Dr Appointment

Had an appointment with Jeanean. Kasey's heartrate was about 135 and strong. Friday Sept 19th I had several contractions in the afternoon. After laying down for a while we went to Oktoberfest, but on the way home I had about 5. Needless to say when we got home we got Landon to bed then I went to bed.

Things were much better on Saturday, but it had made me a little nervous. Jeanean wanted to check my cervix just to make sure, and all is well.

I'm doing well overall. Still working out, but starting to feel aches and pains a little more.

Oktoberfest, A&M vs Miami Game

We went to Oktoberfest this weekend on Friday night and on Sunday. We got to eat some good German food, and Greg got to drink some German beer. Landon got to have some fun as well. He got to go on a couple rides including his first roller coaster. Daddy went with him since I couldn't go. He got to go on the carousel a couple times and a few other rides where he go to ride around. Landon also go to see the dogs from the SPCA and watch part of a magic show. We let Landon walk (often holding hands because there were so many people), and this was the first event like this that we didn't bring the stroller. On Sunday Landon also got to get in the water they have and enjoyed splashing around and going up and down the stairs.

Saturday we went to A&M for the A&M vs Miami game. While we all felt the team had improved, it still wasn't pretty to watch. We did have fun tailgating before the game and a little bit afterwards.


Landon has started doing some new things. He now will feed Lady. He can poor the food into her bowl. He's also deciding more what he wants to eat. Especially at breakfast he'll sometimes throw a fit if he can't have a waffle. We still try to change it up some, but we also have to pick our battles. Landon can drain the water in his own bath. For a while he was taking a shower, but the last few nights he's taken a bath. He's also taken a bath in the smaller bathroom upstairs that will become his when he moves room.

Vacation

So our Turks and Caicos trip is canceled, but I really wanted to take a trip with Landon to a beach before Kasey is born. We had and idea that Landon and I would go on a cruise with my parents and uncle. So we were about to book it and the travel agent found out I was pregnant. The cruise line has a rule that you can't go unless you are 24 weeks pregnant or less. I guess a higher power is trying to tell me I need to stay home and not go on vacation.

Landon had his first injury report today from school. He fell while playing outside and got a boo boo. He's ok though, and the teacher said that he didn't cry but told her he fell down. They wiped it off, put a bandade on and sent home a note saying what happened.

Tonight we had our Allen TI moms playdate. Here are a few pictures from tonight.

Couple updates

Things are going pretty well. It's getting a little harder for me to move around and I'm getting more tired, but other than that I feel pretty good. Here is a picture of Landon and I on 9/8/08 (last Monday). Landon is wearing his Tony Romo Jersey from Grammy and Gramps.

I had an appointment with Jeanean last week (Monday 9/8/08). All is well with Kasey. She does seem to be moving more. I have started to see the waves on my stomach which are funny to see. Her heartbeat was about 148-150. I've gained about 8 pounds total which is pretty good.

We found out earlier this week that the resort we were going to beginning of October in Turks and Caicos is now closed until November 15th. They got hit by hurricanes Hanna and Ike and had enough repairs to close for an extended amount of time. Needless to say since I'm due November 29th we will have to cancel our vacation. I'm REALLY disappointed that we won't get to go. Maybe we'll get to go there some day.

I don't think I put this in before, but the last month or so Landon has decided that he likes salad. He used to not like tomatoes at all, and now he'll eat them by themselves. He also likes lettuce and ranch dressing.

Last Sunday (9/7/08) Landon decided he didn't want to take a bath, but take a shower. We gave him his first shower in the bathroom upstairs (he's had a few downstairs before), and most of the week he wanted to take a shower over a bath.

Landon also likes taking pictures. Of course they end up being a part of a leg or the floor, but he likes taking them.

Today we went to Kid to Kid to see about Halloween costumers. An old neighbor was there looking for outfits for her kids to play dress up. I thought that was a good idea so we got a dog outfit, a pirate outfit, and Elmo outfit. Landon can use one or more for Halloween and play dress up. He seemed to like all of them. A couple of the pictures are Landon looking at himself in the mirror.





















































Greg also started painting Landon's new room today. For those that have been to the house. We are transforming the Lion room into Landon's new room. We're painting it blue. He got a lot of painting done, but the edges (the hard part) he'll work on tomorrow. Landon of course wants to help with everything. He says he likes his room and of course wanted to sleep in there.

Good weekend

Saturday we got to go see Logan. Audrey's parents were in town so Grammy, Landon and I went to Gymboree and then went up to see them. Logan seems to be doing very well, and growing like crazy. Landon got to hold Logan for a minute. He wanted to hold him, then when he was holding him tried to sneak out from behind him.


Saturday afternoon we had Dave, Tracy and Doug over to watch the A&M and US soccer World Cup qualifying game. Greg cooked out, and Tracy brought over some really good guacamole and veggie & bean salad. Luckily both A&M and US won. We had a good time hanging out with everyone, and Landon was good entertainment.

We tried big boy pants (underwear) on Sunday. Landon was excited to wear them, but had an accident and wanted to put a diaper on. We'll try again later.

soccer game

Greg took Landon up to Pizza Hut Park area on Friday Sept 5th to see the second team play (they always do this the day after the game). The game was at the practice field and not at the stadium. Landon got to run around. He was playing with his new FC Dallas soccer ball, and Greg said he was kicking the ball and then kicked it into the goal. We haven't really taught him to kick the ball into the goal, but I wasn't surprised since Greg has soccer on almost every day. Landon also got to meet Kenny Cooper (one of the FC Dallas players that will probably be playing in Europe next year).

Bradley Classes

I'm in training now. We have started a Bradley refresher class. We'll go to 4 classes, and then do all of the exercising and practicing to get ready for the birth. With Landon I had a completely natural birth (no drugs or interventions), and I hope that Kasey's birth is very similar. Hopefully at least a little shorter but we'll see.

We have several exercises to do in the evenings and I practice relaxing so the bedtime routine has gotten much longer. I also seem to need more sleep, but that can be from several things.

We have a pretty busy schedule, and lots to do to prepare for Kasey so hopefully I can keep up.

We have gotten paint and new comforter for Landon's room, and we'll start getting his new room ready soon. We'll move the crib and changing table downstairs for a while, and then probably prepare the nursery after Kasey is born. The plan is to use Landon's furniture and decor for Kasey. I decided that spending $200+ for new decor is probably not worth it since we'd get new stuff anyway when she turns Landon's age. Also, I still don't think Landon pays attention to the decorations in his room.
