Whats going on?

This is what we have been up too. I have been going to the Dr. twice a week to do a non stress test, and then once for my appointment. so I have been living at the Dr. office. Lets just say the rest of the staff felt so terribly left out that they also wanted to get to know me better. (the P.A. and one of the nurses were my roommates in college)
Last Thursday I went into the hospital again for a few hours with the threat of them going to induce me again. I did beg to him to please let me go one more day so I could go to twilight. Once I did get to the hospital they didn't have room for me so I hung out in the recovery room for a few hours to be monitored again. They started an IV and took some more blood for testing. Things looked GREAT! So when the Dr. came over to check on me he told me to go home and keep doing what I was doing the longer we keep the baby in right now the better chance we have of taking him home with us.
I went to the Dr. again on Monday and things with the baby looked really good we will keep doing non stress tests to make sure the baby is okay.
Me on the other hand... I looking rather swollen and huge. My blood pressure is doing good and all the other stuff they check is slowly going up but not in huge leaps and bounds. On Monday I will find out when my appointment is for an amniocentesis. It will be Tuesday or wend. of next week if the lungs are developed then they will induce me. So hopefully we will be having a baby next week. Am I ready? no.... are you really ever.... I don't know.

Baby Update

We went to the Dr. yesterday to do a growth ultra sound. The baby is doing fine, actually better then fine the little guy is about 7 lbs and 9 oz! He still has 5 weeks till Due date. He has turned ,at the hospital he was sideways, so now he is head down. We will be going into the Dr. twice a week to monitor the baby and to see how I am doing. So we will be playing it by ear. I really want to wait till after Friday..... One word Twilight! :) Then lets see if we can make it after Thanksgiving.
Yesterday my blood pressure was really good so I was happy about that but they still need to watch me close and I still need to be taking it easy.

How is Kenidee doing with all this? We have talked to her about a baby brother coming. We talk about it alto. She is picking out toys in Christmas magazines for her brother, she tells me she will give him binkis and change his poopy pants. YIPPEE!!! :) she talks to him in my belly, tells him jokes and laughs... but She has to have me, she wants me to do everything. Before I could never put her to bed at night she only wanted Robin,now she just wants me. She has been acting up and being quite sassy. Some people have told me that they have experienced this, the child knows that things are going to be changing soon. We will just have to take one day at a time. I guess that is the story of our lives now adays.

Now about the house! Justen my older brother helped Robin a few nights last week and all day saturday. Thank you J, and Bri for letting him come help. So on Saturday they got our house all sheet rocked! I don't know do you take pictures of white walls. I might go out and do that. It is starting to look like a house! We have people come in and tape and texture it. Now we have 4 houses sheet rocked and 5 to go! They have got our fence posts up and most of the wood between the posts in. We are waiting on contractors and inspections on 3 of the houses they are really far behind ours, but hopefully soon we will be able to start working on the other houses

What a day!

Yet another post with out pictures. I do have one Thank you Bri but no one needs to see it.



I went to the dr. on Monday for the usual check up and my blood pressure was high, we did some blood work and a few other samples were taken. Then yesterday I got a call from the dr. office telling me that I needed to call them back ASAP. Not a good sign. When I did talk to the Dr.'s office they told me that my blood test came back ok but there was way to much protein in my sample. I was told that I needed to get to the hospital as soon as I could and they would run a few more test and I would be having a baby. Needless to say I was scared. This is six weeks early! I am so not ready for a baby, I still have so much to do, and will he be ready so soon.
With lots of help from family and my sister in law bri I made it to the hospital in one piece, and laughing. Robin met us there. When we got there they were waiting for us. They got me all settled and on a machine to take my blood pressure every ten min. and to monitor the baby. They took more blood to do more tests( I sure wish my old roommie melissa was there she is so good at taking blood, she has done it a few times at the dr office for me.) We were at the hospital for 4 hours trying to find out if I was going to have a baby or not. The reason they didn't start me as soon as I got there is because I told them the baby was breach so they were trying to figure out what my dr. really wanted to do.
The blood test came back normal and my blood pressure was really good. The Dr. came in to see me and we chatted for a bit and he put me on bed rest and Told me that we want to try to keep the baby in for at least 2 more weeks. I was so relieved that we weren't going to be having a baby last night.
I do have to be careful, the Doc said they baby will come sooner then later but not so early. I am so glad that things turned out so much better.
Robin took the day off to help me get things in order so I can be on bed rest, he has helped me clean get laundry done and is out grocery shopping. For those of you close you know how much stress robin has been under, but now I can't go out to the house and help get hours so if anyone wants to drywall we will be doing it for awhile we would really appreciate help, he can't do it all alone.

Funny thing...

Kenidee loves her baby brother.... we hope. Just a little bit ago she came to me and started talking to my tummy. Appaently this wasn't good enough.... She had to lift my shirt and stick her headup my shirt and pull my shirt over her head to talk to her baby brother. this is what she said ......
Hello baby brother..... What's your name?....SANTA! Giggle giggle. Hello santa I name DEE DEE. (kisses my tummy)uncovers her head and runs away laughing.
A huge thank you to her Aunt Bri who has convinced Kenidee that her baby brothers name is Santa.
We haven't picked out A name we have a whole grocery list of names, we just want to see the little boy and then maybe we could agree on one. Lets just hope he isn't stuck with Santa.

getting caught up.

You may or may not want to read all of this but I wanted to write about some funny things Kenidee has done or said. I seem to forget things so... this blog is my new journal. :)
Kenidee and I went out to the house to see Robin, Kenidee hadn't seen him in a few days. When we got there Robin opened the back door and was talking to Kenidee and she said to Robin "daddy get in. So Robin squished himself in the back seat and then she told him "daddy shut the door." He did then she yells to me "MOMMY DRIVE!" Yep I guess she really missed him to want us to kidnap her daddy.

Before Halloween we went to a few carnivals one for the ward and one at hawthorn Elementary in Idaho falls. (rebecca joined the PTA.) Kenidee really loved both of them. She loved looking at all the kids. She loved playing games. She would tell me mom look at that scary witch.... she's a funny witch.

Kenidee was a little skunk and when you would ask her what a skunk says she would say P.U. then shake her little bumm and make a little pst pst noise. thanks you beck. Yes that is me standing behind her so I guess you could say it is a family picture.




We had a great Halloween but my camera was dead so I will have to steal pictures from Bri and post them later.

A week or so ago we were at my moms taking advantage of the nice weather and sun shine when kenidee and I decided to go and Rake up my grandparents leaves. She didn't not like this at all last year but this year she was in heaven she would run jump, tell me to cover her all up, and when I did she would laugh and laugh. Did I take pictures sure did.... on my dad's camera so once again I will have to post them later. So while we were playing my grandpa Bruce came home. Kenidee calls him Papa Bear. When she saw him being dropped off at the house she took off running yelling PAPA BEAR! PAPA BEAR! She runs into his arms and he lifts her up kisses her and gives her a little toss in the air. Kenidee loves to have papa bear read to her. she will sit and listen to him story after story after story. She really loves her Papa Bear. He always tells her and everyone around her that she has such beautiful hair. He loves it. I am so glad that Kenidee gets to have a relationship with such a wonderful man.

Now for a big story......The dentist told us it was time for Kenidee to get rid of the binky so I was thinking of ways to do it with out breaking her heart or mine. So on halloween I was looking on youtube to find something that she could see what would happen to her binky and I found this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaXSUWb5btY Kenidee and I watched it like 7 times then she got off my lap went and got her binkys out of bed and ran into the kitchen and said I throw them away k mommy, and chucked them into the garbage! My mind was going crazy, do I get them out, do I really want to do this on Halloween it is going to be such a long night. My mom was going to be watching Kenidee for nap times do I dare do that to my mom. I decided to keep them in the garbage. After Kenidee was gone to my moms I took them out and hid them but I have found 3 or 4 binkys around the house and have hid them as well.
she had done really well she has only asked for them a few times then she says "Dede threw them in the garbage, I a big girl huh mom." It has gone better then I thought it would but night time has been a little harder she wants to be rocked but I guess that is better then yuckie teeth.

We are doing good. We have been super busy. I sure hope we still have friends after the building of the house. We spend every spare minute out at the house.I can't wait till we are done. We should start sheet rocking this week. Some people say it will be so fast now and others say this is the longest part. I am trying to get everything picked out(carpet tile lights etc.) before December so I can focus on the baby and getting ready for him, and Christmas and the many birthdays that are to come.
