Dan and I have been thinking about hosting New Year's at our place this year since it'd be easiest with all the kids. Thanksgiving seemed to work pretty well with everyone. Let me know what you think, or if someone else already has dibs on it??? Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I'm all through with whatever bug it was that I had. I would still love to have Bekah Wednesday! But, if you feel more comfortable having someone else watch her you can. I'm sure you're mom would love to

The past couple days Dan and I have actually been getting quite a bit of work done around here. It's nice to get some of these things done...lights up outside, front pathway swept off, raked up some of the leaves...ran out of room for all of them in the garbage can, and then today Dan finished up building a work bench and hanging shelves in our shed so now we can organize more junk from our back room and put it in the shed. Yay! Things are looking up! Talk to you soon sweetie, hope you found your husband and daughter tonight.

It does feel like a long time, things sure are busier with little ones, huh? I don't know what I did with all my time looking back. I THOUGHT I was busy then. HA! It's all totally worth it though!
I'm looking forward to having Bekah next week. She was so much fun last time we had her. It's amazing the difference between a boy and girl that same age...she's SO much quieter when she plays than little Daniel is! He's just busy busy and wants everyone to know about it! Phew, he's gonna wear me out! :-) So watching Bekah gives me some hope for what's to come with our quiet little GIRL. See ya soon sweetie!

Sorry i haven't been on too much lately....
Along with having my little Princess to take care of, i am also babysitting now. Oh wow! it's like having twins!!! lol Mine is 5 and a half months and the other is 9 months. And oh boy, she's a different baby!!! She is naughty already! She bites, she throws things, she pulls hair, and she "yells" and "screams" at everything. Even when I just change her diaper, she cries like i'm hurting her. I'm afraid my neighbor might start thinking i'm beating her or something because of the way she screams all the time. It's hard, but I have to remember I'm doing it for Madisyn. I can't bring myself to work just so I can pay for daycare. The logic doesn't make sense to me. But it works for some people...
So the newest things going on with Madisyn are, she's creeping like a worm (kinda crawling), she's MASTERED rolling around the house, she's definately found her voice!, she LOVES food (hates baby food tho)....i feed her off my plate as long as it's not spicy or dairy. We really love her a lot. It's amazing how much you feel you missed them before you even knew them. I can't imagine my life without her. And hardly remember it without her as well. We want more, but not for a while. we are perfectly content with just her for now.
well, i hope all is well. and everyone has lovely, safe and happy holidays!!!!
take care!!!

I just wanted to say HI!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! My name is Sarah by the way! :) I am here in Lebanon.

raebabe - Monday, 1 December
Awww...thanks! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!

raebabe - Wednesday, 26 November
Hey there! I read your post on the "postpartum body changes". As I was reading your post, I was picturing some overweight fat person.....I just got done looking at your pictures and you look GREAT!! I wouldn't be so hard on yourself! We just have to give it time. I am now 23 weeks pp and I am in the same boat. I know from my previous pregnancy that it gets better, but just not overnight! It just sucks because all my friends who had babies lost it within the first few months! Oh well :) Have a great Thanksgiving!!

madiraevin - Wednesday, 26 November
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!! HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!! BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THE GOOD (AND BAD) IN YOUR LIVES......WHATEVER DOESN'T KILL US MAKES US STRONGER!!! AND WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO BE THANKFUL FOR? YOU HAVE YOUR HEALTH, LOVE AND BABIES!!!!

madiraevin - Wednesday, 19 November
just a little update on Madisyn. she is 5 MONTHS today... she is rolling all over, eating solid foods, talking like crazy, starting to creep with her arms and legs...can't figure out how to get them to all work at the same time....but she'll get there...she's FINALLY sleeping thru the night too. goes to bed around 930 n sleeps till around 630-7. also, i posted some
new pics!

Well Elias is starting to show the tips of his teeth finally. He�s had the rash for a few weeks now so hopefully with the teeth the dribbling will lessen too. Thanks

Rebekah gets cuter and cuter every time I see her! It was fun getting to visit at Mindy's stamp party.

Dan and I went out to Red Robin for our anniversary and then we went to Walmart afterwards and picked up the pink bunny security blanket for our new baby girl. :-) I'll pick another one when we can afford it so we have an extra on hand when one needs to be washed, etc..., but at least we have one for now. And all three of our kids have similar, but different ones...Hannah's is the white bear (generic since we didn't know boy or girl), Daniel has his blue puppy, and now ????? will have her pink bunny! I'm so excited! We really won't need much for her...bedding set for her crib, another crib mattress pad, another bunny blanket, and I think that's about it...as long as Mom finds the crib that she thinks she might still have. Guess I might need to get a mattress for that crib too, but compared to what all we needed for Hannah, it's next to nothing at all. :-) I actually feel prepared for this little one already! Hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday night! See ya soon!

Hahaha yes, good milk! I really think the only reason Bekah's behind is because my milk wasn't all that great once I got preggers. The formula has helped a bit but she's only just now starting to really bulk up with her regular foods. She loves to eat, that's for sure! I bet she's gained a good 3 or 4 pounds just in the last 6 weeks!

Rebekahs-mama - Wednesday, 12 November
Hey! Sorry for the delay in reply. I fear I'm coming down with a cold and have been sleeping as much as I can. That and the third trimester is already kicking my butt! lol!

We hope to have at least 2 more kids but will take a break after Noah. If God allows it to happen we'd like to wait maybe 3 or 4 years and then have two more back to back like this. Your friend sounds awesome. I haven't had a chance to read her page but I will as soon as I have some spare time. I did see some pictures of you and she when you were both preggers. How fun that must have been!!! Oh, and we'd also like to adopt in the future. Not quite sure when or how it will happen but we both feel like our family won't be complete until we do it!

Yeah, no one tells you how much of a smack in the face new parenting can be! lol! I rememeber feeling really overwhelmed at first. I felt like all I was here for was to be a milk factory for Bekah! lol! At least I know what to expect this time around. Although I can imagine it will be a whole new challenge having Bekah running around the house, too. It sounds like your friend really has it together...or she's just one of those naturals! lol! I thought I was prepard but it was so much harder than I expected those first few weeks to be. Oh, and I totally freaked out when Kevin had to go back to work. I was just so scared about being 100% responsible, ya know?

So crazy to be 30 weeks already. I keep thinking about how my doc says I could go as early as 36 weeks since my pregnancies are so close together and my body is still all stretched out below. I can't imagine having this baby in 6 weeks let alone 10! I don't quite feel ready to give up my alone time with Bekah! But at the same time I'm SOOO excited to have him here. Am I just nuts? It all sounds so silly when I write it down! lol!

So what's Bekah been up to lately? Has she started all her foods now that she's 6 months? How's she liking them? and what other new things is she getting into? Teething, crawling, etc?

Billie just stopped by to visit today and said that her daughter is totally over it and went back to school on Wednesday, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't re-expose them anyways. She said that she didn't get it that bad, only 21 spots total, and her older sister never got it despite their efforts, so the vaccine does work some of the time apparently.

And yeah, I had asked if Mindy would be okay with watching our kids Saturday...haven't heard back from her yet though. So, it's up to you if you want to let Rebakah around them. The 21 days is up on the 17th. Hannah has some spots that showed up the day after Halloween from her costume, but they're definitely not the "chicken pox" blisters that would have shown up. More of a heat rash kind of thing from sweating in her costume. That horse is cute, but kinda brutal. She broke out after wearing it at the party too...And Daniel never got a thing. I expected him to get it...figured my milk wasn't that great since I let him get pnemonia at a month old. :-( Poor guy! But another week to be sure...if you guys don't want Bekah to get it.

AtHomeMama - Wednesday, 5 November
No signs of the kids getting chicken pox. If I wasn't pregnant, I would take them back to expose them more. If they get the actual virus, it protects them way better than the shot does...obviously cuz little Kirsten had the shot and she still got the chicken pox. The younger you get it, the easier it is on you, so I might look into it more and see what my midwife thinks...maybe I can at least get Daniel to come down with it...it'd protect him better as an adult than the vaccine will. Hannah might not get it...she only has a 20% chance since she DID get the vaccine already. :-( We went ahead and got it for her cuz most people now-a-days vaccinate for it, so it's not as common to catch it. Who woulda known?

They are now requiring two doses of the vaccine though cuz they've found that just one dose isn't enough...so if she doesn't get it, she'll have to have another varicella vaccine around age 5. We'll see. Chicken Pox in a young child really isn't that bad, it's when you get it when you're older that it sucks...

The incubation period will be over at the latest on the 17th of this month from the day they were over there...unless we end up going back to re-expose our kids on purpose, I'll definitely let you know if we do re-expose them so miss Rebekah doesn't get it. It HAS been a long time since I've gotten to see you though. I almost stopped by last night just to grab my pillow from you...maybe Kevin could take it over to Mindy and Greg's...I'll probably see her again before the 17th. I still have your pan too that I need to get back to you. Those were YUMMY enchiladas! Good job sweetie! Talk to ya soon!

Hello,
We're all fine thanks. Can't believe Ross will be 2 next Wednesday, time flies by doesn't it! Owen will be 6 months in a couple of days. I love the photos of Rebekah, she is beautiful.
Bye for now

AtHomeMama - Sunday, 2 November
Hey gorgeous! Hope you guys had a great Halloween with miss Bekah! We had fun...I made dinner down here at our house and mom and dad came down for dinner, then mom walked around with us to a few houses to trick or treat. Hannah was really getting the hang of it! But if anyone asked her if she was getting lots of candy, she'd proceed to pull it all out of her bag to show them what she had...that took a while! :-) She was great about saying "Thank you" which was WAY cute!

madiraevin - Friday, 31 October
New Halloween pics of madi are up!
