Getting Ready for Change

 
I am positive that I can't be the only one in this family who has things to post about so the rest of you need to get to work!!! This is not the Ross Family Blog. ;)
 
We are still working on finishing this room as a bedroom for Ellie. We want her to be able to move into her new room as early as possible so that that is one less change for her to have to adapt to when the baby comes. We are still in the mudding and sanding process but hope to finish that soon and move on to painting!
 
 
Ellie is growing up so fast! She had her 15 month check up last week and he said she looks great! She weighs about 22 lbs and is about 31 inches long. She had to get 3 shots which is never fun but the nurse gave her her first sucker ever and she enjoyed that. I am glad she chose a clear/white flavor of dum dum because Ellie was oozing sucker slime everywhere!

 
At the doctor's appointment he asked if Ellie could eat with a spoon and fork, messy, but that she knew to bring it to her mouth. I said yes but decided that that is something we better practice more so I let her adventure into trying to eat cereal by herself. It was an amusing experience. It sure would be nice though if she could feed herself well by the time her sister arrives!
 
 
Last week we also had Jordan's work party. Ellie had fun swinging before we ate. She loves play time with dad! I got to meet a few people that he works with and that is good because they offered him a job for after his internship!!! Yay! They told him to just tell them when he wants to work and how much which is really nice since he will be starting school at U of U on August 26th. He is going to be one busy man and I'm pretty sure life is going to just keep getting crazier.

 
I am 30 weeks along which means only 10 weeks to go! Can't believe how fast time flies. I'm sure the baby will be here before we know it! We still haven't decided on a name yet... maybe we will just have to wait until she comes out. Pictured below I am wearing one of Great Grandma Ellie's dresses. I got lots of compliments on it. :)

 
When the baby starts to move a lot is probably my favorite thing about pregnancy. It makes the whole thing more real. And I love when she moves enough that Jordan can feel her. Those are happy parenting moments! Yesterday she was acting like I was a bounce house and I got it on video. Hopefully you can tell the diffence between me breathing and her leaping around!
 
 
 
It was a blast having the Findley's visit and hope to see them again soon. Congrats on getting to teach seminary again Ruby! Good luck to Bryce on his trial work and interview. We are excited to see what the near future holds for the Green Family! Congrats again on your baby news! Good luck to Charley and Ashley as school starts up again. Love you all!
