33 weeks

Your baby is as big as a pineapple, and he's starting to shed his downy hair, called lanugo.
Baby's Length: 17.20 in.
Baby's Weight: approx 5 lbs
Your baby doesn't have much elbow room these days -- and, happily, that's probably going to mean fewer elbow jabs to the ribs for you. Because space in your uterus is running out, your baby becomes less active at this point in the pregnancy. You may also notice that her movements are affected by your daily routine -- how much and when you eat, what position you are in and sounds from the world outside can all affect your baby's activity level.

MeMe

The last few days have been a big blurr for our family. Destin's mom, MeMe, passed away Sunday night about 6:30pm. She lost her battle with cancer. Visitation is tonight at Culpepper Funeral Home from 5-8 and the funeral is tomorrow at Williamsville Baptist Church at 11. Please keep Destin, his sisters, and our entire family in your prayers. Here are a few pictures of some good times we had with MeMe. "May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in Him!!" Rs 15:13

Mistletoe Merchants

Hope and I had a fun day at the Mistletoe Merchants Christmas shopping event in Memphis yesterday. It was just the 2 of us, and we left the kiddos at home. We haven't had a girls day like that in probably 4 years or better. We had a great time and look forward to having another girls day soon! Can't believe it is getting time to look at Christmas stuff. I am definitely in the holiday spirit now. Can't wait for Thurs. this week, Canton Flea Market, then Celebration Village in Tupelo the next week, then have Halloween weekend, then Mistletoe Marketplace brunch in Jackson on Nov. 3, and then Mary Margaret will be making her arrival soon thereafter. :) Fun times ahead!

Mallory's pumpkin

This is Mallory's pumpkin that she picked at the pumpkin patch! :) BUZZ

Mallory's pumpkin patch field trip

Today, I went for Round 2 at the pumpkin patch. Mallory's 3 year old class went to Nichols Boyd. She had so much fun! We rode the school bus and had a fun day together!

SaraBeth's pumpkin

This is the pumpkin SB picked at the pumpkin patch. She and Destin decorated it last night :)

SaraBeth's pumpkin patch trip

Thursday, SaraBeth and the 4 year olds from FPCP went to the Nichol's Boyd Pumpkin Patch in Canton. We had so much fun.

32 weeks

We are 80% of the way there!
By now, your baby weighs over 4.5 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth. I had a dr's appt yesterday and everything was well. I got my flu shot, and we listened to the heart tones. So sweet, SaraBeth was with me, and she was so amazed. I go back to see Dr. Cole on Oct. 24 and will be well in to my 34th week. She will start checking me then, so we will see. Hopefully Mary Margaret will be making her arrival in approx. 5 weeks :)

Flyduds :)

Love that shop on etsy.

Have a Good Day!

Happy Fall~!

Camo Night

Tonight was camo night at awana. The girls and I all wore it!

31 weeks

This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. She weighs about 4.1 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. She can turn her head from side to side, and her arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath her skin. She's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active.

TWIN Thursday

SaraBeth and Mary Landrum :)
Mallory and John Christian :)

The girls each got together with a friend in their class to dress like today. They are TWINS :)

Happy Fall!

Mismatched Monday

This week is PDS spirit week and they have invited the preschool to participate. Today is Mismatched Monday. As you all know this is EXTREMELY hard for me to do. Anyway, I gave it my best shot. The girls loved it because they pretty much picked out there own outfit :)

Tonight was Crazy Hair Night at Awana. Don't they look silly! A BIG thanks to Nana for helping us get this hair looking so crazy :)

Bulldog game!

The girls and I went with Pop and Nana on Sat. to Starkville to the game. We had fun tailgating with friends and family. La Tech and MSU was a close game, but our bulldogs pulled it out in the end. :) Go State!!
