Updates

Update #1

Chad and I are going to be an uncle and aunt very soon. Chad’s little sister Linsey is getting ready to have her little boy, Kale Everett. She is due on March 14th; which means any day now. I can’t believe how drastically different the family will be in just a few months…two new little boys. Chad’s mom, grandma, cousin and cousin’s son are all driving down from Clovis on March 7th. They are staying for a week and leaving on the 14th. If Linsey hasn’t had the baby by then Chad’s mom will stay until she does and help out for a few days. Then everyone will be back sometime in June for the arrival of Cayden James.

Update #2

Chad is making great progress on the nursery. He is almost done re-dry walling all the walls. Once that is complete he will texture the walls and we will add crown molding and paint. The room is rectangle shaped. We are going to paint the two short walls a nice denim blue color and paint the two long walls a nice cream color. It’s going to look gorgeous. Once the walls are completed and painted we are going to install the hardwood floors. Then it is time to set up the crib and decorate. I am hoping that the room is complete (except for the decorating) by the time I have my baby shower (March 21st in Los Lunas, New Mexico). However, it might not happen because as I mentioned earlier Chad’s family will be in town for two weeks and he wants to spend as much time with them as possible. However, we have to remind ourselves that the baby will be here in about 15 weeks or as early as 11. So we really need get a move on!

Update #3

We had an ultrasound yesterday and Cayden is looking gorgeous and getting bigger and stronger every day. He now weighs 1 pound 5 ounces. The doctor said that he is progressing very normal; which means she expects him to weight 7 and a half pounds at birth. Chad is convinced that I am going to need a c-section. This is probably true. However, I’m not going to let the doctor schedule one. I am going to let labor start and *attempt* to push him out. And if I can’t; I can’t. But I don’t want them to go in and get him *before* he’s ready to come out. I think Cayden is going to grow up and be big and tall. His feet are already two inches! He’s outgrowing the booties my parents bought him and he’s still in the womb!
