Brand New!

Sweet Baby Boy!

31 WKS!

I am now EIGHT months! Very exciting! It is strange, I feel so close yet forever away from meeting this little one. I am sure once the pregnancy is over and I am holding that sweet little bundle of sheer joy, I will say it flew by. We have not settled on a name. I made a grave mistake. I created a poll on Baby Center, I do not recommend this those women are viscous! I know as long as we like it blah blah blah....... I just want the baby to like it too! I am having all the regular preggo symptoms: heartburn, backaches, pelvic pain, and so on and so forth. I no longer sleep at night, not so much fun. I am super hot, like heat radiating from inside! I did not experience this with Guice but did with EJ, must be a female fetus thing:). With EJ I slept with the a.c. full blast, it was December. Josh was so very cold he moved rooms! Now, almost June, it is much worse. Heat + no sleep = cranky Jess! We are in single digit count down! Unless, of course I go over which is a possibility. I went 10 days over with EJ, more than a month past full term. I do not want to focus to much on a date. This very well could be an August baby. She would be the only one of us without a "J" birthday month! My appointment with Dr. M is on Tuesday. Please be in prayer that I am measuring closer to 31 wks, that our baby is healthy.
A little bit about our monkey!
How your baby's growing:This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

This & That!

*EJ told us a couple of days ago that she needed $100 to spend on Hannah Montana. I had no idea she knew who she was. We do not have "shows" at our house. They are only allowed to watch certain movies, and only at nap time. So where she picked this up who knows!
*G then promptly asked for $100 and held out his hand.
*EJ & G like to have belly shots taken:).
*G had his first tick, he got mad that I took it off. He then asked for more!
*Emery Jai was bitten by fire ants, she never cried or complained! It hurt me way worse than her!
*EJ & G like to say "My Day!" Which to them means they get to pick out what movie we watch and what we eat. It is very funny to hear them fuss back and forth, they are now true siblings:)!
*EJ can't stand to pick up toys. She says anything to try and get out of it. Guice does not mind at all, he is my little helper!
*Guice loves Rollo's! This is super sweet to me because my Granny Nina loved Rollo's, she always had them in her purse. I also crave them like crazy when expecting.....it is just sweet.
*G can fill in words while we read, he says he is reading:). EJ is very quick to correct him, of course.
*EJ is having a fit for a dog. Memorial day at Papa & Memaw's there was a tiny mini-pin mix. EJ fell in love! That night while Josh and I were getting them to sleep. Josh noticed she was crying! I have to say Emery Jai is not a crier, screamer, yeller, you bet but she does not cry! I held her and she started telling us how badly she wanted a puppy, I thought her Daddy was going to go out right then and steal her one! I did what any good parent would do shift the responsibility. I told her that NeNa would be looking for a puppy store.
*G's favorite number is 2-8. Everything is 2-8.
*Emery Jai is very interested in time now. She ask what time it is 100 times a day, not at all annoying:)!

Memorial Day Weekend....

Well, it was a wash! It rained and rained! Saturday Joshua went fishing with his Dad and Brother. Josh left at 4 a.m.! CRAZY! Josh burnt to a crisp, he is fried. That night we went over to Papa & Memaw's for dinner, it was great. The kids loved hanging out with Ayden. Sunday, was like any other, church then nap then more church:). Monday we had big plans! We wanted to take the kids up on the mountain for a picnic and to ride the train. No such luck. It was wet and rainy! Instead we moved the kitchen table out of the way and had a picnic lunch on the floor! The kids thought it was the greatest thing! Josh took them to Wal-Mart to pick out what they wanted for lunch, they choose corn dogs and mac & cheese. We did decide that it would be very nice to be independently wealthy so we could both stay home! That would be the life:)!

Too Cool.....

The horse next door.....

The kids have made friends with our neighbors horse, and believe me she needs one. She is a good 30 lbs under weight, very sad! She is super sweet to the kids! They also have chickens which Guice loves, he has and will crawl over the fence if he gets a chance!
G is telling Daddy to "Look Look" at the chickens! EJ lovin' on her!

The kids can't get enough!

EJ basically on the other side of the fence!

Why is it????

That my kiddo's have all this (and more, shamefully) to play with...... yet, more junk...

And they would rather play with....

Potato Peels!

Yep, it is a blast!

Oh so much fun!
