Babies and Zoos

Yesterday we went to the zoo. It was so much fun! It was cold and nobody was there. My idea of a perfect day at the zoo. I went with 2 of my cousins and their kids and we just let them run all over because they basically had the whole place to themselves. I wish I had some pictures, but close your eyes and imagine snow and animals and you'll get the idea.

Last week we watched Hyrum, cousin, for 2 days, all day. He went with us to the zoo and I'm watching him today. Patrick and him are starting to act like brothers. Where is Hyrum? Where is Patrick? Then they find each other and fight over toys. Crazy kids, but it has been interesting traveling with 3 kids and everything. Makes me wonder how I'm going to do with 3. Well, we will figure it out and I already have 3 car seats in the car. Life will work out.

Sorry to bring up babies again, but I feel like that is my life right now. And it isn't just because I'm pregnant.  Get this, I found another lady to add to my list of pregnant ladies. Here is the list:

1. Sara from book club due end of July

2. Ember my cousin due 1st of august (they watched Patrick when we had Auretta so I don't know what we will do this time.)

3. me 8th of august

4. Malina friend august ?

5. Laura sister-in-law 2nd of sept

6. Someone else, but I'm not sure if they want people to know yet; beginning of oct

7. another who I'm not sure is ready to announce; a few weeks after #6

8. last but not least, the elephant at the zoo, who got pregnant way before any of us and will be pregnant WAY after all of us! I'm glad I'm not an elephant, 9 months is more than enough for me.

In some ways I wish I could just enjoy all of these new wonderful babies and be really supportive of their mothers. But it will be so much fun at family reunions for all of these kids! Congratulations to all those expecting! I'm so excited for all the new babies this year, especially those that will call me auntie
