A Week at Nana's House

Well, Micah, Kadence and I just got back from a week at my parent's house. Micah wasn't there the whole time because he had to work. It was a very nice and relaxing trip!! Kadence got to perform all of her new tricks for them and they were very impressed. She has even come back saying "Later Dude!" which my brother taught her to say.

We had a fun and exciting time going to the mall and playing on the BIG tree. Kadence also got to ride a carosel for the first time. She wasn't big on the huge moving horses at first, but she came around and then did not want to get off. My sister took pictures and I will post them when i get them.

Also, Kadence had her first experience with Chuck E. Cheese. I never thought a 2 year old could have so much fun at a place like that, but she absolutely loved being there. She was so independent that she would come and ask for a token and take it to a ride, get on, put the token in, and ride all by herself. Again, the big singing mouse was not too appealing to her, but overall she had a blast.

One other new experience Kadence had was in Nana and Papa's front yard. It had rained the day before and they had a few 'HUGE' mud puddles in there driveway. Kadence, not being a very straight runner, took off down the driveway and before I could scream "watch out" she was face first into the mud puddle.

She was wearing a cute blue dress and her new white sandles. Luckily the mud came out and the scraped knees from the rocks healed just fine. She came home with more scabs and mosquito bites than she has ever had in her lifetime. The country life was a big difference from the city life here in Edmond.

As for a pregnancy update...quickly...
I am feeling pretty good. My back is starting to feel strained, but that is to be expected after carrying around a 2 year old all day. I had my first experience with feet swelling this last week after a long night of walking to the Astro's game and sitting in 80 degree weather for 3 hours. Luckily that went away after a couple of hours with my feet up!! I have another doctor appointment this afternoon and will give and update after I get back. I will get a belly shot posted this afternoon too!

UPDATE - Well my belly got 3 inches bigger since my last appointment and the doctor acted like that was a good thing. :-) Also, she informed me that I have pulled a round ligament and it is causing quite a bit of pain and discomfort after I have been on my feet all day or after carrying Kadence around. She told me to take it easy with strenuous activities until it starts to feel better. Is that the same as getting permission to go get a massage? I hope so. I am definitely in need of some pampering at thist point.

Day at the Park

We spent one Saturday afternoon taking lots of pictures of Kadence running around the park. She had lots of fun chasing the ducks and going down the slides. She is getting to be so independent these days and no longer needs mom and dad to slide with her. I can't believe how fast our little girl is growing up!
