Catch up!

The Clark's

I was uploading my pictures from my camera to my computer and saw that there were a lot of important things I did not blog about! Blame it on my pregnancy brain! A lot has been going on around here and I just forgot.

When we left PA we went to all our friends and said good bye and took pictures with them! We miss them all so much already, but we hope to see them again!

This is my belly at a little over 36 weeks!

The other night Jacee had a dance recital and we were able to go watch. It is so fun to be home and be able to go to things like that that we have had to miss for the last two years. She did such a good job and is a great little dancer!

I never posted about Mother's Day! Josh and my mom got me this BEAUTIFUL picture of Hannah and her baby. The caption underneath says "For This Child I Prayed" This is one of my favorite stories in the scriptures and I love this picture! I will cherish it forever!

Josh and I are so blessed to have such amazing Mom's! Both of us get along great with both of them and we are so lucky! We love them so much! It is so great to be able to be around them more often now. Happy belated Mother's Day to all!

Getting settled...

Well we are here getting settled in Utah! The moving truck finally arrived from PA and we are getting settled at Ralph and Heidi's house. Our car got picked up today and is on it's way being shipped. Josh was able to fly home because of what was going on with me and stuff, which I am so grateful for! I am SO glad he is home. It was SO hard to be away from him while I was having complications. I am on moderate bed rest so I am just taking it easy. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and I am dilated 1.5 cm and 60% effaced! I am 36 weeks, so hopefully this guy will come a little early! I have to go get Non Stress Tests and Amniotic Fluid tests twice a week and my regular doctor appointment once a week so I feel like I am always at the doctor! The baby is still doing well though and getting big! I will post recent belly pics soon!

Josh started school and is liking his classes! It is quite a big difference from Bucknell! He can tell that all the guys are return missionaries and it is a nice change!

This picture was taken right before we left PA with the missionaries! They were great and we are going to miss them.

It has been so nice to be home and see our family so much more! I have seen my mom like twice in one week which is quite a change. They came up for dinner and to bring some of our baby stuff. We all went to dinner to celebrate Josh's graduation! I will post pictures of that fun when I get them because I didn't have my camera. We are just happy to be back in Utah near family!

Home...

Well, I am finally in Utah! My mom flew out on Friday night and we stayed the night in a hotel and flew to Utah Saturday morning. The flight was NOT good to me and I am still huge swollen. Sunday I went to the hospital because I was still swollen and my blood pressure was really high. They monitored me for a while and took some lab work. They think I either have preeclampsia or gestational hypertension. I had to do a 24 hour test and I will get the results tomorrow to determine what is wrong. Basically I just have high blood pressure right now...so I am just taking it easy. I couldn't go to Richfield though because there was no way I could drive that far and get farther from the hospital, so I am at Josh's parents house in Midway until he gets here this weekend. Hopefully everything will be fine because my BP is just slightly elevated, not extreme. I just have to take it easy. This picture does not even do it justice at all, but my ankles and feet were so big I could not even walk! The joys of pregnancy! :)

Work Goodbyes

Last week I went to dinner with all my girls from work! It was SO fun! I am really going to miss all of them...they all "say" they will come visit in Utah but we will see if that really happens! :) We went to Front Street Station for dinner and I had the best dessert! They were all making fun of me because it was huge and I ate it all! But hey, I have a growing baby boy inside! I'm eating for two! Brandi is pregnant too, she is only about 24 weeks and is having a baby boy too! We had a great time and I will miss them all! It's so weird I have been SO looking forward to moving home, but I never thought I would have such a hard time leaving all my friends here....they have become my Pennsylvania family!
