Update on baby #4

I often don't remember I am pregnant (meaning I don't feel it, not that I do harmful things to my baby) until I get up to walk! I am 23 weeks pregnant and this baby feels like it weighs 12 pounds! We went in Friday to have an ultrasound, we wanted to see if we could figure out the sex but it also needed checked out with my history of toxemia and gestational diabetes. Baby was being stubborn and didn't want to show us it's goods, it did get measured and somethings were measuring a week bigger than I am. The ultrasound lady went back to check if we could see between the legs and she often shook my tummy and kept calling baby a "Stinker!" Then she appoligized for calling it names but since we wanted to know the sex so did she! Finally we saw it..."the turtle head" yes that is what she called it, we are having another boy! I cried...I am happy that baby is healthy and doing good (him and to me) but as you all know I really wanted a girl. I feel everyone deserves a chance with both but hey sometimes you win sometimes you lose. I cried hard for awhile and when we got to the truck I looked at Josh and said, "I blame you!" lol He knows I was kidding...well kind of!

A few days later I came to realize I like sport events not dance recitals! Someone was looking out for me. Plus not sure I was ready for all that girl drama! My sister, Niki, also told me all I have to worry about is 4 penis' not all of Ellsworth Community College (since I like to say that is where Taye came from!)

Happy 5th Anniversary Joshua!

Happy 5th Birthday Cooper Addison!

Today Cooper turns 5! I didn't think it bugged me that much til I woke up and took my blood sugar and it was over 100, it is supposed to be under 95. I then ate what I usually eat in the morning and it was 130, supposed to be under 120! So I am thinking it bothered me a little more than I thought....Anyway..

He asked me to make M&M cookies for his birthday treat at school, so being certified in food service and teach a nutrition class at daycare, I sent carrots too! When he got home from school Josh made him a cake with sprinkles, as requested. Then Grandma called and brought over his present, a couple of Power Rangers, all he wants now! New..old he doesn't care as long as they are Power Rangers.

We are holding off on a party for him since he is still to young for a "friends" party, they get that after they have been in school, and his cousins are in sports along with Taye. So October we will have a birthday party for Cooper and Dekon at Smith's pumpkin patch, hayride and con mase included! But we are taking him to Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday and we told him he could pick 1 school friend. He picked a girl! I said are you sure and he said yes..I want Taryn! We got a phone call tonight and she gets to go!! He is super excited, Zoe also gets to go along!

He got 2 phone calls tonight too! Merak and Madden called to sing "Happy Birthday" his face just lite up when they did that! And then Nini called and her and Zoe talked to him. I think that boy talked more on the phone to people than I do on my birthday!

So excited!!

I get on to check on others blogs and what do I see? I HAVE 3 FOLLOWERS!!! I am totally excited!

What's new?

Not alot going on since my last post. We signed Taye up for football again this year, he did REALLY well last year (biological father was supposedly the fastest kid in St. Louis) and well Taye's pretty fast! Cooper pulled a ticket in school, BIG SURPRISE, ok maybe not, my kids are pretty wild, surprised it didn't happen sooner! :) Dekon is getting closer to turning 2 but 18 months pants still fall off his butt! We are still slowly working on potty training. Gotta get him out of diapers before baby #4 comes along!!
I met with a dietary nurse to refresh me on what I can and can't eat. No test has shown that I have gestational diabetes but since I had it with Dek there is a good possibility I get it again. :( I like carbs!! I am poking myself when I wake and after every meal, my poor hands! But as long as the rest of the pregnancy goes well I'll be good! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a girl! My last kid I deserve one right?!?

First day of school 2010

Cooper Addison Tayeshun Kendall

Waiting for the bus

Ausust 23 was the first day of Kindergarten for Cooper and 2nd grade for Tayeshun! Dekon doesn't know what to do in the mornings without his brothers here. He runs out of his room saying Taye...Coopy! I look at him and say their at school. So today he sat down at a bowl of dry cereal they lets out and ate it! I can't wait for them to actually have a full day of school though. The first three days they get out 90 minutes early! Since I work for the school I got to pop in at lunch time and see them both. Cooper was so excited to sit at the BIG lunch table and Taye had his first year of having salad bar! (He claims he took a salad) They got home from school talking about their day, but that was short lived before they started arguing over something. Boys will be boys I guess!

Middle of July already???

Not alot has happened this month so far. A whole 4 of us from work were in the Hardin County Fair parade for the daycare and as many know we got SOAKED! I ruined my phone but had a good time, it's been awhile since I played in the rain. Makes me think I need to do that with the boys when it rains some night. What's the harm?





My Sister had her baby last month and she is a little thing! I haven't been over there lately, I am trying to give them some family time before Eric leaves next month. Their whole family is there right now. Marrisa came after Eric got home from Minnesota for training.





Joshua works 12 hour shifts at Berry Plastics. He has for awhile. He seems to like, so do I, he gets everyother weekend off and 2 days off during the week.





Tayeshun and Cooper are going to Vacation Bible School this week. They both seem to enjoy it! Dekon is 20 months old already!





I have a new boss..she seems nice but haven't really gotten to know to her yet. She takes over in August. The new boss and old will be gone the last week of July which puts me in charge!


My 10 year class reunion is at the end of July, it will be nice to see everyone again! Well almost..I know some people can't make it which is ashame but I understand we are getting older and get busy!





That is about all I can think of for right now.
