Baby Update

This may just be my last baby update. We should have a face to put with a name soon. I went to the Dr. this am and am dilated to a 4. He looked at me and said, "I think it's a good week to have a baby"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I am technically scheduled for induction Friday morning at 7am. This is also how C's induction went, but instead of being induced on the original date they kept pushing me off for a week before they found "room" to get it done! Hopefully that is not the case this time. Different Dr. different hospital so I'm crossing my fingers. I am also trying everything in my power (except Castor Oil, still can't bring myself to do that) to try and get this baby to make an appearance by himself. So if you live in my neighborhood and see me walking with one foot on the curb you will know why. Oh, and I'm also having pineapple for lunch!!!

I bet you have the baby soon. I had the same thing happen to me with both of my kids. I had them both on the day of induction. Mercy Southwest is just a crazy hospital!!!

I can't wait to see the baby. I wish I lived closer so I could help you out. Keep me posted - I think I am only slightly less excited then you and Chris are!!!!
Love ya

Congrats on a potential baby date!
I love how fast other people's pregnancies go... seems like only yesterday you made your big announcement. I always felt like I was pregnant FOR-EVER... but that might have to do with the puking, the swelling, and weight gain.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
