1 More Day! And He's Here!



In the morning we go in to be induced! I am so excited! Finally.:) My Wonderful Mom and Dad came up this last Tuesday to be with me and help with the boys. And Scott came home Saturday night! It is so nice to have him home again! Its amazing how much the boys are better behaved now, they sure have missed him. Right now they are out on a walk into the forest( little wooded area by the rec center)looking for owl feathers and bugs with their daddy and grandpa, then theyre going to go out scouting for a fishing hole. Super cute! The boys are having so much fun, and I am getting my bag put together for the hospital. We'll post pictures sometime tomorrow- well we'll try- good intentions and all right?


Yesterday for the 4th of July we went to church and came home and had a nice homecooked meal of roast and potatoes and then we went to the fireworks up at sunnyside. The kids loved the firetrucks and the fireworks were pretty good.


The kids were super funny about them though. Spencer was scared by the noise and ran and hid behind Grandpa. And Cameron hid under his blanket, he refused to watch. Then after some calming down and realizing that the fireworks would not fall on us Spencer really got into them. Heres some pics of our day! Yea! I have the camera back!

Non Stress Tests

So twice a week I go to the hospital and have a non stress test done, just for safety. So far, all has been well and its nice to meet the nurses who are there. Today however, was stressful for me, because it took them a long time to find the babys heartbeat, and then after 30 minutes on they came and told me that they werent getting any significant movements and that they had paged the doctor and were setting me up for an ultrasound. They also told me my blood pressure was really high-Yikes-but after retesting it 2-3 times more it was regular. The doctor called back, and said to continue on for another 20 minutes and then do the ultrasound. So now Im thinking ok, I need to call my friend and see if they can watch my kids longer, call Scott and tell him to come now, and have my parents come earlier. So as Im debating who to call first, the little slugger comes alive. And they get all the readings they need to know he's ok and I am released to come home, needless to say it was a very stressful non stress test.

38 weeks- Which means 1 more week!

I am getting very excited for this little bun to be done cooking. I am 38 weeks today and next week at this time he will be here! I am excited too, because Scott will be home Saturday night and it has been a long 8 weeks without him! I guess its just life prepping me for 4th year. But nonetheless, he'll be home! And my parents are coming up tomorrow to stay and be with me and the boys. Mostly the boys I think,(but isn't that how it's supposed to be?):)
The boys have been really cute this week-weekend. They have been playing like babies. Wrapping each other up in blankets, talking and making screeching noises and just having to much fun. I asked them why they were so interested in being babies all the sudden, and they said its because they cant wait for their baby to be here! How cute is that. The boys have been gaging when their little brother will be coming---on the fireworks. We had told them, Dad will be home, Grandpa & Grandma will come, we'll watch the fireworks together and then brother will be here. So we were driving by a fireworks booth and the boys got all excited for fireworks and wanted to get some. I told them they weren't open yet and we'd get some this weekend. So that night at dinner, Spencer says, "Mom, I want to light off fireworks tonight." Remember Spence, we don't have any, it's not time yet. " Well mom, I want my daddy to come home and the baby here, so i want to light them off tonight so they'll come." Spence you are too cute, I love how your little mind works.
last night we had soup and french bread for dinner. I was setting the table, and Spencer goes and gets his apron on because he's a baker too, so of course, Cameron's right behind him getting his on. They left the kitchen and I finish getting dinner on the table and I turn around in the living room to see that they have set the table, the coffee table for dinner. They tell
me they are the waiters,and we will eat after we really eat. So after dinner, they bring me to their restaurant and tell me I need to sit down on the floor to eat. I told them I couldn't, that I needed to put my feet up(super swollen at this time of night), and he says oh that's ok. We have special pillows for swollen feet. So they pull out the big TV pillows and I willingly oblige. Cameron follows me pushing on my bum, and I say what are you doing, and he says well we have to help you like we helped Grandpa at the restaurant.LOL Grandpa's 92:) They made me a delicious hamburger, with juice to help my swollen feet, fruit, and vegetables. We then switched roles after and I served them. I know I'm rambling, but it was just too cute not to tell and give the details.
This week we pulled the slip n' slide out and the sprinkler and had a lot of fun. But the dear old slip n slide died,it was torn when some bigger kids came to play. But we had fun. I learned also that Cameron is allergic to Coppertone sunscreen. It only took me 2 days to figure it out poor kid. I'm going to blame it on me being prego and spacey, but he's fine, he just has a face that is very sensitive. It either doesn't bother him or he has a high pain tolerance.

Looking for suggestions

Ok, I am looking for suggestions on baby names. All of the ones I like, Scott doesnt, and the ones he likes are not ones I like, soooo.... I need some inspiration. Any suggestions will be greatly accepted, from weird to unusual to classic or whatever. Of course, we will always wait to see what he looks like and see if the name fits, but its nice to have some different ideas, and frankly I think the more boys we have, the more help we'll need:)

And to explain the poll- I like the name Bryant, but Scott says EVERYONE will think we named him after Kobe Bryant. So I just wanted to see what everyone thought when they heard that name. I dont think I'll ever get that one, but it will be fun to show Scott when he gets back:) Thanks everyone!

Ok this is a poll

When you hear the name Bryant what's the first thing that pops into your mind?

36 wks and counting

So yesterday i snuck in a doctors visit while the boys were napping with a sitter. That stinks to pay someone to sit and read, but oh well. Sorry thats a whole different story. The visit was good. I've had two low blood sugar episodes this week, so they are becoming more frequent, but the doctors not too worried about it. I am to switch back over to heprin for the last two weeks so that if I go early they can counter it with a shot. And my blood pressure is still good. So were doing great. The doctor said the 5th or 6th of July are the days most likely to induce and he will decide next week. I have been having a lot more braxton hicks contractions lately and they are no fun-especially at two in the morning:) Ahh what we do to be mothers. On a happier note, Scott is done with his first internship in Burley. He left this morning to go to West Jordan to see his Dad and spend Father's Day weekend with him. Monday he will go on to Evanston for a two week internship with his friend Eric. So were almost able to have him back home with us.. in two more weeks. He had a lot of fun there and the vets were really good to him, so it was a good experience. I hope this next ones just as good. He will get home 1-2 days before this little boy is here. So hopefully we dont go early.

Happy Birthday Cameron!

Yesterday was Camerons 3rd Birthday! I cant believe how fast time fly's! We had a very fun full day of making rolls(which he loves & requested to do),help bake his cake, play with all the balloons he woke up to! Lunch, Naps, and just for fun we went to the Shrek 3 movie. Which is not one I would recommend to anyone.Even Spencer asked if we could leave and go home in between. But it was fun to go out to a movie. Cameron opened his presents of mickey mouse pjs, a mickey mouse clubhouse dvd, candy, and the "Doc" car from Cars. We went and got a pizza & rootbeer from Papa Murphys and came home and had dinner and cake & cupcakes! We then got ready for our sleepover(A.K.A. Party) in the living room. We watched his new movie and he wore his new pajamas and it was a blast! Thanks to everyone for the fun phone calls and packages! Cameron was so excited to get a balloon bouquet delivered to him as well!I still dont have the camera back, but I will try to download the ones from my phone during naps!

So just some info on Cameron right now. He is 3 ft tall. 29lbs. and potty trained! Way to go kid! He is very independent and picky, he has to do completely everything his way or else. The texture thing is getting better, but hes still a little o.c.d. He is a ton of fun and my cuddle bug. His big brother is his best friend, and I love how well they play together. He loves going to church and pretending. He loves to pretend he's an animal. anything from a dog to a lion to a mole. He can handle his own as well, he's our little scrapper and loves to wrestle. He is amazing at hide n seek and his daddy calls him the hounder because he always finds everyone. Right now he is on his stick horse asking me to pet him, cause now he has to go back to heaven... on his horse!:)LOL I love you Cameron! You are adorable and I am so glad you are a part of our family!Happy Birthday bud!
