Are we done yet

We are almost one month out since Kaitlen broke her leg and all I can ask is ARE WE DONE YET. I'm so ready for her to be healed its not even funny, I'm tired of getting her to and from school, getting her up the stairs down the stairs, in the car out of the car, in the shower out of the shower. Most of all I'm sick of her wheel chair I feel like her chair is ALWAYS in the way I trip on it at least once a day. Poor girl gets so board that she just stares at me or she rolls as fast as she can from the kitchen to the couch over and over again. If I'm this annoyed you can only imagine how Katie is feeling needless to say the next few months need to hurry along.

But I Like Him A lot

Just in case you all aren't counting my little guy is five months old now. He has not only stolen my heart but the heart of his three older sisters as well. We had Miss Haven for summer and she not only helped me with his bath everyday but she also picked out his clothes. Haven loved his 'boy' clothes so much that she tried to wear them after deciding she was to big for them she would lay them on her chest and pretend she was wearing them. Haven loves Caden so much that she would hold on to his arms and rap to him K-I-S-S-I-N-G over and over again she saw that on Americas Got Talent.

Then we have Kaitlen who informs me that she has NO MORE big sister left in her and if we decided to have another baby she is living at her Grandmas. She says that he needs to much attention and that every one just thinks he is sooooo cute. But she can't leave for school without giving him hugs and the first thing she does when she gets home is talks to him. He response to her evey time he really likes Kaitlen they growl at one another and she was the first one to get him to laugh!

Now we have Payten she over loves him, its so bad that I don't dare shower when he is awake, one time I came out of the bedroom and she had his little swing going so fast that poor Cade was white knuckling it. She is always wanting to see his "boy parts" and just yesterday she got hold of a marker and drew all over his face. I thought she was playing with him while he was in his bouncer but no she was coloring him brown. Payten won't share HIS toys with him and she has taken over every one of his Binky's I'll look over and she is sucking on his blue 0-3 month Binky. Her best line is but mom I just like him a lot. She has tried to nurse him and when he is crying she thinks biting him is the best way to get him to stop. Over all we have great girls they just really love their brother!

Oh my Gosh Caden is almost three months old

Almost three months ago my little boy was born. Our family changed forever that day, we went from a family of little girls to a family with a BOY and little girls! Those first few weeks I was so tired and overwhelmed I wasn't sure how I was going to care for each of them. But three months later I have figured it out. As Kaitlen says "I'm getting used too having Caden around" He is my little buddy, he wakes up every morning around 5:30 - 6:00 he always greets me with a smile. I think those few hours we have together in the morning before the girls wake up are so special. He will talk to me and give me his best smiles that melt my heart every time. He loves to be held tight when he is tired within minutes he is sound asleep. We are so grateful he has been given to our family.

Long Lost Blog

If you can't tell we don't have Internet at our new place so my blog never gets updated. However if you follow my moms you all should know that our little man was born a month ago on the 11Th. He is such a sweet baby, I am so blessed to have him. He sleeps pretty good for me, and if he is awake at night he is just so cuddly that I don't mind the lack of sleep. Just like I had suspected he has John's ears it is crazy how genetics work. Did I mention how much I love him!! I find myself getting peeded on a few times a day; Crystal informed me it's because I'm to slow at changing him. She is right I'm not used to 'boy' parts and am afraid of hurting him I guess I can be alittle aggressive and he won't get hurt. I find myself crying when I do is laundry I love seeing ALL blue inside the washer I didn't think having a little boy would melt my heart the way it has. My first two babies cried so much and never slept that I'm on cloud nine that Caden sleeps and hardly ever cries I had know idea a baby could be so happy. Heavenly Father knew I needed a calm, happy baby this time around.

The light at the end of the tunnel

5 more weeks, yes folks we are on the count down to Delivery Day. I am so excited; this baby has been one roller coaster after another to carry, but I'm so thankful I have been able to carry him this long! I still don't know if I will have to have a c-section, at my last appointment he was estimated to weigh 6Lbs 10oz that's how much my girls weighed at 40 weeks. I had another blood sugar test Wednesday I'll find out the results of that next Wednesday. If my blood sugar comes back high then I will have to go to the doctor twice a week and check my blood sugar 4x a day. If I do have diabetes then that means the baby will have to stay in the NICU after birth because his blood sugar will be high. I am trying to prepare myself that I might not get to take him home right away, I keep on telling myself at least I will be able to take him home, and he will be healthy. So that's it for now, oh yeah I did turn 29 a few weeks ago, I'm not sure what has hapened to my 20's they just flew by thats for sure!

My Favorite Child is.......

After what I claim to be the longest weekend of my life I have decided that even though my baby isn't here yet he is my favorite child of the weekend. He didn't scream, fight, bite or even roll his eyes at me. Instead he gave me heartburn and his leg and butt are smashing my right lung so every time I bend down I can't breath and think I'm going to pass out. He still wins my favorite child award! Can you tell it has been a LONG weekend.

30 week ultrasound

Last Tuesday we had our last ultrasound, I was excited because "last ultrasound" means I'm almost done. Mom and John went with me, I love seeing the baby at 30 weeks they are so much bigger then the 19 week ultrasound I can always see so much more detail. For instance our little boy has some big ears they were poking out, I hate to say he has John's ears because you can't really know that until they are older but from the picture they sure look like his Daddy's ears. After some joking around and the tech giving John his first heart attack, she told him our baby was a girl. For about ten seconds he was speechless then he realized she was joking around with him.

After my ultrasound I had to wait to see the doctor, Mom and I waited for an hour I was getting ready to leave when the doctor finally came in. (John had taken Payten out she was STARVING) I was expecting her to get on to me for gaining 2 pounds over the last month {BTW I have only gained 4 pounds}but instead she started off saying my last blood test were good and the baby was over three pounds. Then she told us that the ultrasound had showed that the baby has to much water around him. That my water level is a 20 and they like to see it around 10-13. I didn't know what this meant I had only ever heard of low water levels not to high. Without trying to freak me out she said it could mean that the baby isn't swallowing and to please not look it up on the Internet because it will only freak me out more. SO as promised I have NOT looked, John has, and he has told me somethings but I have also promised him I wouldn't look it up. We have another ultrasound on the 19Th to check the water level if the water gets to a 30 all I know is that they might induce labor, or try to drain the extra water other then that I don't want to know because 65% of babies born with high water levels are 100% healthy. I'm only blogging about this for journaling purposes I haven't even talked about it with anyone other then John and as he says I WORRY way to much. So on the 19Th I get to see my little guy again I hope we can see his face this time and that my water level is down to a healthy level.
