Playing Catch UP... Alaina Turns 6!

EVERY time we would ask

Alaina what she wanted for

her birthday...

All she would say was,

"a wand that does real magic"

Trying to explain to an almost

6 year old that those don't really

exist was semi-difficult.

The best I could come up with

was a Princess Presto wand.

From the show 'Super Why' 

it has around 16 sayings

and lights up! She loves it :)

(See the hospital bracelet on her sweet arm?! The poor thing

had a knitting needle in her hand and somehow fell

on it, puncturing the back of her throat! ER here we come!)

The intensity is so Alaina... and

note the pouting sister in the background!

She wanted to wear the crown... poor thing ;)

Unwrapping her first big girl Bible.

Veggie Tales! She was ecstatic... can't you tell :)

Finally gets to play princess! Stinker...

Ever since Alaina was little she

would cry when we would sing her

Happy Birthday... VERY sensitive

to sounds.

Not this year :)

Doing a pretty cute job trying

to blow out her candles :)

I love this girl!!!

Here are the Many Faces of Alaina...

I just laugh every time I look at this!

Out of the 100 + photos I took

for her 6 year photos...

maybe only 6 turned out.

Oh well!

Happy Birthday to my sweet

little 'Lainie Pie'

I love you more than you could

ever imagine!!!

If You're Cheap Like Me...

...and you don't want to spend the money

on an overpriced water table for

the kiddos.

Then just do what I did...

Take an over sized rubbermaid

container and some bowls

and cups that you already have

fill them with water and

let them have at it!

This kept them occupied for

a good hour,

until Addie dumped all of the 

water onto Alaina.

Then it was time to come

inside!!

Can't decide...

I have just over 7 weeks

left of this pregnancy!

That sounds so crazy to 

type out!!!

I cannot decide on how 

I should decorate this

little guys room!

I'm not a fan of overly themed

rooms for babies.

I like classic and functional

with a bit of whimsy and color.

I'm just not sure... I can't seem to 

commit to one thing.

Originally, I was thinking

woodland themed decor...

using the colors

cream, chocolate

with bits of green, red, yellow and blue.

Then I saw this and

am now thinking a blue would

be fun too!

Ahhhh... I don't have 

a lot of time to over analyze this

guys room, but yet I sit 

here undecided!

I want to buy the fabric

so I can start sewing some things...

Speaking of sewing.

It is really hard to come up with

handmade stuff for the little guy!

I found these pants and 

thought they were so cute!

 (Anna Maria Horner)

First of all couldn't you just eat

him up he is so dang cute!

Secondly, those pants are

darling! Match it with a onesie

that has a fun applique & you've got 

yourself a fun boys outfit!

I think I can get away with this

at least until he is 2 :)

So I have been searching Etsy for

some extremely fun fabric 

to make some pants.

I'm also going to try and

make some fun burp cloths too.

Like I said I only have just 

over 7 weeks left...

so I better get to deciding

which fabric I just can't live without!

Quick update...

My heart Echo looked fine...

nothing to be worried about.

&

I do not have gestational diabetes :)

Snugly...

Even though she is 4 I still

get random moments of 

snugly time!

I love it and since

I am never in any pictures,

I am trying to make an effort

to take a few random shots of

me with my baby's :)

 

26 Weeks

Yay, I am 

26 weeks today...

Can't wait to meet this

little guy :)

My EKG came back

normal...

Can't remember if I

mentioned that my heart

has been beating weird??

Well, it is still having moments

of weirdness. It's really hard

to explain, but the hubby felt

my pulse and said it was all over

the place. So, tomorrow I go in to the

heart center again for an

Echocardiogram...

an ultrasound done on

my heart.

Everything is probably fine,

but my doctor

just wants to be on the safe

side. So I can't argue with him

on that! I did read that

 pregnant woman can

have abnormal heartbeats,

due to the fact that there is so

much blood your heart has

to pump around your body,

it just makes it harder for your

heart. So I'm hoping that is the case!

I'll let you know :)
