3 days and counting..

Ok so what I have learned is that Logan is going to be just as stubborn and hard headed as Dallin is. He wants no part of being born. I really cant blame him I mean he is totally content just hanging out in my belly all day eating well staying warm. But what drives me nuts is that I am already dilated to a 3 if not more. I go back to the doctor tomorrow afternoon to see if there has been any progress and see whats going on. Anyways on top of being dilated and effaced 90% He has defiantly dropped and my membranes have all come out. The only thing that is missing is that I have yet to have a contraction aahhh lol.

I have had alot of cramping but I have been having that for a few months now. And I thought maybe with all these crappy storms that would have done it. Oh no still nothing so last week when I thought there is no way that I am going to make it to the 28th. Sadly I am now planning on that as the day. We will see what she says tomorrow but it looks like Friday morning I will be going in to be started. It should be really fast because of the progress that I have already had but you never know with these things. But im totally excited and nervous at the same time and I cant wait to meet him in only 3 short days :)

How did this happen?

Dallin was taking a nap the other day on the couch and I walked in to check on him and thought to myself how is it possible for my 4 and a half year old is almost the whole length of the couch. Oh its so sad. He has grown so much in the past six months and is so going to be taller then me in only a few years... It feels like he was just born :(

Hanging out with Avery..

Dallin is always excited to see his new cousin Avery and loves to give her kisses and hugs. Here are a few pics of how she is growing. The top two are from when she was only a week old and the bottom pics are from today when she is 3 weeks old. I cant believe how much she is already changing...

Say Cheese

Dallin was playing with the camera and decided to take a few self portraits this is what I found on the memory card today lol.

Fun at the park..

We went to the park over the weekend to feed the ducks and hang out in the sun. We finally had some warm weather Dallin had a great time feeding the ducks goats and birds. And also had fun playing baseball with David.

Baby Aleeya...

David's little sister Lisa and her husband Erik had there sweet baby girl last Thursday on May 13th. It was in the morning so we were able to go up to the hospital and meet our new niece and cousin before David had to go to work. She is so sweet and has so much hair :) Dallin thinks that its pretty crazy that everyone is having babies in the family but he loves it.





The happy family.

...Mothers Day 2010.....

Ok so I know that I am a little behind but we had that a problem with our computer that and so I wasn't able to post any pics forever and that's why I am just now doing it.....

Anyways Mothers day was a good day I got up and had Peach french toast mmm and then David and Dallin gave me my presents. They made me an apron and Dallin painted me a monkey.. Dallin also gave me a red rose but it died before I remembered to take a picture of it oops...

Then we visited my mom and then went to Davids parents for dinner it was a good mothers day :)

38 week baby update.. Its getting close...

So we went to the doctor this morning for our regular checkup and besides the fact that our chart got out of order and the doctor was almost an hour late coming into the room aahhh haha all went well. Dallin of course did his part in helping find the heartbeat and did a great job. I love to see his face every week when he hears the heart beat. Its just pure innocent happiness. So sweet then the doctor checked my cervix and I am now dilated to a 3 and 90% effaced.

So pretty much she said that I was ready to go. My appointment is still scheduled for next Friday the 28th but we are pretty sure that I am not going to make it to then and that I will be going into labor within the next few days. I am really nervous to go into labor naturally but I guess it will be a new experience. I hope that he waits tell at least Saturday because David has work off starting Saturday until June and so as long as David is here I will feel alot better about going into labor...

Its always scary not knowing how its going to happen. Its always so different for everyone I would like for my water to break and then that way I know there is no going back and you can go as early as you want to the hospital and know that they are not going to turn you away. The other way is when you just start to have contractions and not really know if its real or what and then not knowing when to go to the hospital. It just all seems like a bunch of unknown but I guess I will see within the week sometime.

I always knew that I would not go to my due date with Logan I just had the feeling that he would be on his own schedule and so I was really anxious to go to my appointment today to see how much I have progressed. And so needless to say its getting close and knowing I could go into labor any time is exciting but scary.

could be good

So I am happy to say that Dallin has slept in his bed 6 times this month. I know that this doesn't seem like much considering its the 14th and all but its huge for him. It would be alot more but he always sleepwalks into the bedroom around 4 or 5 in the morning and I don't have the energy or patience right now to fight with him after I didn't sleep all night anyways.

He slept in his bed again last night that's two nights in a row. He knows that when he gets 5 stickers in a row that we will bring him to Jumping Jacks so he is excited for that. He has been trying to get 5 stickers in a row all year now :(

Also you know that he is growing up when he was happy to get 5 pennies everytime he slept in his bed. Then his price went up to 10 then 20 and now its just jumped up to a dollar. So as soon as he wakes up he comes in our room and says I slept in my bed all night im so proud I want scared of the monsters now where is my dollar lol

If anyone has any tricks to keep there kids in there bed all night please let me know because it feels like we have tried everything and nothing is working. His problem is that he is scared of monsters. He just sits in his room and cries and cries that something is going to get him.

So helpful hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Because once Logan is here I need him to stay in there with him. So that I can try and get in maybe 2 or 3 hours of sleep a night :( lol

37 week baby update

I went to my Dr app on Wednesday with my fingers crossed that she would say yes lets move your date up to the 20th. Well that didn't happen Logan in back on track for growing and so she said that she has no medical reason to move up my induction two weeks before my due date. Oh well we have another appointment on the 19th and see how it is going. She said that if I start to progress fast by then she could still put it in and start me on the 20th :)

She said that I was now dilated to a 2 and effaced 80 % . I really feel like he is not going to wait until the 28th (the date that I am scheduled to go in now) and so that gives me stress. I think that it would be fun to just go into labor naturally this time just to have a different experience. But I am just really worried that David will be at work and I wont have time to get Dallin to the babysitters plus drive the 25 min to get to the hospital and still have time to get my drugs lol.

I know that people do it everyday but I am the type of person that likes to have everything planned and ready to go. Not a spur of the moment type. So I am having lots of stress about that. I also have been having alot of cramping I think its because Logan is starting to drop so far down and get into place to come out and so I know that he is going to come when he is ready and that could be tomorrow next week or right now ahhhh lol.

Also with all the babies being born in my family it makes me start to wonder what I was thinking having another baby lol. I love the fact that Dallin does pretty much everything for himself. You forget how much work it is to do everything for the baby. It makes me a little nervous I know that I will be excited when he is home and all is going well but its just crazy how much you forget. Oh well we are all excited and I cant wait to meet Logan and give him lots of hugs and kisses. Its been a long stressful pregnancy and I cant wait for it to be over :)

37 week utrasound pics.

This morning I had my last ultrasound to determine when I am going to be scheduled to be induced. I don't find that out until tomorrow when I go back to see my doctor. But I wanted to share the amazing pics that we got today.

The nurse was checking everything and said that everything looked good and then got this first picture profile and said lets see if we can get a better pic for you and switched paddles and got the last two pics for us in 4D. Me and David we not expecting it to pop up on the screen and so we were both just staring at Logan in amazement Dallin thought that it was really cool to see Logan like this and we could not believe how much he looks like Dallin. Yikes is scary lol

He measured today at 6lbs 3oz.....

... Prego Pics....

Considering that Logan could come any day now I decided that I needed to

get my pregnancy pictures taken. So I asked Heidy if she would come and

take some for us and she was happy to do it. Here are a few of my favorites.

...36 week doctor visit...

I went to the doctor this morning for my 36 week check up and had to have my strep culture done and she also checked my cervix to see whats going on in there. So we went in and she said that they were doing a study that whoever "donated" there sample from the strep culture to the lab for testing got a $10.00 gift card to target. So of course we did it why not right? So that was cool and we should know the results next week on how it looks.

As for the cervix she said that I am 70% effaced and dilated to a one. I still have 3 and a half weeks to go tell my actual due date so I was not expecting it to be that high already but she said that all looked good. And as always Dallin was so excited to help find the heartbeat and he finds it right on everytime. Maybe he will be a doctor one day :)

I go in next Tuesday for my ultrasound that's going to determine when I will schedule to be induced. She has my scheduled now for May 28th and then depending on what we see on the ultrasound or if I continue to dilate they will move it up to May 20th. Unless of course he decides to surprise us all and just come whenever he wants. Oh I really hope that's not the case. Its not so much that I am worried about what will happen but more that I really want my Doctor to deliver me and she is off work alot this month and so I don't want it to happen on a day that she is gone. Oh well we will see I guess if all goes as planned and I make it to the 28th I only have 23 days to go......

Craft Time.

So with the baby coming any time now I decided that I better get his room finished so Dallin helped me paint his name so that we can hang it up on the wall. I still need to do some sanding on them but they are almost done.
