Tick Tock....Tick Tock

Still waiting...

I know I can go into labor any day, and that kinda freaks me out. But what I just realized today is that I am definitely going to be having this baby within the next two weeks! My doc said he'd let me get induced Dec. 8th, and that's not too far away! Physically I am ready, mentally... that's another story. I'm starting to wonder if I will be able to handle three children. I guess I will just take it one day at a time, like any other mom would. And pray... always pray!

Still waiting...

Really??!! {Baby Update}

On Monday I went to the doctor, who told me that I might be delivering sooner than I thought! I am already dilated to 2cm at just 35 weeks! I had to cancel our plans of going to Utah for Thanksgiving which is a total bummer. Chris is currently working in Texas, and should be home for the weekend, but then he's out of town again after that. It's slightly stressful to think that I might have to do this on my own. I will keep my friends and family informed if anything should happen! Wish us luck!

Serious Break though!

Crew has been having serious difficulties with Nursery over the past 6 months I would say. He gets really panicky, cries ALOT, and wont stay in for long. We just moved into our new ward a few weeks ago and of course... no change. Today I was not feeling very good and just overall stressed out. I was not looking forward to the struggle of Nursery. This must have been apparent to Crew. I brought him in, he panicked, but still proceeded to go in. They eat snack first and I found a spot for Crew and sat him down. He observed the other crying children for a few minutes as I sat behind him waiting for him to start bawling. He put a goldfish cracker slowly into his mouth, turned to look at me and said, "You leave Mom. I'll be a good boy."

I almost lost it. I got up and walked for the door just about in tears. I love my son soooo much. He has the purest heart ever. I'm sure with me being ready to pop and hormones out of control, this is some-what of a serious break though, and to others not so much. I just wanted to share my proud parent moment so I will never forget how happy it made me.

Crazy Kids

Crew and his craziness. They got into some markers, so that's why Crew is sporting spots on his forehead. And then there's Kaylee...attention hog! Gotta love those crazy kids!!

Trick or Treat!

This year Halloween was so much fun!

We carved pumpkins the night before. Kaylee and Crew got their own pumpkins to clean out. Kaylee did a great job, but Crew didn't want to put his hands in the "yuckyness" of it. They each picked out their own design for the pumpkin and I spent hours carving them out. Worth it, they looked awesome!!

The kids are old enough this year to do all their own walking, and small enough to not want to walk FOREVER! My sister's family came over and enjoyed the night with us as well. Her boys passed out the candy so we could all go together and watch the kids have fun. Crew got freaked out at our neighbors house and ran home, but we convinced him it was ok and showed him it was just a boy in a mask. He kept telling us after each house, "that's scary!" He braved it the rest of the way. Crew was a frog this year, and I made Kaylee's costume, Tinkerbell. It turned out cute.

Kaylee's favorite thing she got was two pumpkin erasers (go figure). Crew was so excited that he had his very own bucket of candy.

Baby News

Ok, just a quick update on the baby brewing in my tummy. I had a doctor's appointment today where I was to get an awesome 3D ultrasound with a DVD of the footage. Well, she wasn't wanting to cooperate. Her legs were in front of her face, and she even had one hand in front of her face too! Good news is that we get to try again next time!

For the second time the Ultrasound Tech asked me if my other kids were big, or if my husband was a big man! Well obviously they aren't! This little (or should I say big) girl is definitely on a different growth track than the other kids. At just 30 weeks she is already measuring at 4lbs 9oz! That's over 2 weeks ahead of schedule people!! As of right now she is also riding in the breech position. Hopefully she moves soon or else we might be facing a C-Section! Cross your fingers that she makes the dive soon!

Vegas Baby!!

Literally... I went to Vegas go to a Baby Shower!! The other day I got to fly (first time in over 6 years) to Vegas to see my friend Marta. She and her husband, Chris (my Chris' best buddy) are having their first baby in November. We are super excited for them, and I didn't want to miss her first shower. It was a short trip (just one night), but we still managed to pack in alot of fun stuff. We ate some really good food (what else do pregnant women do?), we got mani/pedi's, and spent a lovely evening with her friends for her shower.

This trip felt sort of like my last hurr-ah before the baby comes. I wont be doing any traveling all by myself once she's made her grand entrance. It was nice to wake up on my own in the morning, and it was also nice not having to constantly remind kids to behave. I have to admit though, that I still missed the little buggers! I think that's just part of being a mom... it never leaves you!

We are so happy for our friends Chris and Marta, you guys will be amazing parents! We can't wait to finally meet little baby girl Tyler!
