Catchin' Up on April

I have been doing some sewing here and there and Dylan asked if he could learn how to use the sewing machine. He decided to make a little cuddle blanket for his little brother so he used the machine for most of it and then I taught him how to sew by hand as well. He did great, stayed focused and didn't even poke himself :)
Dylan has been working hard at his "homeschool" and made it through two giant work books (one he got on his birthday, March 8th, so he's been working quick) and they came with certificates of completion. He is very proud to be able to count to 50 and to 100 with my help. He is also working on understanding money, time and the vowels in the alphabet.
Danielle really, really, really wanted to dye her hair red for Prom (and for however long it takes to grow out) so with the help of some of her babysitting money, money from her dad and me, and mainly money from her grandma and great-aunt she was able to get exactly the hair she has been dying for. Pictures from prom will be taken on Saturday and I will get those on here as soon as possible.
Me at 30 weeks today! Yikes, 10 to go I can hardly believe it. Baby boy is around 3 pounds now and growing daily. Shane suggested a name last night that I actually liked and didn't associate with anyone else and hopefully more talk on that tonight. One of these days he will have a name, whether or not it comes to the hospital is debatable. We have a child birth refresher class on Saturday at the hospital which I am actually looking forward to and then a fun weekend after that.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Soaking it all In

Because I have a bad habit of zoning out when the tv is on, I've turned it off and told myself it can't come on until a rerun of a show I wanted to see comes on at 11. I can't stay up late so I'm trying to watch shows that will rerun, which is most of them outside of the basic cable channels. So obviously instead of working on my homework about Intercultural Crossings in Indian Music while Lincoln is taking a nap, I'm on here updating you on the trivial matters of my day. A friend told me an interesting revelation the other day. "When you have a child that is an infant you are the most physically exhausted. When you have a child that is just entering school aged you are the most mentally exhausted. When you have a teenager you are the most emotionally exhausted." So the way I see it, since I have one in each category I'm basically the most exhausted I'm going to get and since I'm seeming to do ok, it's only going to get easier from here. Y...

New Moves

So I officially started feeling the baby moving around this week, Tuesday to be exact, and now I feel dancing all the time. It's pretty weird because it has been so long since I've housed a fetus and I know no one else can feel it from the outside, but it's really real. The picture I took on the left shows me holding a photo of a 17week baby to scale. It's hard to imagine something that big is fitting inside of me already :) We had the "Mom" talk today inside the Dollar Store. Danielle asked me if it was ok if she could call me Mom. She says I treat her the way a mom should treat her daughter and that made me so proud. I am so glad that even though we have our daily and weekly ups and downs that our family unit is really coming together.
