Baby Kimberly

Add to My Profile | More Videos
Ok, so every time Kimberly moves around I try to catch it on video but I never can....until now:) I recorded it myself so it's from a strange angle but if you watch carefully you can see her move. This video only shows a little bit of how much she moves, she is so active! I had to kind of push her in the beginning of the video to make her move, but don't worry it didn't hurt her:)
Dylan (it's a long story how he fits into the picture but he is the nephew of Cyndy's friend/boss and he has been visiting this summer). Well, he is going back to South Dakota on Monday and wanted to go to the gorge and hike the falls so today we went. Seth, Scott, Cyndy, Nathan and Dylan hiked farther into it so they could go swimming, but it was a hard hike over some fallen trees so I couldn't go so Kathy and I stayed behind and talked.
Seth got a new job at a window factory. It is just temporary work for now and if he likes it and wants to stay on permanently he can. But, it's likely he will keep applying other places and just work there until something else comes along.
Tomorrow is my baby shower for the Davenport family/friends. I am super excited for it because we are having it at the movie theater where Cyndy works and we are watching the movie Becoming Jane. I promise to write after and let everyone know how it goes. We love and miss everyone!!!

Pictures of our apartment

Here are the long awaited pictures of our new apartment. Everything is all unpacked and Kimberly's room is all ready for her. Our apartment is 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom and a dining room. We also purchased a new tv when we first moved out here so I put up a picture of that also.
I am having another baby shower this Saturday for the Davenport family/friends. We are having it at the theater where Cyndy works and we are all watching Becoming Jane. Everyone seems excited to come since it won't be like a normal baby shower and the women all get to see the movie without having to drag their husbands to it.
Seth is still looking for a job. He has turned his resume in so he's just going to keep applying places and we'll wait and see. We went to our first childbirth class last night. It was long but has a lot of information we didn't know. The only problem is the seats are super uncomfortable so two hours of sitting is not my favorite. But I did learn some breathing exercises and now that we only have 6 1/2 weeks left I better start learning how to breathe:)
Ok, well that's about it. Enjoy the new pics.

Our Family Vacation

Our vacation started on Thursday with lunch at Benihana's, Japanese food, and then we went to an arcade place and played a bunch of fun games. I am sad to say I lost to Seth in air hockey, but there will be a rematch!!! Friday we drove to Seattle. I was so excited because this was my first trip to Seattle! We stayed in a hotel in downtown Seattle. First we went to Ikea. Seth, Scott and Nathan decided they didn't want to walk around Ikea so they went to visit Jimmy Hendrix's grave. After a couple hours of shopping, and I only spent $15:) we checked into our hotel and headed to the space needle and a music museum (I forgot the name). They had a really nice Disney display there so that was fun. Then we walked by the space needle and took the little train to a local mall where we had dinner at Johnny Rockets. Then it was back to the hotel. I was super tired after all the walking we did so Cyndy and I soaked our feet in the hot tub while the boys went swimming. Saturday morning we went to a 7-Eleven they turned into a Kwik-E-Mart from the Simpsons. There are only 8 like it so it was fun. I got a coke squishee. Then we headed to Pikes Place. Now that was interesting....so many little stands with random stuff for sale. I was excited to see them throw the fish! We walked around there for a while and then went to visit Cyndy's old roommate who now lives in Seattle. While they were visiting Seth, me, Scott, Nathan and Christopher walked to Bruce and Brandon Lee's grave. After that we headed home and along the way stopped at a little store, which I also don't remember the name of, and bought some really good candy! Then it was back home where we had Yen's Chinese for dinner and then it was bed time. Sunday we went to church and just relaxed. We had Sunday dinner together and then went home to bed. Today, Monday, Mom (Kathy) made omelet's for breakfast and then we went to a Japanese store in Beaverton. They bought some stuff that I won't eat, like Kim Chi and seaweed and dried squid....GROSS!! But, I did have yellow watermelon for the first time and surprisingly it tastes like regular watermelon! I also bought a peanut butter cookie and it was really good! Then we went to Pittok Mansion and took a tour there. It is a beautiful old house with an amazing view. Then we went to downtown Portland to Powell's books, this HUGE book store. I bought a few new books for Kimmie. Then we had lunch at Rocco's Pizza which sells huge new york style slices. Then it was off to EM, a music and movie store. Mom bought us, or should I say Kimmie, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Groundhog Day (ok, that one is for us). Then it was back home where we are making dinner together. Tonight's theme is Mexican night.
Well, that is basically it about our vacation. It was really nice and I enjoyed seeing all the sights I've never seen. It was a lot of walking and I am pretty tired but I survived:)
I just passed my 32 week mark and the end is near. I feel myself getting bigger each day. It is getting more difficult to get around but luckily Seth helps me so much. Our apartment is all set up and the nursery is done too. It looks so cute. We were lucky enough to get a crib mattress and bedding set from someone in Seth's parents ward and I love it! I will post pictures of that later. Here are all the pictures from our trip, enjoy!

Here is a picture of me at 28 weeks and some of Seth and me at the coast for our anniversary. Oh yeah, and one of us with our favorite family......

Update

Sorry everyone, things have been really busy lately. We moved into our apartment and are almost done unpacking. It is a nice 2 bedroom 1 bathroom duplex in Beaverton, Oregon. We are close to Seth's family and the area is really nice. We've been busy unpacking and Seth is trying to teach me the area. So far I know how to get to my doctor, the hospital, Seth's parents and Yen's (my favorite Chinese restaurant). Luckily it's not too confusing so I'm getting the hang of going places alone. Seth is still looking for a job, but we're not too worried, I know things will work out. We are almost done decorating Kimmie's room. The only thing left to do is put the crib together and then buy the last minute stuff we need. I am 29 weeks along now and it is starting to get harder. Last night I was so hot I couldn't fall asleep. Seth was nice enough to get two fans and put them on me so I could cool down a bit and get some sleep. Kimmie is moving around so much these days and I love it!! She will be here before we know it and it's so exciting. I will post some pictures of our apartment when it's all set up.
We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on June 30th. We went to Seth's uncles beach house near Cannon Beach. It was so nice. The water was a little cold so I just put my feet in it. We just spent time together and relaxed after the long move. We went to the beach to watch the sun set and took some really nice pictures (which I will also post when I get some time). We don't have the internet at our place yet so it may take me a while to get some pictures posted but I promise I will!
I guess that's about it. Hopefully things will settle down a bit soon (probably just in time for Kimmie to be born and things will get crazy again.) We love everyone and hope you're all doing great! Miss you!!! Lot's of love from Oregon:)

We made it:)

We finally made it to Oregon:) We left Thursday around 3pm and stayed in Boise that night. We left Boise around 11am, after a long battle with retying the tarps. Then we arrived at Seth's parents house around 6:30pm. It was a long drive, but everything went smooth. Oh yeah, we bought a car on Wednesday. It is a 2002 Ford Taurus. It has 48,000 miles on it and we love it. The crazy thing is when we started looking for cars I told Seth I do not want a Ford or a white car.....and we bought a white ford;) So far it has been really good to us. There is a lot of room and we get great gas mileage.
Friday night we just rested and then Saturday we went to breakfast with Tina and Scott (they drove the truck and trailer out here to help us). We went to two movies, Fantastic Four: The Silver Surfer and Oceans Thirteen. They were both really good and free so that made them even better (thank you Cyndy). We went to Mikes where Scott works and had lunch. Did a little bit of shopping, went to dinner at a BBQ place and then just hung out back at Tina & Scott's hotel. They left early this morning. It was sad saying goodbye, but I know that this is where I am supposed to be so what can ya do??? They will be out to visit again in November for Kimberly's baby blessing.
Right now we are staying at Seth's parents house. I have an appointment tomorrow to look at an apartment and I plan to spend the majority of the day looking for somewhere to live. It's so hard living out of a suitcase right now, especially since we didn't pack our clothes that well. Seth has an interview either Monday or Tuesday and he has some other job options we are going to look into. So, that's our crazy life for now. I will try my best to keep everyone updated. We love and miss everyone and please, come visit us anytime:)
