Weekend update

             This weekend we went camping (sort if).  We were supposed to go for the whole weekend but there was a big fire by oak city and the fire restrictions only allowed fires in one area so we ended up only going up Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning.  Hayden loved it of course.  He ran around all day until Matt took him on a four wheeler ride and he crashed creating this pathetically cute picture:)  Of course he woke up as soon as we tried to put him in the tent but he was pretty happy so we didn't mind.  He crashed on the air mattress that night (in the middle of course) and so Matt was kind enough to sleep on the floor of the tent so Hayden and I could sleep comfortably on the mattress.  I was worried I would have to make ten trips to the bathroom but I didn't have to get up once thankfully!  Hayden woke up the next morning and was so happy when he realized we were in a tent!  I want to go again so bad before the baby comes but i'm afraid we might be cutting it a little close.

                                                                           Baby news. . .

36 weeks

It's almost baby time!  I'm thirty six weeks now and the induction date is scheduled for just a couple days before my due date.  (i'm due on a Sunday so we decided to do a couple days early to keep his birthday a little further from the holiday and so Matt can have a longer stretch off work without using up all his vacation)    I'm still praying a go early on my own (doubtful) just because I don't want to be induced.   I had a doctors appointment today and found out I am dilated to a 2 and 80% effaced and his head is nice and low.  Wish this gave ANY indication of anything! Things were so easy with Hayden i'm scared that if we force labor that it will be twice as hard.  Yes i'm a baby, I know, but I really like the idea of a two hour labor and 2 pushes:)  since they usually say labor is cut in half with the second baby. I'm not in a rush to have him or anything.  I actually feel super great.  Better than I did with Hayden even, and I have SOOOOOO much to do so i'm kind of freaking out because I know i'm not going to be able to get it all done.  I mostly just want to avoid his birthday being forgotten/combined with the 24th every year so looks like 3 1/2 weeks and here comes baby ready or not!

         

Movin on in!

              Well we finally closed on our house on Thursday!!! I guess that means we can move in. . . oh wait we already did.  Luckily even though we weren't able to close last Friday, Edge was okay with us moving our stuff in which was a big relief to me since he was leaving on the 13th to go to some training in California for work.  Thank you to everyone who came and helped.  We took two truck loads full down on Friday night and were able to move everything else out of the apartment and into the house in about three hours.  Record time!  Not closing still put a few kinks in our plans but we're managing! We couldn't order our appliances until after we closed so Hayden and I have been lucky enough to get to use a cooler as a fridge for the past few days.  Luckily we can pick it up Saturday and make our lives a whole lot easier!  We also don't have a washer and dryer until the 20th I think.  We've been able to do laundry at our apartment while we were cleaning until today when I locked the door for the last time and left the keys.  As far as apartments go I don't think we could have found much better to live in for 6 years but i can't say that i will miss the tiny living quarters and no yard and I know Hayden won't!  It just about killed me to clean that place though!  I never want to clean another wall or base board again! It's too bad I wasn't closer to my due date because I'm pretty sure that would have sent me into labor.  Thankfully my mom was able to come help me a couple times to get it over with quicker.
                  Unpacking has been as expected. . . a nightmare!  How do I decide where to put everything???  I finally just started throwing things in cupboards and closets and decided I could organize as I go.  There's so many things we need I can't even believe it!
                  Hayden seems to be adjusting well.  He was a little confused at first.  We would tell him we were going home to the house and he would say "house not home".  He wasn't mad or sad or anything.  He was just confident that the house was not called home.  After a few days I think he got it and now he says "house is home not apartent".  It's pretty funny listening to him explain everything to us like we don't know what's going on.  He's loving being able to be outside more.  We will open the garage door and he drives his little four wheeler up and down the driveway for as long as we'll let him.  I can't believe how good he has been about not going in the street too!  At our apartment the first thing he would do was bolt to the road but he has been so good here.  Even if his ball rolls in the road he will come get me to hold his hand so we can go and get it together.  I won't pretend that he hasn't had a few hang ups but I don't think they have anything to do with moving because he started doing them before we moved.  He randomly decided that he needs to fall asleep in our bed now and then we have to move him.  I'm really hoping that when we get his new bed he will think it is super awesome and we won't have to make him go to bed in his own bed.  Other than that he seems to be doing just fine!
             Hopefully someday I will get things decorated so I can post pictures but I'm not sure I would count on it!  So much to do in the next four weeks and I don't even know where to begin!
