This week 8.24.14

We have been going CRAZY with all the rain. Mr. Kade joked that if the weather stayed this way we would have to name the baby Stormy. Nonstop rain over here! I don't mind other then the kids have been creating havoc due to being bored. 

We made it to the park once this week, when the rain stopped. 

To me they are the cutest little pair. 

Addyson is in love with that pig. She hasn't put it down for three weeks now! Washing it has been a battle, just like her blanket. 

Drake wouldn't let me take any good pictures of him playing. I'm to exahusted to fight it. 

Monday I went and got my hair colored so that my hospital pictures won't look horrible. I last minute decided to cut my hair off. :) 10 inches on a whim....that's how I roll! I like it, and it's still long enough that I can put it back in a ponytail. I can't believe how healthy it feels.

Not the best picture, but a selfie will have to do. 

Just a weeksish before baby and I'm swelling pretty bad. Really, I'm pretty blessed with how good i feel. 

I do feel like I will be pregnant forever tho. How is it that pregnancy drags at the end and then infants grow up in a blink??? Not fair at all. 

38 weeks cooking #3

Yesterday was a little bit scary. I went for my normal weekly check in. The last three weeks I have measured 35 weeks with a measuring tape.  I measured 35 weeks once again, and my midwife became concerned with the size of the baby. She ordered an ultrasound, and as I waited I prepared my husband on the phone, letting him know they might start me today.

As soon as the ultrasound started, the technician asked me, "are we worried babies too big?" 

I let her know that the baby has been measuring small. 

She quieted my concern by telling me that the baby was actually measuring fairly large.

According to baby size, I would be measuring 40 weeks 4 days. knowing I go late I figure my due date will be pretty close to the actual date baby arrives. 

They told me there is a large margin of error this late in an ultrasound. They said that sizing can be up to 15 ounces off. But baby measured 9 lbs. 9 oz. according to the ultrasound. How they determine measurement is an average of head size, leg size, and torso I believe. Where are my kids have giant heads when born, I'm hoping baby really isn't 9 pounds. That the head is just throwing off measurements. But we will have to wait and see. 

I was relieved after the ultrasound, and I was happy I got to see the baby again. 

This is a close up of babies face. Up the nose shot. Probably the cutest I have seen. U can see the big lips and the pointy piggy nose that looks like Drakes. :)

This is a profile. You can kinda make out babies nose and lips. Kinda hard to see baby is locked down in my pelvic bone and squished.

Just Drake

When your 3 year old can run your phone, he might just take a TON of pictures that you don't find out about until days later. :)

Yes he isn't a photographer yet, but he sure knows how to make me smile. 

He is seriously such an awesome little boy, who is all boy. He jabbers all day about cars, his dad, and anything with a motor. 

When he says prayers at night he always is blessing his cars over and over. He also will ask His Heavenly Father that his dad can fix something, normally the newest project. Cuz even dads need a little help once in a while. 

Did I mention what a sensitive little man he is?  If I am sad he pleads with me, "mom don't be sad, I don't want you to be sad." And later when the tears have dried he will happily exclaim, "MOM, your eyes are back to normal!" 

He is just content with whatever and does his own thing without worrying. He is great playing alone but also loves friends. 

He is sure lovable and life is so much brighter when he is around!
