Baby Mason's 22 week sonogram

Do you know whose nose, lips and cheeks this looks like? Trinity's!!! Yesterday I had my last 2 week cervical check, and now that I am 22 weeks along it is official that I do not have an incompetent cervix! Hooray...no cerclage needed, and i can go to monthly checks, although I do have to go in weekly for my progesterone injection. :( They really hurt, but I can deal with pain. I have had my share this pregnancy with headaches, and kidney stones.

To my surprise while getting my sonogram the tech turned the sonogram over to 4D!! I was so excited! I have never had anything but a regular sonogram with my other kiddos, and although I was warned that at this early babies look like aliens, I was in love. I mean....not alien like at all. A little freaky, but still adorable! My Mason looks just perfect to me!!

My husband on the other hand had other thoughts. He said that Mason looked like Dobby from Harry Potter. Seriously? Dobby? I don't think so! Look how precious he is already saying his prayers!!

The sonogram tech said multiple times that she loved his heart!! She said the detail she could see was just amazing. That it was a text book heart and she could stare at it all day! I laughed at her because all I could see was the four chambers, but she could see so much more.

Anna accompanied me on this visit to the doctor, and she really enjoyed it. She was smiling the entire time. She thought it was so funny that when we started the sonogram, Mason had his legs and hands up over his head. She said he was already practicing gymnastics.

Can't decide

...whether to get Fox the Sox, or Hercule the Elephant for our baby BOY for Christmas.

Which do you think?

I think these lovey's from blabla kids are just adorable, and we are

sooo excited to have another boy in the house!!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving it was just US. We were lazy, and stayed in our jammies all day.

Trin loves to help in the kitchen, and she helped prepare everything we ate. We shared at least 3 things we are thankful for around the table prior to eating.

One thankfulness from each of was:

Big Casey- a forgiving GOD
Little Casey- for Big Casey's job
Anna- for the Pilgrims, so we could have Thanksgiving
Trinity- for rabbits?
Me- for our carpooling family

Trin finished up by saying "Can we eat all dis good food now?"

We are THANKFUL, and BLESSED in many ways!

That night Trinity fell asleep reading her book before bed. She's never done that before and it was just sooo sweet. She must have been exhausted from our relaxing day. :)

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Birthday Celebration

Trin's birthday started off at gymnastics. She is in LOVE with "gynastics"!!! She just recently started the 3, 4, and 5's class, and she is doing really well.

Look at that V-sit. Pretty cute, huh?


And that poise on the balance beam. ;)

I give her a 10 for that 3 year old cartwheel. :)
Yep, I do believe she's a natural. Well, at least I hope so. She really does love her "gynastics"!!

We just had a little celebration at home for her party. Nana came and in town, and brought lots of gifts. Her favorite being her new 4 wheeler, and her Jessie doll. The present theme seemed to be art supplies. She loves to paint, and mold with her play dough.

We had a wonderful day with our 3 year old, and she had a great birthday!

Leaf Press

The kids and I gathered leaves from the backyard last weekend and made leaf presses. The color of the leaves were just beautiful, and we wanted to enjoy them just a little bit longer.

Halloween...a little late

For months Trinity said that she wanted to be a cookie for Halloween. So, I made her a chocolate chip cookie costume, and she loved it so much she wanted me to make her most favorite doll Christian a costume too! I think my favorite part of the costume was her little cookie bows!

Anna, being the diva that she is chose to be a groovy hippie girl. She participated in the Girl Scouts trunk or treat, and it was a lot of fun. It's fun to see her interact with her class mates. She is such a socialite.

The girls getting ready to step outside to trick or treat. Trin had so much fun and after each house she said "I really like to say trick or treat and get candy". Next year I will for sure remember to have Neen use the restroom before we leave the house. She was a trooper and held it all the way home. :)

Happy Birthday!

In just a few hours my sweet baby girl will be a big three year old!

She is the sweet spot in my heart!

I love her with everything I have!!

Happy Birthday, tomorrow my sweet Neen!
