Maternity shoot with Pregnancy #2

The Flu

Sienna got the flu a few days ago. She woke up at night, but I couldn't see anything wrong. So I pull the blanket out from under her feet and put it back on her. In the morning I came in and her bed was covered in throw up. I felt awful for not looking closer into it since she was making noises all night. I was thrown up on 6 times in the first few hours and once a little later. One of those times she threw up and then moved to a dry spot on me and passed out. I didn't want to wake her up since she didn't nap, so I sat there as the throw up dried onto me and began to irritate my skin a bit. Not the day after but the day following I started feeling very sick, although thinking back I had a low appetite for several days before that. It is so hard to see your baby sick...if I had been asked when I was younger what I would have done if my baby threw up on me then fell asleep I don't think I would have said I would stay there until she wakes up on her own. I love her so much. I hope Sean doesn't get sick too.

Potty Training

So yesterday Sienna said bathroom, and hit the door. I opened it up and she pointed at her potty and said "poopy" So I took her diaper off and set her down and she peed. It was awesome. I was jumping up and down and I sang her a song and had her call Grandma. Being over-excited, I decided we should potty train. We went to Target right away to buy supplies. 2 1/2 hrs, 5 pairs of wet underwear, and one more successful pee in the potty and I was done for the night. We tried again for another 2 1/2 hours this morning with similar results. 5 pairs of underwear, 2 successful pees, and I am out for the day. This is exhausting. At least she looks adorable running around in her underwear or with a little naked bum.

Sienna's dog has underwear too!

Oh and once she even peed on the couch cover and wiped herself with it. Ewww.

Singing

Sienna sang us the cutest song yesterday. It went, "Happy, Mommy, Daddy" and had an adorable dance interlude. She also sings a very off key my little pony and three words of I love to see the temple, those words are "I temple going" She is also getting really good at kicking her red ball around outside and we think she might have a knack for soccer. We are all sick right now and she is a little ray of sunshine. It is so hard to believe we have the same thing, and she isn't on medicine. I love resting without guilt, it doesn't happen very often. The house is such a mess but I will get to it when I feel better. I have never allowed myself to do that before....I always did stuff, school, work, and housework when I didn't have those too. I was so use to it being unacceptable, but now it isn't now it is the right thing to take care of myself and get better. I am so glad I have a husband who taught me to take a break and get better. This wasn't intended to be literary gold, it isn't edited, but it is a way for me to look back and remember my life. What a beautiful life it is.

Drive In Movie

Sienna and I saw our first ever drive in movie!!! Sean set up the futon in the back of the van and we were nice and cozy. We watched Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters and had a lot of fun. 

While we were having dinner with some new friends Sienna tried to climb the stairs on the outside because we had the gate up. Those gate have caused nothing but problems for her. They make her fall down and try all sorts of unsafe endeavors. 

Sienna made her very first mega blocks creation! I held the bottom for her, but she fit the pieces together all by herself!!! 

Learning Gospel Principles

Sienna just pointed at a picture of the Savior. Sean told her "that's Jesus" and immediately she folded her arms and bowed her head. :) She understands that we say his name at the end of a prayer. We were both very impressed. I love my little girl.

We have decided she might be old enough to understand simple family home evenings.

2 Nephi 25:26 And we ^atalk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we ^bprophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our ^cchildren may know to what source they may look for a ^dremission of their sins.

I have come to have a deep love for my Savior and I hope Sienna will develop this love as well. 

Oh no!
