Sorry this is kind of long.......
This past week has been a pretty fun week! Last Thursday Cody, Bonnie, Terry, Eleanor, Bret, Austin, Jordyn & myself went to the Dinosaur museaum in Fruita. While the boys loved the dinosaurs and all the noise, Jordyn wasn't to thrilled. She cried a couple of times & wouldn't go near a lot of the dinosaurs. Some of the exhibits were ok, but for the most part it just wasn't her cup of tea. She did say that the next time we go back, she won't be so scared!
After the dinosaurs we all went to Chuck E Cheeses for a late lunch. The kids loved it! We were there for about 2 1/2 hours playing just about every game there is to play. Jordyn has wanted to go there for such a long time, so it was about time we went! It just happens to be at the mall in Grand Junction, so after dinner the 3 of us did a little school shopping for Jordyn. It was a fun day out with the family!
We've been going to the park pretty much every afternoon with the boys. Jordyn & Bret have had their little fights, but for the most part they've enjoyed playing at the park with each other. Everytime they would see each other they would give hugs & before they left each day they would give each other hugs again. This picture was taken the last day they were in Paonia before heading back to Virginia. I've shown Jordyn on a map where she lives and where Bret & Austin live. She says that is pretty far! She's a little sad that he had to go back home, but they said maybe they would be coming back for Christmas or for sure next Summer! Hopefully they can stay close even though they live so far away.
Tuesday we went into Delta Hospital & took a tour of Labor & Delivery. With Jordyn I didn't need to do that since I was so comfortable with Dixe Regional Hospital. Since my dad has worked there forever and I worked and volunteered there for several years I just knew what it was like. Here I had absolutely no clue! It is going to be super nice. The rooms are more like suites. It has a huge jacuzzi tub that I can sit in while laboring to help with pain & progression. The oxygen & hoses are all hidden behind a huge picture that slides up when needed. The procedure lights are recessed. It just seems more like a Birthing Center than a Hospital room. After I have the baby I won't have to transfer to another room. I'll stay in that room the entire time I'm there. The unit is very secure. The bands they put on the baby after deliverey will set off an alarm if tampered with or if the baby is taken out of the unit. It's very comfortable there! I'm pretty excited about delivering there now. Jordyn was a bit upset about seeing the room. I'm not sure if it brought back memories of her surgery or what, she didn't really say. Now she says it s a pretty ok room!
In May, while Cody was already here in Colorado, we had started to think of a couple of names for the baby. One day I received a text from Cody saying that if it were a girl he liked a certain name. I thought, Ok let's put that at the top of the list & see how things go. Once we found out we were for sure having a girl we kept thinking of other names. Some we liked, some we laughed at, some we just said "Um No!"
Of the 3 names that we never did kick off the list we finally narrowed it down to 1! We've decided to name her Aspyn Raelyn Survis! I've always wanted the name Aspyn for a girl & that's the one Cody wanted in May. Ralyn is a combination of mine & Cody's middle names. It's fun having a name for her before she's actually here!!
Our next appointment is on Monday. I'm excited to check on our progress & ask the Dr a few questions that have come up. I sometimes think that having a second baby is actually harder on the body than the 1st one. I've had more round ligament pain with this one and my pubic bone feels like it could just break in half somedays, especially after we go for our nightly walks around town. All normal I'm sure!!
