Kamryn Reese Heard

We have only 3 weeks and 1 day until our little Kamryn is suppose to make her debut!!

Yes, we are pregnant again and are soo excited! Some ppl. make think that we are too young and crazy for having 3 little ones so close together, but we don't. Yes, children are expensive and at times it can be hectic, but I love our little angels and think that we are very blessed. It was not a planned pregnancy and yes we were using protection, but still ended up pregnant. I guess that God had a plan for us. This will definately be our last baby bc I have signed the paperwork to have my tubes tied. We would like to have a boy, but 3 little girls is plenty for us.

My official due date is March 2, 2010. I don't know that I will make it to that date. I have been having some contractions already and I woke up this morning and started scrubbing floors and walls. I have an unbelievable amount of energy today and I haven't had that since my 2nd trimester. The girls are excited for their new little sister. Avery is most excited! She said, that she is going to help give baby Reese a bath, feed her, change her diaper, rock her and kiss her. She is so sweet. I think Haidyn is excited until she gets here and realizes how much of mommy's attention Reese will be getting and she will not like her so much. Haidyn is very much a mommy's girl and gets jealous very easily!!

Our bags are packed and we just have to wait for her arrival. I will have my check-up on Thursday and I will see if I have started dialating. This week he could feel her head, but didn't want to poke around too much and kick start any labor.

I just thought that I would get on here and give a quick update on us. I know it has been sooo long, but as you can see we have had alot going on!

I just want to say how amazing our friends Zach and Tiffany have been to us! The Pifer's have been with us almost every weekend lately helping us get furniture moved and rooms redone. Tiffany threw us a baby 'sprinkle' last weekend and it was amazing! I am so very grateful for their friendship and I am glad that they are beside us thru this journey :)

Here are a couple of pics...

3 weeks left..

Yes...I am still alive!!

Hey, everyone! So, I know that I have fallen off whole blogging thing, but I am back :)

Things have been a little crazy around here lately, so I have not had to much time to blog. So, here is a small update and I hope to get back to blogging more regularly.

I became and Aunt last month. I have a precious new little nephew and I kinda like being able to hold a little baby again. It is alittle weird seeing a little baby boy bc I am use to little girls. I have had to change a couple of diapers and I def. have to have my sister help me bc I don't know how you are suppose to clean the extra parts.

I have not been really working since November of last yr. bc of the economy not doing so well, so my boss kinda had to let me go. I was really just filling in up at the office if he needed me. Well, I decided that it wasn't working for us anymore and that I needed to find a full time job. The only problem I was running into, was finding a job that would pay enough for me to justify putting the girls in daycare. Daycare is def. not cheap and I am not going to work just for the money to go straight to them. I would much rather stay at home and be with our girls than that. So, I started looking and I put my application in with the State for a clerical position and I actually got a call back for an interview!! I was shocked and excited, but nervous bc I have never really had a formal interview before. So, I went in for my interview on a Friday and I cried when it was over bc I thought I blew it!! It is a great job with amazing benefits and I was crushed bc I just knew that I was not going to get it. Well, on Tuesday, I got a call from the supervisor that interviewed me and he asked if I would except the position!! I told him of course and I just started this past Monday. I absolutely LOVE it and I really like all the ppl. that I work with. It is a VERY fast paced job, so time really flies by and there is never a dull moment. I am mainly going to be doing scheduling for 11 caseworkers in our department and I will more than likely have to help with the other departments. This week, I did some computer training, scheduling, screening applications and so on. It was hard at first to be away from the girls so much, but it is a great thing for our family that I got the job.

With me starting the new job, the girls started daycare. Avery has attended this daycare before and I really liked it in the past. She really was learning lots of new things, so I enrolled both girls in there. The 1st 3 mornings were AWEFUL bc the girls cried when I took them to their rooms and of course I had to cry!! Haidyn, got sick on Tuesday night with a high fever and I thought she might have an ear infection. We took her to Urgent Care Wed. night after I got off of work and they went ahead and did a flu test and it came back POSITIVE!! The dr. told me not to freak out! He said, it isn't as bad as the tv is making it to be and that she should be fine in 7 days. So far, no complications and she is actually not having alot of the symptoms he told me she would. Now, Avery is starting with some of them, but no fever yet. I am hoping hers is just allergies and the H1N1 flu!!

So, everyone is doing great and we are loving that the fall weather is here!! This is my favorite time of the year and I can't wait for Halloween. The girls, James and I put up our Halloween decorations last weekend and I LOVE IT! The fair starts here for us next week and I am super excited for it. The girls will have a blast and I can't wait to go to some concerts.

Avery's 1st Movie Experience..

Today, my mom, grandma and I took little miss Avery to the movies. It was her very 1st time and it was so much fun. We took her to see Ice Age-Dawn of the Dinosaur and it was a cute movie.

We got there, got our tickets and headed inside. When you first walk in there are lots of lights and games and her face was priceless!! I wish I could have caught it on camera. She was just taken back by everything. We took her to the concession stand and she picked out popcorn, cherry icee and twizzlers. She was set and so we headed to theatre #7. We were the only ones in that movie and I was kinda glad bc I didn't know how she was going to act. She was so good and sat the whole time and snacked and would just crack up at some of the scenes. I was really happy that she made it thru the whole movie.

It was so much fun and I know she can't wait to go back!

(Avery is in this pose and fake smile for the camera phase. You will see in the pics)

Yummy!!

Mean Face!!

Little Miss Haidyn has really gotten some personality lately! She has always been such a smiley and happy baby, but since she has turned 1, she has changed so much! She is talking so much more, she is very brave and climbs on everything, she is basically running everywhere, pointing to facial features and tells us what they are and so much more.

Her latest is making her "mean face". It is so funny and she does it everytime you ask her! Here is a little video of our little stinker....

Let's Show Our Support!!!

Hey, blogger friends!

As, most of you know, our sweet friends The Pifer's have their 3rd dr.'s appt. tomorrow in Austin. We are praying that her" little" follies grew over the past 3 days and she gets the good news that they deserve and their dr. tells them, that they are right on track for their IUI's.

Well, if you haven't heard the story of her fortune she got in her fortune cookie last weekend, let me fill you in. Her fortune said, "Pay close attention to the color purple, for it will bring you good luck." (Might not be the exact words, but close). Anyways, my girls and I were able to go with Tiffany this past Thurs. to her dr appt. and we wore our purple and it made Tiffany extremely happy :).

So, tomorrow if you could pls. show your support and help bring good luck and good vibes to the Pifer's by wearing your purple!! If you get a chance and could take a pic of yourself wearing your purple and email it to piferbeanfund@yahoo.com that would be amazing; I would love to put together a post with everyone's pic and that way The Pifer's could see how many ppl are praying and supporting them through this new chapter in their life!

I really appreciate it and ya'll will never know how much everyone's kind words, prayers and support mean to the Pifer's.

Feel free to re-post or send to anyone as well....lets support the Pifers!!

**WEAR YOUR PURPLE ON SUNDAY**

Bowling

Saturday night my mom kept the girls for James and I. We have not been out in a while, so we wanted to hangout with our friends. It was The Pifer's, The Sim's, Aimee (my sister), Matt and his friend. We all met at La Fiest first and ate dinner and hungout. After dinner, we headed to the Westview Lanes and got our bowl on.

I have not been bowling in a couple of years and it was too much fun. We got there about 11 and the Extreme Bowling had already begun. The lights were all off, black lights on, music and unlimited bowling. I am def. not good, but I think my game improved as the night went on. Tiffany was really good and got tones of spares! James is really good, but he use to play in a league a long time ago! Aimee shocked me by how well she plays. She was 1 pin away from a Turkey (3 strikes in a row)and she def. kicked my butt. My arm was so tired after about 4 games and I had to quit and I def. felt it the next day. Those balls are so heavy and my weak arms really have to work to get it down the lane..haha! We bowled til about 1:00 am and then all headed home. I love nights like these and I want to go bowling again soon. We are even talking about joining a league...that should be interesting!!!

My Honey and I...

Souper Salad & Our Girls..

Our girls favorite place to go and eat would be Souper Salad!! They absolutely love their veggies and fruit and they eat soo much!! Both girls love salad, broccoli, cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe and honey dew melon. That is what their meals consist of. Avery will tell us that she wants to eat, "Soup Salad". We took them last Friday night and I snapped a couple of pics with my phone of them bc they are just too cute!

Haidyn kicked back in her high chair, eating her ice cream cone
