Braves!

It is time for baseball again. We went to the Braves game last Tuesday night. It is the first one we have been to as a family this season so far. Shawn and Fox have been to a couple more games than Jayde and I have. I guess you can say I have been a little more picky about what games to go to, but who can blame me, big and pregnant and all?! We do love to go to baseball games as a family though. So I hope this new little guy comes out liking baseball.

Baby Shower!

My very good friends and visiting teachers Kinsey and Kristen are so nice and threw me a baby shower this morning. We had a great time. Thank you Kinsey and Kristen. You are so sweet. I am grateful to you for all you do for me.

Here are some random pictures of the shower and who was there.

Thank you everybody who came to the shower, for all the nice things I received and the gift card to Babies R Us.

4 Weeks To Go!!!

Ok, so NO picture is a good picture of me these days, but I thought I would post this because in exactly 4 weeks from today our 3rd little baby is going to be with us. I am scheduled for a c-section early in the morning on May 21st, a week before my due date, May 28.

Thanks to Fox's wonderful photography skills today, I have this wonderful picture so you can see just how big I am. Yeah, I am pretty huge. I don't know how much more stretching I can take, but I know this last month this little guy is going to gain a lot more weight. I am a little frightened by that because even though you think you can't get any bigger, YOU CAN!!!

Jayde Is Just About Potty Trained ( I Hope)!!!

I wasn't going to start potty training Jayde until after our Easter trip, but she decided to start going on the potty on March 30th. Since she decided to actually use the potty and I already had a treat bag for her, I decided there's no time like the present. So she had been doing really good until we came home from our trip and decided to pee all over the house.

Well I had decided to give Jayde and Fox (because Fox can't be left out) a treat everytime she went on the potty, but since that stopped working, I decided to give Jayde a treat only when she went potty, Fox a treat when he went potty, and me a treat when I went potty (you get the picture). That did the trick (so far). Anytime Fox needed to go, she threw a fit and said she had to go (because SHE can't be left out). You see the trick there! Since I started doing that, she pretty much has only had about 2 or 3 accidents in the last week, in the pee department anyways. Going #2 is a different story though.

Fox seemed to be a lot easier to potty train than Jayde has been. It is probably because I am huge and pregnant and tired physically and dealing with both Fox and Jayde all day instead of just Fox while Jayde was only a few months old (they couldn't fight when she was an infant). My goal is to have her totally potty trained by the time I have this baby. Cross your fingers for me!

Easter!!!

This year we went with a group of friends up to a cabin near Pigeon Forge, TN. We had a great time playing games and hanging out with our friends during the evenings. During the days we went down into Pigeon Forge and the surrounding towns and had some fun. Friday we went miniature golfing with Kevin's family.

Most of the time it was total chaos, but the kids had fun.

Saturday we went to some caverns. This picture is taken just before Jayde made me fall forward and charge like a bull into somebody's back side. Good thing he was there or I would have fallen on my belly. I am a little heavy in the front these days and Jayde sitting on my leg made me lose my balance completely. It was a little embarrassing.

After the caverns, Fox had a blast riding on a go cart with Shawn. He had been excited all day to ride one and wanted to go again.

Since Jayde was not old enough for the go carts, we found some other little rides for her. In this picture she is riding on a balloon ride that spins. I think she is getting a little dizzy in this picture.

Later at the cabin all the kids got to go on an easter egg hunt. Here is Fox excited about finding so many eggs.

In the morning the Easter Bunny came to our room. Jayde is showing off some of her things she got.

We had a lot of fun.

Twinkle Twinkle ABC!

I just thought this was pretty cute. Jayde can sing the ABC song and I was trying to get her to sing if for the camera. Well, she decided to do her own thing...

Fox!

I took Fox in to his 4 year annual check up on February 20. He had to have a vision, teeth, and hearing test done in case he got picked to go to school for the Georgia Pre-K program. (Which he pretty much won't be picked because we are not in the right school district.) Well he didn't pass the hearing test in his left ear. It is a test where you have to raise your hand if you hear the beeps. They told me I needed to take him to a specialist to get checked.

So I called Shawn and told him Fox couldn't hear the beeps in his left ear and in the back ground Fox says, "I heard it mom." I asked if he heard in both ears and he said he did. I asked why he didn't raise his hand and let the doctor know, and he just said he didn't know. When I set up the appointment with the Children's Health Care of Atlanta, I found out he had to be sedated for the test, which I was not excited about. So today I went back to his regular doctor and had him checked again. I am really glad I did because he heard all the beeps in both ears.

So I am happy to say that I don't have to drive into Atlanta to have my little boy sedated for a test that I really thought he didn't need anyway.
