22 weeks down!!

Wow how the time is flying this pregnancy! Bean is starting to wiggle around a little more this week and I'm loving it. I can't wait for him to be bigger so I can poke at his little baby parts like I did Kaeden LOL Still debating on a name for him, although we're now focusing on same initials as Kaeden.. So we're looking for a K S O name for bean also. I'm liking Kyler Shea or Konner Shea... Now to convince daddy..... LOL I'm finally feeling some movement up above my belly button, although the majority is still WAY low in my stomach. It's nice to feel him up higher because it helps me to realize that I"m not just getting fat, there is a baby in there that's around 10inches or so long! LOL I still just feel Fat and blubbery all the time, not feeling very "pregnant" yet...

Had a great Mothers Day on Sunday. Steven, Kaeden and I went to breakfast Sun morning and then we went to his moms house Sunday afternoon. It was fun. Joel, Kari and the boys were there so Kaeden got to play with his cousins while we had a bbq. When we got home Steven went over to help Mike load stuff for the yard sale over to our garage. The rest of this week will be full of me and Lindsay trying to organize and get set up for the yard sale on Fri and Sat. I hope to make some big money! LOL

Spent a lot of time online yesterday researching motel prices for the last weekend in June. We're going to take Kaeden to the zoo and Pacific Science Center up in Tacoma and Seattle. Lindsay, Mike, Sydney and Taylor are going also. Not sure if they're going to want to do the things that we're doing, haven't talked to her about it yet. Will do that today and then I'm going to reserve our room today so I make sure and get the room i want and a POOL! Gotta have a pool so when we're done walking around staring at animals all day we can relax and lounge in the pool or hot tub ;) Plus Kaeden needs a pool just cause I want it for him so bad LOL Kaeden isn't spoiled because he asks for things, Kaeden is spoiled because I can't help but give him anything/everything that I think would be fun for him or that I knew as a kid I Wanted so very badly!! LOL Melissa might be meeting up with us at the zoo with the girls which would be totally awesome!! Kaeden would get to experience the zoo with his sisters which would be too cool! Hope it all works out that way!

Ok just had to do a quick update before the month passed as I know I"ll be pretty busy the rest of this week and weekend. Oh yes and I rescheduled my Dr appt from this Friday to next Friday at 9am so it doesn't mess with my yard sale LOL TTYL!!!!

Daddy's Turn!!

Yesterday went much better then I expected. I had 2 sicko kids but the day went pretty smoothly. Kaeden didn't throw up anymore nor did Sydney yesterday, although Kaeden ran a fever of 103 all day long and napped quite a lot. By last night his fever was at 100.2 and this morning he seems to have none at all. I didn't give him any motrin as I was hoping the fever would kill whatever's been bugging him the past week. Seems fine today!
Last night we were laying in bed and Bean was moving around a bit. Steven stuck his hand on my belly and got to feel his FIRST KICK WOOHOOO!!!!!!!! We were pretty excited about that :) I've been feeling him move around for a couple weeks but nothing like Kaeden was, although this week he seems to be moving a bit more and kicking at night before bedtime. After I drank a bunch of Kool-Aid yesterday he did a little dance for me too ;) It was pretty cute.
This morning I checked the mail and Kaeden had a care package from Grandma. He sure LOVED getting mail sent to him!!! He thought that was pretty cool. Those little big boy undies Grandma bought him are SO DANG CUTE! they look like mini steven undies! Now if only he'd learn to use them and not pee in them LOL He's excited to wear his new PJ's from Grandma also and I had to convince him to hold off until tonight to put them on. Thx Grandma for the care package ;) Made him feel pretty special. Taylor gets mail a lot from her Grandma so he kept telling me he had mail like Taylor!!!
Ok just a small update this time :) Had to brag on my lil man feeling better, him enjoying his mail and my littler man kicking his daddy last night ;)

Sickies GO AWAY!

I hate when my little guy gets sick! We went to my moms house this weekend to visit and had such a wonderful time! Drove down Fri evening and surprised her and Grandma Marcelle at their Scrapathon thing they were at. Kaeden sure loves visiting Gma! Sat morning we got up and drove to Walla Walla to visit Grandma Frieda since we were so close with nothing better to do. Jared and Tammy went up also so she got quite the houseful. Kaeden fell asleep about 20min before we got there so he was a tad on the grumpy side. Although he did run and give Gma Frieda a big hug :) She tried to lift him but she's so weak it was not happening! She's not doing very well so I am so glad that we took Kaeden to see her. She thinks he hung the moon! She also got the news that Jared and Tammy are expecting so she's got 2 more great grandbabies on the way. I hope that it gives her something to look forward to as I'd for her to be able to meet both of the new bundles. After visiting with her we all went shopping looking for maternity for me and some t-shirts for Kaeden as he's outgrown all his short sleeved shirts and they look like belly shirts on him LOL As usual I found nothing that fit me correctly :p But did get Kaeden some cute shirts for great prices! My mom also bought Bean a few outfits :) I love seeing those itty bitty baby outfits. It hasn't even hit me yet that in 4mo I'll have another baby! It's going so quickly!!!!!!! When we got back to mom and dad's house Sat night Grandma and Grandpa Goodwin came over as did Jared and Tammy and we all had pizza. After eating pizza Steven Kaeden and I went over to visit MIcheal and Dana Hampton and meet their new little girl Riley Marie. She was born March 22nd and weighed 8lb12oz. She's so big for a newborn!!! Looks just like her Grandpa Gene if you ask me!!!

Saturday night we stayed with jared and Tammy and then Sunday we all had a lazy day as Kaeden woke up at 7am throwing up! Poor little guy threw up off and on all day Sunday until he fell asleep for his nap around 1ish. We all napped a bit and then I started packing things up while Kaeden and Steven slept. We left Hermiston at 4 to head to Tri Cities to see BLUE'S CLUES LIVE!!!!! Too bad Kaeden was sick. He really enjoyed the show although he sat through the first half in total AWE at what he was seeing LOL After the intermission he did clap and join in a bit more and seemed to have some fun! It's all he's talked about now since Sunday LOL So I know he enjoyed himself. We got home around 9-10ish Sun night.

Monday Kaeden seemed fine most the day although he did throw up once, then Mon night he woke up at 3am throwing up every 5min. Poor lil trooper. He refused to throw up in a bowl and INSISTED that he throw up in the toilet! I think he's seen mommy have morning sickness a few too many times as he was a pro at puking! How sad is that? he went straight to the toilet everytime he had to "spit" as we call it around here and did his thing in there. It made me wanna cry to see him feeling so yucky but he handled it like quite the little man. Never got upset about it, just matter of factly told us "I need to spit" and then we'd put him on the floor out of bed and he'd run to the bathroom.

Yesterday he seemed fine so I figured he was all better and was in a great mood all day long... Then last night right before bed he felt really warm and was acting a little lethargic/delirious so I took his temp and it was almost 104.... *sigh* we got some Little Tummy's medicine in him and some Ibuprofin and he slept great all night long. Unfortunately this morning he's still got 103 fever. I hate to take him to the Dr when I know there is nothing they can do for him. Sydney also woke up last night and had thrown up everywhere so it's obviously a bug of some type. I'm just hoping I don't catch it. Not looking forward to the day full of sickie kiddos today....

Last night I got to hold the neighbors new baby :) She just turned 2mo old and is so sweet. She was actually really grumpy and crying and Jay the daddy passed her off to me LOL Of course I didn't want to turn down the opportunity to hold a baby, but on the other hand I hate having baby crying their little heads off when I'm holding it and mommy and daddy are right there LOL Although took me about 5min and I had her asleep ;) Good practice for me in case Bean is anything like Kaeden was!

I'm having a VERy difficult time with my weight right now. I'm feeling like such a cow. I want to diet so badly and I know that I can't. I could eat healthier, but it's gonna take some serious dedication to lose this weight and I can't do it while I'm pregnant. I haven't even gained that much weight, I just started out so much heavier this time around then I did with my pregnancy with Kaeden that I look fatter now then I did at 9+mo with Kaeden..... Oh well, enough whining for now.. guess Bean, kaeden and I will have to go on lots of walks while the weather permits it after He's born! ;) Ok clingy Kaeden is making it difficult to type so enough rambling for now...
