Everything has been going good around here! I am really getting to the end of this pregnancy! I feel like I am VERY close to the end actually. I went to the doctor yesterday and had a sonogram that showed everything is going good. The baby measured 7 lbs 7oz (sonograms can be off by a pound one way or the other), but if that is an accurate measurement and I make it to my due date, I guess we are looking at another 8
pounder.....which is fine, because I can't imagine handling and changing a TINY baby. One downside to having (not huge) but bigger babies is that they don't seem to stay little long enough!!
The next week or so is so full that I know it is going to fly by!
Saturday~ The kids will be with my sister, so, Matthew and I are going to do some stuff around the house that I would like to have done before the baby gets here.
Sunday~ We are scheduled to take breakfast for our Life Group, Matthew is teaching our class, and I am teaching the girls' class.....then we will head to my daddy's house for lunch. We don't have church this Sunday night, so, I am sure we will do more stuff around the house Sunday evening.
Monday~The girls and I are going to visit my granddaddy with my mother and sister.
Tuesday~ I haven't decided yet if we are going to try to make it to the movie at the mall at 10:00 and then Terrific Kid Tuesday after, but we are planning on meeting some friends at the Stone Center on
JSU's campus for the children's theater. It is at 2:00 and they are going to be performing The Tortoise and the Hare. We went last year and the kids LOVED IT!! It was Little Red Reading Hood...yes, that isn't a typo it was "Reading Hood" The story is geared toward making kids interested in reading....I am assuming this year will do that too...(this year the dates are June 23-27 @ 2....tickets are $5 for anyone who is interested....I highly recommend it)
Wednesday~ Matthew's sister-in-law and our
nieces and nephews are going to be in town and we are going to go spend some time with them and Matthew's mother and grandaddy.
Thursday~ I have another doctor
appt. I will be 38
wks 2 days!!!
Friday~ I don't think there is anything specific that we have planned, but I am sure I will still be "nesting" and I will probably have a million things to do around the house! I may try to get the kids to Oxford Lake to play in the water at some point.
That is about as far as the plans go! I know it may not seem like too much each day, but just trying to do one thing or go one place is pretty exhausting right now! I really want to fit all I can in for the girls because I know there will be a while that we are "stuck" at home!
It has been a while since my last post and we have added yet ANOTHER addition to our family! We got a puppy! He is a Blue
Heeler and we have had him a couple weeks now. We haven't really named him yet. Avery said his name is Luke (sorry Crystal.....we got him right after Luke's birthday party) But now she is saying his name is Buddy, but when she is calling him she just says "Come here New Puppy".
Raegan calls him Baby Puppy. So.......poor thing isn't going to know what his name is! The first couple days....well, really nights, with "New Puppy" was pretty rough....it was like we had brought a newborn home! Matthew had to get up with him because he was whining. He has been outside for about a week now and I like him
alot more!
hahaha.....
I can't really think of anything else to add right now and I need to go fold some laundry before Avery tells someone again, "We have 2 couches.....one for us to sit on and the other is for laundry." (
atleast it was just my sister she said that to.....but, now I am telling all of you...oh well)
I will try to post again before the baby is born.....but judging the timing of my last couple of posts, it doesn't look promising!!
