He's here!

Our computer is struggling so I can't get our pictures up, but Tommy is here! He was born on
9-9-09 and yes we were induced...it went really well from start to finish it took 3 hours so it was pretty smooth. We've been home now for almost 3 weeks and it's been a whirlwind but I think we are finally leveling out, and I think maybe we will survive :) He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long, and he has a ton of dark hair. I'll put pictures up when we get this computer functioning.

Oh I got a new calling yesterday, activities co-chair in our ward. So I guess I'm off and running giddyup.

update

Well we've decided to induce on the 9th, but my dr. doesn't think we'll make it till then so I'll keep you updated at some point...As of the 3rd, I'm at a 3 and 90% effaced...so you would think anytime now but who know's how the body works. I'm feeling anxious though and so is Ryan.

3 or 4 weeks???

I am back and forth trying to decide if we should induce a week early which would be 3 weeks away or wait and see what happens naturally...ahhh decisions decisions. But I have to say that I'm excited to meet little Tommy and also very excited to not be prego anymore.

Well some other new news is that I am moving salons again... De Leon is closing their doors and come Sept. 1 I have to find a new place to work. I have a couple of options but haven't decided yet where exactly I want to be. so there again, decisions decisions. So I'm going to take september off and start work again at the beginning of October.

Kate is doing awesome on the potty, I'm so proud of her. She even told her nursery leader on Sunday that she needed to go and didn't wait for us to come and take her... hooray.

Ryan and i are teaching the marriage and family relations class still, and it's been fun to be able to prepare specific lessons once a week together, I've learned some new insights from him and we've been able to kind of learn and grow together.

The other day, I asked Kate if that night she was going to take her Jammies off after I close the door to leave and she said "yes" and I asked her why she does that, and she said while rubbing her arms and tummy "it's soooooo comfy" so we just sneak in after she's asleep and re-dress her so she's not cold in the night.

Ryan starts school tomorrow :( It's been a fun summer together going to the gym and 7-peaks. Oh and he won the weight bet that he had with his brother Jay I'm so proud of him, he lost 17 pounds this summer and he definitely deserves the recognition cuz he worked hard... and I must say that he is looking good!

Belle...the Beast

We got a few tickets to the scera shell this year, one of them being the Beauty and the Beast play, we thought we would try taking Kate and see how she'd do. Well the day came and we went, and she sat on one of our laps the whole entire 2 1/2 hours mesmerized. She got all into it asking "where's Gaston?" "what's the matter with Belle, why is she sad?" she loved it... we can't call it beauty and the beast though cuz she gets confused cuz beauty is sleeping beauty so it's called Belle... the beast.

Good morning Kate

This morning Kate came into our bedroom after the second night of staying "dry" (we may even be potty trained for the night soon, who knows?) and the first thing she said was "Mom I want to smell your hair" so I let her and asked "what does it smell like?" she said "m&m's" then she wanted me to smell hers and I told her it smelled like flowers.

Then she wanted me to smell her fingernails and I told her they smelled like chocolate candy then she smelled mine and said they smelled like angels.
