30 weeks

How far along: Here we are at 30 weeks along! Little Huxley has been transverse for as long as I can remember. He decided to give some relief and turn head down for a bit the other day. That was short lived! He must be super comfortable! 

Baby: weighs about 3.1 pounds (about the weight of a butternut squash) and is measuring about 17 inches in length. I don't have a ton of heartburn like I did with the other two boys, so we will see if the old wives tale is correct with lots of hair=heartburn. 

Weight gain: [start (125) now (150)] 25 lbs

Cravings: Greek yogurt, apples, a good burger. Trying to eat healthily! Lots of fruits and veggies. Protein. Limited sugar (passed the pregnancy glucose test by 1 point...) and caffeine. 

Feeling: I go between feeling full and feeling like I've lost weight, but have steadily gained. More tired at this point because I have been waking up thirsting to death at night and inevitably have to pee. 

Really looking forward to meeting this little guy! We haven't moved yet, so since we don't know how long our house will be on the market-we have been getting little things together for what will be his room if we are still here in November! I haven't really put together a nursery, so this is fun! Pinterest is my bff. We love looking around our property and house to find things to repurpose. 

We are really cherishing this last go around at pregnancy. Trying not to complain, but rather enjoy every little minute we are blessed with this unexpected little boy. Sure, there are aches and discomforts, but the excitement far outweighs those. Tums are a necessity! We can't wait to see how he will mold into our family, and for the kiddos to meet Huxley.

Gentry Zoo

To celebrate H-bugs first birthday, we went to the Gentry Zoo on Monday! She loved it. Both her and Malachi are big time animal lovers. I'm not sure where they get that from ;) Haly kept her eye on the Emu's the entire drive. She did not like them. There's this look she gives when she's not sure of a situation, and the birds definitely got that look. We named this guy Ted. Doesn't he look like a Ted? We aren't sure what he is, so we named him. The kids and I flipped out when he decided to stick his entire head in our car before we could roll up the window. He drooled on my skirt. The nerve! This Camel also stuck his entire German Shepherd sized head in our window! The best experience by far was the Zebras. Malachi just puckered up and laid a smooch on this guy. When we told him to do it again he informed us that it was "yucky" and then proceeded to scream "IT'S A WOLF"-or an Alpaca...with his head in Donovan's window with the most hil...

A whole year with the little ladybug

Image
I know this is a little late, but we've been a little busy :) July 10th, 2009 at 12:36 a.m. 6 lbs, 12 oz. I cannot believe my little girl is already one! It seems like she's still just a baby, and she is my baby! Going through the parenting with Malachi, I didn't realize how much they really change. It seems like in just a few weeks, she exploded into a new person. *She is 18.4 lbs. and 27.5 inches long. *She has a head full of hair now that can be fashioned into rubber banded pigtails (horns). She will NOT keep bows in. She will eat them. *She is walking all the time and everywhere. *She is climbing on the couch, our bed, up stairs and any chair she can reach. *She has 6 teeth, 2 bottom and 4 on top. *She has kicked the bottle except for night time. Even then, sometimes she's so tired she just rolls over and goes to sleep. She's having a hard time drinking from a sippy cup because of how fast it comes out-she always spits it everywhere. *She eats ever...

Quiet as a church mouse

The idiom “quiet as a church mouse” definitely gives off some negative connotations. First thoughts are-why would a mouse be lurking in a church? The short answer to that is definitely goldfish crackers and warmth. Another is -Eww. Rodents. They’re so...rodent like. My nick name is Meg-a-moo, or Moo for short. This was lovingly assigned to me from origins unknown. No, My cries did not imitate that of a cow when I was a baby-It just seemed like a fitting name. In researching the starting point from hence “quiet as a church mouse”-it is clear that this, much like my nick name, has no definite origin. It is a well known fact, however, that mice are meek. They make little noise on their own and scavenge for food and a place to make their home. In the 16th century, churches did not store food-whereas, here in 2018, the kids literally CANNOT go more than an hour without sustience. Enter Goldfish crackers. Cue mice. I am a Children’s Minister at a church here in Fayetteville. The job desc...
