It's done

Madison's room is done! Chad finished painting it this morning and I finished decorating it while she was at school this afternoon. She was so surprised when she got home and saw it! It looks great and Chad did an awesome job!

What a week

I have to start by saying I have a great hubby, he really stepped up this week when I needed him the most! I have been fighting a sinus infection for over a month, I feel bad for a few days, then I start to feel better...then it seems to hit again. Tuesday morning I woke up with a headache....not a great way to start the day, by Tuesday evening it hurt so bad above my right eye I wouldn't keep my eyes open. Maddy has swimming lessons on Tuesday nights, so luckily Chad took her, T & I hung out at home. I didn't get much sleep that night, either did Chad. He called the on-call doctor around 11, to see what I could take to make me feel better. I was told to take some Suddafed, and call back in an hr if it didn't help, then they would want to see me. I ended up sleeping for a few hrs, but by 5, it was hurting again, Chad was threatening to take me to the ER, but I wanted to wait for the doctors office to open. Chad ended up staying home from work to take care of me and help with the kids. I called all the daycare parents and told them that I was taking the day off. I think I slept till it was time for my doctors appointment. Rose came over to stay with the kids, & off to the doctor we went. They ended up putting me on an antibiotic, and told me if I wasn't feeling any better in the next few days they would want me on a steroid also. But I'm happy to say I'm starting to feel much better! Now I have to get caught up on housework and laundry! I'm also hoping to get Chad to start working on Mads room....9 more weeks till we get to meet our baby boy!!!! I go back to the doctor next week for my 32 wk appointment, I hope to update then, but no promises there, next week is going to be a CRAZY busy week for the Kleins!

Projects

Well Chad has been busy painting lately. We decided it was time for us to invest in a new dining room table, so while we were waiting for the new one, Chad opened his mouth and said he needed a project....bad idea:-) He painted the dining room, and then last night we picked up our new table. Our dining room looks awesome! We are still waiting on the bench, we should have it in 2-3 weeks, we will be able to set 6 at our new counter height table...which we will be nice!

Tanner's room was the next. Bye bye yellow girlish room, hello Cardinals room! Chad did a great job, T says his room is awesome! It looks so much better. He also got a new mattress and box spring. We found some new stuff to hang on the walls, I can't wait to get the crib set up, but Maddy's room is next to get painted, so her bed will be moved to T's room for a few days.

Ready for bed in his new bed and new room!

Madison helped me pick the colors for her room. She is going to have a lime green wall, then the rest are going to be pink with a lime green stripe. She didn't want a baby room, so now with the lamp she picked out, her room is going to glow! I'm hoping we can get her bed moved to T's room tonight, so we can start prepping her room tomorrow night. It is going to take a few days to paint her room, so I am anxious for Chad to get started!

After her room is done, then we will only have the living room and hallway left. When all the painting is done, then we will be ready to finish getting things ready for the baby! We have 9 weeks left & I still have some stuff to get ready and more stuff to buy! Can't wait!!

It's A.....

I had my 28 week check-up yesterday, and I was there longer than planned, but all is well, & we got some exciting news. I went in for my glucose test and while there the doctor was doing the routine check, & while she was measuring me, she thought I was measuring big...so she ordered another ultrasound. And I asked if they could tell the sex of the baby, to please let me know, & the tech saw and told the doctor. When I went back in to the room to talk to the doctor, she told me that we could be having a big baby BOY! I am 28 weeks and I'm measuring at 32 weeks, but the baby is already 2 lbs 9 oz according to the ultrasound, so we could be having a large baby. Tanner was almost 9 lbs, but everything looks well, he's just a healthy, growing boy. I go back in 2 weeks again, so I will let you know how that appointment goes!

Baby Update

Last Thursday I was able to venture out to my 26 week check-up, the roads were horrible from the Blizzard, but I made it. The babies heartbeat was 146, and everything is going well with the pregnancy. I do go back next Friday for my glucose test, then I will start going every 2 weeks. When the doctor told me that, that's when it hit me that we will be have a new addition to our family in 13 weeks! Ugh!!! That doesn't sound too far off anymore!

I did schedule an ultrasound in Davenport for later this month, we are taking the kids up with us and are going to spend the day in the Quad Cities. It should be a fun day and I hope the baby cooperates, so we can start getting the things we need. I will continue to keep you all posted....until next time...

Illness and Snow

Illness:

What a week it has been already..I'm exhausted! Last Friday night Tanner kept having bad dreams, he was up at least 4 different times. In one of his dreams, Madison threw him in the trash! They have been off the wall dreams and he usually wakes up screaming..I hope he outgrows this soon. Then Saturday night, Madison started running a fever, so I had a camp out in the living room with the kids. She continued running a fever all day Sunday, & then I started feeling like I was getting a sinus infection, so luckily Chad and Tanner took care of us all day. I took her to the doctor Monday, & she was put on some meds, but she still isn't feeling 100% and neither am I. This morning Tanner woke up and was acting like he didn't feel well, he has been crabby all day...hoping we all start feeling better soon!

This is what we woke up too this morning. Chad and the neighbor had cleared our sidewalks 2 different times last night, & you couldn't tell that they had done any of it this morning.

Snow:

Yesterday the snow started....we ended up getting 14 inches. I don't ever remember getting 14 inches at one time! The wind was also really strong, so we ended up with some big snow drifts! Chad spent most of the day using the snow blower to clear all the sidewalks at our house and he also helped lots of our family members dig out also. He is very sore from working so hard. The plows haven't cleared all the side streets yet, so we might have to dig out my van and his work car again. School was cancelled today and has already been cancelled for tomorrow. Alexa and Zach came home with Chad, who went out to their house to snow blow. My dad is still mending from his knee replacement, so Chad went out to help dig their cars out. He also got my dad's big snow blower started, so he brought it home to clean our parking spots. While Ali and Zach were over for the afternoon, we took the kids out in the snow for just a few minutes. They had fun, but we didn't stay out too long. When Chad was done trying to dig our cars out, we loaded up in the truck and headed for my parents. Ali and Zach came back home with us since school has been cancelled for tomorrow. I am hoping the plow doesn't block us back in too bad when they go by later tonight or tomorrow!

Madison with Aunt Ali ready to climb the mountains of snow!

Tanner ready to play in the snow....too bad the snow piles and drifts were taller than him in some places!

Chad hard at work!

Tanner told me he was going to get my car out for me...he is such a sweet boy!

I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for tomorrow, I am only going to have 1 daycare kiddo, so if I can get out and I'm feeling better, I might try to go. So I will try to update after my appointment.

Update

Thought I would update about the hit and run situation. Looks like Chad and I will be out $100 for the accident. Chad talked to the cop Wednesday & he couldn't track the lady down, he tried some different addresses, but didn't have any luck. I think we should tell him to try facebook, I have 6 mutual friends with her, but I'm sure since she took off she doesn't have insurance. I also feel like if you leave the accident scene either on a private or public property, you should get a ticket! It's time for people to step up and be responsible! Ok well here's to hoping Chad will get my van fixed soon after the part gets ordered and delivered.
