On Inauguration Day

I've recently been searching for great mommy blogs to follow. I like the information, the humorous moments they share, and the inspiration to write. Then it hit me- I've become one of "those" people. You know the type. They talk about their children non-stop. They share their silly pictures with anyone who makes eye contact. And they write blogs about it all. Now I can't get enough of such blogs.

My friend, Kim, introduced to Running with Racheal. 

 I also enjoy Confessions of a Band Geek Mom.

 A few more of my favorites are:

               Life According to Julie, Pregnant Chicken, and Cloudy with a Chance of Wine.

I got to catch up on my blog reading while lying in bed with this guy



and watching the presidential inauguration:


Later in the afternoon, I went shopping at my favorite thrift store, Red Racks. I love shopping at this store because everything is clean and bright and doesn't smell like a dirty arm pit like some other thrift stores. 

Plus, with the MLK, Jr. sale, everything was 50% off today. 


I got all these baby clothes, plus two American Eagle shirts for Levi all for $20. What a steal. 

Tonight I've also been busy making plans to do "end of pregnancy" things. I never thought I would see the day that I get to plan and take part in

1. my maternity shoot (beginning of March) 

2. a baby shower for friends at church (just a few weeks away)

3. a baby shower for other friends and family (also the beginning of March)

4. 3D ultrasound- coming up this week!

5. touring two hospitals to see which we like best

Being pregnant is the best thing I've ever experienced. I don't want it to hurry up and get over with, but I am anxious to meet Aria.

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the ...

Leave Room 4 Llama

One week down and we are bouncing off the walls over here.  I'm so thankful we have the internet to get us through this social distancing. Thanks to wifi, we've been doing daily kids' yoga. Friday it was Moana yoga. Of course Livi had to quickly change into her Moana outfit to fit the part. I'm thankful for wifi so we can have screen time to have a break from hearing my name yelled over and over. Hopefully the weather will be nicer this week so we can be outside more. I'm thankful for wifi so we can have group chats with our friends on Facebook Messenger using silly filters. I'm thankful for wifi so I can follow others on Instagram who love to use their bullet journal as a coping mechanism. I thought this page was a great one to copy down into my own journal and use daily while stuck at home. I'm thankful we finally found more milk. (No, we aren't hoarding. This is how much I buy every week!) I...

Social Distancing and Fresh Air

Image
Hasn't the weather been superb the last couple days of social distancing? On days two and three of COVID-19 hunkering down, we got to walk with Minnie and pick flowers. Fresh air is good for the soul. I guess it's pretty good for the immune system too. Aria started complaining of a sore tummy later in the day today, but she made it outside for a bit anyway. Still in her jammies, no less. Livi doesn't quite understand social distancing yet, but she never lets me forget to help her find her hat for going outside.  Maybe she just thinks she looks more stylish in her hat than without. For "school" we started ABC Mouse online. All four kids really enjoy it. As soon as the boys woke up this morning, they were asking to play on it. Aria has figured out that reading online with a website her teacher sent out is just as fun as reading to her triplets.  This morning the weather was not so great, so we...
