Faces
Harlow loves to look at himself in pictures. Well, today I thought we'd try to see what he does to taking pictures of ourselves while we can still see ourselves -> Result: Awesomeness! This is the first time Harlow has ever made faces for the camera; following my lead in what faces to do we captured some fun ones! I just LOVE being this perfect little guy's Mommy!!!

BYU Homecoming Parade
I decided to take Harlow down to the BYU Homecoming Parade to let him see the floats and get some candy. It was fun to see him change from being timid to becoming fearless as he ran out into the street to wave at all the students, cars, dancers, and costumes. I was running after him and scooping him up and away from other kids candies and horse hooves by the end. One float came by and he saw a girl with candy in her hand sitting on the float and so he took off after her as fast as he could with his cute little hand stretched out as far as it would go, reaching for the treat! Me and the girl were laughing at him and his determination - He was not going to give it up until he got it...which he did.
The kids around us were very nice to him and would help him get candy, even bringing him some that they thought he would like. We sat by our neighbors across the street, Will and Jessica Wickert and their kids (Willow, Ellory, Raylee and Lenix). Harlow's their little buddy.
Harlow had a really fun time but couldn't even make it home without crashing...too bad this nap didn't make it into the house...I think it was Harlow's shortest nap ever

To have a little one once again
We are thrilled to share the news that we are expecting again!! Tomorrow we will be 13 weeks along, far enough where I feel I can stop being afraid and start being more excited - I went to the second Drs visit this morning and he said all sounded well. It was at my second appointment with our last pregnancy that we found out the babies heart was no longer beating...I was a little nervous for this appointment...I hope I can be more excited and less nervous now.
A miscarriage is harder than I imagined, emotionally and physically. And you think you're over it but you find out repeatedly that you're not....that's all I'll say
(*Beware: Possible TMI here) Back in August, I was suppose to start my cycle. That day I felt awful and crampy but it didn't come. Nor did it come the next or the next. After 5 days I finally just broke down to tested. I was pretty surprised to see the positive, since I had been cramping all this time. I was worried and thought for sure we were going to have a miscarriage right away. I don't exaggerate when I say the every time I went to the bathroom I braced myself to see blood...but the weeks went by and the cramping would come and go. I read online and discovered that many women cramp, its fairly normal. That eased my tension a bit. That first Dr appointment I requested to see Dr Thorpe, who I had seen with the miscarriage. Nathan was able to get off work and come with me which meant the world. (thanks Becca for being ready and willing to go with me to be my strength and support) I was nervous (understatement!) but we when we got to see our little one's heart beating is was such a thrill. And, get this, the ultrasound machine fit in the palm of his hand! It was incredible!
We haven't told many people because like I said, we were worried we'd miscarry, but we're feeling good (*still asking for your prayers in our behalf). So here we are telling again - the Andersen Family is about to grow again and we couldn't be more happy! We want this baby, painfully so. And are grateful that everything is looking good so far :)
PS-most people in our ward know...it's nearly impossible to hide my very pregnant looking belly now :) Yay! for baby bellies!
