Halloween

Today we started getting ready for Halloween at 2:00. We first headed over to Grandma Mellor's where we discovered the Taylor's Halloween costume maybe a little to small and the weather wouldn't allow for that today, it was cold. So we headed to Wal-Mart and bought a bigger costume. The ones in the picture is the one that is to small, although we bought her the same one just in a different color. Hopefully someone will send us a picture of the other one.
Then we started the trick or treating. We went to Auntie Heather's and had a nice little visit there. Then we headed to Great Grandma Chisholm's and we missed her she wasn't home but that didn't stop us from getting candy. Then headed over to Uncle Kirby's another miss we actually passed Auntie Cindy on the road, we did miss the candy ther unfortunately. Next we headed over to Auntie Velvet's finally someone was home, we had a short little visit before we headed off to Jeremy's and Steph's place and again no one was home. So next we head of to Shane and Pam's they were not home but Maddy was there to give us some candy. To finish off the trick or treating with the family we stopped at Colin and Chris' and got a hand full of candy from them. It was quite a full day of visiting family in and out of the van all day. We didn't have a chance to make it to Uncle Daniel's before Taylor got grouchy. After all that we went to Scotty and Tracey's and they were not home but that's ok cause Taylor fell asleep before we got there. So she had a nap and then we went trick or treating to 2 of our neighbor's houses the Rhodas' and the Campbells. And that was Taylor's fun filled day and she got quite the little haul for a 2 year old.

Eastynn's Halloween Doctors Appointment

We had a doctors appointment today. After this one they are now every week which means its not to long till she comes now. 35 days till my due date to be exact.
And although the health link nurse thought she would be born within a week Dr. Prince seems to think differently. He didn't seem to think she'd be early. Oh well it sucks but I think I can manage another 35 days. I guess it could potentially be 45 days. I have also been having some dizzy spells something I experienced with taylor but they are very scary as well. The doctor didn't seem to concerened about that either because my blood pressure was good. Eastynn's heart beat was strong. So everything seems to be in check. So till next week or till something exciting happens with Eastynn thats all for her now. Will post again tonight or tomorrow about Taylor's Halloween going to be an exciting one.

May not be long now

I think Eastynn will be arriving sooner than anticpated. I had some changes today and phoned health link. And they figure she should be here within a week. She would be considered premature but as long as she's healthy I don't care when she comes. If nothing happens before tuesday I'll definately let you all know what the doctor has to say then.

Poor Girl

Taylor has been having a really rough time lately. Since her two top molars started poking through, she has been really irratable. Fabian and I were not feeling well last week so were are wondering if she has a sore tummy. So once again I'm going to hold off the potty training till she feels a little better. We will just worry about her teeth and sleep, she hasn't been sleeping much lately either.

What a day.

Its 11:15 and its been a very long day already. I have been sick for the last 3 days and Taylor is really testing me today. Poor me poor girl I don't know who's got it worse. Taylor seems to be getting into everything lately, spilling everything and its really hard for me to keep my composure. Today she tried to poop on the potty instead it was all over the house AGAIN. I know I should have probably caught her in the act but I was laying down cause I had a headache like I've never had before. It was different than most of my headaches and even different then my migraines, but just as painful. So it took me a hour and a half to clean her up and the carpets. I've been trying to keep my cool because the poor girl is teething but its really hard. She has been so whiney lately I just don't know what to do. But I do love the fact that she likes to be cuddled at bed time I just wish she was like that in the morning. Anyway enough of me complaing I must go on with the rest of this horrible day.

Eastynn's 7 and half month check up

We went to our check up today. It went good. I told him I was in a lot of pain cause she was stuck under my ribs he kind of blew it off until he measured my stomach and realized that she was stretched right out. And anyone who knows me knows I'm pretty short I don't have a whole lot of room between my ribs and hip bones. So it is very painful. On a positive note shes hurting my ribs so bad my back isn't hurting as bad. Everything was good at my doctors apponintment. Blood pressure was good as was the baby's heart beat. Till next time.

Weekend Full Of Fun With The Grandparents

Grandma and Grandpa Huber came to Medicine Hat this weekend, but didn't arrive till late on Friday evening so we didn't get to see them on Friday. Taylor and Fabian got to spend all of Saturday with them while I played darts till about 4:30, where I got first place playing with Anne Marie. When I got back to Uncle Daniels Taylor wasn't playing shy at all which was wonderful for all of us. Grandma and Grandpa were happy with that, as were Fabian and I because we got to go out for an evening and Grandma and Grandpa Huber got to babysit. We had a great supper that Daniels girlfriend Linda made, we had chicken cordon bleu and a lot of extras yummy before Fabian and I went out. Fabian and I went to a comedian who was so funny. We didn't stay out long only till 11:45 or so. My back was really sore from playing darts during the day I couldn't handle standing or sitting anymore. Sunday morning we went for brunch at Uncle Daniels his new girlfriend, Linda is a great cook. We had a big brunch bacon,eggs, pancakes, toast, tomatoes and juice. Not long after brunch Grandma and Grandpa Huber decided to hit the road and go back home. It was a great visit but not very long it would of been nice if they could've stayed a little longer.
So Sunday afternoon we went to the pet store where Taylor had so much fun till it was time to leave then we had a full blown tantrum. Its a nice place to take her she really enjoys it but leaving is really hard. So then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Mellors for the rest of the day. We had a nice visit with them as well. Grandma tried to convince me to go shopping with her I quickly pawned that off on to Fabian. So Fabian, Taylor and Grandma went shopping. Grandma came home with a really nice winter jacket and pants for Taylor.
that's about all for now.
Today the potty training will begin again and tomorrow we have another doctors appointment so there will be more to post tomorrow.

Sick and Tired

Man am I sick and tired of being pregnant. I wish Eastynn would just come already. I have been feeling really ill lately so bad today I sent Taylor over to my moms so I could get some rest cause I never got sleep last night. She has been moving so much and it really is starting to hurt. She is always up in my ribs which hurts. The countdown is on but the sooner the better. I think I have been having braxton hicks contractions and today maybe even just contractions. Anyway will post more about Eastynn on Tuesday if nothing happens before then.

The Cast Came Off

Today Taylor's cast finally came off, Thank God. That thing was starting to stink. She was really really scared when they took it off, she really cried hard. But it didn't take long for her to get back to her regular self. I thought she would be favoring her right arm still but she was bending and using her left one shortly after the cast came off. Her arm didn't even look to bad I thought there would be more dead skin and stuff but it looks good. A couple of her fingers look like they had been rubbed raw but it didn't seem to bother her. And the people at the hospital were amazing with her which was great. Maybe now we can get back to a normal sleep schedule. When she had the cast on she couldn't suck her thumb so that might have been why sleep was so hard to come by with the broken arm. She did have a nap today something that was very rare over the last 3 weeks. Well will keep you all updated on her over the next few days.

Long Weekend

On Thursday we went to Calgary and picked up Uncle Jason, we had a short but nice visit. He brought Taylor a puppet of a puppy and she really likes it, it barks to different songs like old McDonald and a couple others. Very cool little toy.

On Friday we went to Edmonton for a dart tournament. We stayed with Uncle Calvin and Brooklyn (which hopefully soon will be auntie Brooklynn). They have a new little puppy so cute. Taylor loved her until she would go after her food or her pant legs.

Friday night I played in a blind draw and didn't do very well. Saturday I played ladies doubles and I finished joint fifth with Wenda Carter. Saturday afternoon Brett and I played mixed doubles and did really good in our section unfortunately we came against a really tough team when it came to the knock out round. Sunday I played ladies singles I finished joint ninth over all and got knocked out by a lady who is number one in BC so not to bad in my mind. I shot very well, I beat a really amazing dart player in my section. I shot a 19 dart game which is very good in ladies darts. Sunday afternoon I played mixed triple our team was Brett, Pat Robinson and myself, a pretty decent team if I do say so myself. Although we had a very tough section and didn't make it to the knock out round, which may have been a blessing cause we got to get on the road at 7:00pm for the trip back to the Hat.

Taylor and Fabian seemed as if they really enjoyed there visit with Calvin and Brooklynn in Edmonton unfortunately due to darts I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them.

Taylor really traveled well this weekend. We had a little bit of whining but she actually didn't sleep all that much. From Medicine Hat to Calgary she didn't sleep at all. She slept a little from Calgary to Edmonton. And on the way home from Edmonton she didn't fall asleep until after Brooks. So the little bit of whining was ok. I remember before we had the DVD player she would cry from Suffield to Calgary.

All in all it was a very good weekend and I'm sure it will take all 3 of us a little while to get back on a normal schedule although mine is better I have been able to get at least 2 more hours sleep a night. We just have to work on Fabian and Taylor now.

Big Day Tomorrow

Its going to be a big day for the Mellor's tomorrow after a long five years maybe even more Jason is moving back to Calgary. I know I can't wait and anyone who knows the Mellor's has got to know my mom is elated. So we are all traveling up to Calgary tomorrow. Mom, dad, Fabian, Taylor, and myself. Mom and dad will be coming home on Saturday. We will be going up to Edmonton for a dart tournament and to visit with Fabian's brother Calvin and his girlfriend Brooklynn. That's all for now. Hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving.

7 Month Check Up

Today we had our 7 month check up. I love going to the doctor because it means we are one month closer to meeting baby Eastynn. And the doctors appointments will now be every two weeks instead of once a month.
Today I seen Doctor Prince one of the best baby doctors in Southern Alberta, from what I hear. So that makes me feel good.
He said that the baby is in the right position. Her heart beat is 150 bmp. My blood pressure was excellent. And we are ok to make a trip to Edmonton this weekend just as long as we make frequent stops and know of all emergency stops.

The VTech

Taylor got a new toy yesterday the Vtech Smile. It is an educational video gaming system, she also got a Blues Clues game with it. The system is aimed at 3+ age group but she can grow into it this way. They also have a Vtech Smile Baby gaming system which is aimed at 9 months - 36 months but from the reviews I read on the web it is not very good once the child has reached about 18 months. The Blues Clues game has one game in it that she loves its hide and seek. One of the characters will pop out and you have to find them its so funny to hear her high pitched screech saying "there she is" makes me laugh every time.
We decided to get it for her not only for the educational purpose but it wear her out and I think it may work. We still aren't getting much sleep for one whole week she has not fallen asleep before midnight. Were crossing our fingers that she'll be asleep within the next 15 minutes.
that's all for today.
