38 Week Doctor Checkup and Peyton's Tournament Update!

Today was my 38 week doctor checkup. The checkup went well... much more progression than last week - FOR SURE! My doctor informed me that I am right at 2cm dilated and almost 25% effaced. I was talking to him and a little disappointed that there wasn't more dilation than that... he said none of that matters and that I could progress so far (even in hours) and go into full labor tonight. He said that it could happen any time. So, that's good news! :) The bad news is that I did not realize it until today, but I have been retaining some major water/fluids over the past couple of days... so much that my feet/toes/fingers and ankles are really puffy. My ankles are so swollen (and this is NO exaggeration!!!) that they look like the elephant man. No joke! It scares me looking at them! I hope it's not Toxemia... I didn't even notice them at the doctor's office... my mother pointed it out to me when I went to her house afterwards. Icky! That's got to be a sign that it is the end of the road for this pregnancy! LOL My face is NOT swollen at all - Thank you, God! (Knocking on wood...) So, stay posted! I've been saying practically my entire pregnancy that I would have Khloe on June 17 (which is today!)... it's the date that has been stuck in my head for months... not sure why. Peyton thinks it will be June 27. We'll see. Today's not over... wishful thinking! LOL I have been having random contractions all day today... they are spaced out way too far to even begin thinking about timing. All I can say is... Bring the Contractions On! I've decided also that I am going to have pain meds when I deliver... unlike with my first pregnancy. I did 100% Natural -No drugs at all (I must have been NUTS because I was in HARD LABOR for 36 hours... what an idiot!) with my first pregnancy... and nuh, uh... not this time! LOL

I've started painting Khloe's Nursery pictures. I drew it out Monday night and yesterday spent several hours painting it... didn't get very far, though. Man, that's time consuming - no doubt! It will be cute when it's done, though. Below is a picture of what the unfinished picture looks like... you can see what I've painted thus far and what has been sketched and is waiting to be painted. I guess I better get on it and finish it... who know when she'll come and my hand will be full! ;)





About Peyton's Baseball Tournament...
His team (The Angels) won Game 2 yesterday in their Tournament! Go Angels! The cool thing is that they beat the #1 team (The Pirates) in the League. Can't believe it! Final Score 9-6! Woo Hoo!!! Way to go boys! They will play Game 3 tomorrow night. It should be good... if they win Game 3, then they will be playing one-on-one in the Championship Game on Saturday. Wish them luck!!

Here's Peyton on Base at 2nd...



I'll keep you posted on Peyton's Tournament AND little Miss Khloe's arrival!!

Peyton Won 1st Game in Tournament Yesterday!

Peyton's team (The Angels) won their first game in their tournament that started yesterday. They played the Reds (which were a pretty good team all season - their record was better than ours!). The game was intense, because their coach (Duane) is always very competitive against our coach (Gan) in football and baseball. It was a big game for both teams. Our coach, Gan Nunnally, is always very mild tempered and such a good sport... never says anything negative to the officials. Now... I can't say the same for the Red's Coach, Duane Webb. He is a great guy normally, but don't make him mad during games... he is way too competitive to keep his composure. Yesterday, (about the 2nd Inning) Duane was thrown out of the game by the Umpire for his negative attitude and his consistant negative comments about the game. The hilarious part is that two Innings later the Red's Assistant Coach was thrown out for the same negativity. They were down to two volunteer dad's on the team to finish coaching the game. I have never witnessed such immaturity during 10 year olds' Baseball games. I'll bet they felt pretty silly after their rediculous behavior. LOL I just wish I would have camcorded the whole game... it would have been one to watch over and over again and laugh. Peyton will get a kick out of it when he's older. :) Needless to say, our team beat them (winning our first game of the tournament). Final score: 8-6. It was a close one. I was stressed out in the last inning... they were last to bat... bases loaded... two outs... score 8-6. One good hit would have made them win. Fortunately for us, the last batter struck out! Woo Hoo! We were all on the edge of our seats. Go Angels! Game two is tonight... we play a very respected and well rounded team... The Pirates. Yikes! Wish us luck!

Here are some pictures of Peyton and the team... Good job boys! Peyton played 3rd Base the entire game!

Some of our Family Maternity Pics...

Here are some of the maternity pictures my friend/photographer, Chandi Gregory (Picture This! Production), took of us in my 8th month of pregnancy. I'm still waiting on the cd and can't wait to see all the pictures... she's backed up with editing, though, so I don't know when that will be. But, atleast she sends us a few pictures every now and then to keep us from being so anxious. LOL She's sweet!







A Short Update:
I am hating the fact that my arms/hands go numb while I'm "trying" to sleep at night. It just started happening these past few days. It's weird. Holding them up and shaking them does not make them stop tingling and regaining proper blood flow again. It's just weird. I don't know what that's about, but all I'm sure it has to do with the way the baby is laying and I'm laying in bed... we both are hitting pressure points that is cutting off my blood flow to my limbs. Ouch! It is starting to do that during the day as well. I'll have to ask my doctor what that's about at my 38 week checkup next Wednesday. No sleep still... I finally fell asleep this morning around 5:45am and woke up at 8:15am... I was just thankful for that!LOL

My PUPP rash hasn't been too bad/itchy lately. That's a blessing! There is nothing worse than having a bad itch - especially in hundreds of spots all over your entire body. Grr!!! As long as I stay cooled off and am not in the humidity for too long or heat or allowing the sun to beat on me, then it will not itch hardly at all. I still have the ugly spots all over my body, though. Embarrassing. But, they'll be gone for good the second Khloe is born (so I hear). :)

Yesterday, I picked up Khloe's pink nursery rug from The Baby's Room (and ran into Julie of all people - I'll tell you more about her in a minute). When I got the rug home and put it on the floor in front of her crib, I was disappointed. The pink was way too dark and not at all the same color as the rest of the pinks in her room. So... once again I have to place an order for either the kiwi-colored rug (since the pink is too hard to match) or the lighter pink rug. The part that stinks is that it takes about 3-4 weeks for the rug to come in and I'm sure Khloe will be here before that. Darn! :( That really stinks. Of course, I could just settle for the chocolate rug like it (that they keep in stock at The Baby's Room)... but, how boring since all of her furniture is so dark anyway. I want her to be able to play and stare at her rug when she's in her room. I'll talk to the ladies at The Babies Room and let you know what they suggest... it might just be the chocolate rug... since there is NO WAIT TIME. I like that part. LOL

The story about Julie is that she is due 3 DAYS before me. When I ran into her at The Baby's Room, she told me that Baby Ryan could be born any day. She was up there buying her car seat, because she has progressed way faster than me and thinks that he will be born within days. Lucky Dog! She is already 70%+ effaced, 3cm dilated and has lost her plug. I'm happy for her, but I am no where near that. I could sense her panic and anxiety when I ran into her. Wow... she's nesting hard and I can't believe that she is that much closer than me. Like I tell other friends... just because you aren't dilated or effaced now, doesn't mean it couldn't all happen in one day. It all depends on when your true labor contractions come on and then your body will catch you up. So, really I'm hoping for that for myself. That's how it was when I went into labor with Peyton (10+ years ago)... everything happened in the hospital and NOT before. :)

Note to Self: JUST BE READY NO MATTER WHAT THE PROGRESSION SAYS!!

Doctor Appt this week... 37 Weeks along!

Yesterday was my 37 week doctor appointment. I was expecting more news, but I just kind of left there feeling empty. Ugh! My doctor checked me and didn't mention anything about being effaced or dilated... so I guess nothing is happening down there. I hope it just all comes at once. I am SO surprised, though, because I really feel things changing and thought he would say 'you're 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced...' - nope not this time! I'm sad. I don't want to rush her, but I am so uncomfortable and miserable and for the first time this entire pregnancy my fingers/toes are starting to retain water and swell... that part is not fun... at all! Sleep is horrid. I get maybe 1-2 hours of interrupted sleep all night long... it is very difficult for me to roll from side to side when I sleep. It's a lot of work for me to get from one side to the other. That's when you know you're belly is gigantic! I feel like I have been hit by a train and am a walking zombie these days. Let's get this show on the road... I think I will be getting more sleep when Khloe actually arrives than I am getting now. Crazy, huh?! Her kicking has slowed down a little... she's still wild crazy in there. LOL But, the only good news that my doctor reported was that she is definitely in position and ready to arrive - I didn't hear the "soon" word, though. I am hoping to report completely different news after my 38 week doctor appointment next week... keep your fingers crossed! :)

Projects this week:

1. I bought Khloe's cradle bedding... it's darling... pink minky dot material. Her wooden cradle will be in our room for atleast the first month. We'll see her progress after that. Soonafter, she will start sleeping in her crib in her nursery. So, I put her bedding in her cradle and it is awaiting her. :)



2. Last night, we assembled her stroller and car seat. It's cute! I really like it. I am tired of all the pinks, so I refused to buy a pink travel stroller and car seat. Instead, we stuck with the Eddie Bauer travel stroller that is browns/tans and a tint of green. It's very neutral... which is good... it can be used for a boy or a girl. It's ready to go. I didn't realized how heavy it was though. Hopefully it doesn't bug me when she's in it. I still need to get her pink chicco umbrella stroller from The Baby's Room... that one I don't mind that it's pink, because it is not her main stroller and it is more for convenience like walks in the neighborhood and stuff like that. She doesn't need the umbrella stroller right away, so I'll pick it up in a few weeks.



3. Yesterday, I put her pink closet organizer together with the cloth drawers. It took me forever. I had to carry in one piece at a time because it is heavy solid wood... but I didn't want to wait on Kevin to get out of work. I was anxious. Boy, did her organizer make a difference in her closet. Wow! It made SO much extra space. I would recommend any mom buying one for their baby's room. With all the extra space for storage, it comes in very handy. I love it... it's pink and I coordinated it with chocolate, pink and green drawers (to match her nursery colors).





I had told you before that her swing and nursery rocker were assembled this week, too, right? I love them too. I am posting individual pictures of each of these items. I don't want to spoil the surprise and take pictures of the entire nursery, because I'm still waiting on her curtains (valances/panels), lamp shade, embroidered blankets and rug. So, when they come in... which should be atleast in the next week or so, I will take pictures of her entire nursery and share them on my blog. Won't be long... :) I am going to finish filling up Khloe's hospital bag and my bag, today.







The only craving I have had lately is water, water and more water. I don't know why, but for the last 5-6 months, I haven't been able to drink ANYTHING ELSE but water... no sprite, tea, juices... nothing but water! I guess it's a good craving to have. I CRAVE it. I will drink 10 or more 16-20 oz bottles of water each day. At night, I wake up several times to find myself drinking full bottles of water in one breath practically. I'll easily drink 3-4 bottles of water in the middle of the night. Craziness! That could be a lot of the pressure in my stomach. I don't know where all that water goes, but I'm sure it is part of the factor making me uncomfortable and Khloe squirm so much. LOL

20 Days to Go and Counting Every Second...

Baby Shower #2 for Khloe - 6-6-09...

Saturday was my second Baby Shower for Khloe. It was great, because this one was for all my friends from school, best friends and my side of the family. The girls were a lot of fun. For some reason last weekend everyone had family events going on, so a lot of the girls on my guest list couldn't make it... I was sad. But, my friends that did make it were some of my BEST FRIENDS and I love them to death! Thanks ladies for making it a great day... and thanks to my lovely Hostesses who put alot of time into making the shower a fun one - Kentrina, Rachel and Amy! The games were great, Kentrina... thanks girls! The shower started at 1pm and wasn't over until 3pm. All the gifts were fun, too! I have friends/family with excellent taste. Khloe got a lot of adorable outfits, gorgeous blankets (Thanks, Chandra!), a darling painting (hand painted by Rachel and Amy - nice job, ladies!) and tons of necessessities that I needed for her.

We are about done with the nursery, too. Yippee! Kevin put her Nursery Chair together yesterday (it's a Best Chair - they're great!) and I love it! It's Loman Green and it matches her nursery perfectly! Woo Hoo! It fit perfectly in there... we just had to rearrange a couple pieces of furniture to make it work. But, it's perfect now. Kevin has hung some pictures and a couple balls from the ceiling for me. It's all coming together. I have been organizing Khloe's dresser drawers and closet and bathroom, too. Yesterday, I cleaned out the guest bathroom closet (the bathroom that will be hers and is connected to her nursery). I took almost everything off the shelves and put all her shampoos, lotions, powders, bath toys, tub, bathrobes, towels and washclothes in there. Wow... things are becoming very organized... Hooray! There are some things that we still need, though, for her room... humidifier (MUST have for all children), contour changing pad for her changing dresser, her nursery rug (to go in front of her crib), cradle bedding (the cradle will be in our room for atleast the first month or so), diaper genie and closet organizer with drawers. Those are all things that I will get this week. Since I finally bought the diaper bag that I wanted, I will spend part of my day today packing it for the hospital... you never know when her big arrival will be. I will be 37 weeks along on Wednesday and at 37 weeks they are considered FULL TERM, so it is safe to deliver at any time. I'm really thinking she is going to be here a couple of weeks early... it may just be a wish, but atleast I'll be prepared!

Here are some fun pictures from my Baby Shower on Saturday...

One of my cakes that Kentrina ordered for the Shower... cute!


I'm standing by Rachel/Amy's painting for Khloe's Nursery - Nice Job, Ladies!


These Next Pictures are of the Belly Measuring Game... The girls had to cut a piece of yarn and guess how big my belly was. They all came up afterwards to see how close they were. They had to cut their excess string and whoever's string was shortest (after measureing me) won!

Terri measuring her string - Uh... WAY OFF GIRL! LOL She must have thought I was GIGANTIC! :o)


Sheena & Terri's strings were the LONGEST... They lost! Their strings almost fit around me TWICE... LOL!!!


Kim and Laura had the Shortest Strings... Thanks Girls! LOL


The Next Shower Game was cute, too. The girls had to draw with Crayons what they thought Khloe would look like when she is born. They were not allowed to look at their drawing, though... and had to draw the picture with the paper plate on their foreheads! Hilarious... They all CRACKED UP the entire game!

Julie is holding up her plate - her pictures was one of the final three. She drew a reddish brown haired girl with a bow in her hair (LOL).


Andrea is trying hard to draw Khloe - too funny!!!


The girls laughing hysterically trying to draw Khloe without looking!


Angela's Picture Won - She is the only one that drew Khloe with blonde hair.(Kevin and I both had really blonde hair when we were infants.)


Gift Opening Time...







A Group Picture of the Ladies that attended my Shower - Love you ALL!!


I'm standing with two of the Hostesses of my Shower - Kentrina (L) and Rachel (M). Thanks girls for a fun time!


After the Shower, I headed to Peyton's Baseball Game...

My sister, Jen, and I... (if you look close, you will see Peyton behind us in the outfield!)



I will post a new blog Wednesday after my 37 weeks doctor visit and tell you the progress... I'm hoping to hear that I'm dilated and effaced and it will only be a few more days. LOL Wishful thinking. I do want to know if she is in position ready to come out into the world, though. I'll keep you posted!

I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend!! Have a great week, too! XOXO

Peyton's Last Day of School - 6-4-09

Today was Peyton's last day at Cooper Elementary... his last day of Elementary school period... and his last day of 4th Grade. Next year he goes on to Middle School in Bentonville. He is so excited! I can't believe how fast our kiddos grow up... it's quite depressing. He will be 11 years old in November. I just can't believe it! He is a good boy and I think what he is most excited about next year is having his own personal locker AND more girls to choose from. Hee hee! Boys... they are so funny!! He had his share of girlfriends at Cooper... let's see what happens next year. I love you, little guy!

It has become a tradition of ours to take a picture of Peyton getting into the car on his last day of school each year... he always holds up enough fingers to show the camera what grade he is going into. So, this year, he jumped in the truck and held up 5 fingers - standing for 5th Grade. It was a bitter/sweet day... apparently, Peyton's favorite teachers cried today. They were such great teachers and it stinks that they won't be at his middle school next year... I just love them! Especially Peyton's favorite teacher - Ms. Deronda Ray!

Here are two pictures I took of Peyton when I picked him up today...

This one is our traditional last day of school photo - Peyton's holding up 5 fingers for 5th Grade!



This one is another picture of Peyton pulling out his project that he has been working on this last semester at school. It's a beautiful bowl... I love it!!

Lisa's Baby is Here... Bella Grace!

My cousin, Lisa, had her baby yesterday at Willow Creek Women's Hospital in Johnson (which is where I'll be delivering in a couple of weeks). Her baby was born at 10:47am (6-2-09). She named her Bella Grace. Bella weighed 7lbs 2oz and was 19.5" long. She was a little thing. It was amazing how fast she clinged to her mother... she instantly new her mom and was very calm when her mother talked to her (that just amazes me!). Anyway, she was a little doll. Congratulations Lisa!

Here are some pictures of Baby Bella...

36 Weeks Doctor Check-up...

Today was my 36 weeks doctor checkup with my doctor (Dr.Cunningham). It was a good visit. I didn't have to wait at all (I usually don't...considering her has been my doctor for almost 13 YEARS!)... so that's always nice to walk right in and be seen! Yeah! But, my belly is definitely measuring nicely. It won't stop growing. Becky, my doctor's assistant/nurse, commented today that I was ALL BELLY and how cute she thought it was. I beg to differ... I just can't bring myself to think my belly is cute this late in the game. LOL I had my Strep B Test done today (had no idea that the swab was going were it went... LOL!), so hopefully all is good there! I did gain several pounds since my last doctor visit... they commented that the majority of it is water retention at this stage and lots of amniotic fluids, so it shouldn't be hard to lose the bulk of it during labor. Yeah! Dr. Cunningham brought in one of the other doctor's today to just look at my PUPPP Rash... it's pretty rare, so I guess he wanted him to see what it looked like up close. LOL He must have been a new doctor. I still hate this stinking rash... it still itches and drives me crazy. Some of it has gone away, only to leave nasty purplish/red scares behind (kind of like the scars you keep for year after having chicken pox as a child... GRRRR!!!!). I am going to need a skin peel all over my body after this... maybe some lazer, too. (Not kidding!) Hee! I mentioned that I would love for Khloe to be born early to my doctor and he said it's fine as long as I make it past one more week. In one more week (37 weeks) all babies are FULLY developed and are considered FULL TERM, so it's safe to deliver any time once you hit week 37. PLEASE GOD... LET KHLOE BE BORN EARLY!!

I am getting more and more uncomfortable by the day and my belly has dropped SO much that it feels like my belly is falling and I'm having to carry so much extra weight. I am so sleep deprived, too... I think I'm averaging maybe 2 hours of sleep a night lately. I can't find a comfortable spot at all... most of the time I find myself sitting up and trying to get some sleep. I usually don't fall asleep until around 5am or so. Then, I get up at 7am to take Peyton to school (thank God tomorrow is the last day of school... Whew!). I have so much pressure at the bottom of my belly and my back... just miserable. It's getting harder and harder just to walk. :( Plus, Khloe is still such an active baby in my womb... man, she just does not quit stretching, kicking, twisting, turning and just plain throwing a fit... it has been hurting me lately so much that the only thing I can do to make myself feel better is cry. I cry pretty much every day because of all the discomfort! :( She will be so worth all the pain and discomfort once she is here. I just can't wait for that day!!! Hurry up, Baby Khloe!

Some other good news... The Baby's Room called me today to tell me that my rocker/glider for Khloe's nursery is already in. Yeah!!!! I can't believe how quick that was. I ordered it in a green fabric, so it should look cute in her nursery with her colors and theme. :o) I'll pick it up tomorrow! My last Baby Shower is in three days (Saturday)... I'll post pics as soon as it's over!

Our CRAZY, BUSY Weekend...

This weekend was another VERY BUSY WEEKEND... but, at least were accomplished! :)

Friday night, Peyton had a baseball game against one of the better teams in the Bentonville League. They crushed the other team - with a score of 13-4. It was a great game... they all played so well! Friday was also their team pictures... I'll post them when they come in! I'm loving Peyton's hairstyle... it's not too long and super adorable (for a boy)!

Saturday, Kevin met up with his buddies and went canoeing on the Elk and they camped out Saturday night. Their intentions were to float 28 miles in two days and have a great time. Kevin's good friends, Ken and Jackson, were in town from Tulsa (Skiatook, OK) and Jackson brought his brother and a friend of his from Rogers. They all were between 31 & 45 years of age. Somehow the trip went terribly wrong. Kevin was tired on waiting on incompetant/slow pokes the entire weekend and because of it he would go ahead of them and stop to hike trails or fish in fishing holes. He said it was like dragging 40 cinder blocks behind his canoe the entire trip. The other guys (besides Ken) were apparently very immature and putting a damper on Kevin's enjoyable (or what was supposed to be an enjoyable) weekend. Anyway, somehow on Sunday, Kevin waited for the other guys to show up (he had gone on without them to enjoy some fishing that morning). They never showed and apparently had taken the easy way out and caught a bus ride to the camp ground they were supposed to end their float trip at (leaving Kevin behind). All the guys had brought their cell phones on the trip and of course Kevin did not have his because he takes the outdoors very seriously and leaves all that behind... it's called trying to survive and accomplish "roughing" it. Kevin waited for them for over 3 hours and none of them showed up. He called me and told me there was a change of plans and I was to pick him up at the Low Water Bridge because the guys were not with him (he borrowed a cell phone from some other canoers that were close by to call me). Long story short, I picked him up and even though he was not happy with the other guys that had been on the trip with him, he still called them (once he was in the car with me) to see where they were (and because they had one of his canoes). The point they were waiting at was the originally planned end point... but, they had gotten a ride and loaded their canoes to get there. They were so angry at Kevin when we got there and were cursing at him and kicking his canoe and acting very juvenile. The sad thing is that one of the guys that was making a butt of himself was one of Kevin's good friends from college... he was even a Groomsman in our wedding. Needless to say, the words that they said to Kevin were inappropriate and out of an anger rage... and unfortunately, there were some long term friendships that ended that day. But, Kevin doesn't need to be around trash like that... so, I'm fine with it and I know he is, too! I couldn't begin to tell you the horribly mean things they were saying to him and threatening to do to him. I'm just glad my hubby didn't kill them! LOL He kept his composure and was the better person (which is unlike him to allow people to walk on him like that). I'm proud of you honey!!

Saturday early afternoon, I went to a friend's baby shower. Chandra McFarlane's. She is 10 days ahead of me in her pregnancy and is expecting a little boy in THREE weeks! It was a good time... she looks so cute preggers! The hostesses were wonderful, too! The shower was from 2-5pm on Saturday. Chandra, Julie and I are all friends and we got pregnant within the same same week and a half last year. Chandra is 10 days ahead of me... Julie is 3 days ahead of me... and I'm hoping I have Khloe at least 2 weeks early. I think my belly is so much bigger than both of theirs. I don't know why... I hope Khloe is not an enormous baby... that labor will not be fun! LOL

Here are some pictures from Chandra's Baby Shower on Saturday...







Peyton had two baseball games on Saturday, too. Unfortunately, they didn't win either game. Gosh, those boys. They are all great players, but they have so many off days. Wow! Afterwards(since I was still at Chandra's shower), Peyton left his game with my parents and went to their house in Springdale. It was a long day. When I went to pick Peyton up after the shower, I swiped my little sister (Jen- who is 18) and had her come stay the night with us... because Kevin was on his canoe/float trip.

Sunday, Jen, Peyton and I went to my favorite coffee shop (YUMMY - Kennedy Coffee)and enjoyed some yummy specialty drinks and then headed on to Springdale (Tyson Complex) for a surprise 29th Birthday party for my brother-in-law, PJ (my sister's new hubby). He wanted to have a family/friends softball game for his birthday, so my sister (Tasha) made it happen that following weekend. He actually turned 29 on Wednesday. Tasha goes all out for birthdays, so it was a huge deal. We cooked out and there were around 50 people that showed up. Fun in the sun! I wish I could have been a part of the game, but I don't think it is wise for a 9 mos pregnant woman to be playing softball. LOL The party was from 1:30-5:30pm. I had to leave around 4:30pm, though, to pick Kevin up in Missouri from his horrid float trip. LOL Wow... busy busy weekend... told you! :o)

That's all I have for you... I hope you all had a great weekend! My cousin, Lisa, is getting induced at 5am tomorrow... she is supposed to be having a little girl. Anyway, I will be at the hospital tomorrow for that. My 9 mos (36 weeks) doctor visit is Wednesday... that's when he check to see if I've dilated any and give me the Strep B Test. Then, this Saturday is my 2nd Baby Shower (this one my friend/cousin is throwing). It will be another action packed week and weekend... no doubt!
