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.

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 ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
