17 weeks and going and going and going

Yup that's my first official belly shot for baby number 3, kid number 4. According to the baby books and  the internet the baby is over 5 inches now which makes sense because this week I started to feel the baby move! Yup little squirt is most active around 6-8 in the evening so far, or when I squish it too much. I'm still early on so I forget sometimes when I am bending over or holding Lincoln over my stomach and the baby retaliates. We will find out in a few more weeks what we are having and couldn't be more excited. If it's a boy we are pretty much set as far as the stuff part of a baby goes. I mean I do need to get a new Boppy and the consumables like diapers, wipes and pacifiers, but otherwise we are good. If this one is a girl then boy I will have trouble not buying headbands and ruffly outfits. At least narrowing down the sex will help us start talking about baby names. The morning sickness has subsided but I've been sick with a cold for almost an entire month. My last doctor's appointment was Nov. 10th and that was the day I started getting a sore throat. I got better for about a week or maybe a week and a half and then got a different cold or something and and completely miserable again. My next doctor's appointment is Dec. 8th... hopefully better by then.

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...
