Monday 22nd - Monday morning we finished packing up our suitcases and getting ready for our trip. We left for my doctors appointment but when we got there found out we were there an hour early. We let Rachel play in the children's play area and she was perfectly happy. During my appointment the doctor found out the gender of our baby. He wrote it down and put it in an envelope along with the ultrasound pictures. After my appointment was over we headed back to our apartment and John packed up the car. It was a pretty uneventful drive and we managed to make it the whole way without stopping. After we got to St. George we enjoyed some dinner and Rachel enjoyed playing with everyone.
Tuesday 23rd - In the morning John went running. My mom and I spent most the of the day running last minutes errands. We picked out the boy outfit and the girl outfit and had customer service open the envelope and put the outfit in the box while my mom and I looked around the store. It was so hard knowing that other people knew and I didn't.
Wednesday 24th - We had a fun day getting ready for Christmas. Everyone ran their last minute errands. In the evening we went to the temple to see the lights and the Nativity. After we got back we read the Nativity Story in the scriptures. We opened our pajamas and headed to bed.
Thursday 25th - Merry Christmas! The morning started nice and early with everyone opening their gifts from Santa. We took a break from gifts and made a delicious brunch. After we had all gotten our fill of the food we opened all our presents from each other. It was a lot of fun to see everyone's excitement. Rachel had a hard time opening all her presents because she just wanted us to open each one as she unwrapped it and set it up for her. John and my dad spent a little bit setting up her new trampoline. One of her favorite presents was a new baby doll. John got a pair of bluetooth headphones. I got a fantastic pregnancy pillow that I wanted with my first pregnancy. In the afternoon we got a Skype call from Quinn. Once he called we called my grandma and Terry & Gloria via FaceTime so that everyone could see John and I open the box with the baby's gender. We found out that we are going to have a cute little BOY! That evening we watched Monument Men.
Friday 26th - In the morning my mom and I went to the store and I got a Christmas tree while John and Gibson went to cardio tennis. In the afternoon my mom and John went to help my dad set up his office and I worked on sewing. Friday night we went out to Hurricane to see the Christmas Village that one of John's friends has collected over the years, and then we watched Guardians of the Galaxy.
Saturday 27th - John and my mom went running in the morning and then John and I went to tennis. After we got back I spent most of the day sewing a carseat cover. I took a fun break and went to Kid-to-Kid with my mom and Rachel. I picked up a couple of little boy things. For dinner we went to Brick Oven and met my mom's aunt and uncle and all of their kids and grandkids for dinner.
Sunday 28th - Rachel was not feeling very well so after Sacrament meeting so I brought her home. I tried to put her down for a nap but she just played in the room for an hour until I got her up. After we had dinner John put Rachel down for a nap. My mom, Sierra, and I took naps at the same time, it was so nice. That night we watched The MazeRunner.
