Pump it Up

Today we went to an Indoor bounce place called Pump it Up. Beth and Kevin had given us a gift card to go there for http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifKatelynn's birthday and I was just waiting to use it at a good time and before the baby came. Today was that day. She had a great time. She kept saying "bounce" and "fun." I know that she would love to go again, but I have no idea when that will happen.
There was a big gym obstacle course thing that she could go through, but the first time in there she got stuck and I couldn't see where she was in it and I couldn't get myself through that. I had another mom go in and see what was going on. I knew she was okay since I didn't hear her crying but she couldn't stay there the whole time. So, we got her out and she went back in there, this time she made it up the stairs and down the slide out. She got faster and faster on the maze that one time I saw her go in, but I didn't see her come out so, I thought was coming, but I looked over and there she was playing somewhere else. Going there also made for a great naptime. It is open play from 10-11:30, so we got home, ate lunch and she was in her bed waiting for me for naptime!






"Camping"

Last weekend we went to Courtwright Resivour (sp). Caleb needed Ben's help with a rock climbing expedition that he had for the youth in his stake. A friend of Ben's has a "cabin" up there and let us use it for the weekend. Well, Katelynn LOVED the whole experience. She thought it was the greatest thing.
We got to the cabin about 6pm on Thursday and got settled in. We walked in and there are no walls. Just the framing with electrical and plumbing going through it. The electricity works with a generator, which was way too loud so we turned that off and the plumbing just goes to one toilet, that we spent a good 30 minutes trying to find the valve to turn on the plumbing. So, it was pretty much an over sized tent with a toilet. We probably won't stay there again until more walls are up and more plumbing is working.
Sleeping wasn't great since there was a queen bed but Katelynn had to sleep with us. In between us. Kicking us. Laying on top of us. So, we learned our lesson there. Katelynn is a crazy women when she sleeps. And no, she does not sleep with us at home. The next day was when Ben did his climbing thing with Caleb. I decided that staying at the cabin would not be a fun choice so here I went tromping through the woods 9 months pregnant. It was a 15 min walk that Katelynn was able to do. She did really well there and had a great time checking out the ants on steroids. She was able to walk all the way there but was not interested in walking back so, Ben had to carry her out. We decided to leave when Ben was finished that afternoon. Sleeping there another night didn't sound so exciting.
I am glad that we went though. It was something for us to do together. Katelynn did pretty well for the drive. She watched some movies slept a little and we didn't have any whining in the car. It wasn't until the last twenty minutes to home that she vomited. We ate dinner at Shaver and then 30 minutes later when it happened. So, we are aware of that now and will prepare ourselves for that next time.
I have a couple of pics but i forgot to take my camera out of the bag so they are on my phone.

Mulan
A few weeks ago we watched Mulan and then went out to the pool to swim. Well, you know how they were targeting with those dragon bombs in the movie when we went out to the pool she was targeting with the water guns that we have. It was hilarious to see her do that.

Katelynn has learned a new way of getting our attention and wanting us to be quiet. She will come up to you, hunch over a little, shake her hands in her face and say Sh SH SH. I can't wait to watch her do that with the baby!

She has started to line things up. Her little people toys and the Magnets on the fridge are the most popular.

I am really trying to enjoy these last few days that we have with just her. It will be so hard and different after the baby I just want to cherish the time that we have now together.

36 Weeks

And time has come to a stand still. I really don't remember being this uncomfortable and ready to have the little man last time. I think it has something to do with thhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife fact that Katelynn doesn't allow much time for rest throughout the day. Who would have thought that a two year old would keep you so busy? Just kidding.
Things are really going good. I am up to 19 lbs. Blood pressure is good. He moves in the most awkward positions and has dropped. I am starting to feel that if he drops any more he will be out. I haven't had any braxton hicks contractions and my feet haven't been swollen. I am just a really slow mover and the wretched nasal congestion has seemed to come back in full force. I really hope to be able to breathe better once he is born. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Katelynn has become really good at the dodging game when we need her to come to us which doesn't help me since I can't move quick to get her.

36 weeks with Katelynn. That is too funny. I am wearing the same shirt and look almost the same. I am hoping that this time I will be able to get one last picture of me at the hospital, but as we can see by those last few posts who knows what can happen.

As for his pregnancy book I have it totally completed except for writing in the details and putting in the pictures.

Nesting
The house is pretty much ready for him to come. I am trying to stay on top of the regular cleaning now so that the house might be clean when we come home from the hospital. I cleaned the front of the fridge and that looks amazing. I didn't realize how gross that was. Ben cleaned the shower and Katelynn helped wipe the walls. The carseat is ready and the pack and play is inside. I have a few meals in the freezer and am making another tonight.
I guess we are down to the wire so that means that we will be getting down the big stuff this weekend. Like the swing, rocker chair, bassinet to the Pack and Play, and some things that I used with Katelynn that I need like burp cloths white, onesies, the boppy. I think all of that will make it even more real. I just have been putting off getting that stuff down since Katelynn is just going to play with it all and be in it when I don't want her to. Fun is coming.
