soaking up some mommy/daughter time

so I am about 29.5 weeks along now and it has been a long, stressful pregnancy.  It has gone quickly up until the past 3 weeks.  I have been admitted into the hospital twice for a couple of days each time for low fluids and they have done all the tests possible and are unsure why my fluids won't go up and stay up.  I can't seem to get above a 6 which btwn 5 and 10 is risky and under 5 is scary.  one time I was at 1.54 and another time I was at 2.6 (the two times I was admitted) and was given IV's each time btwn 3 and 4 bags and I still couldn't get above a 6.  It is quite frustrating.  This last time I was admitted I was put on moderate bed rest and given lung steroids to help Paisley develop and they said her kidneys and other organs look great.  So btwn. the last time I got out and now...we have been diligently getting the house ready for her arrival of which we have been told will more then likely be before 37 weeks and probably by another c-section of which this will be our last little princess and Paisley will complete our beautiful little family aka. Josh and the girls plus Oskar our dog!

So...anyway being on bed rest Adey has been getting some extra special mommy/daughter time and even daddy/daughter time since he took the summer off to work and be with us especially with Paisley coming earlier then planned and me being on bed rest...he is the BEST (they have gone swimming of which daddy is teaching her how to swim, to the zoo and rode the train and carousel, played at the park, snuggled, cooked many yummy meals together, played barbies and so much more).  Today I took Adey outside to play and run and kick her soccer ball around while I sat and took pictures.  I love summer and the beautiful weather it brings especially in Utah and all the outdoor things there are to do.  With Josh registered for fall semester and his grad report saying all requirements are fulfilled we are anticipating a graduation come December (we will learn more in September when he meets with his academic adviser and he applies) and our lease is up in February we have no idea what is in store for our family or where we will be....we want to take advantage if this ends of being our last summer in Utah.  Our Utah bucket list for the next 8 to 9 months is quite full and we are so excited!

So here are few pics of our fun today...p.s. sorry this ended up being a journal entry but in all that is partly what this blog is for!

She is getting so big and full of imagination and laughter.  Her loves right now are for: helping mommy and daddy cook, terrorizing our dog Oskar (he really does love her...every night he snuggles on her bed while she goes to sleep), playing hide and go seek...especially in our bed, playing with her stuff dog Oskar (Nonni let her make at build a bear), princess barbies, her dollhouse, making "pancakes" and "hot dogs" out of play dough, swimming, and pretending to be our kitty.  Her favorite movies are: 101 Dalmatians, Fox and the Hound, Strawberry Shortcake, and Princess and the Frog.  Her favorite color is pink.  Her favorite foods are green beans, white peaches, pears, cheetos, chex cereal, chicken, salad, cheese, and Popsicles.  We just love her to pieces and are quite biased but she is just so beautiful and is gonna be a heart breaker when she is older!
