He's a Big Boy Now!

Kade has been doing awesome with the potty training. Matt said he didn't have one accident yesterday, and in fact wore the same pull-up all day long. YAY! He is doing really well and his pull-ups are only slightly damp when he wakes up in the morning. He is wearing big boy underwear, however with runing errands and such we use the pullups so we don't have any accidents. Kaden is very good with telling us when he has to go potty. He even went #2 in the potty!!!

It's Official!!!

Okie dokie, I am horrible and have the damnedest time keeping this blog up!!! The last two weeks have gone by in a blur, with lots of ups and downs and excitement. Here's some updates:

• ... drumroll please ... I'm PREGNANT!! YAY! I bought a few pregnancy tests online and and took the first on 1/10/09 - It came out with a very faint line, but it was visible! I took a few more over the course of 3 days and they all had a faint line. On 1/14 I went and bought a digital test and it gave the the best answer ever! "PREGNANT!" YAY! Oh, I am overjoyed! Well, Matt is too, he is like a giggly teenage girl :) We can't wait and have already discussed names. Too bad some people don't want to what the sex is, because now we can't tell anyone what this little spud is going to be. I sent a text message with the "pregnant" results to my mom, some family and friend that contained some "cheering music". I am so happy!! According to my last monthly, this baby will be due 9/24/2009. I have my first prenatal appointment on February 6th. Luckily I picked a day Matt has off so we lucked out so he could go :)

• This means Kaden is going to be a a Big Brother! Matt and I found a shirt at Wal-Mart last night that says "I'm the Big Brother" so we bought it and went to pick him up from Dad and Cathy's house last night. I cornered Kaden and switched shirts and then had him go show Gramma his new shirt. Cathy's eyes widened all up and she didn't believe it for a minute. Kaden showed Dad/Papa his shirt and my dad looked at it for a minute before he finally realized what was going on. Tanner totally did NOT get it, it was hilarious. Cathy and Kalie are already arguing over who gets to babysit. LOL
• I told my mom by calling her/texting her but it was last week when we were not quite sure. I called her on Wednesday and told her it was confirmed :) She is esctatic and already talking about a trip to NP in September.
• I have also told most of my family so far, who seem very happy and supportive. No negativity at all. :) We are waiting to tell Matt's parents because 1) he has to work this weekend 2) we are not looking forward to the all the complaining and harping his mom does and says about everything that happens in this world. I will guarantee you we will probably not be there long after sharing the news.

Anywho, enough on this subject, on to other topics. :)

Oui Ve! Catch up time!

*Hmm.. Let's start with New Year's Eve. Matt and I spent 3 hours getting the damn car licensed. Turned out, HSBank lost ANOTHER title (third one's a charm apparently) and we had to go rustle up the dealership and get them to write out a new one. So we get to the court house, sit in line forever, and ... the smell wafes through my nose ... Kaden crapped his pants! Soo ... we go to the bathroom which I think was built in the 1800's - and it's about 95 degrees in there, so even worse for the smell issue! I get him cleaned up and get his shoes back on and leave the bathroom - and the smelly pull up :) Mat tis looking for us - we forgot to grab the sales tax form and the proof of insurance. So we head home and grab the sales tax - of course the proof of insurance is no where to be found. So I call up my step-mom and ask if I can use her printer and get the stupid thing printed off. So, get that done and head back to the Courthouse where we fork over a big chunk of change for plates that I wish had the Husker emblem on them! (Matt says no! :( Pooey on him! LOL) Then we go pay rent and head to Wal-mart to pick up a few miscellaneous items - Joy to Wal-Mart! Ha ha NOT. When we get done there we head to the new Mexican restaurant in town (not worth it) and enjoy a fun meal with my BFF Shantell and her 3.5 month old boy, Jericho. Matt's brother John and his wife Larissa were there, along with their daughter Adysyn. EWW I totally just found a curly gray hair on my shirt and it is NOT mine!) Anyways. We went back to our house and settled in for a night of semi-drunken Wii Mario Party 8 :) It was a BLAST! We stopped playing MP8 in order to watch the New York Square Ball drop and celebrated with some kisses and confused looks from the kids who were suprisingly still awake.
*Now for a work related issue - here is some background: I started for the State Patrol as a dispatcher in November 08. They paired me with my WONDERFUL trainer, and now awesome friend, Maggie and she had taught me so much in the last 8 weeks. Then.. (drum roll) a new girl gets hired. Guess who gets the short end of the stick and gets her shift changed and her precious time taken away for joyful learning with Maggie? That's right - ME. I went from a peaceful 3pm-11pm shift to 7am to 3pm. Ok, so today waking up was not a fun thing to do! My body is used to the evening shift and I usually don't fall asleep until 2 am. Well, same thing last night. I could not fall asleep until after 2 am and the alarm going off at 5:45 was very RUDE. I was ready to chuck my phone lol. So I snoozed it. Then it goes off again at about 6:15 and I grumble and snarl at my phone once again then sweet darling Matt calls me. Oops. I get a little snippy and to let me sleep! LOL. I fall asleep for about 5 minutes then drag my ass out of bed, into the shower and out into the cold. So far so good, day is going smoothly and there hasn't been too much trouble. The troopers are being nice to me, and not griping about me having them repeat what they are saying. It is funny to hear the hesitation and confusion of the troopers because I have not worked radio on the day shift and very few of them know that I am here.
*Well, that is about the jist of it for today. I will report back later if I dare keep my eyes open.
