Some New Pictures

Our new arrival

We finally had our third baby! It turned out Janeen was right--it was a baby girl. We named her Kenzie Eldredge (I know no middle name, that was Josh). She weighted 8 lbs 14 oz and was 21 inches long. She was by far our biggest baby yet and hopefully the biggest if there are any future children. She made her grand enterance at 6:12 am on Oct 15. The labor nice and short--only two hours from the first contraction to her being born. My prayers were answered because we did make it to the hospital but of course not in time for any medication (I was already a 10 when we got there). The doctor did miss the delivery; he showed up about 5 minutes too late but the nurses did a great job. I think Josh had fun driving, he got to go 100 or so on the freeway. One of my sisters said she was glad I got to the hospital but it would have made a better story if I had had her in the car. If it is true that each additional labor gets shorter than it may be the case with the next one. Caden and Micaela love her and want to hold and touch her all the time. Micaela is having a harder time adjusting I think because she is getting into everything and knows just how to upset Josh and me. Here are some pictures of Kenzie and everyone else. Enjoy!

Little Progress

Well I had another dr's appointment and I am now at 3 1/2 cm. Hopefully it will not be much longer....

It's almost Time!

Today I went to my ob appt and had my group b strep test done and got checked for any progress. My problem is I have had too much progress--I am already almost a 3, about 70% effaced(how is that spelled??) and the dr could feel the baby's head. This would have been great news if I was already 37 weeks but at 36 it is not to good. So now I get to sit here all day and stare at all the boxes sitting in my house and do nothing. Normally having unpacked boxes would not bother me but knowing I can't do anything about it is sort of annoying. Hopefully I make it till Tuesday so I will be 37 weeks until then I am allowed to be lazy(the last time I get to enjoy that for a long time)!

Work Party

So about a week ago Josh had a work party that we went to. It was lots of fun and there were a lot of things for the kids to do. They had a little train ride, a blow up jump house, face painting and of course a pinata. They also had mexican hot dogs (which consist of a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with beans, grilled onions, and pico de gallo), mexican tacos (which are my favorite!) and smoked chicken. They also had shaved ice which Caden loved! He would wonder off and when we would go find him he would be at the shaved ice station getting another one. I think he got about 6 just by himself. Although we did have a good time I go soooo many mosquito bites! I think I counted 30 total! We are in the desert! There are not supposed to be mosquitos here. Here are some pictures from the event.

Here is Micaela riding the train. She loved it an ended up riding it several more times.


So when we first got there Caden was really grouchy so Micaela was having fun on the train, this is what Caden was doing...



That was until he discovered shaved ice!


The local Fire Fighters came out and sprayed everyone down with their hose.



And Caden loved it! He was soaked!

Delivery

So I have been having these weird dreams during this pregnancy that I deliver my baby either at home or in the car. Once we move we will be about 45 mins away from the hospital so my anxiety level is fairly high. So today at my appointment I told my Dr about my concerns hoping he would just say that I could have a scheduled induction but that was not the reply. He told me to bring Josh in to one of my appointments so he could tell him how to deliver the baby if he needs too. Great! That was the exact answer I wanted. Hopefully we will not have to resort to that but we shall see...
