It's Kind of a Big Deal...

Tonight we took the babies to see the Christmas parade. Parker was running around like a wild man until he fell and hit his head (big suprise). Once it started, he sat like a little angel and watched the entire thing. He really liked it. Then after the parade we....drum roll please......went to dinner with both children for the first time. It actually went very well.

p.s. if anyone wants to get us a new camera for christmas....that would be great. it just so happens that there was a hole in the backpack I had on tonight and the camera fell out and now the back and ok buttons do not work. it's time santa, it's time.

Also, today at school we had a "staff meeting" that for some reason I had no idea about. I wasn't really suspicious though bc, lets be honest, I don't pay attention to meetings and try as I might, getting to school on-time in the morning just isn't in the cards right now. I try, I really do, but I just can't seem to get there until 8:15. Anywho, the "staff meeting" turned out to be a suprise baby shower for me, Kimmie and Autumn. It was so nice. I had tears in my eyes. They bought Parker a Chuck the Truck toy, which he totally loves, as well as the pink balloons and a book that everyone signed and a gift card for Camden. It was so nice and the cake was delicious. Thanks everyone!

A Visit from Uncle Ryan and Granny's Bday

Granny's birthday was last friday (Oct. 2) so we went to visit and eat Hoho cake from Litty's, see Uncle Ryan (his first time meeting Camden) and of course celebrate Granny's birthday.

A Trip to the Fair

We took Parker to the fair on Saturday. He loved to run around. Didn't care much for his stroller. I can't blame him, there is so much to see. He did play two games where he throws the ball. One trip was enough for us, however, I do love fair food.

Our Beautiful Bathroom

The bathroom has been finished for a couple of weeks now, but my camera is acting up. I can't seem to get pics to transfer so it takes me forever to load pics. It's a long process now instead of one-touch like Kodak says.

Another New Blog

Well, call me crazy but so I don't get the guilt trips, I've made Camden a blog too. Here is it:

I'll put the Cam only info on it.

Happy Birthday, Camden!

When Camden was ready to come, she didn't mess around. This little girl decided she wanted to come Friday night and I don't think I was even ready. My water broke right about midnight and I called the hospital to see if I had time to shower. My water didn't break with Parker, they ended up having to break it. They said to go ahead, but not take too long. We checked into the hospital at 12:20 and little Cami came at 2:19. I had absolutely no contractions until after my water broke and by the time I got to the hospital they were 3 minutes apart. Within an hour they were 1-2 minutes apart. They were so strong and I kept asking if the epidural was coming...yeah it came, in time for me to have a baby. Jim got as far as numbing my back and that's when she came. They had to yell for Dr. Prior and Scott to get in the room and good thing because two pushes later, there she was. After the first push Dr. Prior said if you give a good one on the next push she will be out. I would do anything to stop those contractions so low and behold, there she was. We still cannot believe how fast it all happened. I knew that second babies were supposed to come fast, but wow!

Magician

I must be able to do magic bc I was scheduled to go to the doctor today, but I wanted to know what was going on so I called yesterday and got in at 3. I waited for 30 minutes before I even got into a room then another 30 minutes before the doctor came to see me. The best part, yet another new doctor. This was Dr. Mayo. I decided to go ahead and see him bc I figure if there was a chance he would deliver, I'd like to meet him before the delivery. So he does his check and it turns out he said I am at a 2. The magical part, I was at a 4 last week and somehow I am getting smaller. Ta da! For my next trick I will be pregnant for the next 9 months being the longest gestation period for a baby in the history of women.
