Kaida Lyn Snowder

Kaida was born Tuesday March 23rd at 1:40pm. Weighing in at 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She has lots of dark blonde hair and olive skin. She is sooooo good. She slept all through the night. Freaked me out cause I wanted to feed her. Here is one picture. I will post a slide show later.

Last Dr Appointment

Today is such a good day. I had my last Dr appointment. I am dialated to a 3, 50% effaced and I lost weight!! How great is that. And the sun is shinning. I actually have motivation to get things done (gotta love nesting). And I am loving having a new car (2008 Toyota Highlander). Yep this is going to be a great week! (I am Mrs. Positivity right now. That might change if I go into labor in the middle of the night) My next post will be pictures of my beautiful little girl (as long as the ultrasound was correct). Good-bye for now.

36 week update

My doctor told me she would enduce me on the 23rd. Yeah!!!! (I knew this 2 weeks ago but I was too lazy to post it) I can't wait to have Kaida join us. Ridlee is getting excited too which is really cute.

First Haircut

Ridlee got her first haircut today. Before we left the house I told her Aunt Tangi was going to get scissors and cut her hair. She started crying and yelled "No she's not." Once we got to the salon she did great. She sat so well in the chair and was happy the whole time. (It might have something to do with the fact that she ate candy the whole time)

30 week update

Our baby girl is doing well. She acts like she wants to get out of my belly. She moves so much and scraps her arms and legs against my belly. It's fun to watch my stomach jump and move. Ridlee is excited about the baby. She will ask to see her sister. When anyone asks what is your baby sister's name she will say Kaida. We weren't 100% sold on that name but now it looks like we don't have a choice. Whenever we say a different name for the baby she looks at us funny and says "no, it's baby Kaida."

New Years

We spent New Years with Travis's family. We did a lot of sledding and playing in the snow with the 4-wheelers. Ridlee didn't like the snow very much at first. I was pulling her very slowly in a sled around the driveway and she was crying her head off. She yells at me "Mommy I'm crying!" (As if I couldn't hear her) I laughed really hard at that one. She did go down the giant hill with me in Ucon. But we had to dodge a kid and Ridlee got sprayed in the face with snow and after that she wanted nothing to do with the snow. So she played in the truck.


"Mommy, I'm crying!"

Kyli, Brynn and Ridlee

Totally cheesing it while pretending to drive

Also while we were sledding Ridlee told me she needed to go potty. We tried to improvise. It didn't work out so well. She got stage fright.

More presents

Christmas

Wow December has flown by. Christmas was good. Ridlee had a lot of fun opening presents. She would start to unwrap a gift and yell "oh my goodness...a box!" We has to prompt to her to open the box to see what was inside. She loved Santa and anytime she say a picture of Santa she would get excited. When she heard jingle bells she would yell Santa. She loved singing christmas songs. It was really cute. Her are some pictures.

Say Cheese!

5 Months Pregnant



Taking Tinkerbell to the bathroom.

Everytime we asked Ridlee what the baby was going to be she would say a girl. And say she wanted a sister. Well that is what she is getting.

Florida - November 09

Ridlee did so good flying. We rode on a total of 6 plans to get there and back. It took 14 hours of travel in one day to get to Orlando. While we were there we went to Coco Beach, which Ridlee was afraid of the water and sand for the first hour and she cried. Then she played in the sand til she was covered from head to toe. Then we went to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Ridlee rode the rides and loved them. She loved to see the characters. She kept saying she wanted to kiss them. She kept asking to see the princess. She got most excited when she met Daisy Duck. The whole trip she was obsessed with Micky Mouse. It was really cute.

October 09

Ridlee turned 2 this month. They grow up so fast. We had a party for her and then went to blast off. For Halloween we went to Boo at the Zoo. She didn't get to go trick-or-treating because we flew out to Florida on Halloween day.

Priceless

Ridlee says the funniest things. The best one today was when she brought me an oven mit and said "mommy put this on, I want to cook a cow."

Ridlee started asking to sit on the potty 3 weeks ago and when I sat her on she actually went so then I decided it was time to potty train her. To say she LOVES potty candy is an understatement. She has stayed dry in panties for half the day.


Ridlee multi-tasking. She was on two very important phone calls.

Coming March 30th!!!

Random Summer Pictures

I was looking through some pictures and realized I never posted them. Ridlee loves playing in turtle pool. She loves to take rides on the 4-wheeler and will tell dad "I do it. I drive" One going on 16 already. She did fall asleep on a 4-wheeler trip one day. She drooled all over Travis's arm. She loves to wear my shoes. It doesn't matter if they are high heels. She will still war them. She is very independent and likes to get her own drink of water out of the fridge (scary!).

New York - DC Trip

We flew to NYC last Sunday then on Tues night we flew to Baltimore, Maryland in the smallest commercial airplane possible. This thing was unreal. I was panicked we were going to die. The plane was so loud and I was sitting next to the prop. My dear husband Travis leans over and says "well if the prop flies off it will kill you instantly." Thanks hunny for the reassurance. I took a picture of the plane when we got off. It has only 8 rows of seats.
