My Sister From Another Mister!

This is my sister in law, Vianney.

She is amazing, wonderful, SO funny, sweet, smart & is going to be SUCH an amazing mom! 
We have become fast friends since she married Adam's brother, Andrew & it's been so fun having another married in-law in the family to talk to and hang out with and talk about our crazy husbands. And just having fun at random stores...Like this one.
We thought this bra was SO funny and she thought it was huge enough to be a hat apparently (until I looked at the tag & it was the size I wear...I didn't think it was AS funny after that, but she still makes me laugh)

When we found out that we were pregnant & told Adam's family Christmas day, she was the MOST excited & cried with me cause frankly, I think she was just excited someone knew how she felt and could relate. She's had a rough pregnancy with her gallbladder and has been sick a lot. But is such an amazing woman. If you don't believe, just listen to her story. They found out they were pregnant a week after Andrew signed up for active duty in Afghanistan. Man! 

He left a little after Christmas & she has been such a trooper as he has been gone. So, when she asked me to be there to help her through labor...how could I say no?? This buddy of mine was in need & I couldn't imagine my husband not being there when I have our baby, so of course I said yes. She is due Feb 20th so I made plans to be off that day. Then, last week she asked me to take her to her doctor's appointment since every one of the Blain's was busy so I said of course! We even got Snocones afterwards! So fun! (Total Craving)

And this is how she looked when on that Friday the doctor told her she would be induced the following Wednesday (Feb 6th) so they could hurry & take out her gallbladder a few weeks later! Yep..we were both freaking out!

We freaked out but were SOOO excited!! We couldn't wait to meet him. Thank goodness we had her baby shower planned for the next day. I'm pretty proud of this beaut I made for her!


I love this girl so much! She is an amazing example of strength & conviction & I couldn't ask for a better friend in the family! Love you Vianney!!

I can tell how much you love her! I totally know what she is going through; I had Avery while Jason was in Iraq. Seriously, I know she doesn't know me, but I would be willing to write/talk to her if she ever wants someone to talk to that has BEEN THERE and DONE THAT.

I am so blessed that my cute nephews have married such wonderful women. I loved seeing Vianney when she was in Utah. She is a very loving and caring woman who will make a fabulous mom. I have loved getting to know Lindsay on Facebook. I'm so happy that you are going to have your own bundle of joy this year. My nephews are 2 very lucky and blessed men to have married 2 of the loveliest women.
