2016 - Week 47

Week 47, 11/14/16 - 11/20/16

She adores her baby brother to pieces.

Did my hair AND my make up today. Required documentation.

He was laying there while I finished up some evening chores, and fell asleep. He NEVER just falls asleep. WOWZA!

18 Weeks Young!

He gets more and more interested in the animals every day. And so far, they all tolerate him pretty well.

The big girls were FINALLY back in gymnastics, and SO excited. This week I stayed home with the littles while Christian brought them. I hate missing stuff!

Eliza helped me bring her baby in for his check up this week. Overall, things went pretty good. His breathing is still being monitored, his hemangioma is still growing and he has lost weight since his last ENT appointment, dropping to 11%. So, in addition to his ENT monitoring, he'll be doing monthly weight checks now as well. Poor guy. But, he's a giant, at 81%. He's SOOOOOOO long! He did great with his shots, which helped him to sleep pretty much all night long. Some good rest for my little man who usually thinks he needs none.

Tonight he fell asleep on his mat. LOL. Those shots have him knocked out!

We attended a friends wedding tonight. I had the most handsome date of them all! (and, look, hair and make up again!) I haven't been feeling well this week. I've been weak, coughing a lot, just drained. Earlier today I was feeling terrible, sweating, feeling almost flu-like. That part went away, but man, I hope I'm not coming down with anything too terrible.

The girls with their flower girl best friend, Bella.

You guys, look at him! Ready for their Santa pictures, and he's all fancied up. Oh man, I just love him so much.

Until Next Week! XOXO

2016 - Week 46

Week 46, 11/7 11/13/16

The girls came into my work for a quick visit last week, and left all these notes. LOVE!

Taking Noah in for his latest ENT check. Everything is still kind of in limbo. The doctor did bring up surgery, but could definitely feel my hesitance and fear. He is recommending we give it another month, and do another check, and make some decisions then. My poor boy. He's still snoring, breathing heavy and honking like a little goose, so hopefully we see some big changes over the next month.

I brought the big girls with me to vote this year. It was such an important year, with everything going on, and all of the scary things they've been hearing at school. They were so excited to go with me and see what it was all about. As the night went on, we were obviously incredibly heartbroken at the results. So much, that I had to delete Facebook off of my phone and take a break from it. All these weeks later, I'm still beyond disappointed that anybody I know would've voted for Donald Trump, but I will always remain confident that I made the right choice and proud that these little girls were a part of it.

We also celebrated this little cuties half birthday! Wow, halfway to three!!!

I got myself a new Mother's Necklace, and I'm SOOOOOOOO in love!

Anther week down! 17 Weeks for my little handsome man.

He's a little peanut, but he's still grown SO much!

 

 Feeding my guy, and snuggles from my muffin. Love quiet nights like this.

Playing with his sister. His favorite activity!

We got some handmedowns from a friend tonight, for Noah, and Eliza claimed this hat as hers. LOL - she's so dang cute!! I love this big puppy dog eyes so much!

Just chillin'. He does it so well.

We're bound and determined to make his Auntie Dawn's lion his favorite toy.

She loves to help take care of Noah. The bigger he gets, the more we can let her without having a panic attack the entire time. 

Hehe, selfies with this cutie. His newest thing, he's always trying to look up or back at me now when he's sitting in my lap.

Rocking his birthday hat at his cousin Julian's 1st birthday party!!

We ended the week with a 4 month old. FOUR MONTHS!!!! He's rolling more and more every day, and starting to spin and move himself around. He loves his playmat and watching the colors on the TV, and his sisters can always make him smile. He's such a sweet boy, but not quite as happy as he was to begin with.  He's on his last package of Size 1 diapers, and while we moved him up to 3-6 month clothes, most of them are still pretty baggy on him. Naps are still hit or miss, but he's still a pretty decent night sleeper, for the most part. Stop growing so fast!!

Until Next Week! XOXO

2016 - Week 45

Week 45, 10/31/16 - 11/6/16

Kicking off Halloween Day...of course a flashback to all of the kids' past Halloween's, and ready for the day in their Halloween gear,

Ready for some Trick or Treating

This big guy, 16 weeks!

Playing in their giant leaf pile

This is what it looks like when you are switching out closets for the baby and the 2 year old. Eliza is moving up to 3T clothes, and Noah into 3-6 months. Growing babes!!!

Until Next Week! XOXO
