Bump Day: 37 Weeks

37 weeks Since Carson is no longer in school I am bringing him and Betsy to my doctor’s appointments.  Which hasn’t been bad, we even stop for donuts on the way since it’s so convenient and it’s a fun thing for the kids (and me!) before sitting in the doctor’s office.  This last appointment was … [Read more…]

The big event of the week was Carson’s last week of school!  He’s had a fun time this year and I’m so glad that we had him in the program.  On the morning of his last day we got out of the car and he say, “Yay!  School!”.  Probably not something I’ll hear from him … [Read more…]

Not enough went on this week that I feel like I need a day-by-day account.  My most favorite part was a trip to the Zinnecker lake house over the weekend.  We had a great time and I enjoyed it more knowing that in a few weeks I will be tied to a newborn, but for … [Read more…]

Oh man, I am late on this one.  I wrote some of this post last week when it was fresher on my mind, but in going through pictures I had a hard time remembering when I’d taken some of the pictures.  Thank goodness they’re in chronological order and have dates on them.  Otherwise, I’d be … [Read more…]

Pictures will have to do this week.  I’m writing this too late to remember much of anything.  Most of the pictures are from the weekend since I didn’t have any room on my phone to take more before I moved the pictures to the computer.  And most of the fun stuff we did was over … [Read more…]

Bump Day: 33 Weeks

I had an appointment yesterday.  I had both Carson and Betsy with me and they did great.  Carson and Dr. Philips were fast friends!  When she was measuring me and checking the baby’s heartbeat Carson was a little weirded out, and kept asking if I was all done.  He also kept asking after we left … [Read more…]

Monday: Carson had the day off of school.  While I originally planned to take the kids to the zoo, I opted to get groceries and do some stuff around the house instead.  On the way home from errands I stopped to get lunch for me and the kids.  Betsy fell asleep just as we got … [Read more…]

The good news is that on Monday night Carson pooped in the potty for the first time!  He got a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles as his reward.  The bad news is that he hasn’t gone since.  At all… On Tuesday night Ben and I got to go to a short parenting seminar with … [Read more…]

We spent the week fighting Betsy’s ear infection, and she spent it fighting taking any and all medications.  I finally started giving her the antibiotics in chocolate milk and that seemed to work well. On Monday night Carrie, Shallan and the girls came out for dinner since all of our husbands were travelling.  It was … [Read more…]

On Tuesday I started going to a book study, Bringing up Boys, thanks to some encouragement from Lore!  I stopped going to the last class after one Tuesday when Carson was sick.  I’d just started to feel a little like we were doing too much, rushing around in the mornings Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and … [Read more…]
