27 Weeks (and 2 days) - Pregnancy #3

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a highlights post, including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from Kelly.  I did this with my pregnancies with Hadley and with Jack, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on. 
Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  27 weeks

Size of baby:  Baby Girl is 15 inches crown to feet - the size of a cucumber

Total weight gain/loss:  I've gained 18 1/2 pounds so far.  I hate being weighed now.

Maternity clothes:  Maternity pants, shirts, skirts, and cotton shorts and t-shirts

Gender:  A baby girl who is very active

Movement:  I think she's very active.  During my NST's every week, her movements are recorded, and she seems to really be moving in there.

Sleep:  I wake up two to three times a night to go to the bathroom.  I was hoping this wouldn't hit until my last trimester.

What I miss:  Sleeping on my back

Cravings:  Chocolate milk

Symptoms:   Back aches and super tired/sore feet

Exercise: I did pilates three or four times, and Jack and I walked to the park almost every day.

Belly Button in or out:  I don't want to talk about it.

Wedding ring on or off: On :)

Happy or moody most of the time:  I'm really working on being happy.  Really working on it.  Some days are better than others.

Looking forward to: Getting the glucose test that I have to take next week over with.

Best moment this week:   The days when Jack wasn't in teething pain :(
But, look at this super sweet shot my mom captured a week or so ago!

Here's my picture for 27 weeks--it's super blurry (I feel like I'm carrying her higher than I carried Jack), so I added one below it with my niece at her dress rehearsal...I'm not standing up straight, but the belly is still pretty obvious ;)

    YAY, for 27 weeks!! I know you'll be glad to get the glucose tolerance test over with. I'm sure it will be fine. Just keep putting your feet up when you can. Love you.

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting. ...

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

In the Beginning...There Was a Garden

Image
Y'all, I'm feeling the itch.  It's more of a tick, really.  We've got this huge backyard (which really is not very pretty right now...I'm sure the overcast weather isn't helping my view), and I am itching, ticking, jonesing to start a garden. I love flowers, but I'd rather plant veggies and fruit.  The problem is that I have no idea where to begin.  None.  I've searched and searched on Pinterest, and there are tons of blog posts and articles about gardening, but I'm having trouble just getting started.  What do I do first?  When do I plant? What kind of  soil?  How much sun/shade? Where do I plant? Side of the yard? Back of the yard? Along the fence? Out in the middle? What do I plant? Cucumbers, definitely.  Bell peppers, most likely.  But, what else? What's your favorite, easily grown fruit/vegetable? What pests do I need to worry about?  I also need to keep in mind that I have two ...
