Birthday Boy Turns 3!

Hyrum the "snowmobile guy" as he names himself. His amazing speech teacher can attest to his frequent and long conversations about snowmobiling...so 2 days before his birthday she arranged for Hyrum to get to ride on a real snowmobilie. Her boss has snowmobiles and they invited us up for part of an afternoon. Hyrum was actually terrified once the snowmobile was turned on but after forcing him to take a ride with Alyson(the speech teacher) and daddy he loved it! Above is a picture of Hyrum on the kids snowmobile that was broken. He loved it...we might have to invest in one of these. Below is Alyson, Hyrum, and Ben on the snowmobile.

We are so grateful to have wonderful people in our lives and Hyrum's to do something so special! It was so wonderful! The worst part is that next Tuesday is Hyrum's last day of speech...he tested at the level of a 4 year old and no longer qualifies for speech! While I am so grateful he has done so well we will miss his teacher so much!

So, this is a few weeks late but...My baby turned 3! Hyrum had his 3rd Birthday on February 27, 2011! I had worked all weekend so we did a small celebration on his birthday and then had the party the next night. I don't know why but we've started this tradition of taking pictures of him waking up on his birthday...so...while I was at work...Ben took pictures of Hyrum waking up for me.

Sunday night I had attempted to make this brownie/waffle idea from Rachel Ray...didn't work at all...but we still ate parts of it and put candles on top for Hyrum to blow out on his actual birthday! Can't believe he's 3!!

So, now we are on to the next night...his party with cousins/family. He wanted a truck themed party so we did dump trucks and stuff. Here he is in front of the construction zone!
He also is sporting his "snowmobile" shirt. He is OBSESSED with snowmobiles and so I found him this shirt for his birthday. He wore it 3 times that week!

Opening presents from everyone! (He loved the outfit G&G Butcher!)

Now a little baby update...March 5th my sister in law Becky and cousins-in-law Lindsey & Adrienne all got together and had a little baby shower for me. We went out to eat and I forgot to take pics but here is the diaper cake Lindsey made! So cute! We got spoiled with clothes for baby girl and it was so great to go out with no kids!

I'm officially 38 weeks! Hooray! I'm 3cm dilated and dr says any time now. If no baby comes by next week..we'll be having an induction on Thursday or Friday (24th or 25th). We're hoping for Friday because my mom flies in on the 24th...so we'll see! I am so excited to be a mommy again and finally meet this little girl we've been waiting what seems like forever for! I'm so grateful we have been blessed to go through IVF and have such success. I've taken care of a few patients at work lately that were IVF and have not been as fortunate as us. Here's to our last week as a family of 3!
