I am 34 weeks pregnant!
Pat graduated yesterday and I couldn't be more proud of him and all of his hard work (technically he still has an internship left though)
So now we are just waiting waiting waiting. Waiting to hear back from jobs and waiting to have our baby boy and waiting to find out where we are going to live and what the next stage of our lives will look like.
It is weird not knowing if we will be moving within the near future and where our baby boy will be born, where we will be living etc! It makes it hard to get things "ready" . Or knowing if we will have to pack up and move with me being super pregnant or with a newborn and different things like that.
Isn't life funny how it can be hard to balance being happy where you are and wanting time to speed up to certain things but on the other hand you want it to slow down?! Brylianna can slow down growing and change is hard and I really do love living where we are at, it is beautiful and such a family friendly town. But don't get me wrong I eagerly await the day we will have a dishwasher, washer and dryer and our own little backyard. 😄 Good thing Heavenly Father can see the big picture and knows what is best for our little family. I am just fill of mixed emotions right now.
Pat got released from the Bishopric and we got to sit together as a family in sacrament meeting today for the first time in about a year and a half. (As much as possible with an active toddler that is 🙂)
Brylianna is at such a fun stage. She definitely has her own little personality and wants and preferences now. She loves singing songs, "helping" with dishes, bath time, kitties, horses, being outside, other kids and babies, saying bless you, watching movies, frozen fruit bars, juice, and has discovered candy.
I will ask her "Do you want water or milk?" And she will determidly say "Juice!!" Haha Well that started earlier than I had planned on 😄
She is also starting to get more tantrum-y but I think most the time it is cuz she is frustrated at trying to communicate certain things and feel like her wants are known. She really is pretty good most of the time.
She loves to go outside and then just plop down and sit and then lay on her back the sidewalk for some reason.
She loves noticing and pointing out airplanes. And saying Amen like 5 times during prayers if they are too long.
We are working on learning colors and she calls everything "blue" ( we do have a lot of blue lately getting ready for baby brother)
We feel so so blessed right now and have received so many helpful things from family and friends in preparation for a new baby boy to join our family. My heart is full and I know things will work out perfectly if we trust in the Lord's timing for everything!
What a crazy, fun, exciting, crazy, time of life for our little family right now.

| Pat was so sweet and surprised us to go see a cute animal movie (It was about animals in China. Brylianna did super good but we had to leave like ten minutes early cuz she was getting cranky for nap time. We may never know what happened to the leapards. |

| I've gained 30 pounds I'm measuring a week big this week Having occasional Braxton Hicks Feeling huge My Dr is guessing my next labor will be fast since Brylianna's was fast for a first time baby Still able to workout |
Also we went shooting with some friends the other week. It was kinda a chilly evening and Brylianna was tired but she did pretty good. She was super cuddly and looked so cute in her ear muffs. Her face was like expressionless the first twenty mins and it was cracking me up 😄 But then she was happy and said "boom!" when the guns were shot. Then she just snuggled with me in a blanket and my momma heart loved every minute of it 😍
I shot the shotgun for the first time in like two years and surprised myself and actually got 3 out of 5 so I figured I better stop there lol.
And Brylianna fell asleep on the way home. Sleeping kiddos are just so precious! ❤️
