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.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

By
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?

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...

What the Happenings

Lincoln tried out Play-Doh for the first time a while ago. He really liked breaking it up into tiny pieces and trying to put it back in the container. And he didn't try to put it in his mouth too many times. As you can tell by the picture he got tired out from all the creativity pretty quickly so we'll try it again when he has a little more vigor for the squishy stuff. I think this picture is from our drive over to Richland a few weeks ago. We headed over there to visit Shane's grandma and the a bbq at his brothers house. The kids love pictures of themselves and Danielle took this picture of the both of them.  Waiting to get Shane's winter tires on the jeep, Lincoln had fun checking out the giant tires at Les Schwab. There was one big enough he could crawl into but he wasn't a fan of being shoved in there. He loves to climb and explore and get himself stuck, but only on his own accord. He does not like authority trying to tell him what to do (gee I wonder where ...
