Mom's blog & stuff

Well it is a great feeling knowing that your mom can conquer the blog world. Check out her blog and leave some comments to support her in trying to get started! She has tons of stories about my grandma that I hope she shares.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I ate way too much and I do pray the scales don't tell on me in a couple of weeks when I go back to the dr. That is always such a downer when you go in there and think there is no possible way I could have gained that much weight in 3 weeks. Oh well. It happens and all the more fat I eat means the cheeks on this baby are that much bigger right? Please don't ruin my theory folks.

I am sticking way out there by now. Many people at church today said that they were glad I was finally showing. Bless their hearts. I have been showing since the moment I found out I was pregnant but they sure were nice to say that. Many were moms with multiple children and knew this prego needed some reassurance! :) Like I said there have been no doubts that I was pregnant but honestly many people probably thought, "Is she pregnant again??"

Cannon has been on a terror lately. He is really a sweet little guy and talks non stop gibberish but he is into EVERYTHING. When Gracelyn was at this stage I wasn't pregnant and our house was much smaller so it was easier to control her actions and surroundings. For the most part he loves to play in Gracelyn's room and besides a few mishaps with crayons (which are now safely put away) and some acrobatics on the bed he is safe in there with her. Childproofing has taken on a whole new meaning.

Gracelyn loved that we put up Christmas decorations today. She really thought it was cool that I let her put her ornaments on the tree herself this year. She was also in charge of decorating the back of the tree. I love her little 4 year-old mind!! :) She wants everything for Christmas of course so it is hard to narrow it down to a few special things that we can get for her.

Baby Melban is moving and jumping around just fine. The headaches are gone for the most part due to the medication so I have to give an update to the internist tomorrow so we can decide to either stay on the medicine (my vote) or do something else. I think that is the plan he will take.

I am 27 weeks along and it is HARD for me to believe that in reality we will probably have a baby in about 8-9 weeks. ACK!!! That is if he comes like his brother and sister at 36 weeks which is not a guarantee but a probably so. Watch this little guy prove us all wrong and be overdue! At this point that doesn't sound so bad. He is much safer on the inside with Cannon around! :)

Our great friends the Jones' will be having Justin David Jones on the 8th of December. I have blogged about him before. I am so excited to get to meet him. Harvin and D'Sha' are on baby number 3 and the term Keeping Up With the Jones' has never meant much to us until baby time!! We have always followed in their footsteps with babies. Olivia was 5 weeks before Gracelyn. Kelly was 3 months before Cannon and now Justin will be 2-3 months before Baby #3 (wish he had a name but sadly he does not). Every time they called to tell us they were pregnant we weren't too far behind with our own news. Every time they called to tell the sex of the baby we had to follow and have the same thing. So it was no surprise when they said this time they were having a boy and then 2 months later we found out we were as well. This will be the end of the Jones' clan. 3 is their limit and we aren't for sure so we might break the cycle but we have loved having babies the same time as the Jones. We always tease that the kids are honorary best friends because we all are! Please be praying that these last few days for D'Sha' are easy and uneventful. Pray that Olivia and Kelly will adjust to a new baby in mommy's lap. Pray that Harvin will not go insane!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
