Rachel continues to grow and learn. She is getting very strong willed, so it is often a battle of wills. She can now do what does the sheep say and when asked what the kitty says she says "kitty" which is always really funny. She loves playing with her doll and she spends lots of time rocking them and pushing them around. At bed time she always wants 3 of them in bed with her.
Tuesday 14th - Rachel woke up and started calling for John, so we FaceTimed for a couple of minutes so she could see him. Then Rachel and I went to my doctor's appointment, where everything was good and I got to hear babies heartbeat. We then stopped by Walmart on our way home for our weekly grocery shopping. John was able to come home straight from work so he could watch Rachel while I went to the movies with my friends Becca. We went to see The Longest Ride and I really liked it, and John is still mocking it (even though he didn't see it). John was able to tutor while I was gone.
Wednesday 15th - It was snowing all day so Rachel and I spent the day playing and cuddling inside. After John got off work his department went to a dinner where he ate yummy food and got to paint a painting on a canvas. He didn't get home until almost 8:00. After we got Rachel to bed we watched Survivor and CSI Cyber.
Thursday 16th - Rachel and I went to Joann's in the morning for some fabric I needed so I could start cutting things out. When we got home I put Rachel's gloves on to make sure she would stay nice and warm and then I let her play outside in the snow for a little bit. At first she wasn't sure what she thought but in the end she loved it and was sad to go inside. I spent some time working on cutting out fabric while Rachel played and then while she was taking a nap I took a quick power nap and kept working. For dinner I had planned to make baked potatoes but as I was pulling them out of the oven I realized they were squishy and bad. While I was pulling on of them out it slipped through the bars on the rack and exploded all over the oven and me (it was hot). Since it was already 6:00 and I didn't have anything fast to make we decided to go out for dinner. We ended up at Red Robin which was delicious once they finally seated us but I had to go back up and ask and they had accidentally crossed our name off the list, as if we already had a table even though we didn't. After we got home John gave Rachel a bath and once she was asleep we headed to bed as well.
Friday 17th - In the morning Rachel and I took my sewing machine in to get fixed. They told me it will take about 2 weeks which is a long time for what I was hoping would just be a tune-up. After we got home Rachel played while I got some more fabric cut out. We ate lunch and then went visiting teaching. As soon as we got home I put Rachel down for her nap so I could get some more work done. I only worked for a couple minutes and then I hit a wall, so I ended up taking a little nap as well. John tutored after work and he stopped at his parents on the way home. While we ate dinner we watched The Amazing Race.
Saturday 18th - After we all woke up John went running, 10 miles. Once he was back and ready for the day we headed out on lots of errands. Our first stop was Kid-to-Kid to sell some stuff we won't need again. We then headed to a sewing store where I got a NEW sewing machine. We were able to get $80 for my old machine, and then we got the new machine half off. In the end, it was a great deal! I am still so excited for it and I can't wait to use it for the first time. Next we stopped at a DI to drop off the stuff that Kid-to-Kid didn't want. We then headed for Joann's so I could get a little more of a fabric I had run out of and some boning for nursing covers. Our last couple stops were at Walmart and Costco. At Costco we saw our friends Becca and Joe and invited them over for games that night. We had fun walking around trying all the different samples. After we got home, had nap time, and ate dinner our friends came over. It was a lot of fun and we played a couple games of Dominion.
Sunday 19th - We had a relaxing morning, John worked on preparing his lesson for Elder's Quorum. Since Rachel still had a low-grade fever, runny nose, and a cough I stayed home from church with her. We both took a nice nap while John was gone and I worked on setting up my new sewing machine. Our friends Kevin and Kindra came over for dinner and games which was a lot of fun.
