The Sorensons: ...so many things...

Apparently quite a bit has happened in the last couple of weeks! For some of those things, I don't have pictures...sorry! I'm not even sure where to start! We had a Sorenson family reunion a couple of weekends ago. We went to a park near Cherry Hill and pretty much just got to relax for a couple of days. It was really nice to see so many people from Matthew's family. Matthew and I forgot to take a 30 week "belly picture" but I think Matthew's mom has one from the family reunion that she is going to send me, so I will try to add it after I get it. I will for sure at least put it in the baby book!

Something a little out of the ordinary happened last week...

What is that...you ask?

BEES!!!

We got home from work one day and our neighbor told us that their grandkids found a swarm of bees in our maple tree. It was so crazy! I know Matthew got a video of them, but I couldn't find it. I swear there must have been thousands of bees, though! It was so crazy!

When I got home for lunch the next day, the bees were gone!

I really don't understand what happened, or why they were there, but it was one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

Next - update on the babies! They were a huge hit at the family reunion! I went in at 30 weeks for an ultrasound. Matthew actually got to come with me. Usually I sit for 10 minutes tops in the waiting room and then 10 minutes tops in the examination room. When we do the ultrasound usually we get to see some really cute hands and feet and faces. This time...the only time Matthew was able to come with me...we sat in the waiting room for a really long time. We sat in the examination room for even longer. We had an ultrasound and although seeing their heartbeats was really cool, we didn't even get to see hands or feet or faces or anything. I was so disappointed that Matthew didn't get to see all those fun things. And I felt bad because what normally takes 30 minutes took an hour and a half and Matthew was waiting to get back to work. It was a little sad. But the babies are looking really healthy and I am also doing pretty good. My blood pressure has been really good, so that's a plus!

I feel so great! I love feeling the babies move. It is starting to get a lot easier for Matthew to see them moving, which I love! I had a baby shower with Matthew's family last weekend and after everyone left, just his mom and dad and sisters (and me and Matthew) were just sitting there talking. One of the babies starting doing some kind of acrobatics and everyone in the room got to see her (or them, maybe) moving. It was pretty awesome!

They got pretty spoiled at the baby shower, too. They got a TON of clothes!! They are going to be some of the best dressed babies around!

I have another ultrasound with my doctor in Sanpete on Thursday and then I have another one up north on Monday. I'm really excited to see how they are doing and how much they weigh now!

I am also pretty excited about this sheet that I made for one of my cribs! It should have been such an easy project...but there was a lot of drama. I just kept making such stupid mistakes!!! It was so frustrating. I first cut the pattern out wrong, so maybe I should have stopped there, but I didn't. I just kept doing stupid little things. But it turned out alright! And the next one will be so much better!

Oddly enough I am actually excited to try to make another one. I think it will go much smoother...more smoothly? I don't know. Hopefully it goes better!

Lastly, I wanted to show off one of the things that Matthew has worked so hard on this summer!

I know I posted the planter boxes that he made, so I figured I would show off some of the plants we've got growing! We've got corn, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, peas, beans, potatoes, squash, cantaloupe, gourds, pumpkins...I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting...
