What's Almost as Cool as Being Here for Teddy's Birth?

Hearing Em's special birthing mix I've spent the last few months compiling for her (press "play" on the right).  This time she's planning on DANCING baby out!

* Special note to Em: I forbid you to listen to this mix before birthing day.
* Special note to Erin: Yes, I stole a lot of your songs.

Plus way less graphic.

I'm Published

Sort of. I wrote a small article about children and dance for my sister-in-law's online magazine, The Provo/Orem Word. You can check it out below if you wanna.

(don't you want to have this much fun dancing with your kids?)

Thanks Gramma Bonnie!

Pictures for Asher and Frankie (and Jensie, too!)

I liked the pictures you took for me, and I like taking pictures for you, too. Maybe because we're all so cute.
Love, Penny

Poor Second Children

They get so overlooked, don't they? I mean, Penny got a whole blog named after her when I found out I was expecting, and Teddy's only been mentioned like twice. So here's what I know about Teddy.

-He's 32.5 weeks cooked, which means he'll be here shortly. Wow.
-He sits lower in my belly than Penny did, but also bruises my ribs (I think literally), so he might be big.  Or at least long.
-Penny knows who he is and already hugs, kisses, and shares with him.

-He's gonna be cute. Seth had a dream he looked just like Penny but with a rounder face and more boyish. Seth sometimes has prophetic dreams. Here are Penny's, then Teddy's, ultrasound profiles to compare. What do you think? Doppelgangers?

Teddy

Too hard to tell? Well, you'll just have to wait and see then.

-We love him already.

The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

At least, apparently, when it comes to little girl kitchen sets.

Pretty Far In There . . .

Flashback Friday

Why do I feel like I've never been this happy, ever?  Let alone on an airplane.

Being young is underrated.
