GOULDING UPDATE

I know it's been a while since i've posted. I have a good excuse. My camera broke so I had to send it in to get fixed. Anyway, we are now in Utah getting ready to have little baby sister. Kaia is going through a little bit of an adjustment period and the baby isn't even here yet. I'm a little concerned. She's been going through a little fit throwing stage. It started out with her shaking her finger and saying "NO, NO!" and then proceeding to do whatever it is that she knows she shouldn't.

Now, she's throwing full blown fits. She bangs her head on the floor, or cabinet, or whatever else is close to her and then screams "OOOOOWWWW" She has a permanent bruise on her forehead. So we pulled out the time out chair yesterday and so far she's been on it about 15 times.

I feel kind of bad because she knows things are about to change and she is not very happy about it. She used to talk about the baby and lay her head on my belly and rub it, but now she doesn't want anything to do with it. Everytime we bring up the baby she either ignores us, gives us a dirty look and tells us that she's the baby, or starts to cry.

Besides all of the fit throwing, we've had fun at grandma's house. She is as happy as ever as long as we're playing outside or she has a ball. She's obsessed. We can't get her to play with anything else. She walks around the house all day carrying as many balls as she can possibly fit into her arms.

We took her outside and let her ride the lamb. It was funny. The lamb is terrified of her for some reason.

My wonderful friends threw me a baby shower the other day. They are so wonderful. Lana and Toni drove down from Provo and suprised me. I was so happy, I wanted to kiss their little faces off.
When I went to my doctor's appoiontment last wednesday I was dialated to a 4. I hadn't been in a hurry to have this baby until I heard that. Last time I was having contractions for like 2 days but I wasn't dialated to a 4 yet, so they wouldn't admit me to the hospital. This time I'm at a 4 and I'm not having any stinkin' contractions. BRING ON THE PAIN! Oh well, I know I still have 2 1/2 weeks.
