Long weekend...

It was only 2 days, but this weekend was long! Two photo sessions and a brunch helped to make it better though. It ended with a search for plain green tshirts for the girls for Vacation Bible School. Not easy to find, by the way!

Playtime...

Apparently it is play time for all my kids! The girls are outside playing and the little one is kicking me! I thought I felt something last week when I was tieing the girls' shoes, but I wasn't sure. Today was repeated kicks! I guess the little one wanted to make its presence known!

Carrying on...

We are trudging through the first week without Jeff here. He has been gone for many 1,2 or 3 week outings since we moved here, but knowing that he won't be home for months is making it more difficult! The girls finished school on Monday so I've been trying to keep them busy. I convinced Madalyn that switching rooms would be fun and I figured we should do it now before she changed her mind! She had the bigger bedroom and didn't want to share with Amelia or the baby. So we moved Amelia into the bigger room and made a spot for the crib. Amelia was picking out toys that she thought the baby would like and put them in the crib. All the furniture is moved (and that may be why I'm so tired this week!) and almost all the pictures are hung up. I still need to help Madalyn organize (or throw away, my preference) her papers, artwork, etc. She is definitely a packrat! Tonight they have a babysitter so I can go to a photo session at the Barber's Point cottages. The weather looks like it is going to cooperate too!

Movies that make you cry...

You can add "Hannah Montana the Movie" to the list of movies that make you cry. Ok, maybe not everyone, but the movie made Amelia cry. It was too sweet!

Baby's First Outfit :)

Last weekend, we stopped by Children's Place and picked up something for the baby. I thought it was so cute and perfect to put in the baby's keepsake box.

Goodbyes...

After a long week of leaving, staying, leaving staying, the boat finally left on Friday. It was sad to see him leave but good for the guys to finally get the boat out to sea. The girls are handling it very well so far. I'm going to blame my crying on the pregnancy hormones! Today I'm much better and ready for the next 6 months to fly by! Last night we went to a "Wine & Whine" party. It was a very relaxing evening and a great way to take our minds off dad leaving!

Today I took the girls over to the Makalpa pool to play with the Perry girls. There was a rock wall and two diving boards. After seeing Elle jump in, Amelia decided that she could do it too. They had a great time. We even went to the McGrew pool after to let Madalyn swim some more. (The Makalapa pool goes up to 11 ft and Madalyn prefers to be able to touch although her swimming is getting much better).

Tomorrow the church is having a potluck and then we are taking the Perry girls to the Hannah Montana movie. Sounds fun huh...lol!! :)

Ultrasound

Today we had an ultrasound! Jeff was able to make it to the appointment too! We got to see the heart beating and the baby moving around. We could even see the little arms. The baby is measuring at 3.81 cm, 10 weeks, 4 days. That means we are on track for the due date of December 24th.
