Cousin time

While we were in Midland I was able to spend some time with my sisters and there kiddos.  Thursday night we went to  my nephew Zachary's flag football game.  I was so glad we got to go to his game and watch him play.  After the game we all went to dinner at Fuddruckers and boy did the kids have fun, they were wild!

On Friday after my hair appointment I met up with my sister Courtney and her kiddos for lunch at Mr Gattis.  It was nice to get out and let the kids run and play with each other. I also enjoyed the little bit of time I got to chat with my sister.

Dr appt

I drove into Midland Thursday for my weekly doctors appointment.  All was well with Beckett.  It was a normal visit besides getting my cervix checked.  I was 3 centimeters dilated and 40 percent effaced.  Pretty typical for me, actually exactly the same as my 37 week check up with both my other kiddos! Doctor pretty much said dilation means nothing with out contractions and since he is going on vacation the end of next week he jocking told me to keep my legs crossed.  I would be ecstatic if I went into labor early but I doubt it will happen.  I am officially counting down the days, 12 more to go!!!

Father's day!

Yesterday was Father's day and we were in Midland to celebrate.  We gifted Richard with a huge car cleaning kit and hand made cards from the kiddos.  We enjoyed dinner at my sister in laws to celebrate my father in law.  We enjoyed a delicious dinner and drove back to Hobbs.  I cant explain how incredibly thankful I was to be home.

I am so thankful for my sweet husband.  Growing up with out my father present in my life, to be so blessed to have this amazing father for my kiddos is amazing.  Richard blows me away at how involved he is with the kiddos, how incredibly hands on he is, and how vested he is in there life.  I love you Richard and I couldn't have asked for a better father for our children.  I add this picture from 3 years ago, its one of my favorite pictures of Richard and the kids.

Swim Party!

Saying Saturday was a full day is an understatement!  We had two birthday parties and I had dinner plans with some girlfriends!  The first part of the day was for my nephew Zachary's sixth birthday at the Sherwood water park.  Allison was so excited about this party, she counted down the days all week.  Last year she missed his party because she had strep throat.  Thank goodness Richard was there because I literally had no motivation to move from my seat.  Although I did get out in the water once and watched Cooper play in the little area while Richard and Allison went to the big kid area.  We had a great time at the party and had fun celebrating Zach's birthday.  Later on in the day we went to another swim party for Dustin.  I went to dinner while Richard took the kiddos to the party.  I enjoyed spending some time out with my friends and I ate almost every bite of my dinner too!

Baseball Game

Friday night we went to the Citi Bank Ball Park for Chevron's night.  The kids got there jerseys which they immediately put on.  The BBQ was wonderful and we enjoyed snacking on popcorn, peanuts, cookies, and cotton candy.  The kids got to play at the playgrounds.  Allison was so into the game, she was dieing to catch a foul ball!  I was worried it was going to be terribly hot, but we had some serious cloud coverage and light wind it was prefect!

Dr apt

This past Friday I had my weekly Dr apt. Just the normal visit plus the strep b test.  During the Dr visit while I was suppose to urinate in the cup I lost my mucus plug, but must people know that has no real bearing on when labor will come.  No weight gain, I have never with all three of my pregnancy gained any weight the last two months of my pregnancy. Blood pressure low as always, and Beckett measuring right on schedule.  I also told the Dr how I was concerned about Beckett possibly moving positions and he checked he is still head down!  Dr also prescribed me some meds because I have a terrible sinus infection which is causing me alot of pain.  Next visit on Thursday, they were booked on Friday and my first official cervical check!

I cant explain how over this pregnancy I am.  I think with having a cold these last two weeks added immensely to my misery.  I feel like I am unable to function anymore.  The most mundane task seem impossible.  Especially having to pack a whole family once a week for my Dr appointments.  Belly gets in the way of everything like opening the fridge, getting something out of the cabinet, opening a door, or getting into the car etc!  Nothing really fits clothing wise, let alone how hard it is to get dressed.  I could live in Richards clothes and never leave the house if it were up to me, but the world still has to run.  And I would feel like a terrible mommy if I didn't keep my kiddos busy with some fun outdoor activities.  Beckett is still moving around like crazy, I feel like he wants to make his presence known! I am just beyond ready to hold this little boy in my arms!

Rockin!!

I know I posted about my new diaper bag but I felt like my new rocking chair deserved its own post!  Richard jokingly told me yesterday he wants to take a picture of me in the chair because I haven't left it since Saturday!  And its true.  I am at that stage in pregnancy where I am totally uncomfortable.  I literally could lay in bed all day, but with two kiddos around that's not possible.  When I had Allison a bunch of ladies who I worked at the bank with bought me a rocking chair for my shower gift.  Well it lasted a little over a year after Cooper was born, and it literally broke to pieces underneath me.  So I new when I found out I was pregnant with Beckett I needed to buy a rocking chair.  I cant not explain how much research I have done looking for the perfect chair.  With my back issues I didn't want to settle on just any chair, well I found the one I just fell in love with while we were in San Antonio.  And a big thanks to my mother in law who bought the chair for my shower gift, I finally have my chair!
