7 Months

This last month has been so busy it seems like it zoomed by!  From 6 month pictures, St. Patrick's Day, season of Lent, and various and sundry events I don't feel like we have had a moment to breathe.  From the looks of it, this next month will be the same!  Elliott is growing and changing so quickly and she is developing such a neat personality.  She is trying to figure out her boundaries and trying to figure out just how much power she has...lol.  When I leave the room it is a total meltdown....she even fusses if Matt is still with her.  It is both sweet and obnoxious.  lol. 

Things Elliott can do:
*sit up on her own
*shimmy on the floor  - by shimmy I mean wiggle until she travels somewhere, whether or not it is the direction she really wants to go
*hold the bottle when she wants to
*laugh when she toots or burps (hysterical!)
*make the "d", "b", "g" and "k" sounds
*quack during "Six little ducks"
*shake and hit things to see what kind of sound they make
*she has two teeth!
*She is finally getting enough hair to brush!


Things Elliott Loves:
*the remote control
*Samson
*Apples
*Pears
*Oatmeal with Apples or pears
*Peas
*Sweet potatoes
*Squash
*Animal sounds
*Her toes
*People
*Tags/ribbon
*"Six little ducks",  "I'm a little teapot",  "The Grand old duke of York" 
*Clapping (she doesn't do it independently yet)

Things Elliott doesn't like:
*Carrots
*Green beans (although she tolerates them...)
*Loud noises
*anything when she is sleepy.  lol


This next month will include Easter, Elliott's baptism and traveling to Florida for a conference.  So many exciting things happening!

The part you love! (If you haven't seen Elliott's official 6 month pics, check out my FB.  You won't be disappointed...they are super cute!)

11 Weeks!

Image
Today starts week 11 and sadly that means I am 1/4 of the way through this pregnancy.  How can that be already?  Baby is the size of a lime this week and apparently is growing fingers and toes!  It is starting to wiggle around in there and today I was able to feel a little of its movements...earlier than either of my other babies.  This week has been a little better in the glucose department, numbers are a little more consistent and I am finding a new stride with the insulin.  Hopefully we maintain this through the rest of pregnancy, but I won't hold my breath.  Baby has wanted Fazoli's breadsticks and Christmas tree cakes, neither of which are good for diabetic mama....but both are OH SO tasty!  hahaha.  I am officially down 20 pounds!  Hopefully I can keep it off once baby arrives.  Will. Power. Tomorrow I have a trifecta of appointments, starting with an ultrasound, meeting with the MFM dr, nutritionist, and my regular OB.  I...

Round 3!

Image
If you are choosing to follow me here again (or for the first time) during this pregnancy, thank you.  I found that I love going back and reading past entries about my other pregnancies and think "oh yeah!  There is a reason I blocked that out!"  haha.  I was debating on whether or not to keep this going through this pregnancy but I think I would be terribly disappointed later on if I choose not to, so here I go.  Yesterday I hit  9 weeks with baby number three.  I am officially (unofficially?) due July 4th, with the understanding that since this will definitely be a CSection I will deliver most likely near the end of June.  Firecracker (my pet name for this one) is the size of a grape (ish).  I was able to hear a good strong heartbeat at my last dr. appointment and all seems to be going well with baby.  So far I haven't had any nausea (hallelujah!) and have only thrown up a couple of times while trying to brush my teeth.  I am ...

Holy Week

Image
This week is Holy Week in the life of the church.  I love Holy Week and the somber reflection that comes with this week. Baby Kimmons has had an interesting week with all of the church services. I had the privilege of rehearsing and playing with the Baptist church for Good Friday, to which the baby was highly responsive. I hope that it is a musical child. It seemed to like the music and was dancing or something in there! We also had a Maundy Thursday service to which Baby K seemed to love all the singing as well.      Obviously, this has been a very busy week and I am exhausted.  The tired feeling has definitely not gone away, in fact, it may be even more intense.  I have been super achy this week as things seem to be growing and shifting even more. We had a bit of a scare yesterday, but after being all checked out, everything seems to be fine. Thank goodness!  ( Sorry for any of you that I scared while at work!)     I am having a few ...
