Blythe seriously says and does some Hilarious things these days. The big kids are constantly asking her to say stuff and cracking up at her......which just keeps her doing it more! It's so fun!

Easter 2016
Matthew played in the band Easter morning so we had to do pictures a bit in piecemeal, but that is just fine...add them all up and it is the whole crew! Oh and......Easter Bunny came while we were at church LOL
The full festivities including dinner with friends Saturday evening followed by an indoor egg hunt and egg dying. They have four children also, so it is always chaos....but FUN chaos. The kids LOVED the indoor egg hunt!
Sunday we went to church, the Easter bunny came and we did a short little hunt with the neighbors. OH and we PLAY OUTSIDE....which is the greatest thing EVER

38 Weeks with Caboose
38 WEEKS! I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has flown by...in 3.5 weeks or less we will have the final biological addition to our family (or that is OUR plan at least). We are hopeful caboose stays nice and cozy like the others until at least the due date. I have a feeling that this baby wont be as big as the others...I guess with three other kiddos running around plus working out, you just do not have as much time to notice you are hungry and you burn more calories! I have not gained as much weight as I did with the other pregnancies :)
BP: 120...BOY???!!!!
Fundal Height: 37 (I am usually shrinking by now, so this is interesting)
Fetal Position: ROA (Right Occiput Anterior); not totally ideal but baby can still spin at delivery or before. Apparently LEFT Occiput Anterior is most ideal. Not Worried.
BP: Within normal Range
Weight: Gained one pound!
Me: Doing pretty good. More sore this go round, but its the fourth and it is to be expected.
Gender: Heartbeat says boy, the way I am carrying looks more like Blythe now.....WHO KNOWS!

37 Weeks with the Caboose Baby
Man, it has been a long few weeks. A trip to the ER with Blythe, yet another plague on my house of illness, more antibiotics for Blythe....UGH! We cannot get well and stay well; it makes enjoying ANYTHING difficult. But, that is for another post, another day....or maybe I do not want to document the frustrations because I sort of want to forget all the illnesses since August.
SO, on to exciting things....CABOOSE!
We had our 37 week appointment yesterday, I opted to have them check me because we have considered a quick family trip to Kansas City and I wanted to know if I had made progress unusually early.
HB: 130, when awake!
BP: 112/70
Weight: Gain is much slower this time, very different
Fundal Height: 37 cm
Progress: -2 Station, thick and 1-2 cm; I did not want her to mess around in there too long to confirm the 1 or 2, not worth it! Next time I get checked will be never (because baby came before 41 weeks) or 41 weeks when they strip me.
Baby: Wild mover when I take a moment to sit down which is not often
Me: My reflux is FINALLY eradicated and I can EAT! I have been TRYING to take it easy as much as possible---trying not to pick up Blythe or climb the stairs or clean quite so much---so I am not so sore and do not have contractions all evening when I do sit. It seems to help A LOT. On the days I try to take it easy I am not sore at all. I will be anxious to be back to the gym running....I will start back in a week or two. I laid off the running the past couple weeks to see if that helped the soreness and contractions, which it did. We want baby to make it to the due date!!!
Assuming I remember to take a picture Wednesday at 38 weeks, I will have comparison tummy pics; I still maintain I looked oddly better throughout Blythe's pregnancy than the others---wonder why! Maybe I did my make up better back then?? LOL
