Kaiden is here!

Kaiden James Indo was born May 29, 2010 at 7:22 am. At birth he weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.

For the first hour or so of his life he was rather upset about this notion of being born, but after he got some breakfast and a nap, he decided it was alright. I'm feeling really good, just a little sore and achy, but overall everything is going really well for both mom and baby. Zander's excited to have his second little man, and Noah's not quite sure what's going on.

Scheduling Update

Got a call just barely, I'm officially on the schedule to have a C-section tomorrow morning at 6:30, which means I have to be there at 5:15 at the latest, which means I have to be up disgustingly early.

The Waiting Game

Last night we called to see what time to go to the hospital for our C-section. They said that they were reconsidering the schedule because of how full they were and they would let us know. That's never a good thing to hear. About 8 different phone calls later, my Dr. called me just barely to let me know that literally EVERY room is full right now and they're not even sure what they're going to do with women who walk in already in labor. But my Dr.'s are awesome and are going to come in on a Saturday and make sure that I'm well taken care of. So Kaiden will be born tomorrow instead of today. Evidently having a baby this weekend is the thing to do.

So instead Z and I are going to take the day off. My dad's going to make me my favorite breakfast, we'll go to a movie, and just have a nice relaxing day, which all in all, won't be too bad of a thing. Noah is going to stay with Granma and Papa Indo rather than us picking him up for most of the day then just taking him back tonight.

Tenor Fail

This is so embarrassingly funny.

Seriously I've heard it like 10-15 times, and I laugh every time.

Accidental Walk

This morning the horses that live across the street from us were making lots of noise. Noah got all excited and came running down the hall yelling "COWS!" (we're working on that) and wanted to go and see the horses. So we went out the back gate, but the horses were too far back in their yards for us to see. I decided we'd go for a little walk anyway. That little walk ended up with us down at the Sports Park on 700 S and like 2000 W. We didn't have the stroller, or diapers, or water, or my belly brace. We just kind of ended up going for a long walk. Noah played on the slides for a while, kicked some dandelions, got some big semi trucks to honk for him (much to his delight) and then we headed home cuz the weather was looking temperamental. The poor little guy was REALLY tired and starting to drag, so I offered to carry him, and he pretty much collapsed in my arms as soon as I got him up. Poor kid. Overall we ended up walking about 1 1/2 miles, and he did AWESOME.

Maternity Photos

On Wednesday, Rochelle and I headed over to the AF amphitheater to do a round of maternity photos. Here's some of my favorites so far.

Busiest Saturday Ever

Our Saturday started bright and early, with all three of us leaving the house ready to go by 7:30. Noah and I dropped Z off to school, wandered around for a while giving me all sorts of flashes down memory lane, and then we headed over to IHOP for some breakfast. There are a lot if waitresses who would cringe at seeing a very obviously pregnant woman being sat at a table with a toddler, and no other adults to help, but this woman went above and beyond in making things easy for me, and helping me out. She was fantastic, as was our breakfast. I haven't like pancakes for like 15 years, but got some with my meal, and they were GOOD.
Z's class wasn't due to let out until almost noon, so Noah and I went over to visit Emily and the kids for a while. Jared was really excited to play with Noah and kept telling him to come downstairs so he could show him where the toys were. Emily and I sat around and talked the morning away, and the kids really entertained themselves and let us. It was great.

Around 11:30 Noah and I headed back over to the school to pick up Z, then we went to the parents house to put the boy down for a nap, and have some lunch and down time. When Noah woke up we ran to north Orem, grabbed the Indo grandparents and Eva, and headed up to Bridal Veil FallsLast August Noah got to play in a mountain stream for a little while and had the time of his life, so I knew that he'd have a fun time playing at the base of Bridal Veil. He and Eva climbed up the falls quite a ways with Papa, then splashed water all over themselves, each other, and Papa for a good long while. Once they started getting too cold (that water was FREEZING) we wrapped them up in their towels and headed home.

Pirates - AHOY!

A few weekends ago for Zander and Alisha's combined birthday party, all of the Indo's migrated over to Pirate Island in Orem. Honestly, that place is like Chucky Cheese, Pirates of the Carribean style, with a hint of crack. All of the servers are in full pirate gear (ours looked EXACTLY like Heath Ledger), there are cannons that go off every half hour, fireflies in the "trees", a balloon animal artist that comes to your tables, then of course video games and a play ground as well. I was very impressed and I think we'll take the boys there for their birthday part in a few years.
He's happy I promise. He's got pizza and pirates!

Eva loved her flower hat

Noah's hat was a bit much for him at this point, so we passed it aroundSometimes Aunt Alisha is a little 'special'Once Noah got over the fear of his hat, he put it on and asked us to take pictures. We happily obliged.

The video is dark, but you should be able to see the sword fight that Noah lost with Alisha.
