37 Weeks and going strong

Image
By
We took this picture on Saturday during the BBQ. Shane stuffed the iconic watermelon under his shirt to humor my crazy belly picture idea. So he's bigger than me but it's still fun. That day we ended up going to the lake after and believe me when I say it is quite a spectacle to see a 36 week pregnant woman in a bikini, no matter how small she is carrying. I think I may have sent some children running.
Anyway I had my 37 week appointment scheduled for today but went in yesterday because I wasn't feeling well and good thing I did because with my luck I found out I had Strep Throat. Blah. So now I'm on antibiotics (which are not a problem during pregnancy I am told) for the next 9 days! Yikes. I could have my little one by then. wow. The pills make me a little sick to my stomach even taken with food and I am so drained physically and emotionally but hopefully I can keep up the resting and just deal with it. Baby is measuring 35cm, so he's catching up to what is "usual" (though still on the smaller end) but will officially be considered full-term tomorrow. Which means his lungs are developed, all of his organs are functioning, and he's ready to make his entrance. Baby boy is welcome to wait until next weekend though because I set up a pregnancy massage on Saturday (my mother's day gift) and a pedicure next wednesday (my shower gift) and Dylan is going to VBS all next week. So after some pampering and me time I will be ready to never have any again for the next two years probably.

    That's so crazy that he could be here anytime now!! I can't wait! You'll have to let me know when I can come up after he is born (I promise I won't be any trouble and I can even buy and make dinner and clean, etc. for you. =]

    I love the new layout for the blog......and I love your updates (You too Jax). Let's have that boy wait a few more weeks tho, so your brother can be here when the baby comes out.

    Shani, your blog really makes me laugh--so cute the things you say. I can't believe it's almost time. It seemed to go so fast, but then, I'm not the pregnant one. I'm ready to help whatever you need for me to do. Hopefully Josh will be back when the little guy makes his entrance. I agree, snazzy new blog layout.

To Infinity and Beyond

By
Well beyond five years that is. February 22 marks our first date and somehow Shane even remembered that. Since I feel like a crumb-bum of a wife lately I set up a special little thing to show him how much these last five years have actually meant to me. (I get that it isn't our wedding anniversary but any day can be special so I wanted to make this special too) I wrote him a little love letter and put out five things that are meaningful in our relationship together, quite the mishmash if you ask me, but it works. In no particular order: 1. Motley Crue - We we to our first concert together over the summer to see Shane's favorite band and I got to get my 80's on while he got to relive the glory days. 2. The Spiderwick Chronicles - We went to see this movie with our nephews for our first official date. I think it's sweet that now the boys watch it all the time. 3. Coffee - We have shared many conversations, hours, and events all while drinking coffee. We both love it ...

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

By
My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Sisters

By
 Who knew that when I was a kid, forced to share a room with my arch enemy, that one day I would grow up and have an automatic best friend? I finally realize how important siblings are in your life as I watch my boys play together. Yes I make them share and play together and take care of each other. They will always be around no matter how sad or angry you make them. Heck I sat on my sister when she was inside a sleeping bag and my friends and I used to tease her *Jackie, she is so tacky...* but I think she's forgiven me. She came for an overnight trip last week to meet Warner and to help me out around the house when Shane first went back to work and I couldn't be happier to have her in my life. I can text or call or facebook her any time to tell her a funny story or ask her for advice. We're even attempting to take all of our combine 5 kids (three under two!) on an 800+ miles on way road trip in a few weeks. I didn't appreciate all the family time when I was younger b...
