This year's Whitmore trip, we spent the long Fall break weekend in Sevierville, TN. Our adventures included the neighboring cities of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. This area is actually apart of my mission, right outside Knoxville. It was a lot of fun, perfect amount of time and we stayed at this great <a href="https://www.oakhavenresort.com/" target="_blank">cabin</a> tucked up in the Smoky mountains. </div>

We left Thursday evening. I picked Josh up at work and we hit the road. It took us forever to get there because of traffic and going through tiny towns (which we avoided on the way home). Our first full day, Friday, started out with a hike. It was hard. Not for the normal person, but for me. Halfway up I had an emotional breakdown and started crying. My body has not been pushed this far in a LONG time. Thank you to Josh and my Father-in-law for sticking with me and being patient. I finally made it to the falls and it was beautiful. We all gathered around and ate lunch, enjoyed the beautiful scenery and eventually headed back down. I was so proud of Charlotte going with us and thankful to Eve for watching the little ones back at the cabin. </div>

Saturday was full of more fun! We found a great breakfast place and had a huge pancake breakfast. If you know me, you know going out to breakfast is my jam. Afterward, we found a great park and played for a while! Then we went back to the cabin for naps and relaxing. Late that afternoon, we had reservations for the <a href="https://piratesvoyage.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0brtBRDOARIsANMDykatAxyuQYsl8w5Y0PIvFD6yo3dsVBdpoiP-TzreqLFBBCMhNxNZUpkaAjAbEALw_wcB&keyword=pirates%20myrtle%20beach&ef_id=WD5PBAAABBYkjaKF:20191022151354:s" target="_blank">Pirate Voyage dinner show</a>. I think we all had really low expectations. But it was awesome. We were all impressed and really entertained. The dinner was huge, the kids loved it and Naomi was in heaven!! She didn't squirm or flinch once! She sat/stood on my lap, watching the entire time. I highly recommend! </div>

Sunday was our day at <a href="https://www.dollywood.com/" target="_blank">Dollywood</a>. If you are ever in the Knoxville area, this is a must! We love theme parks, (in case you didn't know) and this is one that is HIGH on our list. I remember that I loved it the first time we went five years ago, but I couldn't really remember too many details. It is fabulous and the fall is the time to go. The weather was so perfect. We got there before it opened and had the park to ourselves for the first hour or so. We broke off into two groups. The roller coaster group and the little kid rides group. Haha. They had rides that Naomi could go on...by HERSELF! I was dying and it made my entire day. It is more of a Disney park, in the scence that the rides are more experience and for all ages. We did lots of rides, brought a lunch and snacks into the park and then ate dinner in the park. Speaking of food, you HAVE to buy the cinnamon bread they are famous for. It is heaven loaded up in carbs. We learned, even more than we knew before, that Charlotte is a dare devil. She went on every roller coaster and loves the thrill. We don't know where she came from. Josh and I are not thrill seekers. But she was in heaven with her cousins at this amazing amusement park. </div>

Monday was checkout. We needed to take family pictures. It has been a while since we took family photos with the Whitmores. This trail was on site where we were staying. It was the perfect backdrop to this fall vacation. I am not sure this is what we will use for Christmas cards, but it turned out good enough to frame in my house! I love family photos, even though it is pure torture for some of my family members (no names mentioned, but can you guess who?)! </div>

<span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Our original plans and then our new plans for Spring Break all feel through, for various reasons, so I quickly came up with activities we could do throughout the week. Mostly, to keep Charlotte entertained. Everyday, Charlotte still practiced her piano and read for at least 30 minutes and I limited screen time until after 5:00 pm (like we do everyday).</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Day 1- Josh had already taken Monday off, so he surprised us and took us out to breakfast. And when I say surprised I mean, he told me the day before, “we should go out for breakfast and really celebrate the day off.” Who are you and what did you do with my husband?! But I’m not going to question him. We tried a new (to us) place called, “The Flipside Cafe.” Yum! I love going out to breakfast more than anything so I was definitely in my happy place. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When we got back, Josh did some yard work. And has made our front yard look beautiful!</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img alt="" id="id_bdd2_6e96_973c_37b1" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Z1mtajLYSnrPumohCQZpLX3vLkkPjrtl93H7GSkRVCpHj_c0PqIVIZCHZ7Y" style="height: auto; width: 353px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></span></div>

The girls did great at the restaurant and Naomi was devouring our nacho toppings! </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">

There was one part where Charlotte and I were both sobbing, like uncontrollably. But then it ended happy. Naomi did ok. There was a moment where I tried switching her to my other arm and she woke up and cried. It only lasted a couple minutes on and off. But she did great other than that. For dinner, McAllister’s Deli does 2 free kids meals for one adult entree on Tuesday. We sat outside and Josh joined us after work. It was perfect. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Day 3- We started the day at Carowinds with friends. After we ate lunch, we headed home, just to get ready for the pool. AND Naomi’s first swim. She loves the pool but it was freezing, so we didn’t get in past our toes. Charlotte was swimming like a fish. I just couldn’t do it. Like the water was painful, it was that cold. But it was hot outside, and we love being outside! </span></div>

Meanwhile, it was a gloomy, rainy day. We headed to Cabela’s for free pictures with the Easter bunny. I love never having to pay for Santa or Easter bunny pictures with Cabela’s being so close! Naomi wasn’t scared at all. Then they had a little craft that Charlotte did. We walked around the store, looked at the animals and fun (big, expensive) toys and then left. Due to the weather, we came home and cleaned and organized the playroom! It was well overdue! Next week will be a big cleaning week as well, since we hardly did any during Spring Break! </span></div>

This past year has been the fastest year of my life. It must be having a second child. I have loved watching Naomi grow and change and become the baby she (still) is. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">One year ago was such a scary, faith-building time for me. More so than any other time in my life. I have never relied so much on trusting my Heavenly Father than during my pregnancy and delivery this sweet baby girl. I am so thankful to him for carrying me through what I thought many times, may never happen! </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When she was in the NICU, it felt like forever. I know I cannot complain because six weeks is nothing compared to what others stay. I just remember it feeling so surreal when we brought her home. Almost to the point of not knowing what to do!! She was so tiny. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Charlotte was thrilled when we finally got to come home. I often think about their initial meeting and it brings tears to my eyes. They are the best of friends and sweetest sisters. They adore each other!</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Naomi is thriving and well. Coming 8 weeks early hasn’t really seemed to have much affect on her. She sleeps through the night, and has for a while! She is the perfect traveler. She loves FaceTime (the only time she can interact with a phone). She still seems so little to me and still can comfortably wear 3-6 month clothes, though I have been putting her in 6-12 month. Her well check is tomorrow and I can’t wait to find out her stats! </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">She has brought so much joy to our family. More happiness I didn’t know was missing. She is so fun to be home with every day. I cannot imagine what our family would be like without her. She is such a great baby! </span></p>

She has a jar of bills that she puts any money that comes in the mail or she gets for birthdays. She never touches it, but this time she was all for it! I told her she could only bring $10. Of course, it was burning a hole in her pocket by the time we stepped foot in the mall and we had to go directly to the Disney store (outlet). This child is OBSESSED with all stuffed animals. And she really does play with them all equally. So I was not surprised at all when she picked up a Vampirina doll. </div><div><br></div><div>Then we went and ate lunch at the food court. Not the greatest options. Of course, Chick-Fil-A and Chipotle were on the outside of the mall, so we ate at Firebiuse Subs. I always forget how good that place is! Charlotte got a grilled cheese and I got the Turkey Bacon Ranch. Charlotte ate hers and said it was the best grilled cheese. That’s always a win when I can find a place where she likes to eat. And Naomi munch on the crust!

She still doesn’t have any teeth. We are hoping those start to come in soon, but we also have to consider her adjusted age. She will pull herself up on me if I’m laying next to her but not up on the furniture. She’s still so little. </div>

We arrived in Connecticut very early on December 26 and I was exhausted. Naomi and I went straight to bed when we arrived at my in-laws. Charlotte was way too excited to play with her cousins to even think about being tired!! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Always a highlight of our Connecticut trips is Duckpin bowling! I think I was the only one who didn't participate because I didn't want to have to constantly wash my hands while holding Naomi. I love to bowl though, but the germs, I just can't! The kids all had a blast and Charlotte did pretty well!!</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center><center style="text-align: left;"><img id="id_2f94_4d2c_f52e_298c" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-myaGdBe5gcY/XDaiyKeg0kI/AAAAAAAANqI/5sxsmlhFTBwJ1FA1Kz1zqP5vWuj8XOcGQCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_d8d7_624b_49e_b11d" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlR28Sctk21FWpR05gCVs2iZHAirH5MA_fVLHRsYcF-ZDR7gh8hXhxPH64oOa8g7yRs8aYVVF8AqkUwOhDYyxtcY0Vhj3jDBq4mfDljJd8eI0BX4XDWKAPuiKaIQD5_ztMHhKrh15SnY8/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_2728_a3fa_95d6_6aa8" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cbdmp7BOOXY/XDaiy-kbGGI/AAAAAAAANqQ/XfRkyAPcFvsQI1Np1f7uLyHK5Duf6NBnACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_da82_2602_7678_d45d" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqHwTUMXOvCd_4-HPRpKNbQjbvCbYBtJvyyAOzIxn8wtKj-OlIEQidd2w8ZpBn5gbWoSY7MfkLyzYZdE4SXvo_iuI9qd-UXxChg0eUbCdE-kpp3fhg8Fcxf8KYuHO73vtNyVFAJQuAqxQ/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"></center><center style="text-align: left;"><img id="id_a8f0_61a2_122e_c9d9" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-davvKjpDios/XDaizQ6HpGI/AAAAAAAANqY/D4q5aiR9yzscp9ZnpFwuw-DCFHgmoi0gQCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"><br></span><br><img id="id_cba1_c039_3961_429f" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jY5chmm_BWE/XDaizqnqKNI/AAAAAAAANqc/HqRLOBK29ow9eCdntEuoB6lnHs6I0X5fACHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_e5d7_4750_d5ef_3d59" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WMzLBL_D0Dg/XDai0JfQmkI/AAAAAAAANqg/BMjQRFQWBWoPu_DfM3U3oHpHJLe181L1wCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_9e66_557c_e363_bcb6" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WyvbqoxPjRE/XDai04yLGJI/AAAAAAAANqk/v5Is3ebOxDcJhtcyX2xg2oNBH6zu2is_wCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br><br>There was a lot of play that happened.

We flew home on New Years Day. I am surprised how smooth all of our flights went. I can't remember if I already said that in my previous post. And I have a greater appreciation for direct flights!!

If you didn’t know, I was born and raised in Southern California and Josh and I lived there when Charlotte was born. When Charlotte was just shy of a year and a half is when we first moved to Charlotte, NC. Josh started his career there and we have a lot of wonderful memories. It has been over two years since we had been back (Michael wedding was our last time there) and I really wanted all four of my grandparents to meet Naomi! That was my biggest motive for the trip. Josh had been onboard from day one of mentioning my idea. We booked our flights back in August and planned out every day before we arrived. It was truly like being in heaven, being back. Until we had to fill up the gas tank. ;) Southern California will always be a special place to me and where our family began. The girls were so good on the many plane rides out west and Naomi didn’t make a peep! Some charmed everyone she met! I’ll just go through each day. Feel free to just skim the photos. :) <div><div><br></div><div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Day 1 we went to the Happiest Place on Earth! It was an early morning and we made it in the park about 30 minutes after it opened. We are not ones to run all over the park but to mosey around and soak it all in. We made our way to Tomorrowland and Josh and Charlotte walked on Space Mountain. We were already off to a good start. We went on the Buzz Lightyear ride, Naomi’s first Disneyland ride! I think she was just overwhelmed. Her head kept moving back and forth. Just trying to look at everything. Pure magic for me! Next we went on the rockets and she loved it!

<br />
It feels just like yesterday I was in the hospital having Naomi. What a whirlwind!! On December 7, Naomi turned 9 months old. She is such a wonderful, angel baby and is growing big every day, even though she’s still so little!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Naomi is eating baby food and can suck a pouch dry! She loves trying our food! We recently started Veggie straws and she love them! She is still drinking a bottle and I cannot wait to never have to buy formula again! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She is crawling everywhere! When I get ready in the morning, I often have to put her in my bathtub to contain her! Her favorite place to crawl is under the coffee table, bonking her head every time!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She has such a sweet demeanor and can be taken anywhere! The movies, out to dinner, on an airplane...she is so good. We feel so fortunate to have her apart of our family! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are some pictures of her 9-month well check. </div>

<br />
As Christmas came around very quickly after Thanksgiving...I’m, overlapping Thanksgiving, I needed to figure out where to get the girls picture with Santa. Since we had a trip planned for CA, I knew I would get their picture with the South Coast Plaza Santa. The same place where I got Charlotte’s first Santa picture at! In the meantime, we figured we would visit a FREE Santa at Cabelas! While Tahnee was in town, we took the kids, leaving Naomi home for whatever reason. They had crafts and toys setup, Santa mailbox to send a letter and a free photo with Santa. All along we have been telling Charlotte there will be no presents this year due to our fun Christmas vacation. But when she got the chance to sit on Santa’s lap, she didn’t hesitate to tell him she wanted two L.O.L. Dolls.<br />

<br />
Halloween was very long this year. We celebrated early October with a trip to the pumpkin patch with friends. We took a wagon ride, ate apple cider donuts, and let the kids run around. Of course, it’s still very warm, but the girls looked so cute and festive in their outfits!!<br />

Charlotte’s elementary school had “Storybook Day” where you dress up like one of your favorite Storybook characters. It’s in lieu of Halloween dress up. She picked Fancy Nancy. She slept in hair curlers to get the full effect. I think her costume turned out perfect! </div>

Once actual Halloween came around, we were pretty ready!! Charlotte wore her Halloween outfit to school, naturally! We celebrated that night with our community on Main Street with our friends, the Humrichs! It was fun to trick-or-treat to all the small business owners and vendors. Then we went out to dinner. I think this will become our new Halloween tradition!! Once we arrived back at home, Josh took Charlotte to a few houses in the neighborhood. We partied and enjoyed the candy when they got back! </div>

Naomi rode her first swing! She loves being outside and it was just too nice to be indoors. The girls loved getting out. We just went to our neighborhood jungle gym, but it was just what we all needed.<br />

Fortunately, my parents always make an effort to come out and visit, but Utah is so fun and it was about two years overdue. I booked a flight over Charlotte’s “fall break” (more like a long weekend) and we went! It was Naomi’s first flight (beside her NICU med flight)! I had so many things I wanted to do, but the five or six days I was there went by SUPER fast!!<br />

The main focus of our trip always seems to revolve around food. How does the state of UTAH have the best food? In-N-Out, Cafe Rio, Zupas, Swig, Chip. I didn’t know how many cookie places could be in one concentrated area! Ha! It was all good! </div>

I was able to hang out with my siblings, especially Annie, a good amount of time. Including touring the new Missionary Training Center the first night we were in town. </div>

I can’t believe this was Naomi’s first time at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. She loved all the attention she received. She met Gregory, William and Lillee for the first time too!<br />

Another highlight was going to Temple Square (with a quick stop at Kneaders for breakfast). It was a beautiful day and it was fun to show Charlotte where we watched General Conference and walk around. She was only four the last time we went. </div>

Another day trip we went to Gardner’s Village. It was all decorated for Halloween. The kids did crafts, Grandpa bought Charlotte and Lillee unicorn headbands, and walked around to see all the decorations. It was very fun!<br />

Although we were having a lot of fun and staying busy, my health was taking a turn for the worst. Each day, it got progressively worse. It was like I could never catch my breath. It was all due to the altitude/elevation. Being in Alpine, I was at about 5,000 feet, opposed to when I’m in South Carolina I’m at 600 feet! I had to get home. I didn’t go home early, which my dad had suggested, but I waited it out. I flew home and instantly felt better. My doctor has since told me not to go back to Utah for now; at least u til my next heart surgery has been done. I’m glad I went, but hope to return sooner than two years, and for longer! 🤞🏻</div>

Both girls turned 6 on September 7! Charlotte turned 6 years old and Naomi had her first half birthday. It was so fun as we anticipated this day and it finally came. I am going to basically do two posts in one.</center>

I don't even know where to start with her. She is so funny, but also opinionated. She acts like she is so old, but is so young. I can see her "only child" for so long shining through, thinking that her opinion matters and that she can be apart of adult conversations. Umm, no. We have to remind her she isn't the parent. But she is a great big sister and is the only one that can really make Naomi belly laugh. It is the cutest thing ever!! Every day she runs home from the bus stop and wants to see the baby. She tells me almost every day she "almost cried because she missed us." </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Charlotte finally started kindergarten. I say "finally" because she has done preschool for three years and missed the cut off by one week. So many of her friends are already in first grade. Even kids in her primary class who birthdays are two weeks before hers. So weird how this cutoff works. It wasn't like that when I was a kid, but whatever. She loves school, not the waking up part (6:30 am). Her teacher is fabulous and she already has made a couple great friends. I went to eat lunch with her on her birthday (above photo) and it was so fun. She wants me to come back like every day. I do want to go back once a month and just have it be a special day for her to look forward to. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
We are trying to help Charlotte find a sport/hobby she enjoys. She has played soccer this past year and hated it. She isn't much of a runner. She also got a bike for Christmas, but hasn't really got the hang of it. She rides it but doesn't keep going fast and will just coast. Then she gets confused when she has stopped. Haha. We had her do a couple Cheerleading camps and she loved it. I just need to find a good gym that is close to us. Right now she is in Tennis lessons and goes twice a week. She likes it so far! I would love for her to really stick with Tennis and you know, get a scholarship to college? haha. SHe got a scooter for her birthday and is obsessed with it. She rides it everywhere because "it can get her there faster." Yes, even from the stairs to the kitchen. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Some other things she loves doing is #1 playing with the neighbor kids. It is the highlight of her day. She loves going to the movies. She loves having a babysitter. She loves playing with other kids of all ages. She loves having one on one time with me and Josh. She really just likes attention. We have tried really hard at being aware of her needs during this past year and all the transitions of her little life. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I love my spunky little six year old and cannot wait to see what she accomplishes and learns this coming year. </center>

What a joy to our family Naomi has been. There were so many days where I thought we would only have one child. I was really okay with the idea, but not okay with the fact Charlotte wouldn't have a sibling. Now that I see them together, my life is absolutely complete. Naomi...</center>
<center>
- holds her head up more and working on not being such a bobble-head</center>
<center>
- has just started to roll over but gets stuck and can't roll back</center>
<center>
- sleeps at least 10 hours every night</center>
<center>
- falls asleep anywhere and everywhere</center>
<center>
- only cries if she is hungry or wants me to hold her</center>
<center>
- loves to cuddle and be held ALL THE TIME</center>
<center>
- doesn't like the vacuum (another thing that makes her cry)</center>
<center>
- loves to be outside</center>
<center>
- hates her car seat and arches her back each time I put her in it </center>
<center>
- loves the bath and swimming- she even falls asleep in the swimming pool- a little water baby</center>
<center>
- does great in the movie theaters (I don't even know how many movies she's already slept through)</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
For her 6 month checkup, the pediatrician did all her stats according to a true six-month old, not adjusted age. She is 85% for length!! She's going to be our tall baby girl. I can't wait to see her and Charlotte tower over their dad. He is going to love it too! Naomi is such a special part of our family. The excitement of her has not died at all. We are all very smitten by her and think she is just the greatest little thing. </center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">When Josh told me he had Monday and Tuesday off before 4th of July, I immediately suggested we go down to Miami! We’ve been wanting to visit the beach sometime this year and visit my brother and his wife. Josh didn’t hesitate and we quickly planned our trip down. We left late afternoon Friday and drove through the night. Josh was quite the trooper. It was a LONG drive. 12 hours to be exact. But it was definitely worth it. Saturday morning, we waited for Courtney to get back from work and we headed straight to the beach. Oh it was so wonderful!! And not near as crowded as I had imagined. I didn’t take any pictures, but just enjoyed time in the hot sun, warm ocean water and soaking in this new city we had never been to. After a few hours at South Beach, we headed to Wynwood for late lunch/early dinner. We ate at this really great Mexican place called, Taco Stand. Wow! It was delicious. We walked around Wynwood Walls and looked at all the art. We headed home later and swam in their pool for a bit and were absolutely exhausted that night.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The next day, we went to church with them. Their ward is in Spanish and English. It was such a different experience for our family. Michael and Courtney both speak Spanish and are great assets to their ward. It was Fast Sunday and their Bishop bore a very powerful testimony. He talked about having uncomfortable situations during this earthly life. How those experiences that we always don’t feel super confident in or unfamiliar or uncomfortable are the ones that makes us grow and reach out to others. Later I learned that him and his family are from Utah and he came home one day and told his wife that their life is too easy and they need a challenge. They moved to Miami and I can only guess how that was one of those uncomfortable situations he had been talking about. It reminded me of when Josh came home and through out the idea of moving to North Carolina. We have become a better and stronger couple and family because of that single decision. It wasn’t easy, but I have learned so much from our new life in the South.</span></span></center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">After church, we ate a great dinner Courtney made for us. Then we went and walked around Michael’s campus. He just graduated with his Masters of Taxation from University of Miami. It is a beautiful campus. So tropical!! We saw lots of different animals while walking around, but luckily, no gators!! Michael also drove us around some nice communities close to campus. It was cool to explore a little bit. When we came back, Courtney and Charlotte made us homemade ice cream. It was so yummy. Something we will have to try at home!!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Monday came and we were on our own. We went into downtown Miami. We started our day at the Bayside Market, which overlooks the bay (and where the cruise ships dock). We ate lunch at Hard Rock Cafe (which was pretty disappointing), walked around and then took the free metro, a monorail, around downtown. It was a good way to get around and just sight see. We made it back to Michael and Courtney’s right as Courtney got home. We had planned to go to BJ’s for dinner (a family favorite). So while we waited for dinner to happen, we went over to Petland and played with puppies. Haha. Dinner was so good, of course, and we couldn’t leave without getting a trio of Pizookies for us all to sample. The restaurant was attached to a really cool outdoor mall, so we tried to walk off a little of dinner.</span></span></center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Tuesday was another beach day. We basically repeated Saturday, beach and Taco Stand, and also visited a very popular and amazing reviewed donut shop, “The Salty Donut.” We took those home and they were heaven. We went home and took a rest before going out to the Miami Marlins baseball game that night! Whenever Michael visits us, we always go to a baseball game, so we kept the tradition going, this time, us visiting him! It was a cool stadium, having a retractable roof. The roof was open, for some crazy reason, and we were sweating our brains out. Haha. Naomi was wide awake the entire time and didn’t make a peep. She was perfect!!</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The entire time we were in Miami I kept saying that I felt like I was in a different country or Hawaii. It was unlike any continental U.S. city I have been to. I went to Hawaii when I was 19 and it reminded me a lot of there. But then we would hear so many different languages as we were walking around. It was an extremely diverse city, which I love. It was very tropical and green EVERYWHERE! I told Josh I don’t have to travel anywhere now, that I got my tropical, beach fix. So if anyone needs a vacation but doesn’t want to fly, just drive down South! It will seriously satisfy you!! A huge thank you to Michael and Courtney for hosting us and being so gracious to letting us stay with them. It was a lot of fun!!</span></span></center>

I think each month that goes by I will be in awe that my baby is another month older. It still feels like yesterday was her delivery date. She is getting so huge, but I know to everyone else she is still so tiny! She weighs a whopping 9 lbs 1.8 oz! (I was bigger than that at birth!)</center>

Having a preemie is such a different expereince. She is just now starting to legit smile at us, mostly me. It doesn't happen often, but Charlotte was a pretty somber baby too. She is sleeping mostly through the night. She wakes up around 3-4 am, eats, and then goes back to sleep until 7 or 8. I am ok with this, for now. I want to start getting her into the habit of last feeding, bedtime routine and crying it out (yep, I'm a horrible mom) in the next month or two. <br />

She is really easy to go out and about with. She loves being outside and is always so calm. She still sleeps a lot during the day but has been awake a lot more. Which is fun, but she also wants to be held while she's awake. I try and take time to just sit and hold her. I know she's my last so I do remind myself of that. <br />

She is such a joy to have in our family. I love her little face so much. Sometimes we just can't get enough of her. There are several times where I just kiss her chubby cheeks constantly.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Charlotte loves having a sister, loves holding her and thinking she can do more than I would like her to (like picking her up...AHHH!). She loves telling other people she has a sister and I hope, will always be protective of Naomi. </center>

We love living in the suburbs of a big city. I know, not as big as Atlanta, but big enough. On Tuesday, a group of friends decided to take the train to the children's library, ImaginOn. After some complications in the morning, we finally all arrived in Uptown at the library. The kids were mostly into the Dino exhibit. They got to ride a dinosaur and watch an egg hatch. Afterward, we took the train home and met at the Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Toward the end, it had been a long day and everyone was wiped out. It was a lot of fun though!</center>

When Naomi was in the NICU, they detected a heart murmur. I completely understand how these are very common in newborns and neither, Josh or I, got too excited. The NICU nurses and doctor did schedule a follow-up appointment for when we would be released. I was able to coordinate Naomi's appointment and mine and we had them back-to-back. Never thought I'd be doing that!!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Basically she still has the murmur and her opening in the upper chambers, that is supposed to close, still hasn't. They didn't seem too concerned and told me to come back in a year and see if it has closed. If not, they will operate and close it. This is a description of what she has:</center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;">Last Thursday, we drove to Atlanta for my doctor appointment. We made great time getting there and both girls did really well. It is so nice doing these long car rides in a van. Charlotte was in the very back, all camped out, I sat next to Naomi in the middle and Josh was in the front listening to his uninterrupted NPR.</span><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;" /><br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;">Once we arrived, I got Josh and the girls situated in the cafeteria and I ran downstairs to radiology. I was scheduled for two CT scans. Of course, I had to get an IV. Luckily, the phlebotomist was excellent and I hardly felt it (or my veins are just numb by now)! Once I laid on the table, I immediately closed my eyes. I can’t look at how close I am to the machine as you go in and out of the tube. Once I was done with that, we all went and met with my cardiologist. I basically told her I want the surgery ASAP! Why let things keep getting worse? She also explained that this valve replacement surgery is very rare with Transposition patients. It sounded like it’s never really been done. Which made me nervous. She assured me the surgeon is one of the best and he does intervention operations all the time. I really thought these were routine, but with the way my heart is and how it has been re-routed, it makes things extremely complicated. GREAT!! </span></center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;">On Monday I met with my Cardiologist here in Charlotte. He made me feel better I was having it done in Atlanta by telling me they have never done this surgery in Charlotte. Yikes. But of course, I'm the rare case. He explained that this could go one of two ways. It could make things go really well or it can actually make my overall heart function worse, therefore needing a heart transplant even sooner. This pregnancy has really been taking a long term toll I never realized. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></center>

I brought it up with both my cardiologists again and they want me to not do any. Because of my recent sedentary (at least somewhat) lifestyle, my back is in constant pain. I had a massage on Saturday, hoping to help. It did for a little bit, but of course, I feel like those are only temporary if they aren't consistent. I think I am going to start seeing a chiropractor again. I have gone in stages of doing so. I did see one for a few weeks during my pregnancy and it really did help. I am also having weird stomach pains that I don't know what they would be related to. Overall, I feel like my body is literally falling apart. I am hoping to find some relief in the near future and start feeling like a new woman!!</span></span></span></center>

Today was Charlotte's final day of preschool! Hallelujah! We have been paying for preschool for three years and she is FINALLY done. She is SO ready for Kindergarten it's not even funny. Charlotte missed the deadline by a week and honestly, I think she would have been fine to go, but we couldn't. Today's graduation ceremony took place in the Dairy Barn at the Anne Springs Greenway. It was beautiful outside, perfect weather (actually, really hot, but no rain), and we must watch too much "Fixer Upper" because Charlotte said she wished the barn was our house! Josh joined us as well. Perks to working in town, ran over really quick for the ceremony and then back to work. We are excited to see what the future has in store for Charlotte. She loves school, her friends and everything else that growing up entails, so far. </center>

We were fortunate enough to have both of our moms in town over Mother's Day weekend. On Sunday, we started with celebrating Eve and all went to the Cracker Barrell before everyone drove back home. It was fun to spend some time just with the Whitmores. And Cracker Barrell is ALWAYS a good idea. ;)</center>

When we got home, we celebrated with my mom and siblings. We gave her our cards and gifts. Charlotte gave me a gift as well. Something I've wanted for a while but didn't know if I'd have another baby. I got two stacking rings with Charlotte and Naomi's name engraved on them. I love them!! This was also Naomi's first time to church. We only stayed for the first hour because GERMS! The primary children sang to all the moms so I didn't want to miss that! For some reason, Josh had saved us seats smack dab in the middle of the congregation. I was up a few times with both girls and it was rather embarrassing. But I guess makes for an eventful Sacrament meeting. Charlotte was the only one doing all the motions the chorister was doing to help the kids remember the words. Haha. It was cute. </div>

I love this holiday because not only does it celebrate "moms" but it celebrates all women. All women are naturally nurturing and to some capacity have helped in motherly ways to someone else, I believe. I love being a mom to Charlotte and Naomi. There is nothing that has ever been more or even equally rewarding. I am grateful to my mom and all the sacrifice she has made for me and my siblings. Living across the country is not easy for her situation and she always makes time for me and comes to visit me and my family. We love when she comes. It's always a party and always exciting. I am so glad I got to celebrate with her in person this year!!</center>

The night of the baby blessing, we all went to the Charlotte Knights baseball team downtown. The first 2,000 women received a baseball with pink stitching, that included us! It was so hot when we first got there, and of course, our seats were in the sun, but it finally cooled off. We ate some hot dogs (because it's not a complete without hot dogs) and walked around the stadium. It's a smaller minor league team. We have gone to these games when we lived in Charlotte before and hope to go to more this summer. We all had fun, until the Knights weren't scoring and our car ended up leaving early. </center>

As Latter-Day Saints, we bless infants and announce their name that they will be known throughout their life. This is known as a <a href="https://www.lds.org/manual/family-guidebook/priesthood-ordinances-and-blessings?lang=eng" target="_blank">blessing</a>. Josh performed this special blessing and she was blessed in the same dress <a href="http://tiershandjosh.blogspot.com/2012/09/charlottes-baby-blessing.html" target="_blank">Charlotte</a> was. This dress was made by Grandma Sheila from my wedding dress. It is one of my most favorite possessions. I love it so much. The slip has both of their names and the blessing date embroidered on it. </center>

For this special occassion, we had several family members fly and drive into town. We felt so much love, especially for our precious baby girl. For most of our siblings, this was their first time meeting Miss Naomi. </center>

I probably sound like a broken record, but I really am so grateful for my family. I take pride in my strong family relationships. I feel like they take a lot of love and nurturing and I try to put my soul into that. Relationships matter to me above anything else in this world. Now that I have created my own family, I want to teach my girls by example just how important the family unit is. Knowing that our families will perpetuate beyond the grave and that we can be an eternal family brings so much comfort to me. I am grateful for the fulness of the Gospel that has been restored to the earth. For the Priesthood Power, for my daughters to have the opportunity to be given these beautiful blessings as an infant, to set expectations how to live their life at such a young age and to be entrusted with so much potential. I love listening to the words that Josh is inspired to say and think about all that our girls will accomplish in their lives. </center>
