A Little Birthday Surprise

A month ago I set up a surprise birthday dinner for Jaime with some friends from his childhood/high school days. Bel helped me pull it off perfectly saying that their parents wanted us all to go out to dinner together. Jaime thought that's where we were going. The kids said they wanted to ride with Grandma and Grandpa and so off Jaime, Bel, Chris, and I went on to Lu +Lu Craftbar and Kitchen for our dinner reservations. When we got there I said we had reservations and she told us where our table was. We walked over to it and Jaime was confused to see people sitting there. Then he realized that he knew who these people were! They stood up and said Happy Birthday! Jaime was so surprised. 

Brad Charvet and his wife and then Trevor Galey. I was a little bummed that his wife Megan came down ill that afternoon. Steve Aguilar was going to be there but his family was sick also. And as for Chrises Snyder and Sartain they were not going to be in the area to be able to come but sent their well wishes to Jaime. And of course Bel, she graduated with these guys and knew them as well. So even though it only turned out to be two friends that Jaime hasn't seen in a long time we still had a great time! Lots of laughing and good conversation amongst good food. Trevor was such a sweetheart and bought mine and Jaime's dinner. 

I loved that I was able to pull this off and have Jaime totally surprised. And at the end of it they all said let's not wait as long to get together again.

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
