38 Week update

I know I know....my blog is no fun because i don't have pictures up. Like I've said before its quite the process to get pics off my camera now because my dang computer wont read my memory card...so my apologies. However, there is so much i want to blog about with pictures but I'm 38 weeks prego and basically lazy, tired, and want this baby here!!!!. We had a wonderful spring break with Daddy being out of school for a whole week! We even had Tyler's brother and his wife come visit us during that week. We had so much fun with them and are so glad they came out to see us!

So at my 38 week check up I was still only dialated to a 2 and I had the Doc strip my membranes. Hasn't seem to get anything going yet. Tyler is having a hard time concentrating on studying because he wants this little guy here so badly. I don't blame him I'm getting anxious too! So there you have it...my sad, non-exciting update!!!

37 week update!

I just back from the doctor today and I was dialated to a 2 and 50% effaced. They were worried the baby wasn't head down so we got an ultrasound done and luckily enough he was head down. That was a huge relief for me. Anyway, it will probably still be a while before this little guy makes his debut but atleast i know my body is starting to get ready for it. It was kinda fun to hear that i was dialated more than a "tight 1" as my doctor back home told me everytime i went in up until the day i had Addie. Progress is happening! Wahoo! However..i'm not getting my hopes up!

2 YEAR OLDS STILL NEED NAPS.....ATLEAST THEIR MOMS THINK THEY DO!

I believe i have officially seen the last of Addie's nap days.....yes, very very sad indeed. Maybe its just me, but i could get so much more done knowing she was slumbering away for a long afternoon nap. It gets so hard for me to focus on the items on my "to do while Addie's asleep list" when I'm listening to her on the monitor tearing her room apart, and wondering what kind of mess i will be walking into when her hour + is up of "quiet time"(this is what her nap time has been replaced with.) I used to get lucky and every other day she would fall asleep during her quiet time...but those days are gone I'm afraid :( To all those Mothers out there who's 2 year olds still take naps...embrace and cherish that time for as long as you can....and to those mothers who are in my same boat...well what can i say, what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger right??!!!!

I've joined the ranks of Mini Van Moms

It was bound to happen at some point!

However, i couldn't be happier. Both

Tyler and I love driving it and it is exactly

what we were looking for!

"I like our new car!"

Makin' heart cookies with Dad!

Okay so I'm a little behind on my posting...

my camera hasn't been cooperating very

well hence the delay. Anyway, just thought

I'd share with you Addie's first time making

Heart shaped cookies...we got quite a kick out of it!

Having fun in the kitchen!

We pretty much let her go at it herself for

the first couple rounds. Don't they look

beautiful?!! This was her very

abstract way of cutting out the hearts! And don't miss

the little figure swipe in the lower right hand corner. Addie's

quick little hands kept swiping chunks of cookie dough!

A well spent Friday night with Daddy!

"CHEEESSSEEEE!" "YEAH FOR COOKIES"

A new roller just Addie's size!

Addies Birthday

First things first....there are so many pics

waiting on my camera for some sort of blog, however

due to our silly computer that wont read my SD card

anymore those will have to wait! I did manage to

get Addie's B-day pics off the camera so

here it goes!

It all started at Addie's favorite place to go.....

the Science Center (aka the fun fun fun place as

Addie refers to it). The morning of Addie's birthday

we packed up and headed to the Science Center with

some of Addie's little friends. They had a blast! I couldn't

think of a better way to start celebrating then to

take her to her favorite place! (Side note: Addie was

pretty much ornery the whole day due to lack of sleep). It

was making me so sad to see her so grumpy on her birthday!

Oh well, what do you do!

We left the Science Center and met up with Daddy

at his school to eat lunch together. He was on a tight

schedule that day but we made it just in time to get

some time and lunch in with him!

When daddy finally got home we ate dinner and started
Addie's birthday celebrations! We opened presents first
then had cake and ice cream!

Why bother getting you hands messy when you

can just dig in with your face!!!!!

Ya she ate her whole cake like this!!! it was hilarious!

The big "2" years old!!! Happy Birthday!

Showing her friend Chloe how its done! Tyler and I

have no idea where she learned to eat cake like this

but it was hilarious and she ate the whole thing like that!

Chloe attempting Addie's cake eating style!

Wouldn't you just love to do this and feel

like a kid again!! Look how happy these two are!

Birthday buddies!

We thought it would be fun to get these two little girls

together and celebrate since their birthdays are so close.

And what fun they had!

Over all Addie had a great birthday from playing with her

friends at the science center to opening presents with

Mom and Dad! Thanks to all those who helped make

Addie's birthday so fun and memorable!
