2 days and counting (instead of 12)

I think I hit the nesting stage yesterday, cause I got all sorts of stuff done yesterday, but about 5:30 last night I started feeling really sick. It took a couple of minutes to realize that it was probably my blood pressure. So I checked it at my mom's house and sure enough, it was real high. So I was up all night stressing about my Doctor's appt. this morning (probably not the best thing to do when your blood pressure is already high). Anyway, it was still high this morning and I haven't started to dilate still, so the Dr. gave me less than a 5% chance of being successfull with a VBAC. Those odds aren't good and I don't want to go through the whole labor for hours and still end up with a c-section. So I am scheduled for a c-section on Thursday the 30th at 1:30. Looks like Kamron will be an October baby after all (but at least not a Halloween baby)!

Successfull Deer Hunt!

Well we made it back from the deer hunt. Eight days of camping was fun, but it is nice to be back home in civilization again. We left Saturday the 18th and came back Saturday the 25th. We were a little worried going so close to my due date (14 days and counting) but my Dr. gave the ok and I wasn't about to miss the big camping trip. So I figured it usually takes a few hours of labor before you actually have the baby, so I could probably make the 4 hour drive back to the hospital before the baby came. Tim was really good about not leaving me without a car or by myself for an extended amount of time, and he even gave me a morning off by taking both the boys on the morning hunt so I could get some sleep. He also took me into Grouse Creek a couple of times to get me out of camp and took me on a really mellow Night hunt ride. I didn't do so good on the drives last year and didn't want to worry about my blood pressure so he took it easy on me. All in all it was a really good week! Tim shot a deer on Friday, so I guess I will have to choke down deer meat for a little while. The boys loved being outside all day long, and we didn't have a baby ( I told Tim that we could name the baby Hunter if he came on the deer hunt but it looks like he will be Kamron after all.) Here are some fun pics from the week!

Matt doing what he does best! Playing in the fire.

Chase absolutely loved the deer, He would ask all day long to go and see them.

Yes, I know, I'm big and fat, don't look at my face! It's huge!

Chase's favorite place to sit in the trailer, under the table on the little step!

Eavesdropping

I walk Matt to school in the mornings and our neighbor that is in first grade with him walks with us most days. They have some pretty interesting conversations sometimes. Usually about roly polys and dandelions. But this morning I was eavesdropping on our way to school. Matt was saying how his friend Jaden said he saw an alien spaceship but Matt doesn't believe him cause they aren't real. Ellie said "Do you believe in God?"
Matt: yeah, AND I believe in Santa Clause. But not ghosts!
It made me happy to hear him say he believes in God, but I'm not sure how to feel about him associating that with Santa Clause and ghosts. But it still made me chuckle.

Pregnancy woes

I went to the doctor on Friday and he moved my due date up 6 days. So now my due date is Nov. 9th. I was really kind of sad that he changed my due date. Chase is such a handful right now I have no idea how I am going to handle him and a newborn, so I don't feel ready for this at all. I also asked the doctor about the deer hunt. We are planning on taking a week to go hunting at the end of October. He said oh yeah go, that's no problem. I told him we are going to Grouse Creek which is like 3 1/2 hours away from the nearest hospital (or doctor, or store, or anything!) but he still said that was fine, nothing to worry about. So hopefully it works out ok. Thank goodness for trailers with bathrooms and real beds!!!

I went to a meeting last night for my Stake. They rearranged all the ward boundaries in my Stake. I thought it would be a quick meeting, but no, they had 5 speakers (a bishop, all of the stake presidency, and a member of the 70 - all long winded) plus the 4 bishops that were released bore their testimonies, and all of the new ward info, releases, and new callings. It was almost two hours long and really hot, on uncomfortable chairs. I took my sandals off cause I was real hot, but when the meeting was over, I couldn't get my shoes back on. My feet were all swollen. I had walked to the meeting because there was going to be so many people there so I had to walk home barefoot. I was just thinking the day before that I hadn't really had any swelling yet and how glad I was about that. I guess that is over. Maybe it is good that they moved my due date up!

Husband Tag

So I wasn't really officially tagged for this, but a couple of people didn't actually tag somebody they just tagged whoever wanted to do it, and I thought it would be fun. So here is all about my wonderful husband Tim.

1- Where did you meet? On the internet. ldssingles.com. He kept sending me messages. I wasn't really interested at first cause he was divorced and had a kid. But he was really sweet and kept writing.

2- How long did you date before you were married? 16 days. Our first date was September 2nd. We went to Vegas and were married on September 18th. I know it was fast but we both knew it was right so why wait? We were sealed in the Manti Temple on September 23rd the following year.

3- How long have you been married for? Just over 3 years.

4- What does he do that surprises you? Wow this is hard. I guess it surprises me when I am about to lose my temper (or have already lost it) with the boys and I think he is just as frustrated as me, but then he knows just what to do to help me out and fix the situation.

5- What's your favorite feature about him? His shoulders and back. I've always been a back person.

6- What's your favorite quality about him? He is really good at making me talk things out when I am mad. I usually get really quiet and don't want to talk but he is good at making me open up. Usually it is the girl in the relationship that does that, but I hate it and avoid it, so he has to pry it out of me. He is also really good at apologizing if he has done something wrong or hurtfull. Again, something that I suck at. I have a hard time saying I'm sorry.

7- Does he have a nickname for you? What is it? Hon, babes, baby

8- What's his favorite color? I don't know for sure. He has a lot of clothes that are orange and red. I think the red is just cause I buy all of his clothes and my favorite color is red.

9- What's his favorite food? Probably hot wings or BBQ'd something, He also really likes steak and seafood (shrimp) all things that I really don't like.

10-What is his favorite sport? Fishing and hunting (do those count?) He really likes to watch UFC (ultimate fighting champions or something like that) he also likes to watch football.

11- Who said I love you first? I did. He said it right back, and he had already planned to send me roses at my work the next day with a card that said I love you. I guess I spoiled that one. But he still sent the roses.

12- When and where was your first kiss? September 3rd, 2005. It was our second date. He came to Brigham City with me to a birthday party for my mom, sister, and sister-in-law. We spent the night there and when I showed him where he was sleeping and we said good night he leaned down and kissed me. I always thought that I wanted to marry a guy that didn't try to kiss me on the first date and didn't stick his tongue down my throat on the first kiss. He passed with flying colors.

13-What are your favorite things to do as a couple? Go out to eat, watch a movie, we like to go camping a lot.

14-Do you have kids? How many? yes. 3 I guess. Matt, 6 yrs. old (He is my stepson from Tim's first marriage, He lives with us full time) Chase, 20 months and a baby boy due in 6 weeks.

15- What's a hidden talent that he has? He is really good at reading people. He can tell how to best motivate them, and what kind of a person they are right off the bat. This is a really good talent for his work since he usually has a bunch of guys that he is supervising. It also makes it easy for him to make friends.

16- How old is he? 27 His birthday is Feb. 7, 1981. I am 16 months older. (ok so he just informed me that I had his birthday wrong. I had Feb. 2 which is Chase's birthday. Oops, I guess I can't give him a hard time for forgetting my birthday anymore!)

17- What's his favorite type of music? Hard Rock, Country

18- What do you admire most about him? He is a very good father. He fought for custody of Matt when he got a divorce and raised him by himself for awhile before we got married. He did what was best for Matt even though it was really tough, and he did it well. He is really good at talking to the boys and being a friend to them as well as a father.

19-What's his favorite past time(s)? Fishing, hunting, camping. I blame Travis (my brother-in-law).

20- Do you think he is going to read this? No, he thinks blogs are dumb.

Sleepless Night

Well I couldn't sleep tonight so I started doing random things on the computer. I started at about 3:30 and it's now after 5:00 but hey look, I now have a blog. I decided that this would be a good way to keep in touch with people that I might not get to talk to regularly. And I love to read other's blogs so why not start my own right? So now that I have it all set up I think I'm going to try to get a little more sleep!
