Matthew's 1st day of preschool

I can't even believe I'm saying this but yes our son had his first day of per school on 9/6/12. He will be going on Thursday's and Friday's from 9:15-11:45. He had a blast his first day but I can't say that my heart was not broken because he is growing up way too fast for me. I still remember giving birth to this sweet little man. It's very hard to see him off in school now. He has really enjoyed it and I love seeing all the art he comes home with everyday!! He had his 1st show and tell today and he brought his buzz light year!! It was so cute! We got some really cute pictures of him! Enjoy!

Brooklynn's 2nd Birthday party

Brooklynn is really into Minnie mouse right now so I thought It would be a lot of fun for her to have a Minnie mouse party! It took so time putting it all together but It turned out cute for being 36 week pregnant :).
We did a brunch thing this year and it turned out really well and it was fun to try something new instead of a lunch thing like we do every year for birthday parties.
I had a few crafts out for all the kids. I made sparkle play dough and red play dough, bubble's with all kinds a wands and then I put out some flower pots so the kids could decorate flower pots and out out some flowers to plant inside them!
Her birthday cake was made by my sister-law's friend Dodi. I was so impressed with what she did! It was amazing for just doing this on the side.
All in all I think Brooklynn had a good time at her party! Can't wait to show her all the pictures when she gets bigger!











Camping with the Patterson's

I don't know how I forgot to post this one but I guess I did. Anyways we went camping with David's family in August we went with Rob, Judy, Jeff, Deb, Janelle and the five dogs (I think 5 maybe 4). The weather was perfect sometimes It got a little hot for this pregnant mama.  We all enjoyed the outdoors the for sure. Can't wait to do it again and not being pregnant next time!!

Brooklynn turn's TWO

Holy cow how did this happen so fast?! She is growing up so fast! We started our morning off with waking her up to sing Happy Birthday and then she got some balloons and a birthday gift from brother! After all that fun we made french toast and I put a few sprinkles on it to make it a little more fun, daddy also got her stawberry milk she sure loved that!

We got ready for the day and head to the point defiance zoo. She loved this until the end were she started to get a little tired and then the anmails started to scare her. We went home and had a nap and after her name she got to open gifts from mommy and daddy, Oh did she think this was the coolest thing ever! She enjoyed everything that she got and so did Matthew ;-).

We got our families together to have dinner at the rainforest cafe. She didn't like it at first but then got use to it! When she was all done eating she got to have a lava mud she ate that right up!

Over all she had a really good day! On Sat she will be having a Minnie Mouse (brunch) party with her friends and family! We have a lot of fun things planned for all the kids coming!

35 weeks

Well we made it to the 9th month of this pregnancy! YAY! I can't tell you how excited I'm to be here! Only a few more weeks until a little one will be here!! I'm over the top ready to have this baby in my arms and find out if it's a boy or girl!! What a wonderful surprise!
Matthew keeps telling me that baby is going to be here soon! I can't wait until he comes and see that new baby at the hospital!

I'm feeling okay. I started to feel really heavy with the growing belly. I have a lot of braxton hicks contractions for over a month now, I can't wait until it turns into the real deal because its very uncomfortable and hard to do much of anything when I get them so often. I have been having doctor appointment's every Monday and Thursday. On Monday's they have been checking weight and the amniotic fluid around the baby. On Thursday I have been doing non-stress test where they just watch the heartbeat for over a hour to make sure it's not dropping. Everything has been checking out good when I go so that is a good thing!! We had a EKG a few weeks ago and they found a heart murmur but they said it should heal it's self but they will want to check it again after baby is born.

Our bags are pack and the car seat is in the car! Any day now!!


No there is not twin's in there. Doctor just said you grow a lot fast with the more babies you have. Oh wonderful ;-)

31 weeks

Well we are getting so close to 8 months!! Only a few more months left until we can find out if we are having a BOY OR GIRL yay!! People keep asking me if I have a feeling of what I think we are having and I keep thinking Boy but a lot of people keep telling me Girl so it's hard. With the other two I just knew but this time I have no idea. I just want to healthy baby and want to hold him or her! I'm very excited!

My best friend Jenn is throwing me a baby shower on August 18th that I'm so excited about! I'm very excited to see all my friends and family and the celebrate the new baby coming! I know she has a lot of fun things planned and the colors she is doing is yellow and gray! Super cute!! We are going to have the baby shower in my parents backyard this time just because I love being back there it's so pretty! My dad has done a very good job on it and a lot more room to move around and a playground for the kids to play at as the moms hang out!

I'm feeling okay. I'm still having contractions and pressure feeling like baby is going to fall out. It really hurts. I was up most of the night with really bad pressure and sharp pains. It got so bad that I almost went into the hospital because the pain was so bad but after doing some walking around the house and back to laying down It slowed down. I'm still uncomfortable and feeling the pressure and some shape pains but doctor said that I will feel everything with it being our 3rd baby. Starting on 8/21/12 I will be seeing the doctor two times a week for a non-stress-test to keep a eye on baby and they will check growth once every two weeks. I think I'm going to be packing our hospital bags soon just because of the way I have been feeling I would hate not to have my stuff our babies stuff ready. I know I still have time but I would rather be safe then sorry and I don't want something to pick out the things I need for the hospital just seems to be a pain.

David took these two pictures of me tonight and WOW I'm growing so fast and getting so big!! Ready to be done growing ;-).

28 weeks

Yay I made it! I'm in my 3rd trimester! I'm so very excited we are almost done! I can't wait to hold our little one and find out if it's a boy or girl! I know Matthew and Brooklynn are just going to love there new baby and I'm so very sure that they are going to be wonderful helpers!

I'm feel alright! I'm have days were I'm just over the top tired and some days I'm having contractions. Today 7/22/12 has been a really hard day for me. I have had a lot of contrations and just feeling not so well at all. The contractions are painful and last for maybe a minute but they are off and on.

We been having a lot of ultrasounds too keep track of the weight of the baby and the fluids around the baby are still were they should be. Also checking to see if I'm not dilated.

Our next appt is 7/30/12 for the EKG and then I see the OB again on 8/8/12. After that Dr appt I will be seeing the Dr two times a week. Yes you read that right TWO times a week! Whew that's going to be hard on the gas tank but it's best to keep track on baby to make things are going smooth!

Here is my 28 week picture! I'm growing very fast!
