Pumpkin Patch 2009

Here are some pictures from this afternoon's visit to the pumpkin patch.

Mark your calendars

Scheduled induction date of Nov. 18th and I am 1 cm. dialated. Something that never happened with Jack! 5 more weeks!

Someone is going to buy a can of Febreeze at the St. Charles Target only to discover it's almost empy!

So this morning Jack and I went to Target and we were walking down the isle with all of the air fresheners and Jack was a couple steps behind me and he stopped and picked up a thing of Febreeze arisol airfreshener and right as I was telling him to put it back he starts spraying it. I try to sternly, without yellling, tell him no and to stop etc. but it doesn't work and he just thinks it's hilarious because I can't take it from him without getting sprayed so I am kinda standing back. He would spray it and laugh, then stop and I would go and try and grab it then he would start spraying it again. This seriously went on for a couple of minutes. I didn't know what to do because I was trying so hard to not laugh but I didn't want to get sprayed. I am sure people walked by and was like "gosh that mother is just letting her kid spray that stuff". He finally stopped long enough for me to grab it and it only occured to me after I got home that maybe I should have bought it because I am sure it really didn't have much left in it.
Then when we got out to the car I opened the trunk and Jack climbed from inside the cart into the trunk. I knew he had done this and I was fine with it so I said "OK Jack stay there" and ran across the street to put the cart up and as I did this these 2 women walked by and stared at Jack just sitting in the trunk playing with my snow scraper. I felt like saying "I really don't drive around with him like that". I probably just looked like the worst parent today?!

Random Post, Update

-Only 7 more weeks! If I could have this baby tomorrow I would!
-When Jack wants me or Mike to play trains with him he says "mama/dada choo choo me". It cracks us up every time.
-He has started to touch my stomach and tell random people that I am having a baby.
-He can't say Hudson but if you ask him if the baby's name is Tom or Dave or any other random names he says no, then if you say Hudson he says yes.
-He still talks about wanting to take a bath or sleep with Hudson. I think it's cute but I hope he is not super in the baby's face and stuff like that.
-Jack likes these frozen bluberry's I bought at Costco in his cereal so every morning he asks for "baby blue balls".

8 more weeks

I "technically" have 9 more weeks but at my last dr. appointment on friday my dr. still wants me to have the baby at 39 weeks and not 40 and was like "oh you will be home by Thanksgiving" which sounds good to me! I have been telling Mike for the past couple of weeks that if I could have this baby tomorrow I would! It's just so much harder with Jack wanting to sit on my lap, wanting to jump on me etc. My back and hips just kill!! This morning we went to Costco and as I was putting Jack into his car seat I just put him down and let him climb in. While at Costco I bought some diapers for Hudson. (I had a coupon) so I was like might as well buy them now? I never bought diapers in advance with Jack and had to make an emergency diaper run so hopefully I won't have to do that. It's nice the second time around because I have a better feeling for what I will need and what can wait. We have been looking at double strollers lately but I think we may hold off for a little bit and see exactly what our needs are. I don't want to make a big purchase like that and get the wrong thing.
A family in our ward gave us a baby swing that they no longer use so that was nice because that was one of the things I really wanted to get and can now cross of my list and saved us like $50. I never had a swing or anything like that with Jack because we just didnt have the room for it and if I need to put Jack down I just laid him on the floor or couch but I know I can't do that this time around because I will have jack running around and I would rather him not step on the baby!

Heads Up

So this afternoon I made an unscheduled visit to my OB. Yesterday I noticed that Hudson hadn't really been moving as much and as strong as he normally does. So after lunch I was sitting with Jack trying to get him to take a nap while poking my stomach trying to get Hudson to kick back. It wasn't working and it was starting to freak me out! I normally am not the type of person to call the Dr. with silly little questions but I knew it was Friday and they are closed for the weekend. So I called and the nurse was like wait a couple more hours and if he still isn't moving alot then go into labor and delivery. I was just like can't I come down to the office then I remembered it was Friday and they close at noon on Fridays. Then after talking some more she was like well can you be here soon and I was like yeah I live down the street so they hooked me up and did a non stress test which measures all of the baby's movements and heart rate and everything was fine. My Dr. then did an ultrasound to check all of the fluids and everything looks good! I had her double check that it is a boy and she said yes it's a boy and he is still breech. He was breech at 20 weeks. So the plan is they will do another ultrasound at like 35 weeks to see if he flips and if he hasn't they will go ahead and schedule a c section just to get me in the hospitals schedule but do another ultrasound before going ahead with the c section. She said because I have had a c section it's too dangerous to try and have her turn him. So right now he is head up and it's funny because I can actually feel his head. I never knew if it was a head or a bum.

Scaredy Cat

A couple of weeks ago Mike introduced Jack to Scooby Doo. Jack loved it and would watch episodes here and there. They were more recently made. Almost all of them would include some sort of "bad guy". Pirates, surfing zombies etc. Well around that same time Jack started waking up in the middle of the night screaming for Mike and just kinda freaking out. A couple of times Mike tried to get him to go back to sleep but I guess he would just cling onto Mike and he was just trembling Mike said. This was very unusual because Jack has always been a great sleeper and started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks! Well we kinda put 2 and 2 together and have come to the conclusion that maybe Jack should not be watching scary stuff any more. So far it has seemed to make a difference! Hopefully he will get back to sleeping better. I really don't want to have to deal with getting up with a newborn and Jack! Although really Mike has been dealing with Jack and sleeping on Jack's floor. I am sure that if I wasn't 6 months pregnant Mike would make me take a turn of sleeping on the floor lol
