29.5 Week Check Up
I went yesterday for my check up and sonogram and everything looks great. EXCEPT that this child has not stopped moving since the weekend. Each night this week I have gotten between 2 and 5 hours of sleep! I asked the Dr. what the deal was because my precious Caden NEVER moved that often. She said, 'Every pregnancy is different!' Wow, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that!
I only gained a lb in the last month which was great news to me!
She said that even though I am due November 4th that she could take the baby the week before Halloween if I wanted her to. I told her that would be great so that I could participate in Halloween Trick or Treating with Caden! I do not want to neglect him!
All is well so far and I go back on September 9th for my next appointment. We have now begun the every 2 week visits.
Here are a couple of pictures of our sweet baby!

Caden's 4th Birthday Part 2
Since today was Caden's actual birthday, we could not pass up celebrating again!
This morning, I placed candles in his favorite 'white' donuts and had chocolate milk and a gift for him to open!
All I had to do to wake him up was say 'Happy Birthday Caden! We have a surprise for you in the kitchen!' Here he is coming into the kitchen to check it out!
It was a mini penguin pillow pet for nap time at school! He was so excited!
Early morning smiles from our 4 year old! WOW!
Then on to celebrating at night tonight! I got him a cake and we had candles and sang Happy Birthday to him again!
He was a tad bit excited! And yes, he is wearing his CARS pj's AGAIN that GiGi and Poppa got him! I have to sneak them out of his room to wash them!
Blowing out the number 4, 4 candles and a Lightning McQueen candle!
After the cake, it was time for more gifts. We told him to close his eyes, and this is the picture Tim got! I love it!
He got a bran-new Cars 2 backpack for school! He was so thrilled!
We put the movie Rio inside the front zipper of the backpack. He thought that was so cool!
We also got him a metal CARS lunch box that he will keep his crayons, markers and pencils in for here at home! We let him open a gift from Jane our neighbor and friend and it was a cool Toy Story art kit!
We are hoping he doesn't think this will continue tomorrow! As he prayed tonight at the table he said, 'And Dear God, when I wake up it will be my BIRTHDAY!'
Happy 4th Birthday Caden!
We cannot believe our Cade Man is 4 YEARS OLD! Where in the world has the time gone? I can remember having him like it was yesterday! You have brought us so many laughs into our lives Caden. You are such a gracious, caring and tender-hearted little man! You will always be Mommy's doodlebug and Daddy's peanut! We know you are going to be an amazing big brother as well!
We love you with all we have within us and hope you have a fantastic birthday!

My Baby Shower
Saturday was not only Caden's birthday party, but my best friend Jamie threw a Baby Shower for me at her home. Everything was beautiful and this baby got a lot of stuff!
I had such a great time getting to see all my friends and family!
How cute is this? It is a fun, creative and beautiful twist on the diaper cake! It's a tricycle that Jamie made! I absolutely love this and will be displaying it in the baby's room!
Jamie actually gave me a 'Sprinkle', which is the name for a shower for your 2nd baby! This banner (made by Martha Stewart, I mean Jamie) says 'Sprinkled With Love'!
Aimee's daughter Tabitha is in Caden's class and Tabitha got Caden a 'Big Brother' shirt! He was so excited when he saw this!
Beth (Jamie's Mom), Jamie, and Allison (Jamie's sister). Thank you Beth and Allison for coming down to help with the shower! I love you all!
My Very Best Friend! I love you Jamie! You are so special to not only me but to my family as well!
Thank you Jamie for making my 'Sprinkle' so special and beautiful! You are such a great friend and talented shower planner as well! Love you!

Open House and First Day of School
I cannot believe Caden is in K4 now! One more year and then kindergarten! We attended his Open House on Thursday night and he had so much fun!
Here he is after he found his 'spot'! Does he look a tad bit happy to you?
GiGi and Poppa were here for his birthday weekend and they posed for a quick shot before we headed out the door! Daddy was already at work!
He had a great first day and was talking non-stop when we picked him up from school!

Little Richard, I Mean Caden

Indoor Safari Park
Saturday I took Caden to the Indoor Safari Park in Plano that is super close to our house! He had a really good time and wanted to know if we could take his baby brother there when he 'popped out'. I said, 'Sure!'
Here he is scoping out the place when we first arrived.
He spent more time in the jump houses but that's okay! He was having a blast.
The admission you pay includes 2 rides on a train and 1 ride on an animal. Clearly he is almost too big for the animal riding, but he had fun anyway.
He had fun on the train as well. Each time they would go around the announcer would point out animals on the 'safari train ride' and ask which animals were the kids' favorite. Here he is making his silly face!
After we explored all they had to offer, he noticed all of these train tables that were set up. Some had pirate ships others had cars, etc. It is the perfect place for a birthday party and they had rooms set up just for parties.
Sorry the video is on its side. I got a new phone and haven't quite figured it all out yet!
