Note to Self: Don't forget...

At my OB appointment today, we were listening to the baby's heartbeat and the doctor said to Kate, " Can you hear the baby's heartbeat?" And she said, "That is my sister!!!!"

We stopped at In-N-Out to celebrate my one pound weight gain (ha!), and because Kate wanted a "hangaber". When I ordered her a cheeseburger, she thought it was hilarious and wanted to know why she was eating a "cheese booger!" It was such a funny conversation explaining the difference to her!

Each morning after breakfast I read scriptures with Kate. This morning we read in Nephi about Lehi's dream. She was trying to tell Matt about it at dinner, and I asked her what the path was called that lead to the tree. She thought and though, and said, "Something stick!" We were laughing and Matt said, "The Iron Rrrr_______" and Kate thought some more and said, "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrr rrrrr IRON!"

We made it.

The three of us survived. Barely.

It was touch and go a few times, but we pulled through in the end. I had a mini-breakdown when something fell on Kate, and then she had her first accident (on me) since being potty trained. I felt so sorry for her, and knew she was stressed. I hated not being able to give her the comfort she needed at the moment, which was her home. I just wanted to rush her back to our old home and cuddle her in her room. Instead we sat in her new empty room, cried together, and then read a book, all while being covered in pee. Awesome moment.

We have been in our new home for 3 nights, and each night we are all sleeping a little better, and waking up feeling a little more at home. I still feeling like I am using someone else's bathroom though. Such a strange feeling!

Kate is doing better. She had a hard weekend, but I think we are coming out of it now. While out and about today, she asked to go back to her "giant house". It was pretty funny, but made me feel so happy that she asked to go there instead of the "little house".

Tomorrow I have an OB appointment. Really hoping this weekend's work didn't start anything too early! I had a few too many contractions to count. We ate fast food way too many times to count. And, my feet are swollen. Should make for an interesting appointment tomorrow.

Advice?

This little nugget is SO confused. She has just been freaking out and has been anxious and worried as we have packed up our "stuff".
Whenever she walks into a room, she looks around, and gets big eyes, and says, "Where did our pictures go? Where did my toys go? What happened in here???"
It is so sad!
Whenever we are at the new house, she asks to go home. I am hoping come Friday, when all of our belongs are moved in, she will feel a little more comfortable and want to stay.

Not to mention...we are adding a new baby to the mix. And moving her out of her nursery, and into a whole new room that will be decorated differently. Anyone have any advice to offer?!

Am I craaazy?

This is me this morning.
I am 34 weeks exactly.
I haven't showered for 2 days.
We just barely woke up.
I still have lots of packing to do.
My feet are cold.
It is going to be a long, but good, day.
I better get my butt moving.
(Into the shower!)

110

We are packing up our humble abode this coming week.
I took some pictures so we would always remember our first purchase.
When we first saw it, it was 2 inches deep in water, and had mold hanging off every wall.
We saw the potential though!
We watched it go from that nasty place, stripped down to the studs, and then built back again.
It has been quite the year for 110.
It has been a good little home to us, but with our growing family, it is time to say goodbye.
We always knew it would be a short stay, so we tried to not get attached.
The extra square footage we will be gaining is making the goodbye a little easier though!








We are very happy that our buyers are members of our church, and will be in our ward...so I am sure we be able to see it again. (Probably the the day after we move out, while Matt is helping them move in! Ha! Love the Church!)

Disneyland 2010 (Aka: Photo Overload)

We got passes last November to Disneyland. Kate had I have gone at least once a month, all year! It is so fun to go for a few hours, and not feel stressed to get your moneys worth. Our passes expired this passed weekend, so we went for one last trip until we renew.




















What we have been up to:

Saturday Night date with the Munch to the Pier.



Checking out the new Disney Store. Kate requested this "photo".
Enjoying a HOT mid-November day at the pool.

A few Disneyland trips with friends
A lot of talk about baby. She stuffs her shirt and says, "Look Mom! I am having a baby!"
I threw a shower for my best friend Bree. We are having our babies 3 days apart!
Friends from high school: Shannon, me, Bree, and Heather.

These are my two best friends, and both happen to be pregnant too. Love this time of life!
We are enjoying the fall outdoors as much as possible.

Halloween parade at the library after story time.
Kate's light up wings were a huge hit.

Maybe my favorite picture...Getting ready for Halloween! You would think I was really hurting her. Pain is beauty, Kate.
A rare mid-week breakfast with our favorite boy. Donuts, and Starbucks hot chocolate!
