May 11th - May 17th

Rachel had her doctors appointment this week.  She weighs 25.9 lb. which is 48th percentile, she is 35.5 inches tall which is 90th percentile, and her head is 19.5 inches which is 75th percentile. Her head is finally fitting her body but she is still really tall which is why people always think she is so much older then she is.  She continues to call John "dadjohn" and we can't figure out how to get her to stop.  She had discovered that she loves coloring and she does it on and off all day. The trick now is to figure out how to get her to keep it on paper. 

Monday 11th - I spent the morning sewing squares for baby boy's quilt together.  At nap time Rachel and I both took a little nap which was nice, I have been getting so tired later.  After John got home and we had some dinner we met up with our friends Becca and Joe and went on a long (for me) walk.  We walked to the Arctic Circle and back and while we were there we let Rachel have some fun playing on the play set.  

Tuesday 12th - Rachel had her 2 year old check up in the morning.  She was super good for the doctor and didn't cry when he did his examination.  He was very impressed and said that most 2 year olds freak out.  When we were finished at the doctor we headed to Walmart to do some much needed grocery shopping.  After we got home we had some lunch and then Rachel got to play for a little while.  We both took a nice nap in the afternoon.  When John got home we had some dinner and then had fun spending time as a family.  

Wednesday 13th - After a very long night with Rachel. John went for a morning run. He went 6 miles.  Rachel got up early before 6:30.  I spent the morning finishing sewing all the squares for the quilt together and Rachel had fun playing.  Right before lunch I took Rachel over to a lady in the ward's house who had agreed to watch Rachel while I went to my doctors appointment. I ended up being at the doctor a long time because they were worried that he had turned so they wanted to do an ultrasound.  They were correct, baby boy is now breech and we are just praying he will flip back over.  After I picked up Rachel we headed home so she could take a much needed nap.  She slept for quite a while but as soon as she got up we headed out so that I could run to Joann's for some quilt binding and some batting.  On the way home we stopped at my aunt Jodi's house so I could drop off a couple things to her.  When we got home I started dinner cooking and John got home from tutoring just in time to eat and for us to watch Survivor. After we got Rachel to bed we watched a couple episodes of CSI: Cyber we had stored up.

Thursday 14th - Rachel and I went over to Terry and Gloria's house in the morning and Gloria helped me tie the quilt (she did most of it since I was much slower then her). After we got home and had some lunch and then we both took naps because Rachel was very cranky.  When John got home we ate dinner and then headed out on some errands.  We went to BuyBuy Baby first and got a few things for baby boy.  Our next stop was Target so I could try to exchange a couple things.  The last stop was Costco to get stuff for the Elder's Quorum BBQ. After we got Rachel to bed John and I watched the season finale of CSI: Cyber that we had recorded.   

Friday 15th - I worked on sewing for a little bit in the morning and then went visit teaching.  After Rachel and I got home I worked on sewing for a little bit while she played and then we had lunch and nap time. That evening after John got home we headed to the Elder's Quorum Presidency BBQ. It was pretty cold and windy but Rachel had a blast on the playground and in the sand.  After dinner we went over to the president's house to watch a movie but we had to leave before the end to get Rachel home to bed.  Once she was asleep John and I watched the season finale of Amazing Race.  

Saturday 16th - John got up really early and went on a 10 mile run.  After he got home he showered off and headed out to get a haircut. When he got home we all headed out to Target which made Rachel very happy.  After we got home we all had some lunch and then Rachel and I took naps. That evening our friends Kevin and Kindra came over for dinner.  Dinner was fun and after dinner we watched Big Hero 6 and I helped Kindra work on her baby registry.  

Sunday 17th - John had a meeting at the church in the morning and then we spent the rest of the morning relaxing together as a family.  Church was nice, Rachel was very cuddly during Sacrament Meeting.  After church we came back home and got to spend the evening together as a family again which was really nice.  John and I had fun during the day watching Big Bang Theory.
