F.H.E.

The other week for F.H.E. we had a great lesson on families and followed it up by making our own strawberry milk shakes. They were DELICIOUS! Camden thoroughly enjoyed "helping" make them (and yes that picture where he is about to eat the strawberry, well he decided to lick it instead and add it into the mixer. YUM!!! :)



Father and Sons Campout

Camden had a GREAT time camping with his daddy. Nathaniel was just as excited to take Camden because he has SO many great memories of father and sons campouts with his Dad. They enjoyed fun games, good food, and great company! Camden loved sleeping in a tent and actually slept through the night for Nathaniel! I know they both cant wait until their next campout!



I can't belive I am already in my third tri-mester...and yes this is about the only picture I have of my belly so far, my family has been asking for a picture and I finally remembered right when I was getting ready to go to Combat class at the gym!
This pregnancy has definently been different then Camden's:
Positives:
1. My sciatic nerve isn't hurting as bad this time
2. I haven't gained as much weight with this one (so far... :)
3. I have definently worked out more with this pregnancy then I did with camden's.
4. This pregnancy is FLYING by!
Negitives:
1. My belly feels so much bigger and sooner then it did with Camden, making sleeping quite uncomfortable.
2. I definently felt pretty with Camden ; maybe the old wives tell is true, "girls take the beauty away from their mothers"
3. I am more tired and more nauseous with this one then I ever was with camden.
4. and last but not least...I don't know how to explain this one, but there are two places on my belly that if Hannah kicks, punches, pushes, it causes me severe pain for a second and then it is gone. Strange yes, annoying definently, but my doctor doesn't seem concerned.

Two nights ago Nathaniel and I were getting ready for bed and Hannah was moving like crazy so I told nathaniel to put his hand on my belly and for the next few minutes he got to feel her hit him with her elbows, hands, feet, head, etc. I love moments like that. Nathaniel says that feeling her move around like that makes it so much more real for him, I think he is already smitten with his little girl :)

Here's to hoping the next two months fly by!

Where's Camden???

Little.....

Miss Hannah will be joining our family July 2012! Yup that's right we're having a GIRL, I think Nathaniel was a bit shocked, but he is SO excited about his little girl, I just know she will have him wrapped around her little finger in no time!
I am almost 21 weeks and can't believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by. At my last appt. my blood pressure was a bit high just like it was with Camden, thankfully I had a safe and healthy pregnancy with him so we are crossing our fingers that this one will be the same!
She is definently a MOVER! The first time I felt her for sure was about 16 weeks and since 18 weeks I feel her move each day - it's to the point now when I am laying in bed at night I can look down at my stomach and see her moving! This is the FUN part of pregnancy....No more morning sickness (which I had until 16 weeks), I finally have more energy and I'm feeling her move around each day - that part definently makes the pregnancy seem more real :)
Pregnancy symptoms right now include HUNGER.....thankfully mostly for meat, I LOVE meat especially if it is steak, YUM! Also if I move a certain way to fast I have shooting pain down my leg - BOO Sciatica! Other then that no symptoms....Except a GROWING belly, I thought to myself today, Was I this big with Camden at this point? But I am loving it!
What does Camden think so far? Well besides me asking him where baby Hannah is and him pointing to my belly and then me asking him where is big boy Camden and him pointing to himself I dont think he really gets that soon he is going to have a baby sister! But he is a sweety (for the most part :) So I think he is going to be a GREAT big brother!
We are definently excited for the summer to come so we can hold our sweet little girl!

July 2012 sounds like a GREAT month to me!

It is true, Baby Clark #2 is on its way! Nathaniel and I are SUPER excited, we had our first ultrasound today (10 weeks) and we saw his/her little arms and legs kicking and punching, it was an amazing moment! We also heard and saw his little heartbeat...I can't help it I've already fallen in love :) :) :) The midwife that I saw today was AWESOME! we got along great, I wish that I could see her each time (bad thing about the army, you generally see a different doctor at each appt., positive side to that is your bound to know the doctor that delivers your baby :)

WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET AND HOLD OUR LITTLE BABY in July!!!

only a couple of holidays behind!

The food was delcious, we had a donut eating contest, pin the tail (on some sort of animal, l.o.l), a pinata, and a awesome halloween story at the end. EVERYONE had to dress up and it was just a blast! The next day was our wards trunk or treating/chili cook off! The kids had fun parading around in the customes, us adults had fun talking and at the end of the night everyone had a blast trunk or treating! On Halloween we inviting my sister and her kids over and my friend Julie (how I call cricket from our oakcrest days) and her kids over and we enjoyed eating mummy dogs and fruit! The older kids had SO much fun trick or treating and getting candy and the younger kids (Camden and Emily) had fun but would much rather stop at each house and play with their friends, haha!
