No "Turkey" Baby

I am sad to say we did not have a baby this weekend as I had hoped. It seems that Kaden has a mind of her own and is not ready to come out. Maybe she is waiting for her Grandma to get here on December 7th. That sounds so far away since I am ready to have this baby.

We did enjoy a relaxing Thanksgiving and ate turkey. I'm still trying to get the house together and now I am trying to decorate for Christmas. Man it feels like we will never be finished. I will post before and after pictures once everything is finished.

This is my last week of classes and I have several projects to complete so I will be busy this week with that. Maybe this will help me take my mind off of the guessing of when Kaden will come.

Below are two pictures of Maddie that I couldn't help but post. She is getting so big on us. It is hard to believe we have had her for a year in December.

Maddie loves to sit on the stairs and look at what everyone is doing downstairs.


Maddie likes to look at her reflection in the window and usually barks at herself. This dog is crazy!

Baby Update

Well I am very ready for Kaden to come into this world! I have been working from home for the past month because I was put on moderated bed rest. However, this has not helped me slow down. I still find myself super busy. The maternity center keeps telling me I am doing to much and need to slow down.

Kaden is healthy and I am doing okay other than major swelling in my feet and ankles and now I have carpel tunel syndrome. They say it should go away after I have the baby. Let's hope so because now as I am typing my hands are numb and when I wake up in the morning they ache.

My last appointment was Tuesday of this week. They told me that my cervix was continuning to thin and it was stretchy which apparently is a good thing. They were able to feel Kaden's head which she did not like to much because she began to kick me in protest.

Gilbert and I had orginally thought that we might have a "turkey" baby so at my appointment I asked "so no baby this weekend, hugh?" However, they told me that it is possible for the baby to come but I have a feeling she is in no hurry. For me I can't wait because I am so uncomfortable now a days. I will keep everyone posted though.

Miami Baby Shower

On October 20th we had a wonderful baby shower here in Miami. The shower was a couples shower and we had a great time. This is the first couples baby shower I have been too and it was a blast. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and we received a lot of nice things. Below are some pictures from this event.


Some of our friends.

"The guys" They have not all been together in a long time and they really enjoyed themselves.

Some more of our friends. We did not do a good job getting a group shot of everyone.

This is one of our neighbors son. He played the game where they were blindfolded and were feed baby food. The goal was to eat all of the food first. You can see how messy it was.

The only thing negative about the shower was it was really humid that day.

Gilbert's disappointed face because he lost this game.

This game the was were a baby bottle was being feed to the partner. To win you had to drink all of the bottle and burp first. The only girl playing beat the guys! It was funny.

This cake was made by my neighbor. It was beautiful and tasted good too!

The Nursery is done!

We are alive! We have had a crazy month and I will make a long post to catch up later today hopefully. In the mean time we have moved and are trying to settle in. We have finished the nursery! Below are some pictures of Kaden Maryse's room.
