Doctor Appointment

I had my doctor appointment yesterday and baby looks good. I will be 36 weeks on Friday which means if I do go into labor then I can delivery in Mankato. I might need that since he checked me and I am 2-3 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Things are starting to move along. Now it really could be anytime. Let hope for a New Years baby or a lest a couple more weeks. I go back on Monday the 22nd. Angie

Update on the Moreau

It has been a busy few weeks. I have been getting spirts of energy and nesting. I painted the baby/toy room, bathroom, and our bedroom 2 weekends ago. I am feeling better about getting the room put together and ready for the new arrival. Eric is working hard and working weekends to try to get all his stuff done and to be able to take time off during the holidays. Kaylee is excited about getting to play in the snow and school has been going good. We just ordered her dance costume for her recital in May and of course they are so cute!! I can't wait. Mya is enjoying her time with her baby dolls, she is such a mother hen. Mya comes up to my belly all day to hi and kiss her baby brother. I hope she will be that nice to him when he comes out. Speaking of, I am 36 weeks on this Friday. We made it with no bed rest, or complications. I see the doctor on Wednesday. If anything happens after Friday they would keep me in Mankato. Which is nice to know I would be close to home. Baby is moving a lot and I am having contractions still but they are not doing anything so we are thankful of that for now. I am getting to the point of feeling done though. It will be soon enough. Christmas is around the corner and I am sure that the time will fly by. I have a few more things to get ready for but all in all we are ready. Happy Holidays to everyone, Angie

Busy weekend

This weekend was quite busy. I think I had a little nesting bug. Eric left for work on Saturday morning and stayed up at a friends house Saturday night then to work again on Sunday he didn't get home until 5pm on Sunday. The girls and I did a lot of cleaning and rearranging. My mom came over Saturday morning and help scrub floors, clean the fridge, and all the stuff that just doesn't get done much anymore. Saturday afternoon we all took a little rest then I got up and started switching rooms. We moved the Kaylee downstairs a few months ago and Mya went downstairs a few weeks ago. They have done really good. So the Master bedroom was being used as the toy/ baby room. So I moved Eric and I back into the master bedroom and the toy/baby room into the 2nd bedroom. Only thing left is to paint. I am hoping that I can get this done over a long weekend or something. I already am liking having my big room back. The baby will be in our room while I am nursing at night. I am getting excited for this new little one and I know that the time will go fast with having the holidays in there. I am 31 weeks and getting close. I have my doctor appointment on Friday and then start to go every 2 weeks. How time flies, Angie

Kaylee missed the bus

So, yesterday about 2:45pm Kaylee's school called me to tell me that Kaylee was in the office and had missed the bus. I had no idea of what to do, I had 7 daycare kids and Mary was working somewhere I didn't know where. I tried to call Mary on her cell but didn't get a hold of her. Luckily I had my friend Dawn's kids and she was planning on coming to get the boys around 3pm. SO I call ed her and she went to go get Kaylee at school. Kaylee didn't seem to be phased by the situation. The school said she wasn't upset or anything. From what we gathered she went potty and got her mitten wet washing her hands and was trying to dry it, which made her late and miss the bus. I guess an adult found her drying her mitten and tried to take her to the bus, found out it was gone, then took her to the office. Thank goodness someone found her and helped her. This all makes me a little nervous since I am not sure how I would have been able to go get her if this happens again. I don't have enough room in my mini van for everyone. Well I guess we will wait for next time to see what happens. Angie

Update Nov. 13th

So things have been crazy busy!! Our friends Dawn and Levi had their baby in early October and were up at Children’s for a couple of weeks. They have 2 older boys that have been here a few times. Eric is busy with work as always but even more now. ADC laid off about 190 people a few weeks ago, thank goodness Eric still has his job. Things are moving along with my pregnancy. I am having contractions but as for now they are not doing anything. I am just about 31 weeks. We are hoping that this little guy holds out till after the Holidays. My sister Katie came home for a long weekend in October, which was really good to see her and baby Belle. Kaylee is still having trouble adjusting to school. We have done good with her behavior but she is still wetting the bed at night. We are going to try to work on that this month. Mya is showing interest in potty training but just the first stages, She has gone in the potty a few times the past few weeks but I think it will be a long road for her yet. Cooper got a haircut and a check up, now he is all ready for winter. I have been working on getting Christmas shopping done and things ready for the baby. I know the next few months will fly by with all the Holidays. It was a beautiful night for Halloween and the girls had a great time. Well until next time. Angie

Halloween

October 7 th

It has been a busy couple of weeks as usual. We are all trying to adjust to Kaylee going to school all day every day. She has been having a hard time with the adjustment. She does really good at school, just when she gets home she has a hard time. Daycare has been hard also. I have been loosing kids because I am pregnant. I know it will be a hard time but we are really just going to buckle down and get through it. The pregnancy has been going good. My blood pressure has gone up to a more low/normal reading. I haven’t been having so many dizzy spells. I have started to have braxton hicks contractions though. So I have to slow down a little bit more and ask for more help with lifting and moving things. I am now 25 weeks pregnant. Eric’s biopsy results all came back great. No cancer. We did do a garage sale a couple weeks ago but are planning another one for this weekend. Hope we get rid of a lot. Mya is doing well, talking more and more each day.

A week of firsts

This week was a week of firsts. I had bowling on Tuesday night, it was our second night and we are starting to get into the groove of things again. Kaylee had her 1st night of dance for the season on Wednesday night. It was great to see all her friends. We rushed home to get ready for bed since Thursday was her 1st day of school. It was a busy night but we managed to get to bed early. We got up bright and early on Thursday and got ready for school. I took the day off to take her and pick her up. She was so excited and couldn't wait. She jumped right into the class room no problem. I was sad to see her go. I rushed to Mankato for my doctor appointment. Everything looks good and the ultrasound was good. He did change my due date to January 16th a week closer. We all can't wait to meet this little boy. I picked up Kaylee from school at 2:30pm and she was exhausted. We went home to relax for the night. Friday came and went and now this weekend is filled with getting the garage sale ready. Until next time. Angie

Ultrasound Day

Today we had our ultrasound. We had a full room, Eric, Kaylee, Mary, Mary Kay, Grandma Frederick and Barb. Everything looks good and I will find out more next week at my regular doctor appointment. Scroll down to chek out the gender. Angie

We are having a baby.......

Getting Ready

We had Eric’s regular cancer check at Mayo on Tuesday the 12th. Everything went pretty good. They did remove 4 spots to check. We should find out the results in a couple of weeks. We went camping this weekend out at my aunt and uncle’s camper. It was a nice weekend for it. Kaylee will be starting school soon and also dance. Mya is busy with all the kids at daycare and we are also going to put her in gymnastics to help with her PT. I will be starting bowling soon. We will be pretty busy this fall/winter. We had scheduled our ultrasound for the baby for August 28th. More to come, Angie

Hello again Big News

We have been pretty busy in the month of July. Kaylee turned 5 on the 2nd and we had a little birthday party for her on the 5th. Mya has been good she has not put anything more in her ears hopefully this phase is done and over. We had a great time on fourth of July at the parade, park and out to the lake. Daycare has been pretty busy. I have put an add in the paper to try to get a few more kids in but it looks like that there is not much of a need right now. Kate, Kyle and Annabelle made the trip to Minnesota on the 18th. It was great to see them again. We had Annabelle’s baptism on the 20th and were able to spend time with them. They then headed o Mississippi for a few days and then back home. I am sure they are exhausted. Eric and I will be leaving on Thursday to go out there for a wedding on August 2nd. We are looking forward to some time together. We also have some BIG news to share. We are expecting baby Moreau #3. The girls are so excited. My due date is January 23rd. Things have been really good this time around. We are hoping that this pregnancy is uneventful with no complications and so far so good. That’s it for now I will post pictures soon. Angie

Another scare

The other day Mya was pulling at her ear and telling me "owie" so I took a look and what do I see another ROCK. I called Eric and then called the ENT we scheduled and appointment to take a look and schedule for another surgery. I then called her regular doctor and we decided to get ahead of the game and come in that day for a pre-op just to get it done so we could try to have surgery asap. Once we got to her regular doctor that day the rock was gone. Magically fell out or something. So we had to call the ENT back and cancel the appointment. I had the nurses and receptionist laughing about this whole thing. We are keeping the pre -op on file just in case. We have been going to the pool as much as possible. The kids have been loving it. The weather has been nice and hot and great to get out. until next time.

Surgery went well

Ok well we did see the 2nd Doctor about Mya. He did a couple of tests and looked in her ears and we all decided that we did not need tubes at this time but we still would need surgery to remove the rock. We decided to go with this doctor instead of the 1st one. Surgery was on Thursday (12th). Mya did great she came out of the anesthesia and everything great. They did remove the rock and the piece of corn that was in there also; he also cleaned out both ears. We have been busy with getting back in to the swing of things but things are finally getting back to normal.

Surgery or Not!!

So Mya's 2 year check up went well, We had an appointment with the ENT on Monday and they caught me totally off guard. They want to put tubes in her ears and they didn't even remove the rock they said they will wait until surgery. I have been upset and not sure what to do. We do have her scheduled for surgery on Wednesday the 11th but also have decide to go and get a 2nd opinion. Mya has had 2 year infections in 2 years (which is not bad) we just have the problem of her sticking things in here ear. The doctor we saw only saw her this once for 5 minutes and no other doctor has commented about having fluid in her ears. So surgery or Not? I guess we will wait until we get the 2nd opinion and then make a decision. Angie

Mya's 2 year old check up

Yesterday I took Mya to her 2 year old check up and of course as I suspected Mya has a little pebble or rock in ear. So we will be heading back to the ENT specialist. We were there the 1st of the month for a bead in her ear. We are not sure what to really do about it but we are just trying to keep an eye on what she puts in her ears and watching for it to fall out.

Vacation!!

What a busy couple of weeks. My friend won 2nd place in her karaoke contest and we had a great time. We had Mya’s birthday party on the 17th of May. It was a big success. She was quite shy as usual but she had a great time. Sunday we had Kaylee’s dance recital. I think I was more nervous than she was (My baby is growing up so fast). Kaylee and I started to pack our bags. We left for my sister Katie’s house in DC on the 22nd. This was Kaylee’s first airplane ride and she was so excited to see her new little cousin Annabelle. It was a busy week and we had so much fun. We went to the National Zoo (met up with Kyle’s brother Ken and his friend Brook), shopping, lunches, and so much more. Kaylee went to the natural history museum with her uncle Kyle and Kyle’s brother Clark. They went on the Metro (subway), the butterfly exhibit, carousel ride and had so much fun. I think the boys were a little wore out from a 4 year old. We headed back home on Tuesday. It was good to get home and see Mya and Eric. Wednesday was back to daycare and routine.

Kaylee had her preschool graduation last night. She did such a great job and had such a great time. Tonight we have Dance rehearsal and Kaylee is looking forward to her recital. Mya's Birthday Party is this weekend. I ordered her cake last night and am getting so excited. Hopefully the weather will be nice this weekend. I am going to watch a friend tonight that is in the finals for a karaoke contest. It should be a fun time. We also have Kaylee's recital this weekend on Sunday. It will be a fun filled and busy weekend.

Kaylee's Preaschool Graduation

Busy month

Well it has been a busy month. Kaylee has been really busy learning her dance routines for her recital that is May 18th. Mya had 6 weeks of gymnastics and loved it. I think we will send both the girls this summer for one session. My sister Katie had her baby a girl on April 19th. We all are so excited. I was able to make a quick trip out there this past weekend. We had a great time and it was so fun just looking at baby Annabelle. Mya is being her little trouble self. She has this thing with sticking stuff in her ear or up her nose and on Thursday the day before I was leaving for DC we found a bead from a toy necklace in her ear. She ended up having to go to a specialist on Friday to have it removed. We had family pictures taken over Easter. Mya dose not like the camera but Kaylee is such a poser. Eric has now started softball for the season and bowling is done now. Kaylee will be done with dance at the end of May. We are hoping to get out this summer. Daycare is going good I have 3 kids plus a baby starting in June. I have a really good group. Today i decided to cut Kaylee's hair shorter. I took about 5 inches off. I think it will be great for the summer. Well that is about all for now. Until next time.

Clean house weekend

This weekend is cleaning house weekend. Eric did a great job on getting the garage cleaned out yesterday and fixed the driveway. Some of the gravel has been washed away with the snow. I did my job on going through closets, room and reorganizing a few spots in the house. Today as Eric and I got up we saw the girls playing make-up (pictures below) good thing it is all pretend make-up. We are going to be working on the basement today laundry room and spare bedroom. Hopefully we can get everything done. I also have a daycare interview today at 4pm so I really want to get everything done by then. Easter was a great weekend. Our town has an awesome Easter egg hunt that we have been going to for the past 4 years. They have each age group broken up and plenty of candy and things to go around. We dies Easter eggs and Mya dumped the orange dye all over her. She was stained orange for a few days. My grandma also does an Easter egg hunt at her house, so the girls got round 3 of Easter egg hunting. The girls were up at the crack of dawn wanting to Easter egg hunt and see what the Easter bunny brought them. We all have been busy with our activities. Eric had his last night of pool league on Wednesday and he will be starting summer softball soon. Mya has started Gymnastics to help with her physical therapy and it does seem to help. She goes with Eric so it is nice for them to have one on one time. Kaylee has dance through May and also has been doing swimming lessons that go through April. I am almost done with bowling it ends the end of April. This summer we are looking forward to a couple of vacations coming up. I am going to my sister's in DC the first weekend in May and then also going out the 3rd weekend in May along with Kaylee. This will be her first flight. She is so excited we have a count down on a calendar for her. We are all awaiting the arrival of Katie's baby. Eric and I also have a wedding out in Baltimore that we are looking at spending some time in DC as well. The summer is booking up fast.
Well now that everyone is caught up we will talk to you soon, Angie

Easter Egg Hunt in the Park

This weekend

This weekend was fun. Eric's sister and brother in law came up from Iowa. We took the kids out ice fishing and for a picnic. They had so much fun. I took Mya over to Great Clips for her 1st haircut. She was such a good girl. I was really surprise how well she actually did. Giving her the bangs really took the baby out of her but she really needed it. This week will be a busy week. Tonight I have a daycare interview @5:30 and then a daycare meeting @ 6:30. Tomorrow is bowling for me, Wednesday is Pool for Eric and dance for Kaylee. Thursday we have Kaylee's Kindergarten round up. I can't believe she is going to school next year. She is getting so big. Our weekend is full of birthday parties and events. Hopefully we will get some down time to get a few things done around the house. Angie
