39 Weeks

How far along? 39 weeks
Maternity clothes? of course

Sleep: As  much as possible, which is very little it seems.  I have been super uncomfortable pretty much all the time.  And this past week Lucas has been coming into our room quite a bit to sleep with us because of bad dreams :(

Best moment this week: We were able to get a couple good maternity family pics last weekend and Ben and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary!

Miss Anything? Sleep
Movement: Lots and Lots
Food cravings: Mac n cheese.  Why can't I crave healthy stuff :(
Belly Button in or out? Oh it's out there - which it hasn't done with the other two pregnancies :(
Wedding rings on or off? Off, they are wayyyyy to hard to get off.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Hopefully happy ;)
Looking forward to: Ben is in a friend of his' wedding this weekend.  So after Saturday I really really really hope Baby decides to make his/her debut!   But who knows, he/she will probably be fashionably late like the older brothers.....

Final Countdown

It was a very busy weekend.  Ben spent a lot of time helping my dad start building his new pole barn at their house and we had Grandma & Sam's birthday party.  Luckily we were able to sneak in just a little family of 4 time!

Family pictures at Glenwood Gardens

38.5 weeks! We are getting there!

Apparently I don't walk quick enough on our evening walks.  The boys had to sit down an wait for me at the end of our street HAHAHAHA.

Ben and I got to go out to celebrate our 7 year wedding anniversary this weekend :)

38 Weeks

How far along? 38 weeks
Maternity clothes? of course

Sleep: As  much as possible.

Best moment this week: I was able to get all of the boys clothes sorted.  It's so insane how many clothes in so many sizes 2 little boys can have!
Miss Anything? Nothing in particular.  Just anxious to have the baby and start to try to form life routines again....
Movement: Lots and Lots
Food cravings: Nothing specific right now.
Belly Button in or out? Oh it's out there - which it hasn't done with the other two pregnancies :(
Wedding rings on or off? Off, they are wayyyyy to hard to get off.

Eclipse

Ben was teaching Lucas about the eclipse that was happening.  Lucas was excited to hold the flash light and play the part of the sun.

Homemade projector :)

Pretty Cool

Eclipse in selfie mode

That evening we took Samantha out for an ice cream treat date for her birthday gift.  I think all three had a great time :)  Happy 3rd Birthday Sam!

37 Weeks - Full Term!

How far along? 37 weeks
Maternity clothes? yep yep

Sleep: As  much as possible.

Best moment this week: We had a really nice weekend with our friends in Lexington.  It was nice to squeeze in one more visit before chaos.
Miss Anything? Cold Weather - it's starting to get hot again :(  That and not feeling out of breath from walking up the stairs.......
Movement: Lots and Lots
Food cravings: I am always hungry!
Belly Button in or out? Oh it's out there - which it hasn't done with the other two pregnancies :(
Wedding rings on or off? Off, they are wayyyyy to hard to get off.

Looking forward to: Getting the last bits of baby gear organized/clean. 

 Here I am with all 3 babies at 37 weeks! It took Lucas 30 more days and Adam 35 more days to make their debut (with the help of modern medicine!)  Let's see how long baby #3 wants to keep up waiting.  Any guesses?!?!

36 Weeks - 9 Months!

How far along? 36 weeks
Maternity clothes? Counting down the days to non-maternity clothes!
Sleep: As  much as possible.

Best moment this week: The boys and I went to the zoo with my friend Sarah last weekend.  Ben stayed home and got the baby's room's baseboard all done!! So this week I was able to paint it and get the room organized(ish)! We got the hospital bags packed so I feel like we are finally in a good spot!
Miss Anything? Free time. There is never enough time in the day.
Movement: Lots and Lots
Food cravings: I am always hungry!

Hippie Boys

Natorps, a local nursery planted one of their fields with sunflowers for people to come take pictures with for free! So of course we had to take advantage.  Since Lucas has basically requested to live in his tie dye shirt, I figured nothing better and more hippie to wear in a field of sunflowers :)  Check out these sweet sweet boys!

Since the sunflowers have been here a while they were near the end of their life and we found a couple in the fields for the boys.  I love that they love to stop and smell the flowers :)

Soaking Up Summer

It's hard to believe that summer is coming to an end soon-ish and Baby #3 will be here!  We are trying to soak it all up and make sure the boys are having a great time!

Hiking with Ben at Keehner Park

Snack time while hiking might be their favorite part.

Ben and Lucas were invited to a little kids fishing fun evening with his friend Tyler's church.  Lucas had a blast.  He sure loves fishing!

And of course, when you go fishing with daddy, you kiss your fish (SICK!)

We made smoothies for afternoon snack the other day.  They were a hit as usual, but Adam might have worn more as a mustache that he ate :)

Papaw came to visit and gave the boys their horsey ride.

Lucas and I made a countdown chain for Baby #3's arrival.  Let's hope for my sanity that he/she is on time!

This peaceful looking guy has been getting up in the middle of the night again.  He has always struggled with sleeping.  Things are going to be rough with a newborn and him.  Hopefully the baby will sleep like Lucas did - like a champ! (fingers crossed!)

Back to the Zoo!

We love the zoo! So whenever anyone wants to go with us, we hit the road!  My friend Sara and her daughter came down this Saturday.  It was super fun.  Meredith is a couple months older than Adam.  All 3 of the kiddos loved looking at all of the animals :)

We didn't get to see the famous baby hippo because she was hiding behind her mom, but we saw the mom and dad really well which was super exciting!

Train Time!

Flamingo Walk

Playing in the mulch was so fun

Lucas and Meredith checking out the manatee

Merry - go - round time with my boys :)

Tie Dying with Mamaw

This week I thought it would be fun to try tie dying with the boys.  Of course I knew that I couldn't handle it on my own, so my mom came to help :)  We bought a dye kit a couple days earlier and then Lucas couldn't stop talking about it.  He couldn't wait to "ky-dye"

Adam got to help out for about 3 minutes before he made a major mess.

Lucas loved using all of the colors!

Rinsed out finished products

Washed and ready to wear! Gotta love my little hippie babies :)

35 Weeks

How far along? 35 weeks
Maternity clothes? Whatever I can squeeze in to at the moment.
Sleep: Whenever I can get it, which doesn't seem to be enough this week.

Best moment this week: Spending time at home with the boys. We know life is about to get crazy so it's not to get this time with the boys. Just playing in the pool/water table and spoiling them with some healthy popsicles every now and then!
Miss Anything? Free time. There is never enough time in the day.
Movement: Lots and Lots
Food cravings: Chocolate cake
Belly Button in or out? Oh it's out there - which it hasn't done with the other two pregnancies :(
Wedding rings on or off? Off, they are wayyyyy to hard to get off.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Hopefully happy ;)
Looking forward to: Slowly getting stuff ready for the baby. We have going home outfit options cleaned!
