Over too soon


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.
