Wonderful Trip to Utah

Carter and I got the wonderful opportunity to go to Utah for a week to visit family and help my sister while she had her baby. My dr. said I could fly as long as I was under 34 weeks and the Monday after I got back was my 34 week mark, so I was cutting it pretty close. Nate missed us a ton and kept telling me that I better not go into labor without him. Carter and I were able to visit most of our family on both sides as well as just hang out and play. The main reason for our visit was to help my sister and her family while they had their second child. We played, cleaned, organized, and even had a day out to get pampered with pedicures and some needed haircuts. It was a GREAT afternoon. It was so fun to be there waiting for the phone call to hear about the delivery and his name. All went well and he was born 8lb 12oz and they named him Kaiden Micheal Seal. He is so darling and I am so glad I was able to be there to hold him. The hospital nurse was even nice enough to let Carter in so he could see the baby. It was so cute to watch the smile on his face when he say the baby and wanted to hold him. I am so excited for Carter to meet Baby Girl.

We had great weather for a few days and then it snowed for a few days. It was crazy.



We took the kids to Grandma MeeMee's mall to ride the train. Carter and Tuscanee loved it and were so cute.

I am so sad you are gone! I LOVED LOVED LOVED having you here. You were a lifesaver. I know Nate missed you but he gets you all the time. We never get to see you ;) I loved my afternoon out to be pampered and everyone commented on my toes in the hospital. Even the 2 doctors said how cute my toes were as they walked in to the OR. I am so glad you were able to come and meet Kaiden. He loves his favorite Aunt and misses her. I hated saying goodbye to you and Carter because I had so much fun with you here. Thanks again for coming to help us! We LOVE you so much.

Christmas and Birthday time is just going to be so much fun with all these little ones around. You look adorable and so does Carter... What a great week you had!
