.
After my Dr. Appointment on the 29th we headed to a pumpkin patch.
It didn't quite go as I thought it would.
Eliana was a little too scared of pumpkins.
Maybe it was their size.
She did walk around and saw some animals.
But that was about it.
Maybe next year.
The next day we picked my mom up from the airport.
Oh how I miss her.
Our relationship was never great until I was married.
By then it was too late.
I no longer have her with me.
I do love to talk with her.
She's is a very busy woman but she calls when she can.
But for now I'm going to enjoy her while she is here.
On halloween we took Eliana to a block with about 12 houses.
It was a gated street so there weren't really cars.
This is the same street we took Christopher (my youngest brother) to trick or treat
When Casey and I were dating.
Eliana had a blast.
The first house had music.
When Eliana stepped on the patio the "Ghost Busters" theme song came on.
The owners were laughing because she stopped to start dancing.
It is a pretty rad song.
After that Eliana to walk the entire time, but it was too long.
Every now and then we'd let her.
By the end she was tired and we were ready to eat her candy.
It was a wonderful month.
