The Brower Bunch

So, just to keep you all up to date, this is the latest information. Evidently Kaden isn't too excited about coming out to meet us. I had a dr.'s appointment today and he said that my cervix isn't "favorable" for induction. Needless to say, I had my hopes up and was getting very excited because I was sure that we would have a baby this weekend. So, I just sat there and cried and tried not to be angry at my cervix! :) Well, I am not very high on the priority list as far as inductions go because my body isn't "naturally" ready, so I have been put off until Wednesday Sept 4th. I am just trying to stay positive and be thankful that everything is fine and that he is healthy. We just have to wait. I am hoping that these next 6 days will go by fast. If he wants to come earlier, then that will be wonderful, but with my luck and history, it isn't going to happen. So I will be eating lots of ice cream to make myself feel better.

I have been so jelous this whole Summer reading about all of your adventures and finally I am able to post about something fun we have done as a family. Jerrod has been so busy with work and he is finally pretty much done with APX so we have had some time to spend together. We decided to take a little family trip this last Saturday to Ocean Shores. It was SO much fun just getting away for the day to spend it on the beach. We wanted to take Kennedi somewhere fun before all of the craziness happens with the baby coming. There are a lot of pictures, and even a ton more, but I picked out a few to tell about our day. Kennedi getting ready to hit the beach! Kennedi and Daddy on some huge rocks. It was so beautiful out there! We actually saw about 4 dolphins close to the shore. It was very cool. Kennedi is so lucky to have the best Daddy in the whole world. He loves playing in the sand with her. I just love watching them together! Kennedi LOVES the beach, but hates the ocean....

Okay, so I just wanted to get this out there. I ABSOLUTELY HATED the Dark Night. It is the new Batman movie and I must say that I really really liked Batman Begins. I LOVE Christian Bale and I just thought that it was a great movie. But, on Tuesday night, Jerrod and I were finally able to get away together to watch the highly anticipated Dark Night. Needless to say, we were very dissapointed. I was sick the entire two and a half hours. I hated the way it made me feel. There was absolutely no feeling of the Spirit being there. I could just feel that peaceful feeling leave me immediately. It was not uplifting and we left the theatre feeling very blah about the whole thing. It is very sad to me that everyone is saying that this movie is "SO GOOD" and that Heath Ledger is amazing in it. Yes, he did play the part very well. Well enough to make me feel that awful way, but it is very sad to me that this role is what ultimatly cost him his life. Why are we praising this?...

So, I tried to be cute and change my background to have it be more baby boy colors, and I messed it all up. So, I don't have everyone's blog link. Will you please comment me with your blog link so that I can repost them on here? I really love being able to look at all of your blogs to see how you are doing. Thanks!!

That's right...only ten days left. And this time I can actually say that that number is pretty accurate! I had a Dr. appointment last Friday to see how things are coming along. Well, the good news is, is that he has "dropped". The Dr. said that his head is right there. No wonder it hurts to walk. The not so good news is, is that I am not dialated yet. But, there is good news again. I will NOT be a week late again! I have an apt. on the 28th (my due date) and he said that if I am dialated at all and because his head is so low, that he will let me come in to be induced. YEAH!! That makes me excited to know that I have at least that day/weekend to look forward to. It was so hard with Kennedi just waiting around. So, here we are with 10 days left. I feel like there is still so much that I need to do to prepare for his arrival. I really think that it is just my "nesting" phase that is kicking in big time right now. I don't remember feeling this way w...

Two of my friends threw me a baby shower on Tuesday, August 12th. They did an amazing job and Shelley made sure that even the smallest details were personalized! I sure felt loved that day. My mom and sisters were able to be there to help celebrate as well. It was just a fun night and it got me even more excited for our little guy to come. It was a strange thing to see all of the blues and greens though! I am so used to all of the girly pinks! There was tons of food! It was so yummy! Little Missy enjoying the food! Drum roll please...We are naming him Kaden Wyatt Brower. Shelley had these M&M's made with his name on them! It was so much fun to have these. Then she made these amazing cupcakes because she knows how much I love cupcakes! Move over...the pregnant lady is coming through the food line!! Kennedi is trying to get first dibs on the gifts! This is one of the most amazing women I will EVER know! Shelley is one of my greatest friends and she will be for life. Can'...
