Steven and I are getting very anxious and excited for our little guy to get here! We have about 2 1/2 weeks left and finally we got our crib. Now he can come and we will be ready. Steven was so cute putting it together and it really was so fun to actually be putting a crib together for our baby!
I am feeling pretty good. I am dilated to a 1 1/2 and I am 50% effaced so we are making some progress!! I have another appointment Monday and hopefully I will be even farther along.

This isn't the best picture of the crib but it will do for now. We still aren't sure on a name but hopefully when we see him we will know what his name will be!

Steven and I are so proud of ourselves that our garden is actually growing! I was a little worried nothing would even come up but it is doing better then we expected! I just hope we actually get something from them. Pregnancy is going great! I am feeling really good, just hot. This baby is very healthy and is growing right on track. We still have about two months left and I am starting to get nervous as I think about what I will have to do again. It is definitely worth it but hard work! We still haven't come up with a name for this Boy. Steven still calls him Gus so until we come up with something we will call him Gus. (Don't worry that won't be his name!) I really feel akward when taking pregnancy pictures so I haven't put any on here yet but here I am in all my glory! My brother Craig comes home from his mission this Thursday and I am so excited to see him!!! Other then us waiting for our garden to grow, this baby to grow and Craig to come home we aren't doing anything too exciting!

We need your help...

Hey all,

My my brother-in-law, Craig Reynolds, is coming home from his mission soon. We are trying to compile a bunch of CDs for him of songs that have come out over the last two years. We have a pretty long list so far but we want more. If anyone can think of other good ones please leave a comment. Also, if you have any of these songs, I would love it if you emailed it to me @ stevenandkami@gmail.com so that we don't have to buy it. Thanks y'all!

"It all works out"

"It all works out, don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in him, if we will pray to him, if we will live worthy of his blessings, he will hear our prayers."

- Gordon B. Hinckley-

I know that there are some people who found our blog during the pregnancy and birth of our daughter, Aubrey. Alot of you are having similar trials to us. I have been thinking and I just want to say to all of you, things will work out. Kami and I went through hell after Aubrey died. It was the hardest thing ever. It wasn't really hard at the hospital or even right after. It got hard when everyone went back to their normal lives and we were expected to do the same. We wondered how life can go on when ours had just ended?!

If you are going through hard times, I'm sure you feel the same thing. A year, two months, and fourteen days later I can finally say that it will be ok... all will work out. Don't get me wrong, we still cry for Aubrey some nights. We still feel a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel for those of you going through your hard times.

If I can be so bold as to give advice... (of course I can though... this is my blog, right! :) ... my advice would be to let yourself be sad. In the scriptures, it says that Jesus wept when his friend died. All too often, people think that crying over trials shows a lack of faith... that's a load. Let yourself be sad, but then realize that in Christ, there is hope and there is a future.

Aubrey is in a wonderful place and in the best hands that we could ask for. Thank you all for your support over this last year-ish. It would have been so much harder without you. Please remember the quote at the top of this page. "It will all work out," we just need to be patient and sometimes go through hell first! Best of luck to all!

Wii Sports!!!!

Madison (Kami's sister) bought a Wii. She brought it to our house and we hooked it up to a projector and had a ball! Some got more animated than others when playing :) As you can see. I have awesome In-laws.

This has been a very busy month for Steven and I. First off we celebrated Aubrey's one year birthday on March 7. I was afraid it would be a tough day for us but it turned out to be a good day. We drove to Mesa and spent time in the Temple and then went to her grave. We were able to spend time with both the Reynolds and the Palmers. We really just enjoyed remembering her and thinking about what she is doing now! We sure love that girl and think about her every day! We are better people because of her.

Steven and I then celebrated our birthday on March 19! (yes we share a birthday, how crazy is that) The problem is that we both want breakfast in bed but neither of us want to get it because it is both our big days. We ended up not eating a great breakfast but we went out to eat which was fun!! I really do love sharing my special day with my Love! He is the best and I am so glad I found him!!!

Lastly we went for our big sonogram on March 23 and our sweet baby is HEALTHY!!! We are so happy and relieved to know that everything is ok!!!! That was one of the most stressful days of our lives and we are glad to know things are good!!! We are very excited to have a little BOY coming to our home and blessing us with his sweet spirit! We feel so blessed to be able to get pregnant and to help in the great plan to bring these children to earth to gain bodies! We know that our little Aubrey is in Heaven right now with the other kids especially this boy telling them all kinds of stories! We hope that all of our kids feel the love that we have for each of them individually. We are excited to have this cute boy in our arms in 5 short months!!!!!

Update

Thank you all for your input on the names. It looks like Lufanda and Max are unanimous. Ok, just Max. Lufanda is still under discussion. Kami is doing well. We had our second appointment and everything is going well. It is so awesome to hear that everything is going well! On March 23th, we get to find out what we are having. We can't wait.

Also, I am sorry if your names aren't on the side of our blog. We didn't delete any on purpose. When I switched backgrounds, some of you got deleted. It's not personal. I'm trying to put them all back on. :) If you don't mind, please leave a comment if you are not on there. I am having a hard time remembering everyone. Especially Kami's friends. Thanks y'all.

Details...

Sorry about the missing detail on the last post. I forget how much women love details. We have been incredibly busy over the last little while. Kami has been sick (not just pregnancy sick, but a bad cold also), and I have been busy with basketball.

But on to the things you guys want to hear... Kami is 13 weeks along. She has been such a trooper this pregnancy. It has been a whole different ride than las time. Last time we were just enjoying the ride during this point in the pregnancy. Until we found out about Aubrey's condition, that is. This time, we are so afraid that something is going to go wrong. We sure appreciate things more this time.

We went to our first appointment and found out that everything looks good! With Aubrey, she measured too small and that is how they found out that something was wrong. This time, our baby measured just right! Our due date is August 18th. We got to hear the heartbeat as well. That is probabl the coolest thing ever!

Thank you all for being such friends to us and being so excited for us about the things that we get excited about. We are truly blessed to have great friends and family!

Yes, it's true!

Aubrey is going to have a sibling!

It snowed!!!! I can't believe it we went out to eat and then came out and it was snowing! It snowed for quite a while and in the morning we had some that even stuck to the ground. Of course as soon as the sun came out it melted but it was cool to see! We definetley are not used to this snow and the freezing weather! Merry Christmas!!!!!!




I love Christmas! I am so grateful that my family was able to come down and be with us! We have a tradition on Christmas eve that we make ginger bread houses. We love competing to see who can make the best! Of course Steven and I won!!! Ok, maybe we all did great! Christmas was great for us this year. We were able to talk with both brothers on missions! They are doing great and we are looking forward to Craig coming home in 6 months! We hope each of you had a great Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year!!
