baby update

Alright so it's been a little while since I have said anything new about baby besides showers.  Lets see I have been having lots of contractions which are making me dialate and efface, I am currently about a 1 1/2 and 80% effaced and at a 0-1 station which means the babie's head is extremely low.  She said she had a hard time checking what i was measuring at because she couldn't reach my cervix to check because the babies head was too low.  So i'm hoping that means we will have a baby soon? Maybe.  Anyway lots of contractions and definitely cramping and pain, all come with this part of pregnancy i know, i'm just ready for my reward now!! He still needs to continue growing she said he is about 6 lbs so he is just a little tyke if that is correct.  I am starting to get nervous about actually giving birth and i'm starting to panic about whether or not I will know when i'm in labor.  We are definitely all ready for him to come, I feel so much more prepared now than i did a week ago.  I finished buying those last minute things that you need and were set! Hospital bag ready and car seat in car! So exciting, I can't wait to meet him.

Ward/Ockerman Baby Shower

There are two posts so keep reading!! So while we were up in Idaho this past week, my cousins,mom,sister,and aunt threw me a baby shower.  It was Saturday the 27th.  All of my dad's family and my mom's family live in Idaho so it was fun to get everyone together.  There was so much good food to eat and delicious desserts.  We played a couple of games.  One of the games we played was Baby Trivia with super hard questions, so it was funny to see.  I'm going to be a horrible mother because I only got 1 out of 10 correct, although they weren't really things you need to know so much as interesting facts.  Another game we played was my cousin shoved a whole bunch of baby socks into a jar, and everyone had to guess how many were in the jar.  Then we played the game where you have a whole bunch of items on a tray and someone walks around with the tray and you have to see how many items you remember.  And then we played a game where everyone had to rip off however many sheets of toilet paper they thought was the correct size around my stomache.  It was pretty funny to see how many people pulled off and how many it actually was.  So much fun Thank you so much for planning it, and for everyone that came!! I got a ton of GREAT gifts and now we feel so much more prepared for our little man to come join us. 

This is me 36 weeks.

The adorable Diaper cake my cousins made.

all the delicious food

and very tasty desserts

my cousins also made me this cute sign for baby's room

This was an amazing surprise that made me cry. My sister Kelsey that is on her mission doesn't come home for another 17 days and couldn't make it to the baby shower so she sent my mom a package with a this baby outfit and the sweetest card.  And of course my mom made me open it first.  What a great surprise. Wish she could have been there in person.

My mom croched*not sure how to spell it. These blankets/bibs/burp cloths, for us aren't they adorable.

The super cute baby book my Grandma gave us.

My awesome diaper bag

Everyone that came!! Thank you so much for everything, we really appreciate it!

Now it's time for little baby Cahoon to come join our family.

Thanksgiving-Idaho

We went to Idaho Falls for Thanksgiving this year, to spend it with my dad's family.  There was lots of good food and family to spend the holiday with. Here are a few pictures.

My cousin Lindsey invited my mom, sister, grandma and I over to her house to make a cute little Christmas decoration.  It was fun, I haven't made anything for a long time.  We made cute Christmas trees and they turned out super cute.

Wisdom Teeth

Oh boy does this bring back memories i am glad are over.. Yesterday tyler got his wisdom teeth out, yes just barely.  He didn't have them when he left on his mission and then yes of course they came in oh joy.  He has been saying that they have been hurting really bad since about last summer but we didn't have dental insurance to help cover the cost, so we weren't able to get them done.  So we had our dentist do them yesterday, oh what an amazing dentist he is.  They gave Tyler some pills he took before the surgery to help him sleep and then they gave him a gas mask.  He said he didn't remember a thing (which is great)!!  He doesn't remember anything from yesterday, they have him on some sweet pain killers along with steroid pills to help him not swell which I believe has actually helped quite immensely, so far so good not really any swelling.  And I am sorry to say we don't really have any funny stories of things that he did, I wish I did.  He did ask if he could keep his teeth which is disgusting but the doctor had to give them to him because he asked.  SO GROSS, he says he doesn't even remember asking to keep them.  Thank goodness for modern medicine!!

Cahoon Baby Shower

This past weekend Tyler's family threw a double baby shower for his cousin and I.  They are super sweet, there was lots of delicious food, and I got lots of great things.  Thank you so much Cahoon clan!!

Dilema

Alright so we kind of have a little Dilema... Tyler and I finally agreed on a name about 2 weeks ago and I found out that, that exact name is what a girl I work with is going to be naming her little boy.  What do I do?  I don't want her to think that we are stealing her name, but at the same time tyler and I had discussed the name about a week or so prior to when she told me that was the name she has always wanted for her little boy.  Tyler hasn't been this excited about a name since the last name he loved (we didn't agree on it).  What should I do?  Do we name him that certain name anyway or should we try to find another one?  Tyler seems to think that it is not a big deal since we are having the baby first, and our boys more than likely won't ever play but i dunno what to do ahhhh help me. 

Hooray for Countdowns

It is now november 8th and we are so ready for our little guy to come join our family!! Our nursery is complete aside from a few wall hangings.  We had our 33 wk ck up on friday and everything is great, he is still healthy and has a good strong heart beat.  We are still measuring to date, and if we haven't had him by December 29th we will be induced.  We have 47 days left until D-Day!! Hoping that it goes by fast with so much to do before his arrival. 

Not only is our 47 day count down for the baby but also for Christmas!  I can't wait for the Christmas season, I love the music, movies, snow (from inside the house), decorations and just the spirit that comes this time of year. 

Also on another note, my sister Kelsey has been on a mission in Oakland, CA for the last 18 months and is coming home December 15th, just in time for little man to join us as well!  What a great welcome home present.  She has 37 days left, and we are so excited to see her we can hardly stand it.  She has been such an outstanding missionary, but were ready for her to come home.  :D

And... it is a 38 day countdown till tylers' birthday!! December 16th

So I have been experiencing braxton hicks contractions...I'm sure i have been having them for a few weeks now, but just as of the last few days have actually been feeling them.  They are definitely there and sometimes they actually are quite painful... pregnancy is a weird thing, how does your body know to do all of these things that it's doing.  WEIRD but glad i am able to have children!!

Halloween

So this month Tyler and I went over to my sisters house to carve pumpkins, and our pumpkin turned out to be rotten it was so disgusting.. My sister the great sister she is still pulled out all the pumpkin guts so we could carve it, sadly we didn't get a picture. 

Me with my two little nephews in their Halloween outfits. 

The dessert that I took when we did our pumpkin carving. Not the cutest but fun!

My cute nephews in their Halloween costumes, they came trick or treating to our house friday night. Lincoln was a Hamburger and Emmett was a Hot Dog they were so cute!

Every year we get together for a Halloween dinner. 

The food was delicious!
