It feels like Spring!

Wow, it is a gorgeous day outside today.. A little chilly of course but the sun is shining and it just looks beautiful. It feels like Spring, but we all know thats too good to be true..

Date night last night was nice. We ate some stuffed chicken and watched the ending of “Fools Gold” then I had to go lay in bed my back was killing me, and baby boy was kicking up a storm. So we watched a movie.. We ended up having to get Kyla last night it was the cutest thing ever - it was close to 1am when she called for us in the monitor so we went to get her. I’m not a co-sleeper, never have been never will be but when my kids have dreams or wake up in the middle of the night and climb into bed with me that’s fine and I’ll give them cuddles and last night Kyla was in the mood to cuddle. . . Not only cuddle but be RIGHT ON TOP OF ME!! She didn’t want to sleep she wanted to climb all over me, lay on top of me, jump on the bed and give me kisses. She apparently just needed to give Mommy and Daddy cuddles and kisses because when we put her back into bed she fell fast asleep almost immediately.

So hubby and I have been discussing getting a new vehicle. We need one an with baby #4 right around the corner now is the time we really need to think about it and figure things out. Which means if we do get a new vehicle, we’d also need to buy one BRAND new, get new car insurance, and we couldn’t just get any vehicle we’d need a van. With a big family I don’t think I’d trust a second hand van, we’d have to get new. It’s something we really need to do, and up until now things have been fine and dandy but now it’s about convenance. It’s something we have been thinking about… so I think it’s time we start looking! We won’t be purchasing until probably Fall or soon after but.. How exciting???



I skipped a few days!

Today I had my last prenatal appointment with my Family doctor. Starting April 2nd I’ll be seeing an OB at the hospital - like usual! All is well and fine, I went a week early for this appointment because of the fall and the fact I thought I had a UTI - I should have gone next Tuesday… But, I’ve gained 3lbs since my last appointment making my total weight gain thus far at 10lbs! Which is great considering the first 10 weeks I lost weight rather than gained it! I also asked him if he could pull up my ultrasound reports so we could clarify all my dates. My first ultrasound I was 13w,2d but baby was measuring 13w,5d… So he looked at my last ultrasound and baby was still measuring the same few days ahead so he went ahead and changed my due date from June 23rd to June 20th! Only a few days, and in reality the baby will come when he wants to and when hes good and ready! But, having 3 kids a full time working hubby and the need for grandma to come babysit while I’m in hospital we need to have a ball park… so within those few days we’ll be ready! I’ve never gone over my due dates so we’ll see how this goes! I’ve changed all my tickers, I’m not going to go back and change my belly pics… Just know from now on they will be 3 days ahead :)

Other than my doctors appointment today we had to go grocery shopping - again!!!! We dropped Jordan off at school and went on our way to the grocery store.. What an adventure - every time! We go about every two weeks and we spend a lot… I’m surprised that we manage to find places for all the food we have to buy.. It’s nuts. We came home I spent about 45 minutes trying to find places to put everything in the pantry, cupboards and freezer… and all is put away and good.. I tell ya we need another room for food! :)

Anyways, today is Peter’s day off. He’s making the kiddos some dinner.. him and I are going to eat a bit later. Date night for us tonight - dinner and a movie in the comfort of our own home.. Best dates ever! These days I don’t like going out to do much because I get some uncomfortable easily. I’d take watching a movie in my pillow top over going to a stuffy packed theater anyday! :)



Greatness…

I took these photos yesterday of Jordan and my belly. I have pictures of him like this with my belly when I was pregnant with Kyla. He was 2… It was beyond adorable. I need pics like this of the girls and my belly! (they wont be still long enough!) In these photos I am 19w, 3d… I’m getting quite big now.. I love it, I’m out of that “is she fat or is she pregnant?” phase. Although, people keep telling me that while my belly is growing nicely, I seem to be loosing weight everywhere else. I’m not going to complain, I love it! I hadn’t lost all my weight from Kyla/Ava seeing as how a month after I gave birth to Kyla I got pregnant for Ava so it was difficult, and after Ava was born to be honest I really didn’t care. I was a size 6 right before getting pregnant this time.. I did it at my own pace I didn’t care what anyone else thought or said I was comfortable being a size 6 after having 3 children. I’ll get back to pre-pregnancy I’m sure, but its not a huge priority for me. I’m happily married, I’m comfortable in my own skin.. I don’t have to be stick thin again… What is “plus size” now a days??? Poor Jessica Simpson is being MOCKED by everyone over her weight, and to me she looks great..I’m so tired of weight being huge news.. It’s really sad.

Dinner Thursday night was great. We went to Lonestar to eat… We first went to a place called “Amadaus” but we had to leave.. It was all weird food and there was NO WAY I’d be eating there! So, we went to Lonestar I got what I was craving - Southern Friend Chicken Fingers and my hubby got a Steak sandwich.. which looked soo good.. We then TRIED to share “Deep Fried Ice Cream” OMG…..WTF IS THAT STUFF??? Seriously, ew. I’d never tried it and can honestly say - NEVER AGAIN!!!! After that we went to the Arena and waited an hour and about 20 minutes (they started 20 minutes late) for the show to begin.. We were on the floor 2nd row.. It was AWESOME! The guys although I am 110% against everything they stand for were HILARIOUS. I laughed so hard I cried, and I laughed way more than my hubby who is actually a fan of the show. I really enjoyed myself, and I’m glad I went. It was over and we were home by 11pm… All kids were in bed, except Ava.. She woke up so Grammy brought her downstairs to wait for Mommy and Daddy. We cuddled with her for a little bit then went to bed… It was a really great night!

Ok, I’ve been getting a lot of lurkers on this site… Please comment! Especially if you have a site.. I really enjoy reading, and commenting at others sites… Especially when all my kids go to bed and I have no idea what to do with myself. So if you stop by, leave a quick comment and say hello :)
