Well now we are officially down to going weekly to the doctor. I will be 36 weeks on Friday and we have just over 3 weeks left to go...thank goodness! Today's checkup went well. The heartbeat was good and I am still getting some fluid but blood pressure is good and I actually lost weight since last checkup so doc is still not concerned about the fluid and swelling. This last month I think is going to kill me. I am so uncomfortable..I never was this uncomfortable in the last couple months with Camden...but I guess that's why they say every pregnancy is different! Well that's about it for now! Hope everyone is having a good week!

We didn't do a whole lot this weekend and of course the weekend went by so fast! Brad had to work overnights the whole weekend so it was pretty much just Cam and I hanging out. We ran to Spencer yesterday to get some flowers to plant. Most years I buy alot of flowers and this year I decided I wasn't going too...I am sure I will be back to it next year!! I also have a couple bushes in my front yard that are not coming back for some reason this year so I need to find something to replace them.

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mother's!! I love being a mother and I have a pretty great son! We didn't do a whole lot today since Brad had to sleep most of the morning and then has to be back to work at 6 tonight. Brad and Camden made me a nice dinner and the rest of the afternoon we spent outside playing soccer, baseball, and just relaxing. As Camden was learning last week in school that it was going to be Mother's day this weekend he kept asking me why we don't call it parent's day? After I explained it that there is a mother's day and father's day he realized why we don't call it parents day. He is so funny! Hope everyone enjoyed their special day!:)

Preschool Concert

Introducing himself

"Why do I have to take my picture again, let's just go to the concert!"

Last night we had Camden's Spring concert. It's hard to believe he is done with his first year of Preschool next Wednesday! It was such a cute concert last night with all the songs they sang! He officially got his award that he passed 3 year old preschool so it's onto 4 year old preschool next fall:) He had a good year, learned alot, and I could see improvement throughout the year on certain skills.He loved bringing home his weekly papers to show me what he had learned or what they were studying about that week.I told him that preschool is over next week for the summer and he wasn't to happy about that! He loves to learn and I am sure this summer I will still see him at his desk at home writing his letters, numbers, or doing his homework as he calls it!

Clip of a song

This video is sideways for awhile, then I realized it and flipped my camera in the middle of it. I don't know how to rotate it the right way after I download them!HA! I just need to remember to tape the right way!

Busy Weekend

Here it is...I look crabby in this pic but I really wasn't....I think I wasn't so thrilled about taking a picture of myself! Just over 4 weeks left...I swear there is no more room for this baby to get bigger! Everybody keeps saying "You are going to have a big baby!" I want to say "Yeah ya think so, I already figured that out!"

The weekend of course went by so fast! Friday Brad and Camden headed back to Armstrong to Brad's parents for the night. He went back home because Saturday morning he had to go pick up my dad's new lab we found for him in Minnesota. It is a black lab and is almost 10 weeks old. I talked to dad and he said they haven't picked out a name yet but the pup is fitting in just fine around the farm! I guess Brett and the pup were laying in the grass napping yesterday afternoon! I decided I wasn't going to make the trip home this past weekend as I wanted to get some things done around the house and it was nice to have some time to myself. My friend Anne and I went out Friday night for awhile, which was long overdue!! Saturday I got up and went to Spencer and did some shopping. After shopping I came home and did some cleaning. Brad and Camden came home later that afternoon. We pretty much spent the rest of Saturday outside doing yard work because it was so nice out! Sunday we went to church and out for brunch with Anne, Mike, and their kids. After visiting for awhile we headed to Spencer to get a new dresser for the nursery and some fishing supplies. After we got home we went down to Paullina to Mill Creek to do some fishing. We had a couple bites but didn't catch anything. I don't think anybody was catching anything yesterday. After fishing and playing at the park we headed home to spend a little more time outside. It was such a nice weekend to spend time outside!

Sunday School

Last night was our last night of Wild Worship Wednesday Sunday school until next fall. We had a pizza and roller skating party for the kids. Camden had a blast!
Just starting to figure out how to do it on his own...My friend Anne's boy in the background, Craig. These skates were heavy and a little hard to figure out!

He was one of the last kids out there roller skating, but he did have to take a break every so often! Here he has the plastic kids skates on and it was alot easier for him.

About ready to fall, but caught himself. He had plenty of falls though!

Ashley and Tayla showing him how to skate when he first got his skates on! Such nice girls helping him!:)

34 week appointment

Today we had another checkup and everything went well! I have been having alot of pressure in my belly but doc said that it is normal around this part of the pregnancy.My legs and feet are swelling also but my blood pressure is still good and I didn't gain any weight since my last appointment so doc is not to worried about the swelling at this point! I swear everyday I wake up and I think my belly has gotten bigger. It's for sure going to be a big baby and we still have 5 more weeks to go! My belly feels like it is all baby! Gma Beadle told me last weekend that I am for sure growing a BIG baby! We go back again in 2 weeks and then we will start going weekly! YAY we are almost done!!

Rusty

My dad's chocolate lab Rusty has been missing for about 6 weeks now. I didn't realize this until we were at my dad's yesterday. I thought it was weird when we first pulled up to my dad's and Rusty is usually the first dog that meets us at our door! Dad said one day he just didn't come home and has been missing since:( Dad usually would let Shooter and Rusty off the chains during the day if he was at home otherwise if he was gone one had to be put on the chain. At night he had to have one on the chain also. This dog was a smart dog but didn't have any training at a younger age. My dad put many hours and alot of his time into training this dog. He loves his dogs and was always worried about getting them taken care of if he was gone! This dog has become a very smart and great hunting dog. Dad thinks someone shot him or took him. He also thinks that coyotes could of got him too. Rusty would go crazy at night when he would hear the coyotes so it is possible that he went after some and they attacked him. Who knows though! Dad said he has put many miles on looking for him and pretty much has given up. I guess you don't realize how close sometimes you get to a dog until they are gone:(
I came home and was telling Brad about what happened and our friend Matt I guess knows someone that has a purebred black lab that someone is trying to get rid of. This lab's parents are hunting dogs and we think it would be great for my dad to be able to train another lab because he is pretty good at it. I called dad last night and told him I got him another lab and he said he would let me know today if he wanted it! I really hope he says yes!!:)
