Baby #3

I have not updated much on baby #3 so I feel like I should do an update for her.

What's going on with sweet baby girl:

*I will be 25 weeks on Wednesday. 

*I felt her move for the first time around 18 weeks (same as with boy boys). I feel her move a lot now which I LOVE! 

*I have been feeling great since around 14 weeks---thank goodness! The first few weeks were a little rough. 

*We've ordered the bedding for her room that I am VERY excited about---it will be pink, gray, and white :)
*I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions since around 16-17 weeks (same time I started having them with Corbin)

*We are sending Corbin's baby furniture off to be painted white so we have moved Corbin into Cason's room at night and they are doing great. 

*I get asked on a DAILY basis by complete strangers if I am due any day now. I then have to explain to them that NO I am not due any day now--I am actually not due until October. At that point they usually look at me in disbelief and some even ask if I am having twins. I almost don't want to go out in public anymore!!!
*Baby girl is measuring a little over 2 weeks ahead of schedule so it looks like she will be a big baby like her brothers. 

*Both boys love to hug and kiss my stomach MANY times a day. They love their little sister :)

*We have known her first name for a long time now (since before Cason was born) and we have finally decided on a middle name for baby girl (99% sure).

July 4th

We got to spend July 4th with the Kempsons---we are so happy that they are back in town, we have missed them!!! 

We started off the day with our neighborhood bike parade and popsicles :)

Next, we can come and made homemade red and blue play dough for a little patriotic activity :)

Then we went over to the Kempsons after naps for dinner, pinata fun, and firework watching. We had such a fun day---Cason kept saying, "This is the best day ever!". 

Busy Boys

I have been pulling out lots of our Busy Bags to keep the boys busy this summer!!! With no school and very hot temperatures, I think it's time for another Busy Bag party ladies!

Sammy the Crab

Cason has been wanting a hermit crab for quite some time now and we finally took him to the pet store and let him pick one out. He LOVES his crab!!! He named him Sammy and he would sit in front of Sammy's crab house and watch him all day if I would let him. He constantly wants to hold him and pick him up which probably scares the crab to death but so far the crab is still doing good.

Cason is working on filling up a sticker chart so that we can go pick out a friend for Sammy. Apparently, crabs like to have lots of friends :)

Catching Up

We had a great time in San Antonio! Unfortunately, I left San Antonio with an unwanted departure gift. I started feeling bad when we got back and by Saturday afternoon, I was at the urgent care clinic getting tested for strep---and sadly it was positive. I have not had strep since I had my tonsils taken out 10 years ago so it was quite the surprise.

The boys actually had step the first week of June. It was Cason's first time to have strep. Corbin had strep once when he was 6 months old. They had been well and feeling great for 3 weeks so the doctors do not think I could have gotten it from them. Most likely, it was just something I picked up in San Antonio. They told me at the clinic that it was definitely possible for me to reinfect the boys so I tried to stay away from them the rest of the weekend. However, by Monday morning we were back in the pediatrician's office and both boys had strep for the second time in June :( Thankfully Scott stayed well throughout all of it.

We are all well now and hopefully we will stay that way!!!

Cason had to miss the first 2 days of Vacation Bible School because of strep, but thankfully he was able to go Wednesday-Friday. He had a great time with his friends!!!

While Cason was a VBS, Corbin and I had fun spending some one on one time together :)

Yesterday we took the boys out for a fun day at the zoo....
