Guess when!

I have been thinking about putting a game together for family and friends to be more involved in baby #4 birth. Especially since he is supposedly(per Jeremy) the last one!!
So lets play a guessing game!

Questions:
1. When will baby be born(Date/Time)?
2. How much will he weigh?
3. How long will he be?
4.What is my favorite thing about pregnancy?

Either email me or leave your guesses in the comments. The winner(s) will be openly congratulated on this blog and may receive a treat/prize in the mail if I get around to it after the baby is born.

Hint for guessing: I am scheduled to have my water broken around 7am this Friday morning if baby has not come by then.
GOOD LUCK!!

Pregnancy Fun

This pregnancy has been so much fun! I love feeling the baby move inside of me, and I have been pretty lucky with having only a little nausea and heart burn. I have been way tired though and that leads to being thankful that I still have two good nappers in the house!!

We have been sick though, add on my trying to get things ready for our little man, that leads to Braxton Hicks(which I have never had!!). We had a false alarm last night. Jeremy saw me resting and asked me about my contractions. I told him they were coming regularly but not very strong. He immediately worried so we called the Doctor and the Nelsons(they are our go to for the kids), woke the kids up and headed to the Hospital. I have never felt contractions before that did not mean the baby was about to pop out; so I assumed even though it was over two weeks early we would have a baby after leaving. Well, I was dilated to a 4, which has progressed from the 3 I had on Monday at my appointment. But not much in the way of strong contractions, just little ones that seem to be getting my body ready rather than being in actual labor. We were sent home around 2:30am because the Hospital was so busy and I was too early for them to help me along. So much for a dry run to the Hospital!!

At least we are now preregistered and our bags are packed. Now if I could just get myself into the sewing room to finish mine and Faiths car seat covers....

Here are some cute picks of Faith and I with our prego bellies. We are both having boys and we were only a month apart. But due to her trying to have a v-back and me usually going early they could be a lot closer in age.

4 of us prego ladies also went out to dinner to celebrate our upcoming babies. We ended up going to Deweys. It was yummy salad as usual, but randomly my part of the pizza was burnt, so they said they would make a replacement, but that ended up being burnt too. So the manager explained that the oven needed to be recalibrated said a third pizza was being made and would be ready in 5 minutes plus he comped the pizza. So our total bill was only for the salad we shared!! So we had leftovers and money to spend, so after we went over to Coldstone to indulge our sweet tooth. Yum!!

It is sad thinking this could be my last pregnancy!! But at least I have really enjoyed it!!

Our Christmas in Califronia

We were able to spend a fun holiday vacation in California. We were there for 18 solid days(plus 2 for travelling). The kids loved seeing there grandparents, cousins, and aunts & uncles. In that order. ;p

On the airplane to California. The trip was made longer with a delay in LA.

Here are a few pictures taken at that time. Keep in mind I borrowed my mother in laws camera a lot because mine was dead or dying, and I do not have those loaded on the computer at this time! So we will make do with what I have.

Jenalee at the Zoo

We celebrated Jenalee's 2nd Birthday, Natalie lost her second tooth, we went to the San Diego Zoo, Mormon Battalion, and Lego land. Of Course we shopped, hung out with family, and went to the Natural History Museum at Balboa Park too.

Jenalee turned 2 on December 22nd and we had a family get together that night. Aunt Melony made her a beautiful princess castle cake. Yum!! Thanks, Melony!

She also enjoyed opening up presents. She loved the dolls she got from the Grandparents and Aunt Genel! She is way into babies. Which could be good or bad for me...depending on how much she wants to help when Tanner is born.

Natalie showing her second lost tooth. Both from the bottom row. The Tooth Fairy has been very good to her giving her a Dollar and a candy per lost tooth so far.

Family picture at Legoland. Tons of fun! Especially since the whole McRoberts family got in for Free. Thanks for getting in line for those radio deals!!

I finally finished the Christ Nativities for our Moms. I loved how they turned out. I hope our Moms did too!

Mormon Battalion Picture. The kids loved this place. They got to pan for gold, play on wagons, and see a fun video presentation. Plus it is next to the San Diego Mission so we went to the old town set up they had there too.

Here are the kids New Years Eve with some of their cousins. The girls loved that they had matching jammies. Thanks mom for mailing those to us!

Last but not least is Uncle Ryan. The kids loved seeing him, and his new fiance(though she was girlfriend at the time) Barbie. Thanks for being so good to us Ryan with all the movies, gifts, and time spent with us! We also loved meeting Barbie and can't wait to see you guys again in August at your wedding! Congratulations!!

Updates

Giving the blog the Spring look early to warm us up from the cold winter weather. Enjoy the title picture we took last May in the Great Smoky Mountains!

Hopefully I will upload more current information by tomorrow!!

Winter is here!!! (Plus Diaper Savings)

On December 1st we had our first snow flurry that stuck. We have had such weird weather lately that it has surprised me just how fast it can get really cold!!

Also, since Jenalee has showed tons of interest over the past few months in potty training(mainly pooping on the potty) I decided that we are officially potty training starting today. She did really well getting her poop in the potty...now if I could just get her to care about peeing in it!!

FYI to anyone interested. If you join Amazon mom and do the subscribe and save you get 30% off diapers and wipes. Also, in most baby magazines their is a 20% off amazon diapers coupon, and this works for training pants too!! The two deals stack!!

This has been a real inexpensive way for me to stock up on diapers at around 8.5 cents a diaper(pampers, huggies size 1/2), and I just got Leah some easy ups for around 14 cents a piece(make sure to use pampers coupon given on the page when ordering for another $1 off). Plus free amazon prime for 3 months(not that I use it, but maybe it will be great for you).

Also, I just got Huggies wipes for around 1.7 cents a wipe(3 refill packs of 216 count each in one pack for $10.15 ). I bought 3 so I would get another month of amazon prime free. Apparantly I should have told Jeremy about it sooner. ;p

I love this, just make sure to cancel your subscription after you receive the item. I put in 2 months frequency to give me ample time to cancel. Hope this helps someone out!!

Primary Program and Thanksgiving

November 14th was our Primary Program. Natalie had a speaking part, and participated in a group song. Brayden and Jenalee went up to sing one song( I love when they have nursery participate). Since it was so close to Thanksgivign we broke out their Holiday dresses and did their hair up in curlers.
Jenalee didn't have one curler in her hair in the morning! But Natalies stayed in and I think worked out great.

She looks so cute!!

This is actually Jenalee on Thanksgiving weekend, I changed their hair pieces from maroon to black. She is too cute too!!

My handsome man is dressed to match and decided this was the pose to strike.

We did Thanksgiving with the Parkinsons. We split up the dishes and planned to eat at 2pm.
Unfortunately there was a power outage in their neighborhood. So we had a fun time trying to cook/fit everything into my stove. It took us a little longer to get done but we at around 4pm and the food was delicious! Especially desert!

Sad we only have a few pictures. Here is Faith and I waiting to eat. We're pregnant...give us a break!!

Here are the kids. Natalie and Alice had matching clothes on. They had so much fun fooling the parents with who was who.

This week Jermy has been away to Florida. He left on Monday. While he was packing Jenalee was following him around, especially lingering in the bathroom.

Jenalee is by far the biggest mess maker I have had. It doesn't matter how many times you tell her no or move her...she will still get into whatever has caught her interest if you give her any privacy. Jeremy literally was away from the bathroom less than a minute and this is what he found.

Vaseline was all over her face and hair. We had to get jeremy to the airport, so I did a quick clean up of her to take him. It took shampooing twice and then combing in dish soap and rinsing to get it out of her hair. What a mess!!

Last bit of costume fun

I went shopping after Halloween and found a few costumes worth buying. So the kiddos had a fun night playing in some of them.


We have already seen brayden as a knight, but I didn't buy him a new costume so he put this on.

Jenalee is actually wearing a dragon costume I got for our new baby boy to be next year. The kids are attacking her!

Natalie is wearing her new pirate outfit and holding her sword. Just guess the total cost...would you believe 85 cents!! Best deal ever.

This was just a cute picture of Jenalee I decided to post.
