An old update

Here I am at 34 weeks, this was taken about 2 weeks ago. I'm about 36 weeks now, getting closer and closer to the due date!!!! Everything is on track, baby is measuring as he is suppose to be, i'm gaining as i should be, and he is moving around a lot now. I can see the movements in my tummy now too. It has been getting really uncomfortable to sleep, walk, and move really. Even breathing is getting hard, but nothing is too unbearable just yet. Just getting really excited for the arrival.

Christmas

This Christmas we spent in Idaho. I really missed my family!!!! Last year my parents came up to spend it with us and it was one of my best, I loved having them all to myself. This year, with the baby on the way in January, they decided to spend it in Hawaii and see me in January. The countdown begins. But it was still a nice Christmas here with the Molifua's. To start us off on the holiday season, Kira and Rick set up a caroling gig for the family at a retirement home. The Molifua's go caroling every year, and instead of going house to house, we decided to go to a retirement home. I'm so glad we did because it was freezing outside. Next we had our sister in law gift exchange party. It was so nice to get together with the girls, and eat some yummy food. Lanayia planned it this year, and she made an awesome salad, she said it was like a salad from cafe rio. But whatever it was, my mouth has been watering for it ever since. At the exchange we all bring about 3 dozens of some kind of Christmas treat. It was hard to taste every dish after filling myself up with the salad, but luckily we all get to take home a good portion of the treats. it took me 3 days to eat them all but i did it. ha! Then we had a Christmas eve dinner at Mom Molifua's house. She made prime rib and ham, it was oh so delicious. We had the neighbors over too, and Chanel just loved Mrs. Johnson. She cuddled with her almost the entire night. She was such a good girl, I think she got way too much meat to eat that night, that is why she was so mellow. After dessert we did our gift exchange and then went on our way. Here are pictures Tilera took. I'm not very good at taking pictures even though I take my camera with me every where we go!

Graduation

So it has been awhile since i've posted. December was definitely hectic. On the 12th of December Tahri graduated from BYU-Idaho. Yahoo!!!! We are all so proud of him, he has worked so hard these past few semesters to get his schooling done. He took 18 credits in the summer semester, signed up for 6 credits in the 6 week summer session and then finished off the Fall semester with 21 credits. Finally a break! He is soo anxious to get back to California and to start working again. He is also wanting to get into graduate school. So much ahead of us, I serisouly can't wait to see what the next phase of our lives will be like. Congratulations babe!!!!

Surprise Baby Shower

I have the best family in the world. They do so much for me. The Sunday before Thanksgiving, my aunties in Hawaii decided to throw a baby shower for me in Hawaii and surprised me with it. They worked it out with Tahri to set up a webcam so that we could see each other. I hated the surprise because I was not looking my best, and I hate being on camera when I looke like I just rolled out of bed. Anyways, my aunts gathered the family together at my Aunty Ronette's house, they decorated the place with baby stuff, cooked a feast, had party favors, and even played a couple of games. It was so wonderful to see everyone even if it was on a small screen. I wish I was closer to all of them during this time. They each opened the gift they brought for me and then my parents sent everything to me. I was sooo touched, and felt so loved by everyone. It was such a wonderful gesture and I can't express enough how grateful I am for them. Just the other day I received about 5 boxes from my mom with all of the stuff that everyone got me. I had so much fun opening the boxes and seeing everything first hand. This baby is definitely spoiled already!!!!

Thank you to my ohana in Hawaii. I love and miss you guys so much. Oh and congrats to my cousin Daniel on his new addition too, Baby Zaylee.........
