Kipton turns 5!!!

3 posts in one day.. whew! Can you tell I am trying to play catch up before lil brother makes his arrival?

Kipton had his birthday party this past Saturday. I thought it would be easier for family coming into town to have the shower and Kipton's party on the same day. It was great, but made for one tired, tired, tired momma!!! That evening Landon's great friend, DJ threw him a diaper shower and they stayed up super late playing poker and had a blast. So it was just a full day of Hayes festivities ;)

We had his party at Absolute dance. They have a great party room and lots of room for the kids to run off energy. Kipton had a great party and was excited to see all this friends.

We were so excited cousin Jhett came down, two weekends in a row!!!

Our birthday boy!!!

Pretty good attempt at getting all the kiddos ;)

Thanks to all of you that came and made Kipton's day special!! We missed those of you who could not attend.

Happy 5th Birthday sweet boy!!! You have changed so much but continue to make us laugh and smile. You have a huge personality and I know you will do great things in life. We look forward to many more years to come with you!

Kingston's shower!

My great friends Katy and Beth offered to throw me a baby shower for Kingston, and my mom and sisters offered to help out as well.

It turned out so perfect. The decorations were so adorable, the food was delicious, great time with friends, and Kingston and I felt spoiled for sure.

Here are a few pictures of the shower. Sorry, I didn't catch a picture with everyone.

My great friend Brandi!!

Nana Bucky, as Kip calls her ;)

This girl made this shower possible. So thankful for everything!

My little helpers!

Sweet sign made for Kingston's room!

We appreciate the love we felt from family and friends. Thank you for all the sweet texts of those who couldn't make it we definitely missed you.

Kingston updates!

We had a sonogram at 34 weeks, and sweet Kingston measured 6 pounds, 2 ounces and was measuring a week and a few days ahead. He is a big baby!!! At this appointment, Dr. Doke said that my amniotic fluid was measuring a little high. Normally this is caused in mothers who failed their diabetes test, or mothers whom have had pregnancies before with high fluids (neither of which is me). He said it was nothing to be concerned with. The only thing it meant with me, is more frequent sonograms to make sure the little guy isn't under any stress.

I am 36 weeks and 3 days along today and little Kingston is tracking ahead of schedule. By the looks of things he is 96 percentile, and most of his weight is coming from his tummy. I had a sonogram on Monday (36 weeks and 1 day) and he was measuring 7 pounds, 13 ounces. My amniotic fluid was even higher this sonogram but he is breathing perfectly, so Dr. Doke is not concerned. I am also dilated to a "2"..eeeekkk! He has completely dropped and my body is telling me, we will be meeting this sweet boy pretty soon. I went ahead and scheduled to be induced Wed Jan 27th, but I am still thinking it will be sooner. We will see ;)

His poor nose is smooched up against my placenta. The guy has run out of room thanks to my high fluids and him being so big. lol

I go in again this coming Monday for another sonogram (which will be weekly) until I have him.

Meanwhile, Landon has been working his tail off in his nursery and it is finally complete. I am so in love with the way it turned out!! He ripped up carpet, laid wood tile floor, put in a new fan (the brass just wasn't going to cut it) and changed out door knobs and hinges.

This is the same crib that we had for Laney and Kipton. Landon made the sign above his bed and I love it!!

Love his gallery wall!!

Custom curtains that Landon and I worked on almost all day a few Saturdays ago. He has a huge window and they turned out way better than I could have hoped for.

This was at 35 weeks. Proud brother, can you tell?

We are so ready to meet you Kingston Fain and are ready when you are!!!
