Ready or Not...

here he comes! I went to the doctor yesterday and he said that I am 1 cm and 50% effaced. I was expecting to not be dilated or effaced at all, so that was exciting news for me! Not sure if I am going to make it to my inducement date which is October 15th. I am still hoping that he comes on 10/10/10 since Kambree was born on 11/11. We'll see what happens. Either way, he will be here in the next couple weeks! I can't wait!

Petza!

Last night Kambree went over to Brian's parents so we could get some things done and ready around the house for the baby. They took her to Ihop for dinner so while she was gone, I put a frozen pizza in the oven for Brian and I. Anyways, today for lunch I got the left over pizza out and warmed up a piece for Kambree and when she saw it she sucked her breath in and covered her mouth with excitement and yelled "Petza"! I am not sure when she learned that word, cause we don't have pizza very often, but she was so excited for her Petza!

The other day Kambree had a little owie on her thigh. I am not sure how she got it, but it was really tiny like the tip of a pen. She came up to me grabbed my finger and said "Mom, touch". She kept having me touch it over and over. Then with my finger I just scratched off the scab and it started bleeding a tiny bit. She looked at me and sucked in a bunch of air and said "It's broken!". She then walked around pointing to her owie saying "It's broken, it's broken". I am not sure where she got it from, but I thought it was pretty cute!

Gilcrease Orchards

We went to the Gilcrease Orchards last Saturday. Kambree loved it! She isn't afraid to get dirty! The veggies we got from the orchard and the apples came from Great Grandma and Grandpa Graham's apple tree! Apple pie anyone??

Kambree

This is a video of Kambree shopping over the 4th of July weekend. Wonder where she got this from! ;)

Another Update

* 35 days and counting! I am 35 weeks today. Now that I think back, this time has gone by kinda fast. I can't believe that in just a few more weeks I will be able to hold our baby Kaden! During my first pregnancy I was nervous because of the unknown. I didn't know what to expect during delivery. Now I am nervous because I do know what to expect. ahhh. I guess you can say that things didn't go smoothly. I am really hoping that this delivery will be better. Either way, I can't wait to see him!

*Last Saturday I ended up going to the hospital. When I woke up Saturday morning, I noticed that I was spotting. I never spotted with Kambree, so not knowing weather I should worry or not I called the doctors office. I only got the machine since they were closed but it said if you are over 20 weeks and have any medical situation to then go to labor and delivery. Still not sure weather I should go in or not, I called my mom and she told me to lay down and watch it for a couple hours and if I still had any spotting then I should go in. So after laying down for a while, I still had it, so Brian and I decided to go in to make sure everything was okay. We got there and they got me right into a bed and hooked up to all the monitors and after a quick look at me they said that it was normal and everything was okay. The doctor has me taking children's aspirin and calcium everyday which is supposed to help prevent preclampsia. I have been taking them since I was about 3 months pregnant. The nurse said that the aspirin is a blood thinner which probably caused me to spot a little. I was in there for literally only an hour. Even though we get a new hospital bill, I am glad that I went in to get checked. Better safe than sorry right? I am just glad that I have a healthy baby boy in there!

*Kambree is growing like a weed! I put some jeans on her the other day and they were floods. Where did this girl get her height from? It wasn't me! She also started complaining that her shoes hurt. So I decided the other day to go buy her a few new clothes and shoes before the baby comes and I don't have time. When we were in the shoe department at Kohls, I grabbed a bunch for her to try on. Including some shoes called "twinkle toes" they are by Sketchers. I knew that I wasn't going to buy them because they were $30. I might be kinda cheap, but spending $30 on a pair of shoes for a girl who is growing like crazy, is crazy! Anyways, I tried on all these shoes on her and either I or Kambree didn't like any of them. So before we left I put the twinkle toes on her just to see. BAD IDEA! She loved them. I couldn't get them off of her. When I tried she would run from me. She would crouch down and look at the shoes in the mirror under the bench and say "Hi shoes!". They have lights on them so she kept jumping to watch the lights. It was kinda fun watching her, she was so cute! The girl knows what she likes! I wouldn't call myself weak, but I did end up buying them. I think that anybody that was in my situation would have bought the shoes for her also! (to make myself feel better I bought them in a size up so she can grow into them!) This girl has some bad shopping habits already!

I think I am in trouble!

Update

* We have 2 cars again! Brian's car has been broke down for almost a full year! It has been hard but we made it work. We are so grateful that the car needed less work than we originally thought! The mechanic says that we got really lucky! The timing couldn't be better either because the closer I get to my due date the more doctor appointments I have. I am so grateful!

* I was able to take Karl to get washed and cut! His hair was getting long and he was so stinky! Not only are we all happy he is clean, but I think that he is happier too! He seriously looked like a mutt! * I will be 33 weeks this Friday! I feel like he is trying to kick his way out early! Kambree moved around a lot in my belly but Kaden kicks me to the point that it actually hurts! It has been a while since I have read the book but I feel like Bella did when her baby was kicking her stomach so hard that she got bruises. Seriously can't wait until I get to hold my little baby boy!

*I wish that I had an update about potty training. It has pretty much come to a standstill. She isn't really interested in going in the potty anymore. I try to let her sit on the potty when I know she is about to go, but she just holds it and would rather just play in her room with her toys. I have tried getting her excited with candy and stuff, but she just doesn't care anymore. Not sure what to do or if there is anything that I can do except to just wait. Any suggestions??

* By the way, Sam only has 9 more months left! Can't wait until she gets home!

Dog food!

The other day I walked into the kitchen to find Kambree's stuffed dog eating out of Karl's food bowl. I am so glad that she likes to take care of her animals! She is so silly!

Driving with Daddy!

These pictures were from a few weeks ago. She loves to play in the drivers seat of the car.

Cupcakes!

Yesterday Kambree and I made cupcakes for Great Grandma Grahams Birthday. I put a chair up in the kitchen for Kambree to watch. She loved it. While I was making the frosting, I turned to grab a spatula and when I turned back she was sticking her little fingers in the frosting to eat! She kept saying "bite, bite, bite, PEASE!". After I would give her a bite she would say "MORE!". I think she is a little sugar addict! After we were all done with the frosting I gave her the beater to lick. She was such a mess I had to take her right into the shower!

Brian's little BIG friend!

We are finally settled into our new apartment! Yay! It is a little small, but we are excited to be in our own place again, and I am sure Brian's parents are grateful to have peace and quiet again in their house!

About a week after we moved in, Brian opened the sliding door and in flew a huge bug. It was a grass hopper! It landed in the corner of our front room behind the couch. Brian started freaking out! So, after about 15 minutes of standing on the couch and this grasshopper jumping out at Brian, he was finally able to kill it! It was a battle and it was so funny watching Brian. He is okay with spiders but when it comes to anything else like cockroaches or big green grasshoppers, he gets pretty freaked out! Lets just say he had a major case of the heabie jeabies the rest of that night!

Potty Training

We started potty training earlier this week. She might be a little young to start but she always tells me when she pooped. I figure that if she can tell me after she poops, then I can probably teach her how to tell me before she poops. Anyways, we bought her a little potty and she loves it. She hasn't gone potty in it yet but she loves to sit on it. Well tonight I caught her trying to go potty like a boy. Brian took her in the men's room to change her diaper because the table in the woman's room was being used. Brian said that she was so interested in what the men were doing at the urinals. He was trying to get her attention to look somewhere else but all she wanted to do was stare at them. I took some pictures of her tonight. There was only one that she is covered up enough to post. This potty training this is much more difficult than I thought it would be!!

FINALLY!!!

Brian got a full-time position! He has only been trying for 3 years! :) It is so hard to get a full-time position at Costco. I am so relieved and happy! I am so proud of Brian and all the hard work he does for Kambree and I. We are so lucky to have him!

Kambree loves...

grandpa's headphones, he uses them at the shooting range.

Amanda's Graduation!

We drove out to Oakhurst, California last weekend to watch Amanda graduate from Yosemite High School. It was such a long drive but it was so worth it! Oakhurst is about 45 minutes away from Fresno. It was nice to get away from the Vegas heat!

Congratulations Amanda!

Ultrasound picture...

We thought this picture was kinda cool... It is the profile of Kaden's face. If you look right above his face it looks like the profile of a woman looking down at him. It looks like she is holding him and kissing his hand. You can see her eyes and nose and mouth. His belly looks like her shoulder. We thought it was neat so I thought I would share.
