Happy 6 months!(:

So today my lil man turns 6 months old(: Just thought I would share some pictures of how far along he has came in the past month! Sorry there is kind of a lot but a lot has happened this month(:

Here is Payton with Great Grandma, he had just turned five months.

And here he is with Great grandpa. We recently had to get him a convertible car seat, he was just so crammed in the infant one and almost hit the max height. He is fascinated by Grandpa and loves to listen to him talk.

Since we did away with the infant car seat we went ahead and bought him a tiny umbrella stroller. He likes this one much better, he can see everything thats going on and its so lightweight and easy to get in and out of the car. I don't believe I will be getting another travel system for the next baby it was just to much hassle. 

 He loves his tongue. He is constantly spitting and blowing bubbles at everyone. Its so cute.

Granny bought him a walker to play in while she watches him while I'm in class. He loves it but it will never be used for its intended purpose. Apparently now they expect babies to be 6 foot before learning to walk. Payton is very tall and still nowhere near touching the ground in this.

His biggest accomplishment of this month is learning to sit on his own. Every once in a while he will tip over, but he really has gotten the hang of it lately. I love how we can just set him down with his toys and he will entertain himself for at least thirty minutes. haha

Payton also has a new fascination with flowers. Every time we walk by the island he reaches out for my vase. he also apparently think they taste good..

Our next new trick of the month: Learning how to put our pasi in all by ourself! I love this one too!! I hated reaching around for it in the back seat while driving, now if its in reach he's got it. (he actually hates his pasi unless he's sleeping) but he loves swinging it around and hitting things with it.. lol

This is just a random pic Payton was just bouncing away sticking out his tongue. lol it was just a fun moment to capture..

Well I feel like he has developed so much in the past month I can't imagine whats coming next(: oh he also has his bottom two teeth but has NO interest in crawling yet haha. He hates being on his tummy but i still try to fit it in at least once a day..

Maybe he is a big boy(:

Ok so I never really seen how "big" Payton is.  People tell me on a daily basis "You sure do have a big boy" but I always reply with not really he's just tall. Well a few days ago I went over to a friends house, who has a little boy who will be turning a year old next month. Her little boy is only two pounds heavier than Payton and is the SAME height lol. For once I actually noticed how "big" my baby is..

Here is a picture of the two standing next to each other. It is hard to tell but obviously Payton can't stand up on his own so Chad had to try to keep his straight, he's a squirmy one haha

 This was also Payton's first time to really be around another baby and actually realize it. He had so much fun. I am thinking it might be ok to start putting him in the nursery at church just to get some kid time(:

Start from Scratch!

Ok so I am going to start posting again and act like I never stopped. I know I have missed A LOT in the past six months but bare with me. So last you heard I was 38 weeks pregnant. Well Payton arrived two days early on October 20, 2011. He weighed 9lbs exactly and was 21 in long. The past 6 months have flown by. I can't believe our little pumpkin will be six months on Friday. Here are our latest pictures from Easter. Payton now weighs 19.3 lbs and is 30 in long!(:

Chad wanted to match Payton but it was So hard to find a tie the same design so he settled for something he already had..

This was at Meme and Pappys (my parents) house. My mom got him a little basket with a few toys. I was surprised he actually started digging through it like he knew what he was doing!

He also got a bask From Grandma and Grandpa (Chad's Parents) but I didn't have my camera around to take any pictures:(

Ok so I am definitely going to try to start taking more pictures of our little guy and posting them!!

Only 2 and a half weeks two go!

Ahh. I'm officially off bed rest! Went to the dr this morning and things are progressing well. He said I have thinned but not dilated much. But Payton has dropped and he could feel his head so most likely won't be much longer!(: Other than that not much has changed around here. I have everything ready for the baby so it's mostly a waiting game... NOT FUN! lol

And this is what I look like at 37 weeks pregnant (gained 50+ lbs now!) Scared to see how much more I gain in the next 2 weeks...

Bed rest..

Oh how everything is sinking in..here is what the last 2 weeks has been like in the Sims house.

*We had our baby shower last weekend and my Aunt Peppy did an awesome job! We received so many gifts it took 3 trips with the suv to get them home. I just got done last night finishing up organizing things washing cloths ect. I am soo thankful for everyone who came and sent things I'm sure were set for at least a month lol.

* Tuesday night Chad took me to the hospital around 7 pm I was having contractions timing them about every 3 minutes. We went to the track and I tried walking them off (thinking they were just braxton hicks) but when they just turned much worse Chad decided we needed to get checked out. When I got to the hospital they hooked me all up and saw I was having hard contractions every three minutes. The nurse checked and I wasn't dilated at all. (That was very disappointing). She then tried to see what was causing them/how to stop them. She checked for a bladder infection, made sure I was hydrated, turned me over every so often, ect. After 6 hrs of no change She called the dr on call and he ordered shots to make them stop. Unfortunately, the shots made me VERY jittery and I could barely walk. Therefor I didn't get any sleep that night after getting home around midnight.

*Yesterday, We had a dr appt at 2:45. I immediately told Dr. Rising about our trip to the hospital and he became concerned. He said even though the baby would be fine being born at 36 weeks he would like to get me through another week or so. He also was not happy about not being notified because he wouldn't have arranged for the shots. (I was kinda upset about that too) He put me on bed rest for the next week and a half until my next appt on the 3rd. Chad is doing an amazing job. He is waiting on me hand and foot and I feel so horrible. I hate not doing things for myself. But I am lucky to have him. Unfortunately I'm on day two of bed rest and I think I have hit my nesting stage because I have had the urge to get everything done today. But of course I can't get much done because I can't leave the house. Hopefully Payton gives me atleast a week after I get off bed rest so I can finish my list if things to do that I made today. Let's just say it's going to be a longggg week!!!

I also have gained quiet a few more lbs but I am lagging on taking pictures.. I have gained a total of 50 lbs!! I am so ready to have my figure back!! ( I almost forgot what I used to look like:/)

34 Weeks and counting!

Well I have hit 34 weeks! Its so nice to know I'm getting close! Only 6 more weeks and I am so ready. Nothing really new has happened in this past week. Chad is way busy between school and work, so I pretty much try and keep myself busy with odd and end projects. We did take maternity pictures and they turned out great!

Anyways, Thats all thats new around here. Baby shower next weekend and I honestly don't think I could be more excited!!!!(:

A Healthy Baby Boy

Well I am almost 33 weeks now so only a few more to go! Chad and I went to sneak a peak yesterday and got a 3d/4d sonogram of Baby Payton. It was WELL worth the money.. He looked so adorable and the first thing the nurse said is, "wow your going to have a big baby!" Haha not really what I wanted to hear but at least he's healthy. From what she said he should be weighing in about 3.75-4 lbs, well he is already 5 1/2 lbs!! She also said he has a big head (which he definitely gets from his daddy lol). Funny thing is Chad's dad has swore from day one that my due date is off and that he is going to come sooner than we think..after showing him the sonogram yesterday he only swears by it more!! But I guess we'll see(:

 Sticking out his tongue(:

 He seems to suck his thumb A LOT. lol

 He was sleepy.. I woke him up when we got there.

aww sweet baby boy(:

As far as anything else, Nothing exciting is really going on at this point. I finally found my baby shower dress this past weekend. Now I just have to pray I don't gain a whole lot more weight, because then I won't fit in it. I still have 2 1/2 weeks til the shower so I guess we will see!

As far as how I've been.. My back is killing me, I feel like I'm going to pop any day now, and It is extremely hot around here which results in me being very uncomfortable all the time lol.. I think its stayed around 110 mostly these past few weeks.. I Hate IT! Luckily we have a small tropical storm sliding in this weekend which will give us some rain and cool weather..
