School Spirit

Today is school spirit day!

Silly girl

Kamryn was being so silly before Awana Wednesday night that I just had to share....

30 Weeks

I am now 30 weeks! I went to see Kaykay yesterday for my 30 week check up and everything went perfectly. We are both measuring perfect so far and his heartbeat is also perfect. The only thing NOT great with the visit was the realization that I have gained 9 pounds in a month!!! Whoop-see! Thank goodness our gym membership is still active because I will LIVE there after Jack is born. :)

Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my OBGYN? Kaykay is the best doctor that I could have ever even imagined having. She always makes me feel great about the baby’s health and my ever expanding body without sugar coating anything in the process. She knew I was coming in yesterday so she brought us one of her son’s sweet baby blankets. Her son’s name is Jack and she wanted my Jack to have it. I know our Jack will love it! :)

Back to the 30 week update. Jack is now about 16 inches long and weighs a little over 3 pounds. His eyesight is continuing to develop, though it’s not very keen. Even after he is born, he will keep his eyes closed for most of the day and will only have a 20/400 vision (which means he will only be able to make out objects a few inches from his face). He will continue to pack on the pounds in the upcoming weeks at a rate of about ½ pound per week. Aside from his fast development and growth, Jack spends his days making faces, hiccupping, swallowing, breathing, pedaling, sucking his thumb, and kicking Mama! :)

I had a huge realization yesterday that we don’t have long now before we get to meet Jack. I understand that Jack will be here only when he is ready and that is what I want....I don’t want to rush him in any way at all. If we go to term, an induction will be scheduled for December 1st...giving us just 9 weeks to go. If he is anything like Kamryn, he will be ready at 37 weeks...giving us 7 weeks to go. I have felt further along this entire pregnancy so we will see how everything plays out. To say the least, I need to get his nursery ready, NOW!

We go back in two weeks for my 32 week check-up and sonogram!
We get to see our sweet Jack! :)

"Wayback Wednesday"

Today was Wayback Wednesday at school. Kamryn was a 60's hippie!

I attempted to teach her how to make a "peace sign" but she was not in the mood to listen and we were in a hurry so this is what she did for "PEACE".

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Tailgate Tuesday

Today was "Tailgate Tuesday" for Spirit Week at school. :)

Mismatched Monday

Today was "mismatched Monday" at school for Kamryn...silly girl loved putting on her crazy mismatched socks!

AWANA- Favorite T-Shirt Night

Wednesday was favorite t-shirt night at Awana. Kamryn wore a princess shirt, of course. Her Puggles class learned about how God made everything...God made the trees...the kind that have apples, nuts, etc. She had a blast!

...showing her new watch she got as a reward for brushing her teeth like a big girl. She chose one like Mama's, but pink....

Over the Weekend...

We had such a busy weekend that I am just now finding a moment to update the blog.

Friday afternoon, we had the homecoming parade. Kamryn enjoyed seeing the band, cheerleaders, and firetrucks!

"Go Whippets!"

Next on the agenda was the Ethel Homecoming. Kamryn really enjoyed seeing Makinzee dressed up like a princess. Congrats Mak!

When Ethel's Homecoming was over, we went to Kosciusko's Homecoming game. Even though we missed the Homecoming ceremony, we made it in time for the game. With Kamryn in tow, I am only able to stay through halftime. That's okay with this pregnant, tired mama though.

Early Saturday morning, dressed in PJs, we went to Raines's cupcake birthday party at the bakery. The kids decorated their own cupcakes...

Kamryn tasting her icing. Notice how compact her cupcake is....she mashed down the icing like play-doh....silly girl.

Then we were off to Tanner's dinosaur party at the Country Club.

...hunting for dinosaur eggs...

Even though Kamryn had a great time at both parties, I could tell she wasn't feeling like herself. Sure enough, later that afternoon, she had a fever and was complaining of her "head" hurting. (Which turns out was the area behind her ear.) Doctor said it was the sinus cavity behind her ear that was probably sore from a sinus infection. She is taking meds but is completely fine.

The best part of our weekend....was Kamryn's first trip to the movies! The Lion King-3D!

She did GREAT! Wore her 3D glasses, ate her popcorn, and watched the movie.

Mama and Daddy enjoyed it just as much as Kamryn!

Awana-PJ Night

Wednesday was PJ Night at Awana. Kamryn always has a blast dressing up but she really enjoys going to learn about Jesus with her friends! (or frans, as she calls them) :)

Next Wednesday is Favorite T-shirt Night and it starts at 6:30 at PBC!

28 Weeks

We are now entering the 3rd trimester at 28 weeks! Baby Jack now weighs about 2 ½ pounds and is almost 16 inches long!

He is acquiring many new skills with each passing day, he can blink his eyes, cough, suck, hiccup, see light that filters in his cozy home, and is also taking practice breaths. He is also settling into the proper position for birth (hopefully).

At my last appointment, I took my glucose test. (Fun, fun.) The drink itself is not so bad, it’s the part where I can’t eat or drink anything from midnight until the conclusion of the test that is so bad! :) I failed the first, 1 hour test. :( I expected that I would just because I failed the 1 hour but passed the 3 hour with Kamryn. So I went back two days later for the dreaded 3 hour test. I passed. :) Whew!

For the last couple of days, I have been SO TIRED! Just getting dressed in the morning is enough to send me right back to bed (if I had that option). Welcome to the 3RD TRIMESTER! :)

Finally Friday

It's finally Friday! :)

Kamryn went to school showing support of her local football team...GO WHIPPETS! Good luck in your game tonight!

Awana

Awana at PBC kicked off this Wednesday. It looks to be a promising and exciting year for us! Kamryn will be a Puggles again this year. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for our family and church!

Parkway Baptist Church
Every Wednesday night.
6:30-8:00pm.
Everyone is invited!

Crafty

I have been feeling super crafty lately. Since I am very limited on my crafting abilities, I have been trying to self-teach myself....which is exciting and frustrating at the same time. I've done tons of bows, some painting, and even some sewing. Here are some of my recent creations...

...pillow that I made and monogrammed for Baby Jack...

...pictures for Jack's room that I painted...


...I painted letters to match...

...again...

...I made this hair bow holder for Kamryn's room...

(she needed one soooo bad)

...and finally some of the many hair bows that I have made...

Go Whippets!

It's finally FRIDAY and the first home football game for the Whippets! We are super excited!

Me and my sweet girl before school this morning. (please excuse my fat, puffy, pregnant face)

So excited!!



GO WHIPPETS!
