October!

Ok, so I'm a BIG TIME slacker....I don't know where the time went. I'm sure no one is even going to read my blog anymore. Oh well. We spent a wonderful 12 days in Utah with Aaron's family. It was one of the best vacations, even though Noah had the flu, and I came home with the flu. My camera was with me all the time, but the card was full, and I didn't bring my spare...Lovely, I know.

Its FALL again!

Aaron and I decided to take the kids out to Sauvie Island to visit the Pumpkin Patch! We had a blast as usual. We will be in Disneyland on Halloween, so poor Noah won't be trick-or-treating this year. ;( (yeah right, he's not sad, and neither am I)

I don't think Paige likes corn....she looks a little worried.

This is the world's largest head of cabbage, YES is it normal cabbage...(on steroids)

This is me feeling like I am going to fall off the hay ride...I was sliding off the hay bail, but still managed a smile! It was a very bumpy ride!!

Updated Baby shower...

Sorry for the confusion. I forgot to update my blog. The shower is tonight....6:30-8:30 {open house style}. Hope you all can make it. 8513 SW 181st ave. Beaverton 97007.

Baby Shower!

Ok, it has been an interesting few weeks. We finally were able to work out a date for the baby shower. August 20, 6:30pm, so if you have any questions, call me, or Amanda. It will still be at Amanda's house. It will be a lot of fun, I can't wait to have a "girls night out"...I need it.
Love you all!

Surprise!!!

Ok, so she is here!! 3 weeks early!!!

We named her paige. July 7th, 8lbs, 9zo. 20 1/2 inches long.

I went in for my 37 week check up and all of a sudden it felt like I wet my pants, so the doc checked, and my water broke!! So he sent us straight to the hospital and she was born about 5 hours later! Fun fun.

We are both home and doing well. She is getting so alert, and louder every day. Here are some fun pictures.

Aaron is a very proud daddy

Noah is a very good, protective big brother!

I have to apologize, I don't have many close ups on my camera. They are on everyone's camera, but mine. I was very tired and left the picture taking up to others. I will get some more pictures today.

Love you all, and I can't wait to introduce you to my daughter!

And the countdown continues!

I went in yesterday for another Dr. appt.....
I am in total misery, and now I know why. I am currently measuring past (way past) 40 weeks. Yes, I said it! I have to have yet another ultrasound on Monday. My Dr. says there is nothing to worry about, he just wants to know fluid levels. I still don't know why, no matter how much or how little fluid there is I am still miserable. Only 30% effaced. Nothing major going on.

17 Days left!

No, I'm not counting or anything....

I will have to post some pictures of my belly....You would think I was having triplets. ;) We also measured my waist on Sunday.....All I want to say is that I have the largest waist of everyone I know. ;) How sad. Funny, but sad.
