32 weeks peeps :)

I can't believe I've been pregnant for 32 weeks. it has gone by so fast! sometimes i get sad because i feel like it's moving so fast, but i really am so grateful with how smoothly my pregnancy has gone. no major problems or set backs (minus being sick for 16 weeks). but i really can't complain. i'm getting to the point of not being uncomfortable at certain parts of the day, and also not sleeping great. but luckily thanks to warm baths and unisome i have that somewhat under control. it still sometimes seems so unreal that in just a few weeks we will have a baby of our very own. it's kind of scary! a lot of responsibility and sleepless nights are headed our way but i know we can do it. here's my belly in all its glory this week.

little dude...you are such a mover! you like to poke your little bum out at us all the time! and you still love jamming your feet up into mommy's right ribs. thanks for that :) you're running out of room i think! but please stay in for at least 4 or 5 more weeks ok? mommy got her baby bag in the mail this week and i love it!

i splurged a little, but i used my christmas money from your great grandparents so it was a good splurge! and it will be worth it cause it will hopefully last us for a few more babies too! we are getting your room (more like your little corner in our room) ready! we have your dresser and your changing pad and we ordered a little set of drawers to put diapers and stuff in so we can stay organized! we are getting so excited to meet you little dude! for some reason especially this week i have been thinking a lot about this scary world we're bringing you into. there is so much evil here and i worry about bringing you into it. it's so important to mommy and daddy to keep our home centered around Christ and the gospel. we will work so hard to keep you grounded and strong in the church because that is most important. please stay close to your Heavenly Father and to us as your parents and you will be just fine. :) mommy's just a worry wart but i'm sure you already know that! you have such an amazing extended family waiting for you baby boy. they all can't wait to meet you! especially your cousin Aiden, who i know you remember because you guys already like to kick each other when i'm holding him. 

keep growing big ok little dude? but not too big, don't hurt mommy! :)

love you forever. xoxo

this past weekend was a long one because bryce and i had monday off for martin luther king jr. day. i love days i have off from work but i especially love when bryce and i both have the day off! saturday night i had a girls night with some of my best friends. i think it's good to spend a night every once in a while with friends and it's even more fun because we craft! this time we made a valentines wreath. it was so fun because they all turned out so different and cute!

let me just say also that our apartment door is the cutest in our whole hallway, mostly because it literally is the only door with something on it. i love being crafty!

so then on monday bryce and i both had the day off but my mom still had to teach piano. so we thought it would be fun to take ian out for the day to get him out of the house and out of his normal routine. with the weather being so yucky and cold we thought the best idea would be a movie. ian loves going to movies. usually i don't do so hot in movies because of my restless legs! they get so bad when i try to sit through a movie! but during the day they aren't as bad so we decided to give it a go. we saw wreck it ralph. it was way cute and ian laughed several times which i love to see. it's almost more entertaining to watch him watch the movie, than to actually watch the movie. i can't even begin to describe how grateful i am for how sweet bryce is to ian. i wouldn't have married him if that hadn't been the case, because ian is so important to me. but he treats him just like a normal human and that's what ian loves the most about him i think. bryce can make ian smile like no one else can! when we got home that night i got emotion (surprise surprise...these stupid horomones!) and just thanked bryce for being so great with ian. he laughed and was like "babe, you don't need to thank me. ian's my brother, it's just how it should be." which of course made me even more emotional. i love my family so much. i love my husband more than anything in this world and i feel so blessed to have him.

i loved spending the day with my two favorite guys! we were sad ash and j couldn't be with us :( next time for sure! well that about does it for this random blog post..but i'm getting better eh? until next time...

love, the vanchiere's
