30 thankfuls day 2
Today, I am thankful for our business. It has, at times, been a nightmare. However, it has opened so many doors and hopefully will, someday, be the key to us having Woody home!!

30 days of thankful Day 1

Time. Is. Flying.
I kinda wish it would slow down! This pregnancy seems to be really just passing me by.i am already nearly 23 weeks!! That means round 17 weeks left. (I suspect Addy wants to be a March baby, and of I am right, I have closer to 18 weeks left.) That is NOT much!! Especially since I am so not prepared for this baby girl. I am waiting until the end of November to buy the big stuff. Right before Thanksgiving, we are getting a 3d ultrasound and I just want one more confirmation that this is Adalyn I am carrying and not Declan.
In other news, Blayke is catching on to how to read!! Yay!! I tried a month or so ago, and he had no interest. Now, he is gettin' it!! So exciting!! Konnor is finally talking, however I think Blayke, Cierra and I are the only ones who understand him!! Cierra is awesome. She is such a great child. She does her chores without too much fuss, she is so helpful and she is so well behaved!
Woody has been in North Dakota for 2 weeks, and will be there for 1 more. Then home for a weekend and gone til Thanksgiving, when we head to Idaho. He is such an awesome husband. He works so hard, and while he is not without fault, he is, by far, the best husband I could ask for.m

Midwife update
Today was my monthly visit to my awesome, amazing, fabulous, kind, caring (insert any other positive adjectives here), midwife. My goodness, I love her.
I have been having trouble sleeping at night. I fall into my bed, exhausted, and am out almost immediately. However, between 1 & 2 in the morning, I wake up and am up for 3 or 4 hours, fall back asleep for an hour or 2 and am up with the kids for the day. It has been brutal, and today, I finally just cried about it. I decided to discuss it with my midwife, and she was awesome. When I cried, she was so kind. She gave me a few, pregnancy safe suggestions as well as reminding me that I have a lot going on, and it isn't surprising that I am having these issues.
I love the personal feel I have with my midwife. She even remembers what we plan to name the baby, and refers to her by name. She evens called another client who is LDS, and lives in this area to see if she could give me her number just to help me meet people. Yep, she is awesome!!
Now, onto the update on Miss Addy. She is laying sideways in my belly, head on my left, bum on the right. She is also high, laying right above my belly button. I am measuring 23 weeks, though my dates say I am just over 21 weeks. Addy's heartbeat was right around 150, but she was wiggling like crazy, so a good solid number couldn't be registered. Speaking of wiggling, she has become much stronger. Still not as active as the boys, but she is starting to really make her presence known. I can see my belly jump when she kicks.
The craziest thing? I am just now to the weight I have started my last 2 pregnancies at! (5, if you include miscarriages!)

This picture shows the difference between my pregnancy with Konnor and this one. Higher and smaller this go.

20 weeks!
Yesterday, I hit the halfway mark of this pregnancy!! My! How time flies!!! BabyAdalyn is still not as active as Konnor was.... But she is definitely getting stronger!! Woody and Cierra have felt her kick. We are all so excited for this baby!!! I do kinda wish it would slow down a bit. She will be here before we know it...and the she will be 2! At least, that is how it seems to happen!
There is so much I can't wait to experience again: breast feeding, cloth diapering (already have a pretty good stash started!) baby-wearing, and breathing in the delicious smell of a newborn baby!! (Yes, I know it won't all be rainbows and roses, I have done this before!)
She already has gobs of clothes, (thanks mostly in part to a lot of clothes that I bought from Craigslist.) a playpen, (thanks to a thrift store here in Billings!) and diapers! We may be a bit excited for this Wee One!!! And, OH the flowers!! Lol!!girls are so much fun to shop for!!!!
Super cute lotj!
