40 Weeks & still pregnant!

Yes, I am 40 weeks along and he's still in my belly. I would have sworn he was going to arrive early. Obviously my intuition that he would come early was wrong.

Last week at my doctors appointment I had lost 3 pounds, I was dilated almost to a 3, and was 60-70% effaced. My doctor said that if he doesn't come by April 29th that she would induce labor. Now I don't think he will be early but rather, he will be late. For the past couple weeks, I've had steady contractions lasting 2-3 hours multiple times a week. It's a bit frustrating because I think I'm going to go into labor and then the contractions just disappear. I've never had false labor like this before, so I'm hoping when I do go into labor, I will progress quicker than I did with Cambree.

We are counting down the days till we get to meet our new family member! I'm sure my next post will be his arrival! Wish me luck!

Addie's new love

My girls have always been more into "boyish toys" than girl toys. Sure they are girly and like to dress up, wear make-up, and play with dolls but they love bugs, dinosaurs, fishing, getting dirty and now Addie's new obsession, tractors.

She's seriously obsessed. Any time she sees one she yells "TRACTOR!"

The other day I took Addie to Home Goods while Cambree was at preschool. I let Addie look at the toys and of course, she was drawn to the tractors. I ended up letting her pick out her very own tractor and I'm so glad I did. She was smiling from ear to ear and laughed the whole way home. She's been taking her tractor with us when we leave our house, she loves it so very much. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made, I just love how happy she is.

I love how well rounded my girls are and that they play with everything. Also, it will be nice to have boy toys when our little guy arrives as well!

Snow in the Spring

We had a snow storm which feels odd in April. But I shouldn't be surprised because that's how Utah rolls.

My girls thought it was fantastic. They spent over an hour playing in the snow. I wasn't in the mood to get all dressed up as well to go play with them and thankfully they were fine playing with one another. I loved hearing their little laughs through the door.

It's suppose to be in the mid 60's this weekend, so it will melt soon. But it was fun while it lasted.

37 Weeks

I am 37 weeks and 2 days pregnant. At our appointment tonight our doctor said he weighed approximately 7 lbs 9 ounces. I am dilated to a 1+ and I am 50% effaced.

Not exactly what I was hoping for but at least I am progressing somewhat! I will let you all know what our doctor says next week!

Happy Easter!

The girls woke up a little before 7am and were ready to find their Easter baskets.

Cambree started inspecting each room and found her basket in the laundry room in the dryer. I was surprised how easily she found it!

Addie on the other hand, had no idea what was going on. So she needed help from the rest of us to show her where hers was. She was so excited to find candy in her basket, before I could do anything she had the wrapper off her caramel egg and was eating it. I think she was surprised to find carmel in the middle of the egg. She doesn't like her hands dirty, so she immediately gave it to me and had me clean her off.

Later in the day, we went to my parents house for dinner. We had a wonderful day together, hanging out outside and resting.

Hope you all had a great Easter!

Just because

Nothing new here, but I just love these pictures of the girls playing in our yard the other day.

Here's Addie saying "CHEESE!" Love when she smiles like this!

Love my girls!

Little Boys room!

Our little mans room is all done & I couldn't be happier! It was extremely hard for me to decide what to do. I kept switching themes and colors but finally it all came together.

We decided on a fishing themed room since Benton loves to fly fish. There aren't many fish decorations for sale or the ones I could find, weren't quite what I was looking for. So the fish decoration above his dresser I made. And we stole pictures from a book and framed them above his crib. I am so pleased with how it all looks together.

Now all we need is for him to arrive!
