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!)

I officially have one week until delivery, which seems unimaginable to me!  I am definitely getting more emotional about it, I had to really control myself in church this morning when a sweet lady asked me about things.  It is so bittersweet. These braxton hicks are so painful, my tailbone/sciatic nerve make it hard to walk, and my glucose has made this last week rough, but at the same time, I know that these are the last few days I have of ever being pregnant...the last kicks, rolls, and stretches from baby.  This is definitely a hard turning point in life. Up until now, everything has been a new exciting season of firsts, or happy things, this is the first season change where I have truly felt sadness and pain.  I say all of this, which is all true, and comes from the depths of my soul, but at the same time I know how  blessed I have been and cannot express how thankful I am for this passing season.  This weekend I spoke with three beautiful women, two ...

I am not even sure where to begin today.  I missed posting last week because of life/traveling/excuses, but I want to make sure I am documenting the end of this pregnancy.  Every time I remind myself that it is the end of the pregnancy I get all hormonal and weepy.  Knowing this is our last baby is killing me, even though I know it is for the best.  Maybe one day we can foster or adopt, which is a dream of mine, but knowing I will never feel these little (big) kicks and squirms is hard to let go of.  Even though I am getting to the difficult days I still don't want to tell myself that I am ready for this to be over, because in many ways, I'm not.  I feel like I hardly remember last week as it seems so long ago.  I do remember that I went to the doctor twice, and that baby boy is still doing just fine.  Last week was also dance recital week and Elliott was such a beautiful ballerina!  She really is a natural at dance and is super graceful on...

I am not even sure where to begin in telling you about the birth of sweet Daniel.  On Monday night (June 24th) I started having contractions.  They were not consistent and were "tolerable" but did wake me from sleep.  I remained "uncomfortable" throughout Tuesday, but the contractions were still not consistent so I didn't worry too much.  By the afternoon I noticed that I wasn't feeling him move very much.  I took the kids to see "Toy Story 4" and had more than an hour and a half of loud noises and sitting time to realize that I wasn't feeling the baby.  We left the movie theater, went home and packed quick bags and headed to Louisville.  We dropped the kids off with my parents and Matthew and I went to the hospital.  They hooked me and baby up to all the machines and after a few hours and several drs visiting later they determined that baby was fine, I was definitely having contractions, but was not in active labor so they sent me "home...
