IS SHE GOING TO COME BEFORE HER DUE DATE?

So my due date is the 12th of this month like 3 more days! I'm dilated to a 2-3 and my contractions have been getting closer in the past couple of days. I've been nesting like crazy and have been getting cravings like none other which didn't happen to me when I was pregnant with Takoma so I've been baking a ton of cookies and eating them like crazy I do give most of them to the neighbors though. Cameron has been gone since Sunday afternoon for an OSHA class and wont be getting back till tonight so hopefully our little baby will stay in till he gets back. I'm so looking forward to seeing our little girl and I'm way excited for Takoma to have a baby sister! Poor Takoma has had this bad cough for the last 3-4 days. I just hate seeing her sick because she's not her fun self. She always looks sad and tired. We've also been doing a lot of cuddling and I love that but I sure hope she gets filling better soon. Hope everyone is doing well!!!!

A LITTLE UPDATE

So I will have two weeks left this Sunday and then we will see our beautiful baby girl!!! I'm so excited to see her and see what she looks like. I'm also so so so excited to not be pregnant anymore!!!! Cameron and I have decided that we are going to take a long break after this pregnancy( like 3 to 4 yrs) we are definitely going to do birth control this time.LOL. Also I'm planning on going back to school in the fall to get my associates and that will take about 2 to 2 1/2 years.
We were so blessed at the beginning of this month!!! Cameron had applied for a Safety Manager position and got it at the beginning of this month!! He was so excited cause this is what he's getting his degree in (emergency management) I'm so proud of him and for all his hard work. He had been turned down many times for other jobs that he had applied for but obviously was not meant for them he was meant to have this job and we are so grateful for that. I love my husband so much and am so grateful for what he does for our family he is my best friend and I just love him!!!!
We are leaving for Grand Junction tomorrow morning for Thanksgiving and coming home on Friday so please please please everyone cross your fingers that I don't go into labor during the next two days.LOL I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and if you are traveling I hope the roads are good for you. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!!

Going to the Zoo

Last Saturday was a blast!!! Cameron, Takoma, Me and our best friends Frans, Bridget, and Marley went to Hoolgle Zoo. We also had Frans's parents and another of their sons and his wife come too!!! We love this family so much and it was so good to see them again. Frans is in the Air Force and just graduated from his training/school in Mississippi. They were over there for nine months and they got to come back to Utah to visit family and friends for three weeks then they're getting stationed to can you believe it HAWAII FOR 3 YEARS!!!! How awesome is that! I'm so happy we got to see them before they go because we don't know when we're going to see them next. Takoma and Marley loved the zoo and they loved playing with each other. They are going to be the best of friends. Takoma called everything dog or doggy and she would also say "oh" to everything it was super cute. Bridget, Marley, Takoma and I got to ride the merry-go-round and our girls loved it. I wish we could have gone more than once. That night Frans's parents watch Marley and Takoma so we four adults could go eat dinner together. So we had an amazing time until we went to our hotel. So I don't like to complain but this was ridiculous! So we get to our hotel about 11:30 to midnight and we put Takoma to bed in the pull out couch next to the window. Well there was this street lamp right under our window and our whole room was lit up so we tried to close the curtains but guess what, they don't close so we had to sleep in a bright room Takoma did not fall asleep till almost 1:30 in the MORNING! Then around 2:00a.m Cameron woke up dieing of heat so he goes to turn on the air conditioning and that doesn't work so we had to open the window and listen to all the cars drive by since this place is next to the highway then I woke up just after that because I was having really bad acid reflex and it got so bad that I was throwing up for about an hour. Yuck. So none of us got any sleep that night and this hotel was only one year old!!! I'm just glad we got it for free. Sunday morning we slept in and went to Frans parents house to hang out with everyone again and then we left for home around 2:00p.m. But we had so much fun hanging out with everyone thank you so much for a wonderful time and hopefully we'll see you guys again!!!

weird face!LOL

30 WEEKS ALREADY!!!!!

30 weeks already YaY!!! I'm so happy to almost be done with being pregnant. So an update about my two girls. Takoma is now 14 months will be 15 at the end of this month(weird) and she is walking everywhere and learning how to run. I love that she can walk so now I don't have to carry her anymore. I was so nervous that I would have to carry two babies in the winter but not anymore. Takoma can say a few words now (daddy, ma ma, dog or doggy, what's that, uh oh, grrr for tigger) she can climb on the couches and get off all by her self which is nice too. I love this stage she is such a fun and cute girl and I can't wait for her to see her sister. Takoma loves babies and loves to give them kisses and hugs. Cameron and I have decided to name our to be little girl Mckinnley Raygen Ruppe. We had a 3D ultra sound yesterday and it was pretty cool only Mckinnley wouldn't hold still and she wouldn't let us see her whole face. I guess she likes to put her hand against her face. Also the placenta and the cord were in the way but at least we got to see half of her face. I can't wait to see her in person and what she looks like. Hope everything is going well for everyone.

she's sucking on her hand how cute

September

Okay so in September we went camping twice with my side of the family but we didn't stay up the night because I wanted to sleep in my bed especially since I'm in my third trimester. I have to sleep in a comfortable bed or I will regret it the next morning. We went camping during the holiday and it's starting to become a 2nd family reunion. We have one every year in June and then the last few years we've been doing a camping one up here. But anyways I only got one pic from that whole weekend I was really bad and the second time we went camping I didn't get any SUPPER BAD. The second one was with my dad, older bro, younger bro, my sis, aunt and uncle with their kids, my grandparents and my grandma's brother and his wife from Germany came here to visit for three weeks. They have never camped like this before where you go in the mountains and park your trailer and have a lot of open space and can watch the deer run around. They also got to ride four wheelers for the first time too and they had a blast!! It was so cool to meet them and hang out with them.

This is my grandma's brother and his wife. Takoma loved playing with them.

Takoma loves being outside and running around in the grass




Takoma would not leave my grandma's flowers alone she loves picking, smelling, and eating them.

My wonderful grandma on the left and her lovely sister-in-law on the right. Whenever Takoma gets fussy grandma takes her on the swing and Takoma is in heaven. Grandmas always know what to do when it comes to making babies happy.



Takoma will grab my string thing that holds my pants on my waist and likes to tickle her face with it.

Happy Girl

Funny face

Eating luck charms and she eats the marsh mellows first then the cereal

Sharing with daddy

Camping and she loved it

This is the first time she had Mac and Cheese

Takoma's 1st Birthday

I can't believe my baby Takoma is a year old!!! She went from this......

...To this!!

this is the morning of her birthday.

Takoma turned one on the 29th of July. Her birthday was on a weekday so we couldn't have a party for her till that weekend but that evening when Cameron came home from work we all went out and got ice cream at that new place by Gandolfos and it was delicious!!! Takoma loved it!

On Saturday we had a little birthday party for her and it was a blast. I don't think Takoma wasn't getting the whole opening your presents thing so we got to do that but she loved all of her gifts. Thanks everyone for coming we had so much fun.

Takoma loved her cake!!!!

Our messy GIRL!

It was to hard to wipe her off so we gave up and just put her in the tub.LOL

After the party we went to the fair at western park but we didn't stay long it was way to hot!!

We don't have very many pictures of us together so we thought we should do some today.

Takoma saying hi to us. Way cute!

It was a way fun day but we were totally exhausted that night.

Happy Birthday Takoma Aria Ruppe we sure love you!!!!!

GIRL!!!!!

So today I went to get my second ultra sound to make sure that we're having a girl and it's official we totally are!! This time our baby girl was holding still and she was not shy at all to show her parts. I'm so excited to have another girl and I think Takoma will love having a sister especially one that's close in age. So far Cameron and I really love the name Brynnen and I think we're going to stick with it(I hope so I really love this name). We still haven't picked out a middle name yet but we've got time. Hope all is well.

BOY OR GIRL?

So we went to go get an ultra sound and everything looks good. The baby looks healthy which is the most important thing but our baby was way to active and doing flips the whole time so we weren't able to get an excellent look at what we're having but the radiologist said it looks like we're having a girl(AWESOME!) but just to be certain I'm going back in two weeks to make it official. I'm kind of bummed that we're not 100% sure but what can you do. In the first pic one of the baby's hand is by its forehead and the other hand is trying to get in it's mouth. Cute!
