The Suspense is Killing Me!

So went to the doctor again today. The plan: if little boy does not show his face by Wednesday, they are scheduling me for a c-section Thursday. I am still trying to convince myself that at least this little guy will be coming out of me one way or another by the end of this week. Just still keeping fingers crossed that he decides to come on his own.

Still No Baby

Man, this little boy is proving to be just as stubborn as his sister. I went in on Saturday (on due date) to the doctor's office and not much of anything has happened. So we are two days passed the due date and I am definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore. Positive side, (as my sister-in-laws called it), I have not had any emotional breakdowns YET. Keeping fingers crossed, more for Kurt's sake.

Countdown: 4, 3, 2, 1 Days!

So I am totally past the point of enjoying this pregnancy. Wait! What am I saying? I have never enjoyed a moment of either of my pregnancies! Yep, I am totally one of those evil people who does not enjoy or embellish on the joys of having a baby (feels like a little gremlin) growing in you. I am one of those people that starts counting down from day one until this little baby will be gracing the world with his/her presence instead of my body.

Don't get me wrong; I am EXTREMELY grateful that I am able to have children and so easily, I just handle pregnancy grudgingly until it is over.

Well, no little guy has arrived yet. My official due date is this Saturday (July 2nd) and I am rooting every day that something happens before then.There are days that I have thought if I took one more step a baby might just drop out on the sidewalk, but no such happenings yet. To make my attitude a little worse, a good friend had her baby a few days ago and her due date was not until July 15th. Can we say I am just a "little" jealous. That is a definite yes! Kurt loves to rub that one in my face and laugh about it.

Hopefully my next post will be filled of pictures of our new baby boy and big sister Kylee. (Keeping fingers crossed).

Still Slacking in the Picture Area

I am slacking in the picture area. I do have a few that I have taken with my cell phone and camera that I just need to take the time to load. (To my defense, we have no Internet at our apartment so I am usually chasing a Kylee at Grandma's where Internet is available.)

We have been living in our apartment for about a week now and it has been nice. Kylee has had some fun adventures with her cousins and her grandma. (This girl is going to have a hard time when we move in August.) We have had picnics at the park, ridden the carousel, ridden horses (yes, I am a crazy pregnant lady riding a horse), ridden her bike, and just enjoyed being outside.

Kurt had the opportunity to go snowmobiling this past weekend with his dad into Cook City, Montana and they both had a blast. They both returned with really funny sunburn marks on their face from their sunglasses and helmets. (I enjoyed Kurt's humiliation of attending our new church looking like a red raccoon.)

Almost Complete

After 10 days Kurt has finally made it back home! Yeah! Our stuff from the moving truck also arrived yesterday. After some bad instructions from a blonde (me, oops), everything arrived and was pretty much in one piece. (Poor truck drivers got stuck in the parking lot, had to move a large dumpster and railroad ties to eventually get out.)

Today's activities: get everything put together and put away in the apartment!

We Made It Alive!

So I am happy to say that Kylee, Sadie, and I have all made it to Idaho and we are all even still in one piece. Almost nobody realized we even had a cat on the plane (not a single peep from Sadie) and there was only one tiny fit thrown by Kylee, (I had to restrain her to clean the peanut butter and honey off her fingers before everyone was sticky). Things went surprisingly a lot better than I expected. That would greatly be due to having Jan, Kurt's mom, there to help and a lot of nice people around the airport.

I will admit that it would have been almost impossible to make this little journey on my own with being pregnant too. We all survived the 5 1/2 hours of flying, 3 hour layover, and then the 4 hour drive to Rexburg. Kylee is loving Grandma's big backyard, all of the animals to pet and play with, and is Jan's little buddy. I lost count in 5 minutes how many times she has said grandma.

Kurt has finally "officially" gotten everything signed off for school today. He has now graduated and received his diploma. Hallelujah! Kurt and his dad will start their long drive back to Rexburg starting tomorrow morning. Yeah!

I hope all is going well for everyone else!

Burke Lake

So I owe it to Rachel and Ryan for telling us about this little place, Burke Lake. Otherwise, we would have gone without ever finding this little place when we have lived here for almost four years. (I will admit to wishing I had known about this place sooner, because I am sure we would have visited it more often.)
Kylee had the opportunity to ride the carousel and the train. She was a little nervous about the train since it went kind of fast and went through dark tunnels, but seemed to enjoy it.
Her favorite activity seemed to be the carousel. Whenever the ride ended she would be pretty upset. We also enjoyed playing at the playground and sharing some ice cream cones.
Kylee enjoyed exploring down by the lake, throwing rocks, carrying sticks, and walking across logs.
Do you notice that Kurt is nowhere to be found in these pictures. I think he enjoys hiding behind the camera so he can take all of the pictures, but not have to be in any of them. I am going to work on that this summer; especially since I am the pregnant one who should be hiding from the camera.
