Wow-it's been a long time since I have posted in this blog.I almost didn't know my password!LOL.Anyways-the news for now is that I am 37 and 1/2 weeks pregnant.I go in tomorrow for a doctors appointment to see if I am dialated anymore than last time.I was a 1 last time and the babies head was in place low in the pelvice.She said she wouldn't doubt it if I was more dialated next time.If I am more dialated I am going to be induced on Thursday.AHHH-scary.I am praying about my low platelette count ...if it dips too low I cannot have an epidural.AHHHH.And the baby needs 2 rounds of antibiotics from the time of start os labor till birth so I praying for time for that too.Last time was such a whirl wind and so fast.I am hoping for more organization but a fast delivery this time.
So that is all ....hopefully my next post will be baby picture's!Yay!I can't wait to meet our Karis Joy.

Kindergarten Graduation and Awards night for Chase

Chase with his Genesis award

Well, the night started off with the 1st through 6th graders.The teachers give out awards to every kid in the class which I think is awesome of them because every child is good at something and deserves to be recognized and praised for their gifts and abilities.How terrible would it be to walk away from awards night empty handed.Anyways,Chase got his award for Academic acheivement in reading (the boy loves books) and most curious.(which is why he loves that show "how it's made")Then after all the classes where done the principle came up to give out the Genesis Award which is the award for Christian character and academic acheivement for their grade.Only one child gets it per grade and all the teachers have to agree on it together.Well, Chase got it for the second year in a row and I am so proud of him.Sometimes as a mom you wonder if you are doing all you can for your kids.Especially when they are hitting pre teen age and start to act a little "sassy".At least I know when he goes to school he is behaving in a way that would make me proud!I am so grateful for him.He is precious!

Than Kaydens' graduation started.They walked in in a row with their little caps and gowns on!So cute.This is terrible but i can't remember what award she got!The teacher didn't give them the real award because they would crumple it up, and my camera got jammed right when she went up so I didn't catch the first award but I know she got most participation.I missed the academic one.It will come home today though.Anyways, it was a wonderful night and the school does such a good job honoring the work the kids put in every year.I am one blesses momma.I looked at mike during the graduation and said "this would have been our last kindergarten graduation if it weren't for baby #3!"

Update

Well, today is the last week of school for Kayden and Chase.Tonight is award ceremony and Kindergarten graduation.I will be bringing a big box of tissue's for this one!I can't believe Kayden is done with Kindergarten and Chase will be 10 in one month.It's all too much for me in this pregnant weepy state!But it is all good tears of joy!They are ready for summer activities and I am just hoping I can keep up with them!I am still more tired than usual but I definately have more energy than the last trimester.I went off of my medicine for nausea yesterday and so far I have had no vomiting.I am keeping my fingers crossed.I just hate to take anything if it's not absolutely necessary.Everything is going well with the baby.She is healthy and measuring fine so far.We still haven't nailed down a name but I don't think we'll know for sure untill we write it on the birth certificate.I will update tomorrow and let everyone know what awards they got and post picture's so check back in tomorrow.

Well, today Mike and I went to lunch and then over to another ultra sound.This time they are 100% sure that we are having....A GIRL!!!!!
Hahahaha-The lady warned me that she wasn't 100% sure the last time.I kind of had a feeling it was a girl so everytime the kids would talk about "him" I would say "remember, she wasn't sure what it was." And they would say "I know".So they weren't too disappointed.Especially Kayden!!!So now I have plenty of clothes for her and pretty sure on a name, although Mike still wants to look around.He is not ready to commit to a name.
Anyways -that is the update for now.

Below is Kayden and Chase telling us what the sex of the baby is.The tech was pretty sure but not 100% sure so I will go back next week and get confirmation.

Is it a boy or girl?

Well, I am officially 12 weeks pregnant.I made it past the dreaded 11 week mark when I lost the last pregnancy.I went to the doctor and we still had a nice strong heart beat.I got some relief from the sickness from Zofran.I had to take something because I wasn't keeping anything down at all.It is a miracle drug!I have only gotten sick once since taking it in the last week and a half.I have gotten back to my life again.The kids are so happy to have mommy back in action and I'm sure Mike is too.I am still nauseous most of the day but it is much much better.
Cute stuff is that Kayden talks to the baby all the time because she wants it to learn her voice.I don't have the heart to tell her that it doesn't have hearing just yet!It's a good habit for her to get into for later.The kids where fighting over whether it will be a boy or girl and Kayden decided that she didn't care anymore, either will be fine.We should know the sex in about 3-4 weeks.
Other than that, we have no more news.But I plan to be a better blogger during the pregnancy to keep people posted.Keep praying for my health and the babies!
