OUR NEW PRESIDENT!

Well, I just have to do a quick post about today, one of the greatest days in America - a TRUE piece of history. I feel absolutely lucky to be alive and to be witnessing such a tremendous event. To think, years ahead, when my little girl is in school and does a report on this, I can say I watched it, I witnessed it, I felt the emotions of something spectacular. To be able to see our first African-American President leaves me speechless. Hearing him speak is pure music to my ears. While I did not vote for him, or McCain, I did vote. I knew as I followed the Election, Obama would more than likely be our next President. I just have to say I’m truly proud of Americans in our country for electing someone different – someone who stands for CHANGE & HOPE. I really do believe in Barack Obama and I think we’re going to see change in the near future.

How blessed am I to witness an amazing piece of history today.

a little update! pictures coming soon!

I know, I've had no updates lately. I apologize. I guess I'm not that great at keeping everyone informed! And to top it off, I've been busier than hell since we moved into our new house. The house is completely done (all except Kaylee's nursery, which has been used as a storage for the past two weeks!) We'll be nursery furniture shopping shortly.. we really don't have a choice. Ha! I cannot believe she'll be here in 13 weeks. WOW! Time flies by way too fast. So..here are my recent updates..

The house:
The house is wonderful! I love it soooo much, and couldn't be happier with it. I love living out in the country, because we have no neighbors to worry about and we can ride our quads and Rhino whenever we want. Plus, all our neighbors live close. Yesterday, we met up at Gibson's house and went riding out near Laton and Stoney's area. It was so much fun.. I haven't really done that since high school, so it felt good to be able to be out there again and just enjoy ourselves. There were a ton of families out riding w/ their little kids. It was adorable because their kids were on tiny quads. I told Troy we're so getting one for Kaylee. He said we have to wait until she's at least 6. I was surprised! Normally he'd be the one pushing for her to be riding. Anyway, the house is great.. and things are coming along well. Hopefully we'll be getting a dog closer to this summer. We really want a dog we can take along with us out to the river and on coast trips.

My beautiful daughter:
My pregnancy is going by so fast, but I'm already getting impatient! While I'm enjoying the perks of being pregnant, I want to see her little face and just hold her. I want to hear her first cry in the hospital! I also want my body to go back to NORMAL! These mood swings, and emotional out bursts of crying just are not working for me. Thank God I have a loving and supporting boyfriend who just deals with it. All he cares about is my safety and the baby's well-being. I carry a load of laundry and he asks why I'm doing laundry.. or why I'm cleaning the house.. and he insists on me NOT touching the vacuum cleaner. I'm pregnant, not incapable of living! But I'm glad he's that way. I'm 27 weeks pregnant as of today, so 13 more left. I had a little scare about 2 weeks ago.. I thought I was contracting, but turns out, my body was dehydrated and a little stressed. I went in to the Labor and Delivery in the hospital at around 2 a.m. After they monitored the baby, they released me around 5 a.m. The baby sounded great, and according to my body, I wasn't contracting. THANK GOD! So, now I'm forcing myself to drink a ton of water during the day. Which isn't easy. But dehydration can spark premature labor, so I HAVE to drink, drink, drink! I do not want my little girl here this early. Although, if she was born now, she has an 85% chance of living, which is comforting, but still... on a lighter note, my 3D pics are tomorrow!! I'll post them ASAP! I cannot wait to see her little face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kaylee's Godmother:
For those who do not know, my mom's best friend, Kaylee's Godmother, and practically my second mother Sonia, was involved in a pretty serious car accident on Jan. 14th in the early morning. She was on her way to work on Kansas and 43. She rear-ended a big rig (details are kind of sketchy right now), but what we know is the big rig had no lights on and was making a u-turn in the middle of the road, blocking off all traffic. Well, anyone who lives in this area knows how bad the fog has been this past week, you can't see ANYTHING. Sonia rear-ended the big rig and got rear ended herself. I guess total there were 7 cars involved. She was pinned in her truck - they used the jaws of life to extract her. She's okay, just has a ton of recovering to do. She fractured her ribs, busted her lip pretty good, split her chin open, knocked out some teeth and shifted some teeth out of place. She also chipped some c-spines in her upper neck, and has some pretty bad nerve damage in her lower spine (c-5, c-6, and c-7). She had some bleeding behind her eyes near her forehead, but that has stopped. According to the doctor, she'll never be able to hold her neck up on her own again, so they're going in to do surgery either today or tomorrow and fuse the bone together and place some pins and rods to give her support in her neck. We went and seen her on Saturday and she looks amazing for what she's been through. Her face is still pretty swollen, she has some bad bruising, and her lips and chin don't look all that great, but she's still beautiful and still has her fighter attitude. She'll be okay, just has to recover now. So, please, keep her in your prayers.

Well that's been my life lately! But anyone who knows me, knows my life is crazy. I wouldn't have it any other way! Boring and calm just isn't for me! I'll post pictures later this week (more than likely tomorrow once I get back from Fresno.) My aunt Deb is begging for them..haha.. love you!

Welcome to Casa De King

Does that make any sense? Anyway, we got a house and my title is supposed to say "Welcome to the King House!" We move in Jan. 2 2009! What a perfect way to start off a new year. I'm so looking forward to 09! New house and our little miracle will be here. It's so funny because Troy and I have been talking about moving out into our own place (we found out I was pregnant in August and we said we've move in Jan.) Well, the day after Thanksgiving we went to Fresno to start getting stuff for a house (even though at that point we didn't have a house picked out. well, on the way to Fresno, I seen a cute house off the side of the road, for rent! I didn't say anything to Troy at that point.. on the way home I told him to look at it and asked him what he thought. We called the next day to set up an appt to go see it. We loved it! Although it was pretty dang messy and needed a good cleaning, we knew it had great potential! So, needless to say, we sign the lease and put down the deposit this Friday! The rent is cheap and the house is big.. and our favorite part - IT'S OUT IN THE COUNTRY!!!! No neighbors, just pure fields surrounding us. We love it! I can't wait to move in and start decorating and making it our little home!!!

Turning the heater on for the first time...

Okay, so I know other people out there can relate. You know how it starts to get cold in your home or office, but not yet cold enough for the heater, so you manage by just turning of the AC? K..well, today it got REALLY cold in my office, so we turned off the AC. We thought that'd be good enough. Well about 15 min ago we decided to turn on the heater just to take the chill away. OMG. Seriously. It smells like a dead animal has rotted away in the air ducts. All of its glorious smell has now entered MY office. It's disgusting. I'm pregnant - and anyone who has been pregnant knows their sense of smell is heightened by like 56 million times. So, in the event of us trying to keep warm, we now have an office that smells like a dead rodent and roses (because of my brilliant idea to spray Air Freshner). If you need insurance and come to Bacome, prepare to breath in nothing but nastiness. Oh, I've also defeated the WHOLE purpose of being warm by propping open the front door to air out the dead rodent smell. So, I love when a good idea in its beginnings sounds great, until it back fires.

EWWWW - that's all I have to say.

so beautiful

I had to share this article another friend shared w/ me. I love Bridgette - talk about a sweetheart! Thanks, Bridgeeee for sharing. I will be taking each one of these lines and putting them throughout Kaylee's baby scrapbook. So adorable. I love it.

Thirty-two things that change when you have a baby....

1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.
2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.
3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.
4. You respect your body... finally.
5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.
6. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.
8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have been banished years ago.
9. Your heart breaks much more easily.
10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.
11. Every day is a surprise.
12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Horray for poop!)

14. You become a morning person.

22. Silence? What's that?
23. You realize that the 15 pounds you can't seem to get rid of are totally worth having.
24. You discover an inner strength you never thought you had.
25. You no longer rely on a clock - your baby now sets your schedule.
26. You can give parents with a screaming child an 'I-know-the-feeling' look instead of a 'Can't-they-shut-him-up?' one.

32. If you didn't believe in love a first sight before, now you do!

OUR BABY GIRL!

Well, it's a girl! Kaylee Madilynn King. How amazingly blessed do I feel?! Two days before Thanksgiving, and we find out our baby is COMPLETELY healthy and is "perfect"! The ultrasound tech kept saying over and over how amazingly pretty her little face is and how strong she is. She was flipping and kicking and punching. When we first started the ultrasound, Kaylee stuck up her little thumb and opened her mouth... and then stuck her whole hand in mouth. It was so adorable to see my little girl sucking on her fingers, haha. The ultrasound tech also said she has to be an athlete because of her structure and how beautiful her legs are. I'm so excited!!!! 20 more weeks and I'll be able to hold her against me and look into her little eyes and grab her little fingers.. and kiss her little face. I can't wait.
