Some pics of my growing belly.
I love this one!!! Poor Euan was freezing in his kilt when we were taking these pics at the Temple.
We've been home since the 9Th of this month and the whole trip to Scotland seems like a dream. The first week flew in so fast with all the chaos of the wedding. It was such a wonderful day. They had the civil ceremony at my home ward in East Kilbride in the morning and then some of the family travelled the 3 hours to the Preston Temple for the Sealing ceremony. I was able to leave Jack with some of my siblings while I attended the sealing. It was so emotional for me. I haven't been able to attend any of my other siblings weddings and finally getting to see one of them 'all grown up' and so in love made me beyond happy.
Alisa is such a lovely girl and I am grateful my brother found her. They absolutely adore each other!
I was pretty homesick for that first week after I got back...don't get me wrong, I loved being with Ryan again, but it was a hard transition going from seeing my family every day to not at all again. Hopefully lots of family members will be able to come visit for a wee while when the baby comes in June though.
As far as the baby goes, things are going fairly well. Although, unfortunately I failed my glucose test again! Bummer. Now I have to go back to the clinic and sit for 3 hours. They told me I couldn't bring Jack with me as I am not allowed to be moving around while I'm there and I can't leave the building at all. In Utah they let me leave and just return each hour on the hour for the blood drawing.
The baby is very active, which is a good sign and a little worrying too....haha...we have another Jack on our hands for sure! I feel massive and probably look it too...you definitely get bigger faster with the second that's for sure.
Ryan and I have started the house hunt and look almost daily online for houses in the area. We meet with our Realtor on Saturday, so I am hoping he will help us find something we can afford and really like. It's our first house though and unfortunately the houses in this area are pretty expensive still, so I'm not holding my breath for my dream house.

I loved seeing your pictures from Scotland on Facebook! It looks like it was such a fun trip and it must have been great to get all those grandbabies together. I don't blame you for being homesick once you got back. The rest of us get to see our families more than once a year so it's only natural for you to miss them so much. I'm sure you are feeling bigger with this second baby, but you look great! Good luck with the house hunt! I hope you find one that suits both of you - and be sure to pass that second glucose test! I can't believe they won't let you take Jack. Hopefully you can enjoy a good book during your peaceful three hours. Ok, this is too long. Thanks for the post! Also, Brett wants to know if all Scottish people get married in kilts.
Yeah, most everyone wears a kilt when they get married and usually any of the men involved in the wedding party do too; like the best man.
Gosh Leigh... so many great things are happening for you. Congrats for your brother and I'm so happy you got to be there for him and your family. And I'm super excited for little Jack's baby brother. How fun! ...and then your first house. All great news.
Edward and I love you guys!!!
How fun to be having another boy! You look great pregnant but I know you don't ever feel it! Good luck with the house hunt. Maybe you'll find a steal of a deal!
