I can't believe I've let this news slide on this blog for so long but...
***surprise!***
We are expecting another sweet little guy to join our family in early January. I'm almost 30 weeks along and am due on January 11th. We are all so excited. The appointments have been going well, very low key and he looks healthy. He is measuring a little bit small.
I'm feeling better now but earlier on I was SO much more sick then I ever was with Kipton. I was throwing up multiple times a day for almost two months. I'm feeling better now and am so glad that the morning sickness is over. It's definately been more challenging going through a pregnancy with two little ones that are still are at a needy stage in life. Kylie is very excited and I know she will be a big help.
Still no news on names. I hate the whole naming situation- it stresses me out. Kylie wants to name him "Kipper the Dog" and I've been calling him buster for now. We'll find something much more proper than that I'm sure. We've been asked this many times, but no we aren't planning on continuing the "K" theme although we wouldn't pass on a name just because of that. It just happens that the top few names we have on our boy list aren't K names.
I've been so consumed with the basement that I've been neglectful in nesting this time around. I've finally made some chenille baby bibs for this little guy because Kipton pretty much wore a bib during his awake hours until he was a year old. I need to make him his blanket and get a few other things.
We did find out that our insurance is switching (get this) on January 1st, 2013. Of course it had to happen the week or two before I'm due!!! Our insurance has always been non-IHC based hospitals and looks like the new insurance is IHC based. So we are trying to figure out what we need to do to continue coverage with my doctor and hospital at least until this baby is born. On so many levels it would make life easier if this baby was born on December 30th but I'm not counting on that happening.

Basement
One of the reasons we've been super busy around these parts is that we are in the middle of having our basement finished!!! So far I've been in charge of subbing all the work out- Jared calls me the GM of this project. The side of our yard looks like a junk yard. So far we've had the framing, electrical, HVAC and most of the plumbing done. Jared and I pulled the permit kind of after the fact and found out we need to fireblock the basement so after that is finished we can get our four way inspection... and then onto drywall! We were hoping to have it done by January but I'm not sure it will happen by then. There will be a long L shaped family room/ game room, two large bedrooms and a full sized bathroom. We had shelving built in our cold storage and that has been fabulous! We are so excited to get some more livable square footage out of this house.
Gee whiz I've been terrible about keeping this blog up. Here are some updates in a nutshell... a few updates deserve their own post so stay tuned!
-Kylie's birthmom, Abbie and birth-grandma, Tammy came to visit us for a few days over Kylie's 5th birthday. We had a blast and were SO GRATEFUL that they were able to spend some time with us. Kylie has been talking about her birthday non stop and was so excited for her birthday party. We invited eight of her friends and they painted pumpkin pictures, did a cake walk, decorated sugar cookies and smashed a pinata to pieces. I'm really glad we did the pinata- they had so much fun. She has been asking about getting a dream lite f.o.r.e.v.e.r so she's now the proud owner of the unicorn variety, and a little baby that talks. Kipton likes to yank the binky out of the baby's mouth and says "WAKE UP!". We are in trouble :) She received bitty baby twins from her birthmom, and a whole slew of toys from her friends that are fit for our princess. We went to a pumpkin patch that morning with Abbie and Tammy and picked out some pumpkins and got inches of mud caked onto our shoes. The day after her birthday Abbie took her swimming and to the aquarium where she got to feed the stingrays. They have so much love for her and it was so much fun seeing them again.
-Since I've been stressing out about the basement, finding a new vehicle, Kylie's b-day and such I went kind of low key on their costumes this year. Kylie is going to be Snow White and Kipton is going to be a firefighter. They are excited to go trick or treating at Jared's office tomorrow afternoon, as well as around the neighborhood.
-We are on the hunt for a new vehicle since three kiddo's won't fit in my little Corolla. I'm NOT looking forward to driving a larger vehicle along with the gas mileage that comes along with it!! We've really like the GMC Acadia's that we've test driven so far and will probably end up with one. I like that they are built on the inside with captain chairs on the second row. We need a tow hitch and not many of them have them already installed so it's making the search a bit tricky. We are on a time crunch so it's time to get serious about that.
