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.

Viewer Discretion is Advised...

I am officially 8 days away from my due date so I decided to take a picture of how large my belly is.

Crafty Jeanne

Jeanne made this and put it on her blog.....too funny! I love it!

Camden's Room

I made this curtain thingy for $15. The ones at Babies-R-Us were over $150. The bear is a Build-A-Bear that has her heart beat recorded on it. I stole that idea from Jacie and her Mom. Thanks!

I made sure to put some flowers and bugs down low bc Parker loves to go in Camden's room and point to them and say "flow" (rhymes with plow).

My dad made this switch cover. He was bit by the craft bug after he saw the flower mirrors I painted.

Our Trip to the Winery

Doc Update

So I went for my weekly check-up today and Dr. Prior was there. :) He did a check and last week I was a 1-2. Before my check today he said "What if I said a 4-5 then I would be your best friend." To his suprise, I was at a four. His eyebrows went up and he said "Well, you aren't a three." He is my best friend. I think it could be any day now before our little one comes.

The bad news...Scott came home today and doesn't feel well. You know how men are. I'm having contractions but a cold is the worst thing in the world. He took nyquill and is going to sleep on the couch. It's a good thing he isn't...i don't know...having a baby! Let's hope it doesn't happen tonight or I'm going to need a ride.

I promise to post pictures soon, but once again, the camera thingy isn't working so I can't upload them to the computer.

Sprinkle

Jacie and Sandy threw a sprinkle for me this past Sat. and it was so great! We had friends and family come to my house, about 12 people and it was so fun! Yes, we had a hoho cake from litty's, my favorite. What great friends and family I have. Thanks everyone!

Dr. Apt.

Welp, I had yet another dr. apt. yesterday. They did the strep B test. Awesome! I start going every week now so I'll go back again next Tues. in which I will be 37 weeks prego and counting. I voiced my concern about the other doctor and not feeling very confident with him so I guess it's out of my hands who will deliver. I hope it's dr. prior, but I don't really get a choice. I hope this baby comes in the next three weeks. I've dropped a ton!

Can't Sleep

Well, lastnight i had trouble sleeping, but tonight i really can't sleep so i'll update on my dr. visit today...

First things first....dr. mitchell is gone!! he was the young, good looking dr. (scott did not agree) that was working with dr. prior. he is now gone forever and in his place....robert dinero (as described by the nurse.) the new doc is short, stocky and in my opinion, can't read a chart.

he starts off my visit by asking how things are going, i saw well, excpet for these pains that i feel like i am being stabbed in the va-jay-jay with a sharp knife or that my baby is trying to drop one body part at a time through it. he then tells me that i tested negative for the strep b. i tell him i haven't even done the strep b test yet and ta boot, i tested positive for it and i had to have the antibiotic in my iv with parker. he covers that by saying "but your baby tested negative." yes that is true, parker tested negative, or at least i think he did. he was fine after delivery.

then we talk about my last delivery and my plan for this one. i said parker's birth went pretty well, not a lot of pain thanks to my epidural, but a little trouble when pushing him out...they had to use the suction thingy bc he had his right hand up by his face, bent at the elbow. dr. dinero says a fancy word to impress me as to his position, i don't care. i told him "suction" he thinks i said "c-section" which leads to another pointless conversation. he then asks if i plan on having an epidural the second time around, i say yes. he starts into a convo about how it is hard to push, blah blah blah and how long did i push with parker. i tell him that my huband tells me it was about 20 minutes which suprises dr. dinero. i tell him that i could feel the onset of the contractions and it wasn't difficult, it was the fact that his arm was in the way. i did forget to mention the huge tear that came from the whole thing, but i'm sure if he were to read my chart correctly, he would see that.

i went to schedule my next apt. though and mary set me up with dr. prior next time so i'm just going to mention that i don't feel comfortable with the new tool bag and i'd rather, if at all possible, if he could be the one to deliver.

it was very nice though to have the nurse tell me that she wants me to get prego again so they can see me in the office bc they like me. i told her i'd visit and i really didn't want to be prego again or at least a long time from now. never say never. she told me i was going to jinx myself. i love it there! (minus the new dude)

What A Day!

Today Scott wanted to take Parker to visit Salt Fork. We thought he would enjoy a picnic so we started on our way, only to stop half way there because he started puking all over himself about 20 minutes down the road. It was terrible! It smelled so bad that I almost started puking so there Scott was one covered in puke, one about to puke and a car filled with puke. After I felt better, I stripped Parker down to his dipey while Scott cleaned out the carseat. We had to wash everything, including the baby when we got home. Let's just say, Parker has not had the best week. He has been to the ER, fallen down a hundred times, got his finger stuck in the handle of the diswasher, choked on french fries, puked on himself, found his scream and I'm pretty sure he is cutting about four teeth right now. Needless to say, Scott and I are ready for school to start. He was on the verge of being shipped to Granny and Poppy's yesterday, but somehow we made it through. Start praying for us.

Could This Be My Mother?

Dr. Apt

Today I had yet another Dr. apt. I will go back on the 5th for my next belly check.

Dr. Prior said everything is looking good. It appears as if the baby is measuring bigger than average. I hope that means that she wants to come early. :)

Scott The Builder

Can you believe the difference? Scott has been working so hard and it has paid off. He is so handy. The only thing that is left is to put the trim around the window and the shower doors on. We now have a bigger vanity, a huge mirror, new lights, paing and awesome tub. He is such a good hubby and daddy. He is going to need a vacation.
