Carson Dale

Hello All!

Well we are happy to say Carson Dale Conklin is now here. He was born Saturday May 3 at 6:49 AM. He was born weighing 9 lb 6 oz. 21inches long. And yes I survived! :) So far he is a very content baby and we think he looks just like Mason. Mason is doing really well too. Grandma and Grandpa bought him a new Diego movie so he's pretty pumped about that. As for me I am doing pretty good. They think I may have endometriousis (sp) I have been having some severe pains in my stomach so they put me on an antibiotic to hopefully help. If it doesn't get better I will see my doc tomorrow. Hope you enjoy all the pictures. They are kinda in random order because Carson is hungry! Thank you to everyone who came to visit and called. We are so lucky to have such an amazing family.

KU Fan!

Dr. Appointment 39 Weeks

Went to the doctor today and I am still measuring the same as last time. He did however attempt to strip my membranes but was unsuccessful. The baby is just sitting too high still. So now we wait. I will go back on Monday (Yes that is after my due date) and have a non-stress test and an ultrasound to check the fluid levels. At that time he will decide if they need to induce me (because the levels are low) or let me go longer. He did say that if the fluid levels are okay he will let me go until 41 weeks before they do anything else. So until then we are being patient. My sister Angie says if it is a girl she must not have her hair done yet and is waiting until then :)

I did have a nice night out tonight. Mason went to Grammy and Papa Conklin's for the evening and I walked the mall and did a little shopping. It really helped pass the time getting out and about.

So if anything happens we'll let you know....

Playing Outdoors

We all have been enjoying the beautiful weather outside. Mason loves to ride in his car with his feet up and lounging. :) He is getting very good about walking with us down the street he even took Hope for a walk with us the other day! Well more like She walked him.







Put that tongue away!

That is the car we made for Mason for his 1st birthday. He loves the hill we have in our driveway. He gets going pretty fast!

Children's Museum

Playing in the sandbox



Bob the Builder is at the Children's Meseum....Mason loved the tools



Afterwards we brough daddy a picture Mason made there. As you can see he loves playing with the basketballs in Chads classroom

Dr. Appointment

I am now over 38 weeks. I went to the doctor today and there is no change. I am at a 1 still 30% effaced and minus 3 station. So I guess we are in for the long haul. He thought about stripping my membranes but he said I wasn't ready for that and that it would be a losing battle to try. So I go back next Wednesday....Until then we'll be patient! :)

New pics April

Here are some new pics of the family over Spring Break. It was so nice to have Chad home over break. We are looking forward to having him home again when the baby gets here since he'll get to take some time off for that.

The dairy dip is officially open!



My cookie monster.



How can you get mad at eyes like those?!?!?

My two favorite guys

Playing ball with dad for the first time.

Loving daddy's hats all the time even during lunch!

Our Favorite Jayhawk

Mason is proud to be a Jayhawk fan! (We are even trying to get him to say Rock Chalk Jayhawk!) We had so much fun watching Kansas Basketball this year and I even won the Peuler Championship trophy...Yes I beat Chad and I get that toad out of our house! Mason slept through most of the game (through our yelling and cheering) but did wake up near the end. So he stayed up for a bit to watch them cut down the nets and such.

Mason is quickly falling into the terrible two's stage. We are not to sure how much we like it but we are trying to be calm and survive this time. At this point his favorite word is No! But it is the tone he uses that is a little hard to take sometimes. Some of his other new words are yellow, owl, boat, Nemo (But sounds a lot like Elmo) and he even is trying to say cock a doodle doo. It's too funny!

Well no big change with the baby. I am dilated to a one. At least things are progressing but the doctor doesn't suspect that I go anytime soon. That is okay with me. We are almost done with the basement then we can put the baby's room together. I would like to get the all done before he/she gets here.

Dr. Appointment

Baby is looking good. Doctor thinks we are in for the long haul....which is fine I am not too uncomfortable and I am enjoying my time with Mason and Chad. I go back next Tuesday for another check before the doctor goes on vacation....so until then...Go Jayhawks

Easter and Misc

Things here are going really well. We were able to visit with both families for Easter and Mason enjoyed the Easter Egg hunt at the Conklin's. I wasn't sure if he would get the concept but as you can see by the pictures it didn't take him long to figure it out.

(Look what I found)

(Me and Daddy)

As for me and the baby we are doing well. I go back to the doctor next week for our first "check" so we'll see where we are at then. The time is going very fast and it will be here before we know it.

Chad is the lucky one around here lately....he has tickets to the NCAA bball games this weekend in Detroit, that means he gets to watch Kansas play. Needless to say Mason and I are VERY jealous.

(Being crazy with dads beanie on)

(Favorite meal...Spaghetti)
