35 Weeks...

35 weeks down! I cant believe in just a little over a week now i will be "full term" and our little one could come at anytime! I really hope he fallows kiptin and comes at 38 weeks but I also dont want to "make" him come out, i really just want it to go smooth like kiptins was and when he is ready he will come. Having kiptin was so easy and relaxed and it was just nice. So when ever this little one is ready so are we, if it come to the point i have to be induced then so be it but as of right now I am shooting for him just coming on his own terms.
We think we finally are set on his name MAYBE...you never know i change my mind all the time, but i love the fact that nick came up with the name on his own and its special to me that he had a part in it and this time it was his idea not mine like the other two! im not spilling the beans yet though in case i change my mind ;)
Kiptin really is the one that made us pretty much settle on our name cause out of the blue his just said the name and it seriously melted our hearts and it sounded so cute that we just said maybe thats what it should be, because we have not told kiptin that name Iam still not sure where he herd it maybe he just over herd us talking about it one day.
I have for sure "popped" out now the past two weeks have really been harder on me, the simple little things like bending over, sitting up, getting up off the ground etc have really been more challenging, i get super tiered really easy and i can just tell and feel how hard my body is working. Iam so thankful for nick, he has really been a huge help, he wakes up with kaylin every morning and gets him fed and ready for school and drives him to school, just doing that has helped a lot. when i dont get the house clean he doesnt complain and if i dont want to make dinner he just helps grab the boys something. He has helped get all the baby stuff ready and done in the nursery and its so nice to see a room pretty much complete now!
Iam so lucky to have him, i do take him for granted more then i should im sure, but what an AMAZING dad he is, our boys are seriously the luckiest to have such a great dad!! and im the luckiest to have such a great husband who stand by me and care's for me even when im a brat to him :)

At my doc apt on Tuesday everything still looked good until i got a call on wends from my doctors nurse letting me know the results of my blood test...she said my blood platelets had fallen even lower and that they will check me again in a week, and to just know that if they fall to 70 that I will not be able to get an epidural and that i would have to go natural due to the platelets being low, they are what makes your blood clot, im 30 below the normal which is 150 and she then said that they is no way they will raise in that short amount of time but they will/could continue to drop so they will just watch them to make sure they stay above 100.
We cant wait to meet this little one, life will forever be changed but in such a good way!

The sweetest big brother....

today while at church, after i had to run outside and throw up a few times (thank you pregnancy for that)....nick took the boys into their classes, kiptin is a new little sunbeam so he is in singing time first with kaylin and the jr primary...after doing my thing outside nick and i came in and sat on the stairs inside right by the primary room, our class was full and i still wasnt feeling too well so we just decided to sit there till the next classes started. Kaylins teacher came out and said, "i have to tell you what just happened in there with little kiptin....kaylin looked over and kiptin just had these big tiger tears running down his face and kaylin told his teacher "look at my brother" and she said oh thats sad, kaylin just stood up and walked over to his little brother and wiped his tears and sat by him and put his arm around him to make him feel better." she said it was the sweetest thing she had ever seen and it just melted her heart....needless to say (even writing this) it brings happy tears to my eyes, i have the sweetest little boy(s) ever! what a super great sweet big brother my sweet kaylin is...it just melts my heart to know he takes such good care of his little brother and didnt want him to feel scared while in the new big class!

Kaylin has always been just such a sweet kid, he hates to see any kid cry or be sad and is always there to try to make them feel better but when he is so sweet and kind to his own little brother it just melts my heart over and over...there really are not words to say how sweet his little heart is, so happy and so proud of him, i couldnt ask for him to be any better. I know he will always be there to take care and watch over his little brothers!

Love you kaylin dude so much, Dad and I are always so proud of you and who you are becoming, remember to stay close to the spirit and your family!
The two sweetest boys i know! love them more then life.

Valentines 2013...

Not much of a "Valentines day" this year...
i usually get up and make a fun heart shaped breakfast but this year kiptin was up all the night before not feeling well after he had his flu shot so needless to say i didnt feel like getting up.
I didnt even get to the store to buy the boys some fun valentines chocolates for when they woke up either. So we took the boys out to Krave and got some ice cream and then went to walmart and they each got a new car and some bubbles!!

Nick and I might have a hot date night, since my sweet neighbor is going to watch the boys for us so we can finally go out ALONE...im sure it has been since october of last year since we were out on a date together with out the boys. We love taking the boys with us but it is nice to have a quit meal every now and then with no kids fighting or being noisy!!

I did finally get my nails done again for the first time in like 3 years and it is SOOOO NICE to have pretty hands again, it makes my wedding right really sparkle too.

I had to help in kaylins first grade class party, it was fun to see him having so much fun!

I Love my kids and hubby so much, they really are the biggest best part of my life and they are everything i will ever need!
I have LOTS and LOTS of love for these 3 (soon to be 4) boys in my life!!

Happy Valentines to my boys, I love you each for ever and ever!

33 and 34 weeks....

Im really a slacker ;)
I Have only had my phone to take pictures of my huge belly with so they are not the best, not to mention i really hate pictures of my self but i know how fun it is to have something to look back on and see what each pregnancy was like!
I really do feel HUGE, i try not to say that too often outside of home and to nick because I know i really am one of the lucky ones who dont get stretch marks or a really really huge belly and gain a more then crazy amount of weight but to me it is really huge compared to what im use to.
Im at the next point now where im just so tired all the time and getting out to the store is so dreadful and im totally done by the time i get back home...not to mention my body just seems to know when we walk in the doors of walmart that its going to have to walk all over the blessed store and the contractions start right up...not fun when i have to walk and push the basket.

I cant believe that im 34 (almost 35 weeks) now...as much as i want to hug and kiss and cuddle this little boy, reality of having 3 kids is starting to become real and there is no going back, im not as scared as i was at first but im sure the adjustment will take a bit to get use too.
I still am measuring really small at my last apt so she sent me in for another ultrasound to make sure he was still growing, i was so happy to finally get to see a little bit of his face...definitely has nicks nose and this one has mommy's chin it looks like just like kiptin did. he was sucking his fingers and wiggling around. I told nick he is "locked and loaded" down there now so he is ready for his big day...so glad he finally turned cause last time he was still breech.
I hope he is ready to come out in 3 more weeks my fingers are crossed!!
We finally got his room mostly all done, clothes washed and folded and hung, furniture all put together the bedding all done and painting all done (pictures will come) I just got a huge box of diapers and am just waiting for a few more things for me to pack my hospital bag :)

Both boys are so excited to meet there little brother, they both hug on my belly and talk to him! We still are not set on a name for this little one but thats the last big thing left we have to do.

Kiptin's A Big Boy Now!...

Finally Kiptin decided he wanted to wear big boy undies and give the rest of his diapers to his new little baby thats soon to come!
This time around Iam a much more mellow go with the flow mom, I new how long it took working with kaylin to fully potty train even though he wanted to do it, it just took a long while for him to get the hang of it cause I listed to everyone else and they all said start him a little after 2 so thats what we did but he was maybe not quite ready, it took him a good 6 months to be pretty perfect at it.
This time I didnt even care what people said, i was waiting til kiptin showed interest in the potty him self and then I would start to encourage him to sit on the potty and wear big boy undies. WORKED LIKE A CHARM i must say! We are on day 3 of wearing undies and he is doing so super great, he runs to his little potty and does his business and then bring it to me and says "i pee peed again mommmy" I yell great job and we give high fives and he is one happy little boy, he gets to open his treasure box and pick out a treat!
We had doc apt and a walmart trip to make yesterday and he was not going to let me put him in a diaper so i told him he had to stay dry...HE DID!
We still have had no #2 in to potty yet so im a little worried about that, he doesnt quite know what to do there yet...one he just "lets it go" like he did with his #1, he will see that its a piece of cake as well and im sure he will master that too!!
Im happy that this is all happening before his little brother joins us because i was totally not even going to deal with this issue until way after the baby comes...a new born and potty training doesnt sound like a lot of fun to me!
I just may be diaper free for ONE WHOLE MONTH before we have to start those up again for the next 3 years!!! Man 6 years straight changing diapers???? who's crazy idea was that???? we have to plan better next time or else just hurry and get it all over with so we are free from diapers FOREVER! I like the 2nd idea better my self.

Great Job Kiptin...your so big...we love you to heaven!!!

here is what kiptin picked out as his prize for going potty....We told him as soon as he was totally potty trained he could go to the store again and pick one last big prize out...so just a few day after we bought his fun play dough sets he finished up his potty training and he has had his eyes on the "hungry hippos" game and thats what he picked out to buy...he has had so much fun with it. Its nice now i dont have to change a diaper during the day and i dont even have to ask him if he needs to potty he just goes in when ever he needs and gets the job done :)!!!! It make me a little sad how he just passed such a big mile stone but im so proud of him and he is such an amazing little boy!
