Took some pics today; I am having way too much fun playing dress up. I guess that's what happens when you are bored at home all day! It sure beats cleaning.

Just some pics

Just wanted to post some pics...Lyla has her cute little leggings on and cache has to have a bow put on when I put one on lyla.

Lyla Dae Kim

Lyla was born Friday New Years Day at 5:19 am. She weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and 21 inches long. After only two hours of labor (only 15 minutes of pushing) she was announced as the first baby born in the New Year at Mercy Hospital. We may have not gotten her in 2009 for the tax benefits but we got some pretty cool presents from the hospital. No complications and we are trying to adjust to the real world. Cache loves having her around and has done so well.

No Baby

Just thought I would post that there has still been no baby. She is taking he sweet time...hopefully one of these days!

Merry Christmas

Well I thought I should hurry and post our Christmas pics before the baby comes and I ignore the world for a little while. Just a side note...no I have not had the baby yet and have no signs of her coming other than my due date is in a few days. Hopefully she will decide to join us soon. Anyway, we had a fun holiday this year even though I felt so tired the entire time. My parents are in town for Christmas and we spent Christmas Eve at my aunts house with lots of family; cache had a blast with all the kids. We were awoken early Christmas morning with cache calling out to everyone that he was ready to open his presents. Dave and I bought him a miniature trampoline. It is perfect because he can get on and off by himself and I don't have to worry about him falling off or getting hurt. We have been just hanging out the rest of the time...unfortunately we all got sick with a cold and cough but hopefully it is almost done running its course. I am so worried about having a baby at this time of the year; I hope she stays healthy and we don't have any problems. Well, that has been our Christmas in a nutshell. Hopefully we will get the new addition to our family in the next couple of days. Happy Holidays! (PS sorry all the pics are out of order.)

What would you do...?

Last night was a traumatic night for me. I decided to go get my nails done and do a little shopping while dave stayed at home and put cache to bed. I was heading home around 9 and decided to stop at the Mcdonalds on Gilbert and Germann. While I was in the drive thru I looked out the window and there was a truck in the sears parking lot and I saw an older man pushing a younger (like in her early twenties) into the truck and slam the door. He started walking to the driver seat and I see her open the door as he runs back over and shoves her back into the car and slams the door again. Have you ever watched those 20/20 or datelines that interview the girls getting kidnapped in broad daylight in very public areas and no one did anything to help them? I always watched those and vowed to never be one of the onlookers that just stare and say oh well, must be domestic or whatever. But I have to say when in that situation I sat there dumbfounded not really knowing what to do. I wanted to drive by the car and get the license plate number but there were cars blocking me in the drive thru and I couldn't understand why no one else was concerned. So after the man pushed the girl in the car the second time he just stood at her door yelling at her to stay in the car...lotsa cuss words...and she opened the door again yelling for help which at that point I began to dial 911. I then saw she ran out of the car to the nearby restaurant and the man took off. I hung up the phone because I saw another lady standing at the restaurant on the phone telling the girl to get inside. The police called my phone back and I gave them a description of what was going on and they did say the other lady at the restaurant had also called and reported it. After the entire incident was over I think it looked like a dispute between a parent and child because of the way it was played out, but it made me think...why did I wait so long to call the police and why were there so many people around and yet only one lady was walking towards the car? Should we really all mind our own business? What if that was you? What if no one helped you and you were taken. All I can say was that was a little too emotional of a night for a 9 1/2 month pregnant woman. I cried all the way home to a very concerned husband.

So, basically November...

Wow it is the end of the month and I am that much closer to having this baby. I am so very ready to pop this one out. This month in November I am no longer really sleeping very well, am usually in pain, have lotsa heartburn, and have had my patience and sanity pushed to my limit with an unamed 2 year old. However, November has also brought family, friends, parties, and my favorite...a finished baby room. Whoopie!!! My family (except for Clayton and Tiaunna) came out for Thanksgiving. I wish we could live by all of our family so we could see eachother more often. We all had a blast and Cache like always loves the attention he gets. Grandpa never even complained about being woken up each morning between 6:30 and 7 to cache staring at him waiting for him to wake up. He always seemed to be the one who cache chose to visit first each morning. My mom and sister in law Annie threw me a baby shower which looked super cute and we had a bunch of fun games that I think everyone really enjoyed. I am so thankful for my family and friends, it really means a lot to me that they have taken the time to support me. I cannot even begin to thank my mom who has done so much for me while here in AZ, she helped me make everything for my baby room, put up with my emotional meltdowns these past few weeks, helped me with cache, and helped throw me a baby shower. I couldn't ask for a better mom. I love this time of the year because you get to constantly be reminded of the things you are thankful for and the people in your life who are so important.

The food at the shower was delicious...lots of yummy treats and crepes made my uncle who is a great baker.
