Well it hasn't been that exciting of a week. I have made the transition to "the other end" of the week at work. I will have my weekends back again! Well until the next transition at least. But I think that wont happen for me until after the baby is born. I am also starting on day shift this week. Waking up at 4am is not my favorite, but getting home by 5pm and having my evenings with my family is looking pretty good. It will be nice to be able to put our baby boy to bed at night to, oh and snuggle up with my wonderful hubby. What is also nice is I can start attending church again! I go to this wonderful small church out it Roswell ID. We have a great church family. There is just this nice warmth that comes over you when you step inside. It's a great way to start/end the week.
On other news, our oven broke! Well not the entire oven, just the bottom element of the oven. And wouldn't ya know you can't just go into a store and buy one of those things! Oh no you gotta go online and do it. Trust me I went all over one day trying to find one. Well needless to say I haven't gotten on line yet to order one. So we have been with out an oven for a while. And since then I have had the erg to bake! So on one of my days off I loaded up Toad (aka K.C.) and I went over to my Mom's house to bake some cookies and banana bread. I was nice and left some for my Dad. On my way back home I noticed my neighbor sitting outside, I heard he was having some medical issues so I decided to share some cookies with him to. We had a nice talk and I learned he is recovering from a surgery to remove cancer, so if we could keep him in our prayers that would be great. I hope they got all the cancer out. He seemed to be doing pretty good, I am sure the cookies helped :) So along the lines of our oven not working.... I got the bright idea to make a pot roast in the crock pot. Well that didn't work out how I planned. I dropped the frozen roast when I was unwrapping it and I broke my crock pot! So not only do we not have an oven we now have no crock pot!! Luckily I borrowed my Mom's so we have had a few meals in it. Other then that it is either BBQ or whatever we can cook on the stove top. You just don't realize how much you count on certain appliances until you don't have access to them!
On baby news, I had another check up on 10/04. Everything is looking good. The baby is really active. I have felt some movements but still no strong ones that other people can feel. I can't wait until I can have K.C. feel my belly for a kick. He is pretty cute already with this pregnancy. He got to sit up by my head during one of my last appointments and since then he has to lift up my shirt so that he can push on my belly like the midwife did. I have also got him to start giving his baby brother "loves". He will give my belly a hug and rest his head on it, it's so cute. Another cute thing he has done is he has watched me put my coco butter lotion on my belly, I have never really put lotion on K.C. so now after watching me do that he wants to put lotion on to. So I put a little bit on his hand and he will lift up his shirt and rub the lotion on his belly. It is the cutest thing ever, I guess he thinks that's where lotion is supposed to go. I tried to get him to just rub his hands together, but guess he knows better :) Well I have gained some weight this this month :( I know that is what is supposed to happen, I am still not up to my pre prego weight though. Honestly that is just fine with me cause that was a high number for me anyway. My midwife went ahead and measured me and I was at a 25! I am at 21 weeks this week so maybe I will get lucky and have this lil guy early! But my luck he will come right on his due date just like K.C. did. And come to find out there is a chance he can be born on one of my Grandma's birthdays! My Grandma Oostra is Feb 9 and my Grandma Vogel is Fem 12. I think that would be kinda cool.
So since school has started we haven't been able to have the older Cook boys over much. They are pretty busy with boy scouts and band, oh then there is that Idaho hunting thing that they are involved in... James did get to take K.C. to one of Keegan's band competitions on Saturday. He was so happy to see his older brothers. I told James to take the camera.... but he didn't. Keegan has another competition at Valley View on this Saturday we hope to go see. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. Keegan is in 10th grade this year and Cameron is in 7th. Man does time fly!!
My baby is also not much of a baby anymore, I sadly switched out all the "month" size clothes and he is now in a size 2t. He's getting so big! And his personality is getting just as big!! I love it when he sits there and just jabbers, he is so close to talking. He says a few words but not enough to really communicate yet. He is starting to be a big helper to, he sure knows the phrase "put it back" and is helping pick up his toys. He is also fearless!! With no help from his mother... lol I have been teaching him how to jump off his dresser onto his mattress on the floor :) He has to hold my hand still but I am sure it wont be long before he doesn't!! The cool thing about this kid is that if he gets hurt he gets right back up and tries it again, he is tough and determined!
