Wow how time flies by

Well alot is going on in the McFaddy's house hold. We are busy with work, school and our favorite raising an happy little boy. He is the joy of our life and by far perfect even know he is our little sinner. He is currently sitting up on his own that just started today he was wabally prior to today. I'm waiting still to be putout of the Army. I'm excited to be a stay at home mom and a full time student; however, scared becaue 50% of our pay is gone and all the things that come from working 60 hours a week to staying home. Jeff reenlisted on Tuesday so we should be in the army for another 14 years per say.. If that is what the lord wants us to do. We currently are in a series at church called Lifes Healing Choices which is kinda of interesting. Well I need to get to bed.. but just wanted to do a quick up date. God Bless

Uriah's 14 weeks already.

Wow time has flown by since I've blogged. I will give a quick update. First, Thank you Raina for your words of wisdom I do appreciate them. Well Uriah is growing like a weed and eating me outta the house. He just turned 14 weeks. He is holding his head up very well. He loves any kind of noise that you make as long you are paying attention to him. He's laid back doesn't have to be held all the time praise God.. He is begining to like tummy time finally and just as he likes tummy time he has figured out the art of rolling over to play with his toys. He's grabbing hs feet and attempting to put them in his mouth; he hasnt quite figured that out. Feet are gross anyhow. He sucks on anything in his mouth site and makes tons of goo goo gaa gaa noises. It's amazing at how fast they grow up. My two favorite things to watch is him playing with daddy and watching him sleep. Well an update on Jeff and I we are doing fine. We have come to another crossroad in our life where its time to make some hard decisions and we are completely leaving it in God's hands to what the out come might be. I'm currently suppose to deploy next may .. Which isnt going to happen in my eyes. There has been a job opportunitiy that has risen in the last past week. It is working in the same building upstairs the perk is civilian clothes. Wow I'll need a new closet. The bad thing is I have to be out by sep 27 2009 and working there on the 28th which is kinda cool. So it seems as if the door is open i just need to know whether to step or stay. We have finished moving we will clear out of the other house on monday. and the new house is still in disaray im tryn to put it together but had no idea how hard it is to unpack with a newborn.. It'll get done sometime soon I hope. Well I love and miss you all have a wonderful day.

I LOVE HIM

new pics from this week

his first time sitting in the bumbo

So its been awhile.

I know I've slacked at the log lately. Sorry to all of my frequent readers. I really just need somewhere this evening to vent. It's almost 11pm and I'm full of tears and emotions are off the charts. I'm sure it has to do with all the hormones.. Go figure. Well all I've wanted is Jeff's attention and affection today. So I wanted to get my nails done because it's been about 3 months and heck I think that I can do something for myself since I did go thru child labor and haven't had any me time. Well that went right down the drain as soon as I mentioned going somewhere by myself for an hour. I think he's afraid of not knowing what to do if he's crying. Anyhow, so I go on this cleaning frenzy I mean cleaning frenzy because I don't know what else to do to remove the disappointment and anger.. Then I work and ask if he'd like to play the Wii and he denies me on that too. I just dont get it.. So I offer to watch a 2 year old of a fellow co worker because her husband is home on rr and they wanted to go to a movie. So I offered to go for a long walk.. Well we walked to the mail box woohoo. and then We get back to the house and the television comes straight on to this whale wars show that he watched for 4 hours straight.. gahhhh I cooked a nice dinner and he didn't even say thank you it was good hun or anything his face was glued to the tv. I mentioned it twice and just figured it was a waste of my breathe. Gah I wish I could just smack him on the back of the head and tell him to wake up... Then after dinner while I'm doing dishes Uriah wakes up screaming and he's so into the doggone television to get up and grab him. So not only do I have the water running in the kitchen but my boobs are screaming at me because of Uriah.
To top this off the family picked up the little girl around 10pm and jeff gets a text from a fellow co worker asking him if he wanted to play tiger woods golf on the internet and guess what he goes out of his way to get connected to the internet to play. When I've asked more than once to play the Wii with me today and now I'm waiting up for him. I can't go to sleep by myself I so wish I could I would of locked him out of the bedroom. LOL J/K!! Boy I feel better I know that this may of been to much info but really needed to get it off my chest and there's no one up in tx and no one up in Hawaii. I'm tired and have to get up every 2.5 hours with Uriah. I wish all of you sweet dreams and God bless.


I love him

Grammy and Gramps oh and Uriah's favorite Uncle Kenneth

So Jeff's family has arrived. I'm so excited that they are here. Anyhow I promised I would get pics of them on here so here are a few they aren't the greatest but they will do until we can get some tomorrow.Uriah is making funny faces in a few. I pulled out the camera and bam here is the face he gave us. LOL
God bless. Kattie

Who would of known.

Who would of known that babies want it their way.. This little man has me wrapped around his pinky and he knows it. Anyways, Well the sleepless nights are starting to catch up to me. Well not really sleepless but the 2 hours here and 1.5 hours here are starting to catch up.. I got woke up at 4by Uriah and got him back to sleep by 5 because he likes to play for an hour after he eats and I get him back to sleep and I start to dose then 520 comes around and Jeff's alarm goes off. Uriah wakes up at 615 and is awake until 11.. He dosed once but was very cranky for the whole time frame. Motherhood completely slapped me in the face today.. Welcome to parenting.. It is a true blessing and for those single moms I respect you all for having to do it on your own. I am thankful for Jeff's helping hands when he is at home. Well I'm off to work.

Quick update on day 15 of being parents.

Oh wow I never thought parenting would be what it is. I love this.. Uriah is truly a blessing. He sleeps, eats, and poops thats really about it. We are doing well. We still need to purchase him a bed. It's not like the mainland though we can't just go out and buy one. There are limited place to buy baby beds. We finally decided on one and guess what it was sold out just my luck. Anyhow, we had our two week check up he was 7lbs2oz he's almost put on a pound since he's been home. Jeff will be returning to work :(.. Makes me a little nervous to be home with no helping hands all day but I know I can do it.. I have picked up a few new recipes.. I'm stoked. I love to cook and this time off is giving me the time to test new recipes. Woohoo.. We got pictures taken yesterday that was a adventure in itself. Anyways, all is well in the McFadden house. I just wanted to give a quick update and a new pic that is my favorite by far.

God Bless

Baby Uriah Skylar McFadden

OK so I figured while I have a rush of energy I will give everyone an update. My water broke at 2am Friday morning. I tried to sleep alittle and make sure the baby was moving. We got to the hospital after we showered, ate, and of course walked prince. So we arrived at 730 am at the hospital I was 3cm, at noon I was at 4 cm, the midwife was talking platocin and I didnt want meds wanted to try my best to go med free. Well she talked to us about nipple stimulation so I tried it.. Well who would of known that it was so dog on powerful it thru me into a 7 minute contraction the babies heart rate dropped and scared everyone for a minute or so.. So I was monitored and my contractions started coming regular after that moment.. So if any of you wanted to know nipple stimulation works. Wow is all I have to say. So at 4pm I was still at 4cm and she said I was making progress. She put me in the bath tub to relax me well a shift change a 6pm for midwives and 7pm for nurses. I was in the tub for about 2 hours and it was awesome it really took some of the pain off me.. So I got out of the tub the contractions were closer but at 7 I was still at 4cm.. Oh my this was going to take absolutely forever.. So I told Jeff I was exhausted and needed something to let me relax and rest for an hour if I wanted to give natural birth. So I took the narcatics. I slept for an hour, but heard every conversation that was going on. I woke up to the doctor talking about platocin again and Jeff and Ivy told her to leave so they could discuss it and they prayed over me and in the mean time I had to pee/poo and the nurse wouldnt let me go to the bathroom due to the narcatics... So I peed in the bed pan and told her i need to poo and push and she said don't push.. The doc came and asked if the platocin had been started and the nurse said no.. So I was examined and throwing the towel in for an epidural due to pain.. wow the pain who would of known.. (but its all worth it after its over).. So no more than the doctor examining me 10minutes ago and jeff and Ivy praying over me. I had went from 4cm to 10 cm.. No lie.. The doc examined me and said oh he's crowning lets get the show on the road. Needless to say no epidural for me.. 30 minutes of pushing and our Handsome Uriah Skylar McFadden had arrived. So we got home yesterday and everything is going ok.. I had a rough night last night full of feeding, puking, and dirty diapers.. Jeff took over at 630 so I could sleep and it felt like i slep a good 8 hours and it'd only been 2. So we are doing well keep us in your prayers i'm off for 55 days and jeff 10.. We have company coming in the beginning of june and look forward to it. God Bless and I'll post some more pics as they come in since jeff is documenting everything.. Absolutely everything.

I love him.
God Bless Kattie

Baby Uriah has arrived!!

God has a sense of humor!

As most of you know I have had an anxiety about making friends, and if you dont you do now. So at church today we started a new series called Good to Great. So today was about friends. What a better time than now right. Well he asked how many of us had good friends and great friends and I know that I have good friends but didn't quite know what he ment by great friends. Needless to say I have only ever had 2 great friends in my life my sister and Sara.. As the sermon went on I felt sadden because the once great friend I had is now just a good friend I want to be her to be a great friend and I want to be her great friend but time zones and life seem to seperate us. So this is what he said:
1. Good friends reveal some things, great friends are transparent to each other. - "Confess to one another therefore your faults, your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins and pray also for one another, that you may be healed and restored to a spiritual tone of mind and heart. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available."-James 5:16 AMP
2. Good friends hope for the best, great friends offer correction.
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." -Proverbs 27:17 NIV
-We alll know that sharpening iron isn't an easy process and correcting a friend when they are doing something wrong isn't an easy process either.
"All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."-Timothy 3:16 NIV
3. Good friends love each other, great friends love each other sacrificially.
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." -John 15:12-13
-Great friends are always there no matter what if its 2am or 3pm.
-Sacrificially means when we love our friends it may cost us something.

The reason I share this with all of you is because wow I didnt realize the difference between good friends and great friends. I look forward to turning good friends into great friends only if they are willing of course. We are able to move forward as god driven children when we have great friends that keep us accountable for our actions and are there for us in the deepest times of need. ...
When is the last time you corrected a friend knowing that you could lose their friendship? I can tell you this.. I haven't done it in a very long time.. Other than my sister and I'm more brave towards here than some of my friends. Well thats the update with me.

Baby McFadden is doing well. I'm starting to get cramps in my lower abdominal which is a good sign I suppose.. We go back to the doctor on 6 May if he hasn't came by then which I think I will have to experience a whole lot more cramps and discomfort first. Jeff is due back on Friday but he said he should be home on Tuesday. Praise God. Isn't he an awesome God. How he just seems to show me more about myself daily.

God Bless I love you gals.

36 Weeks 3 Days....

I had a doctors appointment today and it went well. I have been having some false labor indications. The midwife says that its common which some of you know but I didnt know false labor can hurt as bad as normal labor. My waddle has definately got worse and it's harder for me to walk without cramping. At work I have to get up and down constantly which is annoying but my unit realizes that I will be having this child soon.. So they are a little more leanent on me for working. I have been super sleepy since Jeff has left I guess thats part of being pregnant. A few more weeks and our little mcfaddy waddy will be here. I'm super excited. Theres alot to do at work but hey you know what its still going to be there just with a different name and social at the top of the form. I have really tried to back off and let my soldiers and nco work so they can get use to me not being there hopefully anyhow.. I'm posting a pic from easter Sunday I was 34 weeks I believe. I have a doctors appointment in 2 weeks to see how things are going. Keep me in your prayers for pain tolerance.
I love ya'll

Prayers Prayers Prayers!!

So this week has been so crazy.. Well first I would like you all to pray for Stacy and Jared they are Jeff's cousins they lost one of their twins this weekend due to some heart issues. My sister Sha is in the hospital with staff infection in her leg and they think its in her blood system.. Then Jeff is going out of town today for 2 weeks.. Thats nerve racking knowing tomorrow I will be 36 weeks. Then I just feel so lonely here in Hawaii. I dont know if I have an anxiety of making friends and having to say good bye frequetly....It's like everytime I make a really good friend they move to a different duty station or we move. It's just hard to find good good friends. I've really had to think hard of who would take me to the hospital if I were to go into labor while Jeff is gone.. If I were in Texas I know a few people I would call but here I cant even name one person that I would want there besides jeff and I've known most of these people for over a year but they aren't friends just people I know. If that makes any kind of since. I miss all of you and I'm so so ready to come back to Texas. Yes I know I live in Paradise but it would be so much better if I had a gf to share it with. You can only talk to your husband so much until he's tired of talking.. LOL ... Jeff is pretty good but its just nice to have a girl friend there for advise when you need it. Well I'm going to get off my soap box as jeff would say and help him pack we have to leave in 20 minutes. I'm going to target to shope it'll make me feel better lol not..

God Bless..

Blogger Slacker!!

OK... Blogger friends sry I've been slacking quite bad when it comes to updating things. So on monday I will be 35 weeks. Oh my 5 weeks to go or sooner. We have finally chose a name.. Cant tell until he gets here but let me tell you its unique and super cute!!! So I feel like a penguin walking. I wobble like no other and it gets worse by the day. I have been sleeping a little at night. Work is stressing me out to an extent and wearing me out. I go in at 0630 and suppose to be gone by 230 but never get out before 330.. Go figure.. It looks like i have an over sized bball in my shirt these days. Jeff and I are doing well to.... I'm super excited to be a mom but know it's going to be hard work. I just hope this little one doesnt decide to come between 20 April and 2 May because jeff will be St. Louis, MO.. Thats nerve racking I will have a little over two weeks left when he gets back. Things are slowly coming together for his room and for his arrival. I have our bags packed. the carseat ready and the extra pillows for jeff to sleep. I'm such a sweeet wife.. Nah I'm just kidding but the hospital did say bring extra pillows for the spouse so thats part of his bag.. Well thats about all thats going on in our lives. We miss and love all of you...

Until next time

Baby Shower Pics..

My sister made the cake, and everything else..

Home Sweet Home!

Well Hawaii isn't really Home Sweet Home.. It's just were we live. I miss home more now than I did before. I think it is because of my cute little nephew that I want to be around and my bf erin.. And of course all of our friends and family. It's amazing how life works. I have a horrible cold. I've had it since before we left Hawaii. It got better and now its back worse than before. I go to the labor and delivery Thursday night to get medicine and the nurse treats me like a complete idiot. Why should I pay for medicine when the Army will give it to me for free. That is my right as a soldier!! So the doc's were cool and said your just here to get medicine and of course my reply was yes.. So they took their time.. Hooked me up to all the monitors to check the baby and the nurse was super annoyed by this point.. I got a giggle out of it because it made her get off her butt and do something rather than play the game on the computer she was playing when we walked up. So they gave me sudafed, benodryl, and robitussin.. It seems not to work besides letting me sleep for more that 3 hours. Any who enough of that. We made it home safely on Tuesday night and we have been going and going since we got home. I want to thank all of you that came to the baby shower and all the gifts.. We ended up sending 9 boxes of baby stuff to Hawaii. Yes most of you are thinking thats expensive but I rather pay to ship it than go out and buy all of it.. My sister did the biggest contribution because I took everything that she had and wow its going to help out big time.. Bring on the hand me downs.. LOL!! So we are looking at possibly hiring a Nanny full time.. One because jeff and I work all the time and two our house will stay clean too.. So My sister is a awesome candidate for this. We are going to pay for her to move here and pay her weekly to watch our little one. She can go to school at night which I know she wants to finish her degree so this will help both of us out and I will be close to my nephew.. Those are all perks.. Down falls I can't really think of any currently. The Army charges us a buttload because we both are in the army and honestly the CDC your child is always sick.. This would be a 1yr to 1.5yr job.. So it would give Jeff and I time to prepare for me to get out of the Army. It will also allow us to attempt at finishing our degrees. I can almost taste it... NOT!! I wish what was I thinking waiting until I turn 25 to start college.. I was just busy enjoying being married and reling on being in the army foreer. I'm just over it. I don't want to have to leave me child for long periods of time and rely on someone else to take care of him.. Well thats whats on my mind.. So much to do and think about and not enough time..

24 Weeks 6 days!

So all is well in the McFaddy Waddy house. We are starting to do the transformation for the baby. I have a cabinet area that is perfect for a changing table so we are going to transfer it from being the only linen place we have to the baby storage area besides his room. We are in a very small town house because thats how Hawaii is everything is small here. LOL Just like everything is big in Texas. Anyhow. Jeff keeps calling the baby mac what he wants him to be named to see if it sounds good I get a kick out of it. But for now only God knows when he wants us to know he'll tell us. We have started this new Ohana group (small group)and the church is also doing a 6 weeks series on it. It's called desire to change. My biggest one is doing my devotions. I have got to be one of the worst. I always think about it I just dont have the discipline to do it and honestly I have read more recently than I have in the past I just pray that jeff would do the same.I guess my biggest prayer is that we can go together spiritually. We pray and have wonderful conversations but just wish that we would read once a week together. Anyhow. We will be in dallas on the February 28th at 0930. Prince is calming down. He keeps me sane on days that I really need it. I know I got off on a tangent anyways. This desire to change church wide is amazing to watch others change and you grow with them. If we are done with the book we will bring it and pass it on. The beach was wonderful today and no im not in a swim suit I can't fit any of the ones I have and dont feel like buying a new one. Jeff is learning how to surf. I'm so jealous I waited 8 months for him to get here and now I'm pregnant with our precious little boy and can't get on a surf board. He is actually catching waves and standing for a few prior to falling off. He loves it. Well anyhow take care God Bless.

Love ya

Kattie

22 Weeks Today!!

I turned 22 weeks today. Oh what a blessing. God has blessed me with a wonderful pregnancy. We found out what our little one is going to be.. Hold on I know some of you cant wait to here. ITS A BOY!! We are super excited and feel truly blessed. God knows I can't handle girls. LOL jk We have started to get things from the soldiers that deployed around a week and half ago. Jeff said "Wow we are really having a baby." I just laughed. I think the reality of it is starting to kick in. I think it will kick in more when we set up his room .. So looks like we will be in dallas the 27th ish through the 3rd of march. So thats really all thats new in our lives. Oh. yeah jeff is finally promotable. He's heading out to the phillipines on saturday :( for a week. at least im blessed to be here were we can see each other here and there. I love you gals. I got to make dinner just wanted to reply to Raina.. LOL.. Oh the baby moves like its on crack. its crazy..
