Turning 34 and 8 Months

What a week!

Aria came down with the stomach bug that was passed around at our in-home daycare on Sunday. We stayed home together Monday to cuddle.


Back to work for a day, then I got sick. I couldn't make it home fast enough Tuesday to my bed. Once Levi finally got home, he was sick too.

Thank God for my mommy. She came to the rescue!

I had nothing but Sprite for a couple of days.


And had lots of cuddles.


Luckily, I was feeling much better by my birthday yesterday. I turned another year older and Aria turned another month older. Eight to be exact. 

We had birthday mommy-daughter time after school, complete with selfies.


This was followed by the eight month photo shoot. Drumroll please...


























Aria let me know the photo shoot was over when she took her sticker off.


And tried to eat it.



We ended the day with my family at Mom's house. Aria definitely stole the show.




She even got some clothes for my birthday gift. Thanks Aunt Nana! I did get a few gifts for myself, like this blue undershirt. Thanks, Natalie!


After the long week, I was ready to stay in and cuddle with my loves. 

                                    


Oh, and don't forget the sushi.


Yummo.

Have a great weekend!

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

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 part

5 Month Camera Roll

Happy 5 months to my baby girl! Here's the pictures from our photo shoot today. I just thought this look was funny! Like she's saying, "I've got my eye on your Grandma and Grandpa..." She's happy now, but last night she was up for 3 hours. I could feel two teeth poking through: one on the top gums and one on the bottom. It was a long night. The good news tonight is the heat in the weather finally broke. It was such a nice evening, we sat outside for a little while. Look how funny Aria thinks Gus is when he fetches the ball. The video didn't catch her adorable laughing, but it's still pretty cute. In running news, I jogged 2 miles this evening- no stopping! Jogging has been a real struggle because all the extra weight I'm carrying feels more like 500 pounds instead of 27, but tonight was a success. That's 3 jogs this week!  Here's to keeping it

And We're Crawling

Aria has been filling my days up this week. The 6-9 month wardrobe is in the process of being boxed up. We're on to 9-12 month clothes, and stealing Daddy's hats. Last night, my niece, Jillian celebrated her 11th birthday with us at Olive Garden.                                             Aria always likes a party, but how excited she gets when she sees my mom is the true entertainment.  I'm thankful I got to spend the evening with my niece and the rest of my family. After that great night, Aria was up at 4:30 AM. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that she has four teeth coming in. Ouch. Since we were up at 4:30, I decided to have a fashion show of the clothes we bought Aria last night. Her 9 month professional photo shoot is Saturday. That calls for a new outfit. Although I purchased 9-12 month sizes, this outfit is just too tight. The 12-18 month shirt fits just right. Back to the
