Baby Update

Last week at my appointment my midwife Jill said she might want me to have an ultrasound this week to confirm that baby was in a good position, because she was a little concerned.

We went in and she said she did want me to have the ultrasound because she just couldn't quite tell what was down there, but it didn't feel quite like the head should feel.

Turns out she is hanging out down there fist first, but her head is right down there next to it.  Apparently she thinks she might want to come out superhero style.

It was confirmed that it is her bum that has taken up residence in my right rib.  The technician said she is all on my right side - which I could have told anyone months ago, as I never ever feel her move on the left side, and all of my back pain is on the right side.  It is getting to the point now where it is hard to walk, and I keep forgetting and putting more weight on my right side than I should.  That means I fall over a lot.  But let's not dwell and complain, so moving on...

The first thing the technician said was that she could see a lot of hair.  I just have to wonder how they can tell what is hair in all that grey fuzziness, but she was very confident that there was a lot of hair.  We'll find out when she's born, I guess!

It was also confirmed that baby is in fact a girl.

Well, I guess that's the update from around here.

    I know she'll be beautiful, just like your other beautiful babies. Lots of hair is great. Thinking of you!

    Nice wintery background choice. :)

    It is crazy when they are born with so much hair! I was shocked at how much Alice had after how little my other two had had. Sorry about the lopsidedness. :( It's crazy how close you are now! And yet . . . I keep hoping she'll wait for February. Awful of me, I know, when you are feeling so done, but I can't help it!

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporations and have big fanc

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stairs leading up (

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took
