Almost There

Monday, March 23, 2009

Four weeks left till my due date so if K's feels like coming out he is more then welcome too. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and hoping everything is ok. Last week the Doctor thought that he might be measuring small but when he remeasured he said he was wrong. I think he got it right the first time, he was measuring small. Before that appointment I hadn't had much of an appetite so that could be a reason for it but since then I can't seem to be full. We are fully ready for him and I'm REALLY excited. E started jumping up and down today saying she couldn't wait to see what he looks like. (She has a calender and we marked the due date on it so she knows when to expect him. The month is almost over so she's already looking to the next month and what it hold.)

Last week was Spring Break and, lucky me, I got to stay home with E during the day and work at night. I loved having time alone with E but going to the library every day for story and craft time got to me. By Thursday I could barley walk so I had to call into work. I wish I could still act like a 5 year old and not feel the effects but carrying around a baby that's about to come out makes it really hard. Next Spring Break, they have two one in March and one at the end of April, will be different. K will be here, weather by nature or force, so I'll be able to move around more and play with E more.

S's work is throwing us a Diaper Party this Thursday, which is really nice of them. A lot of his co-workers bring in diapers and things and we have a party. It's kind of like a baby shower but mostly for diaper. This is going to help us out a lot. We;ve already started buy some but this is really going to help us out, considering the price of diapers and everything.

6 weeks

Monday, March 9, 2009

6 weeks till my due date!! We have the room all set up and everything ready for K to come home. We are really excited. E loves playing with his toys and can't wait to show him how to use them.

E is doing great at swimming. I'm usually so exhausted on Tuesday and Thursday's night that I can't make it to the class so when we went swimming on Friday I was really shocked at what she could do. I feel very confidant that if she fell in the water that she would be safe and able to get out without a problem. I'm really glad she enjoys swimming and knows how to be safe.

She is doing really well at reading as well. She just got a new book from school, her third, and is really excited to start reading it. I'm hoping that she'll get through this book this week and return it on Friday or Monday. She is also learning addition but they don't call it that. It's in the form or a dice game but they still add up the numbers. She's doing really well at school and she loves it there.

All in all the fmaily is doing great. Keep you posted if something changes.

Baby Shower/Suns weekend

Monday, March 2, 2009

S's Home!!! He was only gone a week but it felt like forever. Being pregnant and having to run around after a 5 year old is exhausting but finally S is back. He came back on Friday so I picked him up at the airport in PHX and headed to his parents house to stay for the weekend.

We had the baby shower in Saturday, which was a total blast and Grandma did a wonderful job. Grandma started early with getting things ready and as soon as I got up I started helping. Annette came over when Greg and the guys went out to play golf and helped out. With the three of us working we barley got everything done when people started showing up. The theme was baby pooh and was so adorable. She cooked so much food that we still had left over on Sunday night. We socialized while we ate then we played the Price is Right with baby items. She had some baby items that we had to guess the amount of the item and the one with the lowest difference won and the one with the greatest difference got honey (and a gift). With my help E won and Lauren, S's cousin thought babies were a lot more then they really are. When opening the gifts we played BINGO, Grandma made out the BINGO cards with items that we might get and as I open a gift if you have it on the card then you get to cross it off. It was a great way to keep the people entertained while I opened gifts. I got some many great gifts that S and I only had to buy about 4 things. I appreciate everyone for being so in-tune with what a parent needs and doesn't need. We only got one blanket, I was worried that we would get a ton of these and nothing else, and it was from G-ma. She knitted it and was it beautiful.

E didn't get left out either. Grandma put together a gift for her. It had fun games and activities for her to do and a Big Sister t-shirt, which was really cute. My sister also got her a few gifts and so did G-ma. G-ma got her a baby set and made her a blanket just like the one she gave me for K. Now E can take care of her baby dolls just like I do. She had so much fun. I think we all did. I know I did, I got to see my family and friends that I hadn't been able to see in a long time. To be able to laugh and hear stories was so much fun. I really appreciate Grandma for doing all this for us.

Suns Sunday!! For Christmas I got S tickets to see the Suns play the Lakers, the seats were center court 17 rows up, really good seats if you ask me. I wish I could have gotten him court side but they are really expensive. The game was an exciting one, especially in the last half. The Suns started out strong and was leading almost the whole game, except the beginning of the third when Kobe started going but that didn't last long. The Suns did an awesome job keeping the Lakers scoring to a minimum. It was a nice treat to be able to have one last thing with S before K comes. I know S liked it since he got his big cookie :)

Now it's time to unpack from a fun filled weekend and try to find space for everything we need. Wish us luck.
