Not Yet but enough excitement!

Trey was cheering for the loud fireworks

These two can sleep anywhere anytime.
I am hoping Kade is as good
of a sleeper as Brielle and Cam
Cam was a good sport to light the fireworks

because no one else wanted to
Eric was really enjoying himself
Bryson and Brielle loved running around the fireworks

Our fourth of July wasn't very exciting because all I really wanted to do was have a baby. We went to Pizza Factory with Eric and drove down town to attempt the fun activities they had which looked like a lot of fun but with sparatic contractions and the heat I wasn't really up to it and Cam and Eric convinced me and the kids that we should do our fireworks at home and go to the roadrunner (independent baseball league here in st george) game tomorrow night because they were doing their fireworks then so we drove back home and did our own fireworks-which the kids love to do more than just watching big ones in the air. I think it lasted 10 min. We then watched Vantage Point. I thought it was a pretty good show. My favorite movies are suspense movies. We went to the baseball game the next night with Maryann, Clayton and Jayni and Eric. the fireworks after were worth sitting through probably their longest 4 hr game. They started the fireworks at 11 but they were pretty cool. The kids love the baseball games and I have never had fireworks so close over my head before. Plus they serve 25th Main cupcakes and snow cones. There was a nice breeze and they have misters that helped keep us cool. Cam was hoping I would go into labor late saturday night or early sunday morning (he could get out of conducting) so he was feeding me Castor Oil and it did nothing to me either way. I ended up taking an entire bottle over the week. still nothing. I am still one week early. I had another appointment on monday-it wasn't that bad. I had progressed to a three and last night I really thought baby Kade was coming. We did the full stop sign that morning. this entire pregnancy my goal was to keep doing the stop sign (parts of it) as long as I could and I did want to do the full thing (9.5 miles) at least once in my last month and I hadn't done it yet so when I couldn't sleep monday morning at 5 I decided to go into the spa to see the guests off on their hike and have Cam meet me with the kids at 6:30 to do the full thing. We had quite a bit of shade and it wasn't too hot because we started early. I was very tempted to get a ride down in the spa vans but we had time and walked all the way back down and did the full thing. i was limping quite a bit the last mile because of my hips but over all it was not bad because we did it pretty slow. when I am not pregnant it usually takes us 1 1/2 hrs. It took us 3 hrs. I was trying to hurry the last mile because I didn't know what time it was and I had to go lecture. anyway I thought I was going to go in last night but fell asleep and woke up to no more contractions. I did test positive for the strep B (i think that is what it is) virus and the doctor said I need to be on the antibiotic for at least 4 hrs before the baby is born so now I think I have had my excitement. I haven't been induced with any of my other kids because I enjoy the excitement of going into labor on my own but now I don't want to go too fast and not have the antibiotic for 4 hrs because I feel like when I go with this one I will probably go pretty quick. Can you tell I think things through way too much-it drives Cam CRAZY! I think the waiting is harder for him. Long story short, I am scheduled to be induced on thursday so the excitement ends. It is a little wierd to choose his birthday. i guess he could still come tomorrow but if not, thursday will be the day. there is a little excitement knowing that. Our splash pad, putting green and fake grass should be in this weekend so the timing works out pretty good. Lauralee comes on thursday with her kids and my mom will come on sunday. I am very anxious to have my energy and mobility back. I just hope I can be patient enough to take it easy after if I have to. I am hoping to be able to bounce right back but know that things aren't always that easy with nursing and a newborn. I am way excited to see what this little boy looks like because Trey was Bryson all over again (only his looks). I am also very excited for another fun personality to join our family. I really love this time in our life-even though very crazy and more often than not my patience is tried. I know I will wish I enjoyed it more because they are growing so fast! I was so glad we were at church on sunday for Cam to conduct. i was very touched by his testimony. He was talking about what "life" is all about. He mentioned how to some it is all about "worldly" things and others it's about family and the gospel and he mentioned that everyday we have opportunities and it is what we do with those opportunities that matters. He talked about how Bryson begs all day to play catch or golf and how it is so important for him to take the time to do so. Brielle loves to just be with Dad-everytime he is going anywhere she is the first to beg to go. I loved when he started to talk about Trey because for as short of an attention span that he has he stood right up looked directly at Cam and had the biggest smile when he was speaking about him. It was crazy because he didn't even say his name he just knew he was talking about him when he said he has a son that everytime he calls home he wants to talk to Dad. that is what life is all about. I am so grateful for Cameron. He really helps me try and take the time to enjoy the moments that really do matter and spend time together as a family with eachother and with our kids. I love to be with him. Well I hope to not be in the hospital too long (the rooms are so small) so we should have a new member of our family we can start to add to the Kelsch Blog on our next post. How exciting-until then.
