Best Picture EVER

in Idaho

I kept trying to put these shots up on the MadsenBlog, but they just don't want to post. We are napping today, and going back to San Francisco tomorrow to figure things out and have Zane. I hope to come back this fall with a little sweetie boy . . . and Christian, too!

morgan took 2 pictures on thier camera

yay! At least there were these 2 pics.

Aw MAN!

Hey!! this post is for Em Grow! I couldn't find your blog . . . so sad.
anyway, my little cousin Erica is moving to Las Vegas today. She is really pregnant with twin boys. It is such a small world, she will probably be in your ward or something! Well, post back and I will try to catch up Blog-Style. I am probably typing it in wrong or something, but I can't figure it out.

(By the way, Zane is my second choice for a name . . . "Grayson" was vetoed by my husband, and he didn't like Tyson or Jordan, either . . . ha ha ha!)

I do have a booh-bah belly!

Zane's the name!

I asked Ezri if she thought Zane was a good baby brother name, She said "Zane?" Then "Baby, Zane?" It looked like she was really thinking it over . . .
Then she got her , "oh, I get it" look . . . and yelled "ZANE-ZANE-ZANE -BAH!"

Now instead of patting the belly and saying "baby", she asks me , "Boobah, belly? Zane-Zane-Zane-bah, belly?"

I am thinking she got this idea in her head when dad said that mom had a boohbah belly . . . and when she asked me "what's that?" when the Boohbah's were on, I told her they were little flying fur-babies. Plus, one is named Zing-Zing-Zing-Bah . . . and she has now decided we are having a fur-baby named Zane-Zane-Zane-Bah.

Baby 1 vs Baby 2

Comparing the first pregnancy with the second
1: lots of 'round ligament' pains 2: no such thing, the ligaments must be stretched already
1: lots of back pain 2: none, not on my feet as much
1: didn't really show for 6 months 2: look 9 months pregnant at 6 months
1: let some personal grooming slide 2: won't go out unless the unibrow is plucked
1: woke up at 3 am and ate cake 2: wake up at 3 am and eat Cheerios
1: no stretch marks until week due 2: new stretch marks every day
1: wore regular bra until delivery 2: no comment
1: "I might not need an epidural..." 2: "Are you kidding me?"
1: Couldn't wait!! 2: It's going by so fast!
1: A ton of heartburn 2: not so much
1: kicked like a soccer player 2: more like a ninja
Something that is just the same, going to the bathroom a lot, and being excited to meet the new kid!

4th of July

We went to BBQ in San Francisco. Good friends and good food. I didn't take any pictures, our friend, Sandra, was going picture crazy - so I decided she can be the photographer and we can get some copies from her. But it is hard to wait! How did we ever manage when photos all had to be developed?
