Guess the stats

Come guess baby #3's stats (click the banner to go to the game).


Some hints...
*At my 16 week ultrasound the tech peeked and it looks like a boy.
*M was 1 week early exactly, she was 7, 2 and 19" long.
*R was induced on his due date due to high blood pressure and showed up one day late, he was 7, 13 and 20" long.
*Baby was measuring 5 days ahead at my 13 week ultrasound, I've never had a baby measure ahead before and I think they may be a few days off on my edd.

Scrapbook Friday

Well, I have a pounding headache right now, so I'm going to make this short & sweet...
Britt has a new template pack out this week, Hang 'em High Vol.2. Here's my LO, also entered in her Everyday Magic challenge over at SM, scrap the latest pictures you've taken.

Big long credit list here

Have a good Easter weekend if I don't get back on to post before then!

Pictures from Sunday

It's been SO nice here these last couple days. Sunday after church (and rest time) we all hung out in the back yard for a couple hours. I mostly lounged in the grass and watched the kids and Matthew play, but I played too, with my camera. :) We started off playing with all this bubble stuff that Aunt Lyndsey brought over for R. I think we went through 3 jars of bubbles! lol (I played with the bubbles too, so I only took a few pictures when we were almost done with those). Thanks Aunt Lyndsey, they were a lot of fun!

Then the kids helped Matthew water the plants. We have a drip system, but our lemon tree that we planted last weekend was looking a little dry, and then the kids had to water everything. lol
I really like this one for some reason.

And I thought this was a funny little series (click on it to make it bigger)
M joined me on the grass for a little bit, this is what I did most of the afternoon, it was GREAT!

Then Matthew got the baseball stuff out. M is signed up for T-ball, and she had a great time when she played last year, but none of her friends at school are going to play, and she keeps saying that she doesn't want to play anymore. Sorry kid, I already paid for it, you're playing! lol I think it's mostly that her friends aren't going to play, but also she's SUCH a perfectionist! She hates to do things that she's not good at (and she doesn't get that hitting the ball 1/3 of the time is really good! lol). She'll have a great hit and be all excited, and then the next time she'll miss or hit the T and she'll throw the bat down and say she doesn't like baseball and she's not good at it. She's like that with everything she does, and she has an older cousin who's the exact same way.

Anway, here are some baseball pictures...

I liked the motion in this one even though you can't see his face

Another one that I just liked for some reason

We had such a fun time just hanging out in our backyard and playing with the kids all afternoon, it was a great day!


Today was even warmer, it got up to 80 in the shade in our backyard, that's unheard of around here!! The kids and I hung out back there some, but they got bored without daddy to play with and kept whining that they wanted to go inside. I had all the windows open all afternoon, so it was nice in here too. I'm so bummed it can't stay like that!

And speaking of weather, tomorrow is opening day and a big rain storm is supposed to hit SF, I'm going to be so sad if they get rained out!! Crossing my fingers that maybe the weather man will be wrong!!

In Thursday Night Tradition...

Just for my Thursday night peeps... I had to dig up the blue cookies from when we found out with R (I'm too lazy to actually make blue cookies right now lol).


I went in for a kidney/bladder ultrasound on Friday. I had a great tech and even though he wasn't supposed to he peeked at the baby. It looks like we're having another boy (but I'm only 16 weeks, so we'll double check at my 20 week ultrasound soon), which totally surprised me, I thought for sure it was a girl! That will make me 0 for 3. lol

It was a really long ultrasound, and they even brought the radiologist in for some of it to watch instead of just sending him the pictures. The tech told me I have "fluid on the kidneys" which he said is not super uncommon during pregnancy and could cause bleeding. I also have funny shaped kidneys, which could be normal for me, but it sounds like it's something they'll keep an eye on (and seeing as it's me, I'm betting on it being normal lol). The radiologist said one of his kidneys is the same way and he watched it for 5 years before he decided that was just normal for him.
I still have to go back to the doctor to get the official results in a couple weeks and find out where we go from here, but I feel so much better knowing that there's some sort of explanation for what's been going on, and it didn't hurt that I got to peek at the babe too!

Scrapbook Friday

Back with another addition of Scrapbook Friday. This week Britt has a great new Easter/Spring kit out called Bunny Foo Foo. It's a super cute kit full of fun Easter and spring stuff! I don't feel like I did the best job on my page... I redid the whole thing after my first attempt (which was embarrassing!), and it's better, but I don't know... It's just not great to me. Anyway, no reflection on the kit, which is great as always!! Also, as always, there's a bonus alpha (the white one on my page) included in the DL this week only, so go check it out!


Be sure to vote in my poll if you haven't already! :)

Take my poll!

I want to know what everyone thinks we're having this time. Leave me a comment after you vote if you want, I'd love to know who's voting for what. :)

That's a BIG Avocado!!

The kids and I have been checking out this website to see how the baby is growing each week. It's not exactly perfect, but I think it gives the kids a better idea than just telling them "it's 4.6" this week..."
So, this week the baby is an avocado. When I showed the kids M looked at my belly for a minute and then back at the screen, then she said "that's a big avocado in there!". Yep sweetie, that's what happens when there's already been 2 babies in there before this one! lol

Still no news on what has been going on with me. I saw a urologist today and he's sending me for ANOTHER ultrasound, this time on my bladder. It doesn't seem like anyone has much of an idea of what happened (or is still happening??), but I'm not in pain right now, so I'm trying not to worry. They all keep saying things like, "well, it could be this, but probably not because of this...". It's getting a little old.


I'll be back tomorrow with a Scrapbook Friday post.
