Baby shower for baby Jacob

My mom had a really nice baby shower for me back in November to celebrate our new addition that will be here in December. I had so many wonderful people show up and enjoy a great afternoon. With school I don't get to see many of my friends a lot but this really made up for it.

Really love this picture.A really good friend of mine made me my cake for the shower and did an AMAZING job. My three little girls. Talk about cute!

My Italian family!

What a great group of women. Over the years of going to school I have met the most amazing people and love the friendship that I have made with them....Your looking at the future nurses!

My friend Nicole and I at the shower. So happy she was able to come :)

Went to visit Santa

Jake and I took the girls to visit Santa at the mall just a few weeks ago. The girls were really excited and Kaelyn made him a picture of what she wanted for Christmas.

Talia would not smile for the camera, last year she made funny faces by pulling the sides of her mouth open and sticking her tongue out.

Halloween fun at preschool

Talia joining in on the Halloween games. She is playing fish with a spider.

This was at Kaelyns Halloween prty for school with her buddy Gunner...Of course she is not looking at the camera.

Here I am at 38 weeks prego!

37 weeks

Finally at 37 weeks and boy let me tell you this little man has not been easy at all. I was hospitalized yesterday for being to dehydrated. When I went into the hospital I was just having really bad back pains. When I got there I was hooked to the monitor and I was having minnie contractions. Then the oh so fun puking all over myself...uhhhhh not fun. They hooked me to an IV and it helped the contractions go away. So when I was ready to leave again the oh so wonderful thing happened again....So they kept me longer! Well now I'm at home and trying to rest but want I really want is this little guy to be here so I can get my body back to normal. It has been nice to have Jake home and he is taking GREAT care of me :)

Update on life

Today I am 34 weeks pregnant and I have 42 more days to go. It seems to have gone really quickly and now the last few weeks are lagging. I have 2 more weeks of school and they have been pretty stessful. I guess with the holidays it doesn't make it any easier as well as Jake working 7 days a week. I'm not complaining that Jake is working to much, I mean I'm grateful that he has a job but I'm so tired. I feel that I have had to ask for help from people and I hate it, I'm someone that normally doesn't do that and it makes me feel weak.
The baby on the last visit was 5lbs and with 8 more weeks to go I'm scared he will be bigger than the girls were. The doctor has said that I can be induced on the 20th so I think that is the game plan for now. Of course I will go and try to have him come on his own but I don't know how much pressure I can take with him. I can't sleep and walking is hard especially chasing Talia who has no found it funny to run from me because it takes me a while to catch her. Yesterday the teachers helper at Kaelyns school had to grab her after me running for 5 mins and having no success in getting her.
We have decided on making him a Jr. and naming him after my husband. I love Jakes name and since I have NO desire to have more babies I felt it was perfect. I'm just so curious to see who he will look like. I really hope that he looks like Kaelyn to even out. It's funny when people ask me where the blonde hair and blue eyes come from. I laugh at it because it feels like people are asking if she is from another man. The kid looks like a MILHOAN people, maybe I should carry Jakes picture with me and her uncle Issacs picture to prove it. She has the same eye color as I do! Anyways it's fun at time then just rude other.
Hopefully next time I post it will be with a picture of our little Jacob :)

Candy for the troops

Our local dentistry place that I take the girls to was offering cash for Halloween candy to send to the Troops overseas. I was already at the dentist with the two older girls so I called Joe to bag up some candy and bring it to me. He brought candy alright, but not as much as what I would of brought. I guess he did not want to let go of the good stuff. The girls bag weighed 3 lbs so they got three dollars and some toys. I went home to see how much the other bag at home was and the weight on that was 10lbs...So the girls had 13lbs of candy from Halloween...sheesh!
