Happy 7th!

This is a picture from our honeymoon in Jamaica 7 years ago. My how the time flies! Who is this young couple? Happy Anniversary, honey!

Happy Friday!

Have a great weekend!

Third Trimester Baby!

I am now officially in the last trimester of pregnancy. This pregnancy has definitely flown by and I'm sure our little baby girl will be here before you know it! I am still feeling fine and she is doing well also. Here are some pictures from our 28 week ultrasound. We had another one to make sure my placenta had moved out of the way of my cervix so that we could have a "normal delivery" instead of a c-section. Having never had a c-section before, I definitely was hoping that it had moved and luckily it had! She is breech currently, but has plenty of time to turn around before she comes into this world. She weighs a little over 2 pounds and looks totally healthy. I passed my glucose tolerance test as well so I am free to partake in the Christmas cookies. I would definitely be a cranky pregnant lady without being able to cave into my cravings!

Profile of her face

Jackson and Mia are getting excited for the new baby to come. Mia really cannot wait to hold her and she wants her to share rooms with her (not sure she understands the sleeping patterns of infants!) Grant and Liam know that their is a baby in my tummy, but whenever they look at my belly they want to lift my shirt up to "see" the baby. We are discussing names and have several that we like. I think girl names are way harder than boy names. Any suggestions are welcome, though!

Look at this face

So adorable!

Spooky Children's Museum

Kathy and I intended to take the kids to the Zoo and celebrate Zoo Boo for Halloween, but mother nature refused to cooperate. Instead we decided to celebrate at the Children's museum. Jackson and Mia wore their costumes and I think they all had a good time. I bought year-long passes plus two so that when family comes in to visit we can all go to the museum for a year. Now that the twins are no longer free, it was really cheaper to go for the yearly pass. With winter coming, I am looking forward to taking Grant and Liam only when Jackson and Mia are in school and being able to focus on them more while we are there. Here are some pictures we took that day.

Halloween

We had a good Halloween this year. Jackson and Mia really enjoyed trick or treating, but Mia was definitely scared of all the people in masks and asked to go home multiple times after seeing a little 11-year-old in a skull mask (she practically climbed up me to get away from him!) We had intended to take the twins out this year, but unfortunately Liam was sick with a double ear infection and a sore throat so he was in no mood to trick or treat. They are still young enough to not know the difference, so we left them at home with Matt's parents and they helped Papaw pass out candy (which I think the most definitely enjoyed). Mia wanted to be Dorothy again and her costume still fit so we went with that again and Jackson was a dinosaur.

Hope everyone else had a great Halloween!
