June

(Saturday) dropped off dinner for the sister missionaries at the visitors center. 
( Thursday) Jason came home early from work. I was able to go to the temple and do initiatories while he watched the kids. So blessed to have gone. It's been a while and this pregnancy has been beating me up a bit. It's exactly what I needed to refocus and recharge my spritual/physical batteries. 
-13th (Monday) This just happened...our #2 Hali'a started Preschool summer school with her older sister Nanea at Bright Beginnings. She has been waiting 2 years for this. No tears shed, just "Bye Mommy!" Our children are growing up too fast😊😘. We also bought our new family car, 2007 Armada SR 8 seater.
-14th (Tuesday) got to go to the temple with Jason and perform dealings together while Makena Ale and her 'ohana watched the kids for us. For FHE we had a lesson on blessings and prayer and then Jason gave the two girls priesthood blessings for their summer session of school. I she a few tears on the way home as I realized how much she has grown and that she's no longer just my 24 hour partner in crime. I love this girl. She is so special. I cried because of the joy I have for her too to see her so eager and excited to learn and be like/and different from her sister. They are in separate classes which is perfect because I want them to be able to explore things on their own but they have recess and lunch time together which allows them to play and interact with each other. Lmfhey won't want to when they grow up but for now, it's a beautiful thing. Tairāwhiti meantime is soaking up the individual time he gets with me. Each of them is so special and so individual. It makes our family complete. It will be interesting to see what/how our next child adds to our family. 
-15th (Wednesday) Jason finally got his phone working again!!!
-19th (Sunday) Father's Day!! Hau'oli Lā Makuakāne Jase Smitty!!! (Happy Fathers Day) So grateful for a man who shows his love to our children in so many ways...they love you and know they are loved by you even more. Thank you for working so hard for our family providing our temporal and spiritual needs!! We are blessed 🌊🙏🏻😇😘 Starred with breakfast in bed by kids (Nanea-honey nut cheerios, Hali'a-banana blubbery smoothie, Tairāwhiti-buttered toast) plus cards from Nanea and Hali'a, ti-leaf lei from mommy. Spoiled at church with panipopo, peanut butter rolls and root beer floats). Lunch-Dong Yang meat chun. Dinner with grandpa Crabbe, Crabbe boy cousins and their families, uncle Curtis and Aunty Gail-lobster, crabs, fish, poi, yummmm.

Baby #4

4/19 I noticed a bit on our Nz trip that things were changing in my body. More frequent visits to the toilet, grouchy and then not (mood swings), hot flashes, chills, body temp all over the place, lack of appetite, then crazy hungry, having trouble sleeping at night and getting comfortable, crazy tired and sleepy...all in 1 day! Come to find out that I've missed the monthly dreaded visit😳...but I've also had an increased awareness/desire/readiness to have another baby (even thought I don't prosaically want to have one because of its demands) I think I'm finally ready. Feel fat already, but oh well. Gonna hold on to this info for a little longer (1 more week when I can really tell that it's true) then break it to Jase...if I can hold out that long.

4/20 couldn't hold it from him. He wanted to spend the day together and just wasn't feeling the same. All I wanted to do was eat anything I wanted because who knows when I will keep my last meal down...are st Surfntaco pork burrito. Was soooo yum. Then lunch came... And I threw up! Oh well I guess I was too excited.

4/21 throwing up continues. Time to go see the dr and confirm things

First official confirmation of a pregnancy by the Dr. Had our first ultra sound. Erin Campbell watched Hali'a for me while I took Tairāwhiti with me. Baby is measuring a little bigger than expected. Making the due date two different day, either December 16 or December 21. We will come back in 3 weeks for another ultra sound to confirm the due date. I will definitely need it because I don't/won't go over due. Either baby come out early or I will induce on the due date😊. Lots of throwing up. They took me off Zofran and prescribed me Regland for nausea. We'll see if it helps/works.
