D Day

Tomorrow is the big day! I was dilated to about a 4 last week so the doctor scheduled me to be induced tomorrow. Hopefully I'll just have my water broken and be good to go. I was hoping this time I'd be able to go into labor on my own, but I don't think it is ever going to happen. Maybe a week or so over my due date. I'm so nervous and excited. I'm excited to hold her and see if she has hair and what she looks like. I'm excited to see how big she is. My guess is 8 pounds 5 oz. :) I'm nervous about having a barely 2 year old and a new baby. The kids are all excited. They have been counting down the days for about a month and a half. It was fun to tell them this morning that tomorrow is the big day. I'm not sure if Spencer understands completely, but I think he gets that Karley is a baby. I just don't know if he understands that she will be living with us for ever and mommy is going to be holding her a lot. Well, whether I'm ready or not it's happening tomorrow. I just hope all goes well and we get to come home with a healthy (and preferably) happy baby girl.

Spencer's turning 2!!

I can't believe my baby boy is turning two. It seems like only yesterday I had him. He has brought so much joy into our lives. He was the best baby and he's turned into a silly little boy. He loves to sing, his favorite songs right now are: "I love to see the Temple", "Choose the Right", "Follow the Prophet", "Fireworks" and ABCs, He likes to watch a little Signing Time and Sesame Street. He keeps us on our toes and is constantly getting into something or climbing onto something. He loves to swing a baseball bat and hit the ball. He likes to ride big wheels and go swimming. He loves to ride Papa's tractor. He can be so sweet and he gives the best hugs and kisses. He can also be a little pest like when he pulls out Audrey's hair or throws a cup filled with something on the floor. We are so blessed to have in our family.

Karley Marie is due in 3 weeks. It seems so soon. This pregnancy went by so quickly. I've been feeling pretty good. This last week my feet started swelling and my back and leg ligaments are hurting. It's not too bad though. Next week I'll get checked to see if I've dilated at all. I'm still not having very many contractions so I won't be surprised if I haven't dilated much at all. I still have a lot to do with work and the house before I'm ready for Karley to make her debut. Here is a picture from the end of March. I just thought it was cute.
