35 weeks


Here we are at 35 weeks! I am feeling a lot of Braxton Hicks that are really uncomfortable. Sometimes when he moves, it makes my pelvis hurt badly! I guess relaxin is helping my lower back pain because it has definitely lessened. Sleeping has been difficult due to having to use the bathroom and refill my water multiple times a night. Getting comfortable has been interesting as well. Sleeping on my right side with my knees up and head elevated has been the best way to go! I am usually super hot. The anticipation is building everyday to meet this little guy. 
I am anxious to see what sweet face will fill this 4th square. 

My next appointment will be Monday, October 19 at 1. My regular Obgyn actually left early for her maternity leave and won't be back until after January. So, I am excited to be with the doctor that delivered Paxton. She is moving practices and was not accepting new ob patients. I sure lucked out because she is wonderful! 
November 12 at 7:15 a.m. is Huxley Thane's scheduled birthday. We will see if he decides to sit tight until then!

Motherhood is...

Image
Mother’s Day has come and gone. We got up again today. We choose daily to pour ourselves out and into our children. As we drink our reheated coffee and wait for the clothes to run through another re-fluff cycle, (because maybe we will fold them this time when they’re done...) our minds drift to thoughts about motherhood- Motherhood is thinking you’ll never sleep again, but you’d do it 4 times over in a heartbeat. Motherhood is folding a fresh pile of laundry and finding it hidden under a bed after they’ve “put it away”.  Motherhood is 4am wake up calls with requests for you to turn on the light so they can use the bathroom, or get a drink of water, or help them find a missing blankie.  Motherhood is wondering if the sibling rivalry will ever stop-he looked out MY window, she touched MY spot on the floor, they won’t stop breathing in my space... Motherhood is your adventurous two year old letting himself outside and uprooting the fresh flowers you just planted-only ...

Steadfast love

Image
I can see my child glaring at me in my peripheral- A stare with storming eyes and pursed lips. I'm not looking in that direction on purpose because of the tears that are welling in my eyes. Continuing in the busyness of cleaning the bathroom makes it appear that the words being expressed don't sting like a hornet, piercing my heart. Something along the lines of, "You're the meanest mom ever. You don't love me. You don't want me to have anything I want..."  Ironic that these words are expressed as I am literally elbow deep in a toilet. Cleaning urine up is the last thing on my list of what I had planned to do with my Sunday evening. Yet, I do this out of love. As my heart is hurting, my mind began to wonder. Is this how I make Jesus feel? I quickly transform into a duck- growing waxy feathers and let the splenetic banter roll down my back. While I truly believe that there is a time for our children to see the real effects of how hurtful their words ...

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...
