Fun with MaeMae

While looking for an activity for my busybody toddler, I stumbled upon cloud dough. It's fun to have a reason to make homemade toys/activities. I have made homemade play dough 3 times and it cost about 10 cents so I don't stress when it dries out. Mae loved the cloud dough.  The only ingredients were flour and oil.
 She went so crazy with it..... as you can tell.
 Showing daddy her "hair bow!!"



 This is from this morning and she actually smiled for a picture. She is so cute.

(Almost) 29 Weeks

This is from almost 2 weeks ago..... I know, I know, I am a slacker.

I may not be as on top of photographing this pregnancy but if Henry is like any boy I know then he probably won't care a bit. ; )

Things are going very smoothly. I passed my glucose test. (well the dr never called so I assume that means I'm in the clear!) Henry is a mover and a shaker. He is currently kicking me at this moment. I can now very clearly feel the little knobby points of his feet or knees or elbows sliding all around. I absolutely love sitting there and just feeling him move around. I'm probably one of those awkward pregnant women to be around because of it! haha Probably no one wants to see me rubbing my belly all the time but I can't help it. It is just too fun.

I never thought I would feel this way but I am in absolutely NO hurry for my due date to arrive. I feel like I need every second. While I am so excited to meet him, I can wait till he's fully ripened. ; ) 

I'll update again soon.

26 Weeks

Almost in my third trimester!
(I had a yucky cold when this pic was taken)
This pregnancy is flying by. I just want life to slow down a little. Shawn and I can't believe Mae is almost 2. It was 2 years ago that I was 26 weeks pregnant with Mae. I went into "preterm labor" 2 days after Halloween 2 years ago. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. I'm trying to drink lots of water this time around!

Henry is super active. Shawn said the other day "It's like you have constant entertainment, huh?" It really is! I love to just sit and stare at my belly move and shake. I've started to feel little limbs and it's so weird/amazing. I love feeling the heel of a foot and pushing it and watching him push back. 

Next Monday is my glucose test. Hopefully it's as easy as it was with Mae and I don't have gestational diabetes. 

Mae has been walking around with her baby doll and has been such a good little mother. I can't wait to see her interact with Henry.

We are so thankful for our healthy son. God is so good.

October Update

I've always longed to have this idyllic fall where we did all sorts of fun activities and enjoyed it to the fullest. I can say confidently that this year we did. We have had so many good family times and have done so many fun activities. It has helped that the weather has been absolutely perfect. Here is a recap of some of those memories.
This was taken at the Waxhaw Harvest Fest. It was a lovely day and there was the perfect amount of chill in the air.
 I took this picture to try and duplicate the one we took the year earlier at the same festival in Waxhaw. Right below is the original. A lot has changed. My sweet girl is SO big and grown up. My mom and I both have much shorter hair now. Im wearing the same shirt in both pics except this year I was about 23 weeks pregnant. : )

 Bubbles!
 Mae's first pony ride with poppy!
 She bit her nails the entire time and never relaxed a bit.
 There was a bbq competition going on but it didn't start till 1pm and we needed to get home around noon. Shockingly all the bbq stands were giving it away for free. Shawn, my dad, and mae were in heaven. (She loves ribs. She'll eat them down to the bone. I don't even do that!)
 Rib baby!
 This is from a couple weeks ago. We had a chilly day and decided to "camp out" in the back yard. I set up the tent and made it super cozy. I used to eggshell mattress toppers, a down comforter and several other blankets. That's really the only way to camp in my book.
 Mae looks so goofy!
 We watched a movie and ate popcorn. This is of Mae pretending to go "nightnight"
 Mae was helping me bake banana peanut butter cookies.
 The mess was created from Mae "helping" me add all the ingredients. She had to finish off the peanut butter too. : )
 This girl knows how to relax.
