One Month (or less)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even believe how fast this pregnancy has gone for us!  I am blown away by the fact that this little guy will be here in a month or less!  I haven't scheduled my C-section yet (hoping to do so this Monday when I see my Doc) but he has already said I won't be going past 39 weeks which is in one month from today! So crazy, it hit me when I woke up this morning.  I am really hoping that this guy stays in till mid-July because I am not quite ready.  Spending all this time at home with Kai the last few months has been such a blessing, my love for him has continued to grow and blossom so much, even more then I thought it ever could.  He is my little buddy these days and I love every moment I spend with him, even the ones that are a little more trying.  To think about another baby coming into our life and in a lot of ways interrupting our daily routine is bittersweet.  I know we will adjust and everything will be great, but I can't help and wish for a little more time with just Kai and I.

Not sure if we'll get that time though: This baby is measuring 3 weeks ahead and I've been having a lot of cramping, pressure and contractions in the last couple weeks.  The baby dropped a while ago and I don't think he wants to stay in as long as Kai did.  Things are happening much faster this time around then they did with Kai.  I can't blame him though, he hears how much fun we have, who wouldn't want to join in ;).

I have to take a little time to praise my awesome partner for life.  Chad has been so super busy at work, working a lot of overtime and busting his butt while I've been on maternity leave.  It's been hard not having him home as much, especially being so pregnant.  But when he is home he is super husband/dad! He cleans the house, does the yard work, takes care of Kai, makes dinner, does dishes, feeds me Ice Cream and basically allows me to put my feet up and rest even though he has worked a full, hard day.  He is such a special person, Kai and I are so blessed by him and his servant's heart for our family.  I am excited to be not-pregnant and healed from the c-section and make it up to him.  Maybe take him on an adventure to the mountains for a day of hiking or treat him to a massage and golf game.   Any suggestions??

Here is one of many great maternity pictures Christian Kaysen took for us.  This is being made into a canvas for our living room... check him out kaysenphoto.com .

Feeling Inspired!

I am feeling inspired today! I love making homemade baby food for my beautiful boy! I really can't say enough about the huge advantage making your own baby food is. The price alone is an immediate seller. I buy organic, locally grown produce and spend about 15-25 dollars which lasts me at least a month. If we were buying the same amount of jarred organic baby food we would be spending about 100 dollars a month. Big difference! I also love knowing exactly what goes in my son's (cute) little tummy. No preservatives, no food dye, and no processed food for him. Another big plus is that I can introduce him to flavors and foods that are unique and typically not found in your average baby food. Currently, I am steaming some yams, zucchini, chicken, green beans and rosemary-all certified organic and yummy of course. I call it "R oast Chicken Dinner" - fancy huh? I will then dish them into my BPA free ice cube holders and freeze. After that, I'll make yams, peaches, pears ...

Time is rolling on and life is rolling right along with it! Yesterday was our official 1 month anniversary, it seems so small compared to 8 years of loving each other but still, celebrating never gets old! Rachel started her new job yesterday as a perioperative RN and UCI. I have never seen/ been a part of a more amazing hospital and the benefits are incredible, by far the best hospital around! I feel blessed to be a part of their periop team. We have a robot called The DaVinci that surgeons use to preform Urological surgeies ! It's a little overwhelming but we will learn and we will be great Rn's once we are done with our training program. This is a picture of my homemade pizza. The dough was even homemade ! It was a 2 hour event, I got a little stressed attempting to flatten the dough out after we had already flattened and then balled it up again. Note: After you roll the dough out DONT start over, just keep it flat, folding it over onto itself is a disaster...

When the Poop Hits the Fan- LITERALLY!

Day 4 in the bag! Phew, barely. Today was too classic not to blog about, so hopefully it brings a smile to your face. :) Woke up this morning with serious tummy issues only to find both Elijah and Jameson feeling under the weather.  Cancelled our Thursday playdate and we lounged around hydrating and just taking it easy (OK they were taking it easy, me, on the other hand, that's a joke. I am a mom of 3 littles after all. I was playing Mommy Nurse). Around 11 we sat down to do school. Now, Elijah's participation is hit and miss, which I completely expected.  He is always game for music time (he is a dancing king after all) and game time. But today he decided he wanted to join for all of it.  So little Mister with his pensive mind asked "Why?" only 80 gazillion times today.  We stopped and had a snack every 10 minutes (Elijah is my hungry boy after all) and a few water breaks (thirsty boy too). Get my drift? Lots of breaks and pauses with him a...
