Long Time No Blog

It's been 2 months since I last posted an entry. Bad, bad blogger. I didn't even post pictures when Gage was born! Bad, bad mommy. I honestly have no excuse. Other than I'm busy. And tired. He is still waking up at least once, sometimes twice a night. And even though I'm only up with him about 30 minutes at a time, it still just wipes me out. The other 2 boys were sleeping through the night by the time I went back to work, so this is taking some getting used to. Good thing that sweet boy is so cute! Poor thing has his 2nd ear infection already...I think he's on the fast track for tubes, but we shall see. Luckily he is like his brothers and they don't seem to bother him too terribly bad.

This is random, but I wanted to add this picture because it makes me laugh everytime I see it. Last month while I was at bunco, Terry took this picture of all of them. I think it speaks for itself.

I love these boys!!

My 3 Boys

A Day at the Dentist

Well, since the last time I posted we have welcomed Mr Gage. BUT, before I post pics of him, I have to post the pictures of Grayson's first trip to the dentist (and I have to upload the pictures to the computer).
I scheduled dental appointments for both Grayson and Griffin for the week before their little brother's arrival. I had been told before that you should take them to the dentist when they turn 3. Well, when I went to schedule the appt, they told me that they start seeing children as soon as their teeth start coming in (6 months or so). So, needless to say, I scheduled the appt for Griffin as well. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pictures of him because I had to hold him down the entire time. Fortunately, the hygienist worked incredibly fast and it only took about 3 minutes. It helped that he was screaming, so his mouth was wide open and she had easy access to his teeth.
Grayson, on the other hand, did great. The office is a pediatric dentist office, so the rooms were equipped with TV's on the ceilings playing cartoons. So, he just layed there watching "Robots" and did everything she told him to do. He was so excited when he got done. He told everyone all day that he went to get his teeth cleaned. Hopefully he always stays so excited to go to the dentist.

 

35 weeks

Tomorrow I will be 35 wks pregnant with my 3rd little boy. I had a dr appt today and had another sonogram due to the fact that I am measuring so big. I can't say I'm real surprised because I measured so big with Griffin as well. With Griffin, I consistently measured 4 wks big; this time I have consistently measured 2-3 wks big. According to what we saw today, the bambino is indeed still a boy. Terry jokes about it coming out a girl...not gonna happen. Also, he apparently takes after his daddy...his head is measuring 3 wks big. It looks great structurally, just big. Big brains I suppose :) As of now, he is weighing in at about 6 lb 1 oz, which means if I go another 4 wks as planned, he could be an 8 lb baby, making him my biggest so far. In all honesty, I'm hoping he makes an early debut. Healthy of course, but man....4 wks seems like so far away!

I'm Alive...

Oh. My. Word. It's been more than a month since I posted on here. Sheesh! In my defense, it's been a busy month. We sold our house and bought a new one, which is why I've been MIA. I'm feeling completely overwhelmed with everything....oh, and there's that whole part of expecting a baby as well. I feel like there is so much to do in the house and it needs to get done, but I'm really not doing all that much to get it there. My doctor put me on bedrest about a week ago due to the fact that I'm already dilating. Not to mention I keep having contractions. Who knows when this guy is going to decide he wants to introduce himself. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time, there's lots to do before he gets here. I'm the type of person who gets stressed out easily anyways and with everything that's going on I am really feeling it. Sooooo, needless to say, it may be another month before I post again :( 

The Big 0-3!

We had Grayson's party a couple of weekends ago (I know, I can't believe I am just now documenting it!) and it went pretty well, if I do say so myself. This was the first time I haven't done the party at home. I decided that I was not having a party at home for a bunch of 3 year olds while I am 7 months pregnant. This was the first year that we invited his friends from school, so there were more kids than in the past years. In this case, it was just easier to pay some other people to entertain the kids. We decided to do it at a new sports complex here in Rockwall. There's a gymnastics area and we thought he would have lots of fun running around in there on all the equipment. We were right.

It was a Tom and Jerry party. Too bad I didn't get pictures of any of that. But he was wearing his new Tom and Jerry shirt. I think this is his 4th one....kind of surprising that I'm ever able to find them in the first place since it's such an old cartoon. He was so excited that was his theme, and I was so glad I was able to find the supplies.

Griffin looked like such a big boy sitting at the table with all the other kids eating his goldfish and cupcake.

It was kind of funny that about 50% of the presents were in Toy Story bags.

His new Buzz Lightyear bike. He loves it!

This is also one of his favorite things. For super bowl, we went to a friend's house and while we were there, he played with their daughter's toy stroller the entire time. So, her mom bought him one for his birthday (she looked high and low for a blue one). I think she knew it would be money well spent. It's so funny how he loves to push it around with that stuffed monkey.

I can't believe my big boy is already 3 years old! Somedays it seems like the days are 48 hours long, but it seems like just yesterday we brought him home. And now he runs around here like a wild hyena most days. Oh, how I love that boy!

Birthday Week

Terry likes to have a "birthday week", not just a day. Well, this week is Grayson's birthday week. I can't believe that on Friday, this guy will be 3 years old!
