Yowzas! Of course I know that every pregnancy can be different, but I didn't realize
how different they can be! My first trimester with Jenna was a day at the beach compared to this little sucker. I hope that's not an indication of the baby's temperament... Probably not.
Well, I have
finally entered that blissful time we like to call Second Trimester! *
Cue Hallelujah Chorus*
Now I'm getting back to a normal routine, and looking forward to feeling the baby soon and finding out the gender! Woohoo!
I thought I'd give a quick recap of what we've been doing for the past month or so:
SUPER BOWL:
Since Paul's company does the Colt's Stadium, he got to fly to Indianapolis for the week to help out with Super Bowl! Pretty cool, huh? They worked him pretty hard right up until the game, but then he got to enjoy himself. He took a few pictures with his phone:

| The confetti right after the Giants won! |
Jenna and I went to a Super Bowl party at a friend's house. I made some red and blue snacks for the Giants, but then I realized those are the Patriot's colors as well. Oh well, Go Giants!
ST. PATTY'S DAY:
I couldn't bear the thought of making green food this year, but we had a fun Primary Activity in the morning:
 |
| What a cute Leprechaun! Oops, I put her mustache on upside-down. |
And that afternoon we went to the...
CIRCUS:
This was Jenna's and her friend Huck's faces for the entire pre-show clown act:
I was really surprised when the dancers called all the kids up to learn a routine that she actually went! I was not surprised that she just stood there and watched, though. She's becoming more like us: so shy!
It was Paul's first circus, and it didn't disappoint! His favorite part was when they shot a man out of a giant crossbow, and right before shooting him lit him on FIRE! A pleasant surprise! Jenna and my favorite part was the elephants. Before the show we got to see one up close, and she got so excited every time they came out!
CONFERENCE WEEKEND:
We drove down to South Carolina again for General Conference Weekend. It's just so much fun to spend it with family, even if it is harder to get Jenna to pay attention when there are so many people (and dogs) to play with!
And a new paint set:
We celebrated a few birthdays:
Checked the new beehives for honey (
a new favorite for Jenna):
Helped prune the grape vines:

| Can you tell it was a pajama kind of weekend? :) |
And got a new pet caterpillar:
We even brought him home with us!
p.s. Eric Carle totally lied to us: he is NOT a hungry caterpillar, and will NOT eat anything...
We also played some frisbee golf and I tried my very first egg salad sandwich! Not bad.
Jenna slept in the room her three little cousins stayed in last month when they visited. We didn't realize that they had installed a child-proof handle on the inside. When Paul woke up the first morning, he could hear her in there talking to herself, and when he opened the door she said "
Daddy! I was so stuck!". So funny, and so cute!
One evening Jenna stayed with her two aunts while the rest of us went to see the Hunger Games. When we got back, she had fallen asleep and was NOT happy to be woken up and put in her car seat! Let's just say I'm pretty sure she scared her aunts and uncles into waiting a couple more years to have kids! :)
