Camie Cleone 4/16/10

I guess it is about time I got on a updated you all about the birth of Camie. I have been a little busy :)

Friday, April 16th was my scheduled induction and my doctor told me at my last appointment that he would not be there and that another doctor from the practice would be delivering Camie. Anyways, no big deal since I was at the point of "I don't care who takes this baby out of me, I just want her out". I was told to be at the hospital at 5:30 or 6am which of course I told Peter that it was 5:30am. So the morning of, Peter is rushing out the door to get there at 5:30 and as we are pulling out of the driveway, I tell him that they said 5:30 OR 6 and needless to say, he was not too jazzed that I had kept that from him.

Anyways, we ended up arriving at the hospital around 5:45 or 6 due to the stops we made to get Peter a Monster energy drink. They started me on Pitocin around 7 and then the waiting began. The doctor (who looks like Tobias from Arrested Development) came in around 8:30 to break my water. He did so and we continued the wait. Lots of waiting and 7 hours later, Kim and Treven stopped by to say hi. The nurse thought Camie might have been in a weird position and so she was moving me side to side trying to get her to move. I was dialated to a 6 or 7 for an hour or two. Within 5 minutes of Kim and Treven leaving, I started to feel alot of pain and was checked and I had gone from a 6 or 7 to a 10 in just that 1/2 hour. We called Mom and told her to get to the hospital immediately. It was a good thing they live so close to the hospital because she walked in when Camie was crowning. Camie was born at 4:33pm and was 7 lbs 4 oz and 19 inches long.

Camie is an angel and very quiet. Most times I have to wake her up to eat. She didn't even cry during the first bath at the hospital. Heavenly Father definitely knew what type of baby I needed at the time of busy-ness going on in our lives. We love her and the boys are loving having a baby sister. We feel so blessed to be able to have her as an addition to our family.

Stuff I've made for Camie

April 16th, 2010

Well that is the date of my scheduled induction for Camie. I just thought I probably needed to announce it to the family so that you all know what is going on here. We are getting very excited for her to join us. I will be 37 weeks on Wednesday and I am definitely ready for her to come.

Just as Peter announced, we rented out our home in Boise and are now in limbo at Mom and Dad's house until we figure out what we will do in Salem (rent/buy). Thanks to Mom and Dad for putting up with us being here for the time being. I don't know what we would do if we didn't have such great people to be willing to take us in. We love you and thanks so much.

It is weird to be in such a big house all alone but I am getting alot of company with Kim and Brent coming over alot. Thanks to all of you who are keeping me busy in these last few days of pregnancy and not having Peter here all the time. It is helping alot. Thanks.

Well now is the waiting game to see if she comes before April 16th. Otherwise she will be coming then and we will definitely let you know.

Busy Busy

I will admit, I have been a little busy lately but now that I have a minute to sit down I thought I might write something (being nudged by Tracey helped :) ).

The move went well. We are now getting settled in here at mom and dad's and are having fun being around everyone. Andrew still has to learn to come to the realization that we won't see the Washugal Stinchfields all the time. It is nice to be near family for the first time in our marriage. Thanks again to Mom and Dad for letting us doing this and putting up with my children screaming and crying every night because they are still adjusting and tired from all the activity going on.

Peter headed back last night to Boise and he will definitely be missed here with our family. It is nice to know he will be back next weekend. I am glad that he is willing to do so much for me and the family at this time. He is working hard and helping to keep the company growing out here. Like Mom said to me the other day, they definitely picked the right guy for the job because Peter is so good at it.

The boys are loving the closeness to family and seeing everyone a lot. He was so excited to be able to go to Sunbeams with Melia yesterday, he could have cared less that I was there. (that was for you Dave and Tom)

The pregnancy is going well and I will be 8 months (32 weeks) this week. I go to meet and have appts. with the new doctor this week also. Exciting but nervous at the same time due to having such an awesome doctor in Boise. I will definitely miss Dr. Hodges. Peter jokingly suggested that we have Dr. Hodges call this new doctor and tell him to do everything like he does so that we are comfortable this birth. Funny Funny.

Anyways, I should probably get to unpacking one of these days and continue the rearrangement of the bonus room. We love you all and love have the family we do!

Love,
Anne

Andrew's Sunbeam Lesson

So we get in the car after church yesterday and I asked Andrew as I always do ""What did you learn about in sunbeams today?"

Andrew: "Jesus and Tooting and Laughing"

Needless to say we had the talk on the way home that tooting and burping in Primary are not reverent and you don't do it. Meanwhile Peter is chuckling and so proud.

Welcome to Oregon

Well it is official, we are officially able to announce our move to Salem, OR. We have had to keep it quiet as Peter's company had not announced it yet. Last night was the Annual Christmas party where the announcement was made. We are excited to be close to family and to have this opportunity. We will miss Boise and all of our friends here but this will be good for us and our little family. As for when officially we will be moving, we aren't sure completely but it will be March/April/May. As I am due with our baby April 21st, we plan on having her here in Boise and then making the official move but we will probably have some overlap as Peter has to be over there for whenever the project that they are on begins construction.

We will be asking for lots of prayers and help during this big change. Thanks so much for all of you being so supportive of us. I am so proud to be Peter's wife and be able to see him thought of so highly in the company that they would do something like this for us.

Love, Anne

November started off to be a busy month. I had to participate in Club tryouts for the first week of the month which meant I was gone every night pretty much from 5 until at the earliest 9:30 and at the latest 11:00pm. It was a busy and sorta drama filled week but it all turned out well and we ended up with a really good team for this season with really big potential. I am so excited to start practices up after thanksgiving.

We can't wait for a lot of things around here. Thanksgiving means that Mom and Dad will be coming to visit us and we will be able to have a lot of fun with them here. We are already planning stuff for their visit. We also can't wait until Dec. 2nd when we will find out what the sex of the baby is. We are very excited to know and I am getting really impatient. Peter's brother and his wife just found out they are having a girl after 2 boys so it makes me that much more impatient to know.

Peter is still super busy with work. He will be going this week to Bellevue, ID as normal as well as making a trip over to Portland/Salem area for work again. Things are looking good for him and we can only hope that things will ultimately work out for everything.

The boys are doing well. Andrew walks into our bedroom every morning asking the question "Where is my fricking blue blanket?" It makes us laugh because it is literally the first words out of his mouth every morning. He has been pulling phrases out from no where totally cracking us up and shocking us as well. Beck is getting more and more interested about the potty which is great because I was kinda hoping to potty train him before this baby comes. He is a crack up as well and understands and talks to us more and more each day. He definitely does everything early than Andrew did. We are looking at getting a bunk bed for the boys before the baby comes and have been looking at the ones that have stairs on the side instead of ladders. They are pretty cool.

Anyways, the pregnancy is continuing to go well and I am feeling the baby kick now on a regular basis. It is definitely one of the cool things about having a baby grow inside of you. I am well and our family is as well.

We love you all and can't wait to see you all whenever we get the chance to.

Well I guess time has come for me to blog again. I know I have been a major slacker lately and I will try harder to blog more frequently. High School ball just got over and that is what I have been busy with every day since the middle of August. It was stressful as always, but we did end up winning one more game than last year which was an improvement. I don't believe I will be returning next year due to having 3 kids and the time commitment it is. Club is just a whole lot easier for our family as the practices are later at night and thus allows Peter to be home to be with the kids rather than having to hire a babysitter. Club ball tryouts are in 2 weeks so it should be interesting to see who ends up on our team. This year we are getting a new group of girls of which we don't really know any of them so it makes for an exciting time where we don't end up having to deal with politics and such.

Andrew started preschool in September and has been going twice a week since. It is a co-op and so I teach every 4 or so weeks. It is nice to have a break and only have one child to worry about for 4 hours a week. Andrew is loving it and they are going to a Pumpkin Patch on Thursday and he can't wait. This year Andrew has requested to be a ghost for Halloween so I took a white sheet and made a very homemade costume for him. It is not great looking to say the least but he loves it and has to wear it at least once a day. Andrew have their first Halloween date with our babysitters who asked if they could take the boys trick or treating on Halloween for us. Peter jumped at the chance to not have to go. Beck will be Batman btw.

Peter is working hard and getting alot of new opportunities. They sent him a few weeks ago to Salem area to attend a conference all by himself to try to get their name out there in that area. He is also heading up looking into and researching some stuff in the Vancouver area. Very exciting but we never know what will end up happening. He still travels weekly to the Sun Valley area for a project and will probably continue to do so until early December.

The pregnancy is going well. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow and finally in the 2nd trimester. We find out around the first week in December what the sex of the baby is. It is getting closer and closer and I am impatient. I want to know now!

Mom and Dad will be heading over here for Thanksgiving and we are very excited to have them come. It is always fun to have family come to visit(hint hint) and especially at the holidays. We will be heading to Cali for Christmas to hang with Peter's parents in Atwater. They just bought a new bigger house so it will be fun to have more room to run around.

We love you all and miss you. It was so nice to see all the ones that we did back in September. We hope to see some of you soon.

Love,
Anne

It has been quite a while since we have posted on here. Life has been busy with volleyball beginning and ending of summer. Andrew's birthday went well. He was so excited for his fire truck cake and had such a fun day. Thank you to all who sent gifts. They were very much appreciated. By the way Dave and Adina, Andrew now refers to the Harry and the Terrible Whatzit book as the Whats up book. We try to correct him but he is just so cute when he says it. Andrew has gotten back on his bike now and rides it quite often and he is getting very good at it. He now likes to ride it to the store and back on our walks to the store. He is such a big kid.

Beck is growing up daily and is so much fun to watch. He gets so excited about stuff now and constantly goes "OOO OOO OOO" when he sees something he is excited about. We also are beginning to have fights with him saying I Love you back and forth. It is amazing to see how much he is talking and understanding things.

We are beginning Andrew in a preschool co-op starting in 1 1/2 weeks. He asks me everyday if he can go to preschool. Needless to say, I don't think we will have a problem getting him to go.

We sold Peter's truck to one of Peter's coworker and have now joined the pack with a plasma tv and mini laptop. We are moving up in the world. We are now a one car family and Peter is enjoying riding his bike to work on the days he doesn't have the company truck.

Volleyball has started and we had a rough start yesterday with a loss in 3 games to our rivals. We were getting alot of bad calls from the ref and so in the 3rd game, the girl who is the head coach got herself ejected from the game. Now it is up in the air as to whether she will be able to coach the team on Tuesday. If not, I will be the head coach for the day. Luckily these games don't count towards the record for placement in Districts so hopefully the girls will pick up our play and play like the team we see in practice.

We are continuing our training for the half marathon and are very excited to head home for a few days for Labor day weekend. We will be getting there by Friday afternoon and staying through Monday. It is great that we get to see you all two times this month.

Anyways, there it is finally after a month hiatus. We love you all and can't wait to see you soon!
