On April 13 I went in to see Dr. Gooch to check on the newest baby Jones. I was 37 weeks and while still very close to my due date I thought I still had a few weeks to go. At the visit Dr. Gooch told me that I was already 3.5 centimeters dilated and I could go into labor any day.
My first thought was.... WHAT ABOUT MONSTER JAM!?!? Silly I know but Candor (really probably Todd and I) had been looking forward to going for months. Monster Jam was on the 23rd and Dr. Gooch told me I would not make it.
I called Todd and told him he needed to start transitioning his work now as the baby was coming soon! I then started thinking I needed to start talking to Nana and Pop Pop stat and work on a plan to get them here so if I did go into labor they could stay with Candor.
That night when Todd came home he arrived in this....
I mean I had called him 3 hours earlier to tell him the baby was going to come any second so he decides he needed to trade cars with someone at work for the weekend and comes home with a 2 seater!! Makes total sense....right?!?!
My parents arrived that following Monday (April 17) and we officially went on baby watch! Baby watch really consisted of spoiling Candor!
Hanging at Hat Creek waiting on Nana and Pop Pop to arrive. One funny thing that happened while we were walking to Hat Creek was that Candor spotted some dog poop on the sidewalk. He was fascinated by this so the remainder of the way to Hat Creek as well as the walk back he was on poop watch and got so excited if he found more poop! He would scream.. "Momma more poop!!"
Nana and Pop Pop finally arrived so we took them to Maudies for supper. Candor conned them into doing big jumps with him while walking.
The next day Nana, Pop Pop, AK, Candor and I went to Chucky Cheese. Todd even met us for a bit. Candor had so much fun playing all the games and eating cheese pizza.
Nana spent a lot of time in the sandbox with Candor.
Enjoying supper outside.

One afternoon Candor decided he wanted to play in his water table. He also told me he wanted to put on his swim diaper. I went and grabbed a swim diaper and then took off his regular diaper. Before I could blink he took off and was yelling no swim diaper!! So he played and played in the nude.
On April 20 I had another appointment with Dr. Gooch. He was very surprised I had not went into labor! He also decided that we needed to schedule an induction because when I did finally go into labor it would be very quick. I told him anytime after Monster Jam was good with me. We decided to schedule it for the following Monday (April 24) unless the baby came sooner.
Still no baby and headed to Monster Jam!
That afternoon G and PaPa arrived so they could be here for the following day to welcome the new baby! We had supper and Lucy's Fried Chicken.
To end the night Todd and I finally decided to install the baby seat! We officially waited until the last minute.

After all that anticipation 37 minutes into Monster Jam Candor said he was ready to go home. Haha... Whatever kid.. you want to go home we will take you home! He did leave with some pretty good swag.
That afternoon G and PaPa arrived so they could be here for the following day to welcome the new baby! We had supper and Lucy's Fried Chicken.
Then headed for dessert at Amy's.
