"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

31 Week pic's & Kaylin cute cat......


Well i made it to 31 weeks now and i feel like its going by really pretty fast actually, seriously were the heck did October go???
I am so excited to see this little guy and hold him in my arms!! 40 weeks is a long time knowing that there is a little baby growing inside of you and being able to feel him kick and hiccup and wiggle just makes it that much longer it feels like.

I can definitely feel him more now, i can tell my fluid levels are getting lower cause i really feel every single movement he makes, it is so funny when he moves by my ribs cause it tickles me and i just start laughing and people around me look at me like I'm crazy, but it's so fun. Kaylin feels him move now and just laughs and laughs when he is rolling across his hand...i love it!!!!
I can wait to see my TWO BOYS play together and be the best of friends, i couldn't ask for anything more perfect!!!

Kaylin made these really cute kitty ears at school and his teacher drew the little nose and whiskers on each kid...i just loved it and let him be a kitty for the rest of the day....he makes one cute kitty!!!!

I love my kid....!!!

The other day Kaylin and i were sitting in the bathroom getting him dressed and i had on this heart bracelet and he said...

kaylin: mommy i wanna wear that
me: Well this is for girls not for boys, girls wear bracelets with hearts on them
kaylin: but i wanna wear it
me: well you don't wanna look like a girl, it really is for girls
kaylin: but your not a girl, your just my mommy!!!!

seriously i was laughing for a few minutes over it, it was really funny, i love the little things he says!!!

Thank you Swine!.....

Well i guess the swine flu was good for something....it kicked my nesting into HIGH gear!!! I don't think i have EVER cleaned this much in my life, for the past 3 days i have been deep cleaning everything, walls, doors, (too bad i still hate to clean windows even nesting couldn't make me do that) i have deep cleaned my bathrooms about 20 times or more since Thursday, i got all the baby clothes out of storage and went through all the boxes and got out all the clothes up to 3 months and washed them and folded them, put them in the baby's dresser, cleaned out kaylins clothes that don't fit him anymore which is kinda bad cause now i see he needs A LOT of winter clothes cause he has none.
I want to move my rooms around so bad but i have no were to put anything except were it already is so that is driving me crazy (can someone just buy me a bigger house!)
Nick asked me what was wrong with me when i was cleaning the washer and dryer today, he said "are you OK" "are you obsessed with cleaning now" i just laughed cause it is a little weird that i have been like a MAJOR germ freak the last week. I still have A LOT to clean but it is slowly getting there, if you have never seen my house deep cleaned before now is you chance (rayni!)....any ways everyone is good now at our house kaylin and nick still have a little bit of a cough but that's it, thank goodness i tested negative for it and never got sick.
I guess it was all good timing with the swine flu cause i have gotten a lot done i don't think i would have other wise or maybe is was just knowing i only have "9" weeks or less left before our little boy gets here and had to get cracking on all the stuff i have had to do!!!

29 weeks...10 or less to go!!!!!!


Seriously, I'm so excited that the time is almost done and we will get to hold our little guy! It seems like the last like 6-8 weeks have gone by pretty fast, thank goodness! I am definitely feeling very pregnant now, like the hard to breath, rib pain, no clothes that fit, back pain and swollen feet almost every night, my back is out of place and needs to get fixed and then I'm sure i would feel a little better but i am to freaked out to get that done so i just deal with it. My doc did say that if i didn't have him early on my own that she would induce me at 39 weeks, but i am definitely hoping he will come before 39 weeks like 38 would be so awesome cause 39 weeks is like Christmas eve for me and he is not coming on Christmas, but who knows they have minds of there own so he may just stay in there forever!
It's so fun to feel him move around in there and feel his little feet and knees and elbows and what ever else it jabbing me! Its nice to actually look pregnant now and not just that weird fat looking stage where people are afraid to ask if your pregnant! I cant wait to get our last 3D ultra sound done and maybe get a peak at his little face since everyone we have had the little stink hides his face, that would also be very helpful in our picking his name cause now we have no idea again as to which one it will be 8(
all in all i love being pregnant but would love to have my body to myself again at the same time. We cant wait to have our little guy here.

Oh what a three year old say's.....

So last night we were getting in bed and kaylin was in our bed (of course)and i layed down talking about my feakin swollen feet, and my belly buddy was kicking around so i pulled my shirt over my belly and right away kaylin started laughing historically and i looked at him and said "whats so funny", he said "your belly is so fat now", my mouth just dropped and i couldn't believe my three year old said that to me....man that makes you feel soooo good!!!

*just so i have it on record for my own memory*
Saturday (oct 10th) Kaylin said his first swear word...yes i did say swear word. Nick and i were watching one of our favorite comedy shows " Til' Death " and is was kinda quite in the room, kaylin was in the room playing with a some cars and the girl on the show says..."wait whats that smell...oh i know its not your a**" referring to her own side of the room with a very nice smell instead of her husbands behind, like we all know about from our husbands smelling up the room before bed. well kaylin sits up on the chair and says " its not your a**, its not your a**", i tried to stop him from saying it before he did but i didnt get through to him in time. seriously he wasn't even paying attention to any of the show and then he decides to at that one moment in the show...*sigh*

What did you make there, crafty lady!.......

Well looky looky what i did....all by myself. I made my very own "car seat canopy's" all three, and they are really cute and cost me a lot less then buying 3 from someone else, and they are exactly how i want them and they mean more!
They are pretty easy i was surprised how easy they are but they do take about 2 to 3 hours to make...so if you wanna make one i can help ya, or make one for you for a lot less, let me know!

This one is MY FAVORITE one and it took the longest cause i made the straps out of the material and not ribbon.



* I made the straps for this one too, but it was a little easier, Kaylin picked this material out for his baby brother all by himself as you can tell cause its his favorite...train material, he loves this one and so do i, it turned out really cute!


*This was my first one and it turned out perfect too, and his has the softest material on the back side of it, perfect for a soft blankie and to keep the heat in since it will be winter when this little guy arrives!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
