Rachel continues to grow and learn. She knows how to answer the question "What does a cow say?" When she runs, it looks a little bit like a gallop, which is incredibly cute and funny. She is getting much better at blowing kisses and it is so fun to watch her do it with her sound affects. Good-by is probably her favorite word, she tells other cars on the street, people we pass in the grocery store aisle, and anyone else we pass anywhere.
Monday 16th - Happy Presidents Day! Since it was a holiday John didn't have to work. We did a little grocery shopping in the morning and stopped to look at a townhouse just for fun. It had little bedrooms but was a lot more expensive. It was fun to look around though. While Rachel and I took naps, John took the Kia to Discount Tire to get the front tire patched and then the tires rotated. That evening for dinner we met Kevin and Kindra at Leatherby's. It was so much fun to talk with them.
Tuesday 17th - I had a doctors appointment in the morning. Rachel was super cute while we were there. After they checked baby boys heartbeat Rachel laid down and pulled her shirt up like me so that they could do her tummy as well. It was so funny, I was laughing so hard. John didn't have to tutor so he came straight home after work. We had a credit from Pizza Hut so we decided to do that for dinner. We apparently didn't order it the right way so we ended up having to pay for it which did not make us happy.
Wednesday 18th - John went on a 6 mile run in the morning before work. I took Rachel to playgroup in the morning and we spent a couple hours there. After we got home it was lunch and nap time for both of us. Once we were up we headed to Michel's so I could pick up a few craft items. John had to tutor that night, and it took him a little while to get home. He was a little frustrated when he got home because one of his students had eaten her dinner in front of him while he was trying to tutor her.
Thursday 19th - John got to work really early at 6:30 so he could leave early to tutor. Rachel and I had a relaxing day at home. We met John that evening at his parents for dinner. Chelsi cooked us a nice dinner and it was fun to chat with everyone. That evening after we got home I took my primary manual to a lady in my ward who agreed to teach my primary class.
Friday 20th - John went into work early again. While he was at work I finished packing up suitcases and putting everything into the car. After John got home a little before 11, we put the last of the stuff into the car and headed out for St. George. We stopped in American Fork at Zupas for some lunch. Rachel slept for about an hour of the trip. We had a nice tail wind most of the way down so we got pretty good gas mileage. That night after we got to St. George I went to a craft class with my mom. It was a lot of fun to work on projects together.
Saturday 21st - Tiffani picked up John at 7:30 to drive to the starting line of the race. My mom and I spent a little time making posters for John. On our way to the finish line we stopped at a couple places to cheer John on as he ran by. John was pacing for the first time and he did a great job coming in a few seconds before his assigned time. After we got back to the house John showered (he smelled a little ;) ). We got Rachel down for a nap after lunch and my mom, John, and I played a game of Qwirkle. At the end of the game John and I left to go on a date. We started with going to Costco for some gas and rolls. While I was filling the car with gas John went inside for the rolls. While I was busy filling the car Ben climbed into the passenger seat of my car without my even knowing that he was at Costco. Once I realized that It was Ben in my car I was laughing pretty hard and so was John once he realized who it was. John said he thought he was walking back towards me, saw someone in the passenger seat, and started looking elsewhere. Then he realized it was Ben and was very confused. After we got gas we headed to the movies. We saw Into the Woods. It had really good music, but I am still undecided on if I liked the story. After the movie we decided to go to dinner at Olive Garden. It was so much fun to go out to eat without Rachel. My awesome family watched her for us while we went on our date. Once we got back to the house John gave Rachel a bath and everyone went to bed.
Sunday 22nd - John and I went to an earlier ward with my dad while my mom watched Rachel for us. As soon as we got back we packed up the car and left a couple minutes after my mom, Gibson, and Sierra left for church. We headed out but had to stop in Cedar City for some lunch. Rachel slept from just before Cedar until Fillmore which was not nearly long enough. We headed straight to the hospital when we got back to the Salt Lake Valley. I hadn't felt baby boy move for over 24 hours so my doctor said I should go to labor and delivery. They hooked my belly up to a heart rate monitor and they found the heartbeat pretty fast. Just to make sure he was really okay they left me hooked up for a little over an hour. They told me I need to drink lots of water and spend more time laying on my left side. When we left the hospital we headed to Tiffani's house for family dinner. After dinner we played a fun game before heading home. Once Rachel was in bed we worked on unpacking and then went to bed early. It had been a long day.
