overheard

Teagan Jude: Mom, I’m feeling a little gassy today.
Me: Uhm, ok buddy.
Teagan June: I think I need some of the goooooooood stuff.
Me: haha….what good stuff?
Teagan Jude: Hmmmmm, probiotics. Let’s go with the apple cider vinegar today. Maybe add a little honey, stir it up real good. The goooooood stuff.
Me: hahahaha….you got it kiddo.

Man I love this kid. He cracks me up. And I love that he’s so in tune with his body and what he needs. They are listening and learning and I love that it is all sinking in.

in waiting

Feeling brave today I suppose. I normally don’t post many photos of myself, much less 10 months pregnant, belly and stretchmarks hanging out. But this is it. This is where I am right now. Exhausted. Waiting. Ready. Jase snapped this of me resting the other night after hours of contractions. Jonah, we are so ready to have you in our arms, come on out little one.

Taryn has had a loose tooth for a few weeks and she was beyond excited about it. It seems like she has waited fooooooorever for her first loose tooth! Sometimes my sweet, apprehensive, slow to warm, fearful of the unknown girl needs a little….push. So the day before yesterday, knowing how utterly competitive she is, I started to egg her on saying I thought Jonah would come out before her tooth would. Never one to be beat, she went right to work wiggling that little tooth. Forget about nursing it, game on! Worked like a charm too. We were sitting on my bed last night and she was wiggling it when […]

my libra

I’m officially the most pregnant I’ve ever been with any of the kids. We thought Sunday night was it. Put everyone on notice, regular contractions 4 minutes apart, intense. And then suddenly….nothing. I did this with the 2 little kids as well, lots and lots of pre-labor. Monday and Tuesday very few contractions, but I was beyond exhausted from not sleeping well. Super cranky too, so I’ve been laying low and hiding out to not subject everyone to my moods.

I had a midwife appointment and a chiropractic appointment yesterday. My midwife was pretty sure that Jonah is head down, but not certain. When we got home, I was super uncomfortable, more so than usual. I started feeling feet kicks to […]

she almost got him good

Taryn loves to text. We’ve gone searching for our phones more than once only to find out she’d stolen it and was texting people. Her usual victims are Jason’s younger brother Scott or my mom. Texting my mom at 6 am not such a big deal, but Scott is rarely up that early. Sometimes she tells them it’s her, but not always. So they think it is either Jase or I. Stinker. We’ve had more than one “discussion” with her about it.

Last night I had a really rough night and didn’t get much sleep. And since Duder is still napping at least 2x a week, today was the perfect day to encourage rest. I got Taryn set up with her […]
