The Countdown Begins

I went to the doctor today and will now start going more & more frequently, which means the countdown has begun. I'm 27 weeks pregnant, and knowing that I will have a scheduled c-section, I know that I have no more than 12 weeks to go. Just a side note, can you believe that in 12 weeks, summer will be 1/3 of the way gone? Sigh...I'm ready for winter to scoot on outta here, it made a pathetic attempt this year and I would just rather summer come along so I can start complaining that I'm hot and miserable! Hehehe! Back to my appointment...I go back in 3 weeks for a final sonogram, the FUN one! This is the sonogram where you can see chubby cheeks and maybe hair and estimate how big the baby is-I can't wait.

We did have a blizzard a couple of weeks ago, this following weeks of 70 to 80 degree weather. Texas weather is impossible. This blizzard was a REAL one-visibility was down to almost nothing & it snowed and the wind blew all day. The next day, the calm returned and we went out and played in the drifts!






Jack's favorite cereal is Raisin "Graham"-he's always loved it but just recently started to actually eat the cereal & not just the raisins out of it. And, his beloved blankie is really tattered. He tells me all the time how much he loves it, but it's getting to the "strings and holes" stage...

I knew this day was coming-it's had several surgeries and just keeps going, but the actual material is getting so thin, I'm not sure he'll make it through another one! I'm not sure what to do-he's not ready to get rid of it that's for sure!

Here's blankie in his prime:


Lily fell the other day into the coffee table (OUCH) & busted open both the inside and the outside of her bottom lip. It was hard to get it to quit bleeding-every time she opened her mouth, it would start up again! It finally did & everything was all better...she still has a little bit of a fat lip from it today but it doesn't seem to bother her.



I have been very fortunate thus far into mommy-hood in that my kids don't get bad bumps and bruises very often. I'm so glad because it hurts my heart when they get hurt!

This is Macy & Jack's attempt to pull off Daddy's trick of blowing his hat off his head...they caught on pretty quick! Notice Jack doesn't have his nose plugged...maybe that would have helped?
