April and May Catch Up!

 At the start of April Rebecca hit the "terrible 2s" a few months early. Sigh.


 A 16 year old Rebecca scares me.

When she is good, she is good but man, when she is bad watch out!
 Tula got her her first pair of tiny wedges.  Every girl needs these in their closet.
 Date night with Will. :)

  Love my crazys.
 Special donut time with the oldest.
 Perot Museum fun!

 Last soccer game of the season!


 Tate Riley Dodge was born and we are all so in love with our newest peanut.
 Tate chilling on his future bud.
When you only have two cousins they turn into siblings so basically he is my nephew. :)
 My other cousin asked Amanda and I to be in her wedding.  I can't wait to stand beside her on her special day!
 Looking old.
 Sass.
 First trim! Getting some hair... finally.
 LOVES to read.
 Benjamin lays down with me with the Ipad most days during Rebecca's nap time.  This rare day he actually fell asleep.  So sweet.
 "Baby."
 That was one heavy grocery cart.
 Note: Socks.
 Girls weekend with my forever friends.


 Only Megan would let a 1 year old put on her wedding ring.  Rebecca loved it.
 Kids, you will love each other.
 The crew.

 Getting all the baby gear out. This was the first and last time she sat in this things.
 How was he ever that tiny?!
 Sass.
 They look like 90 year old tourist.

 Fun run at school!

 We had lots of runners participating.


 Bubble fun.

Baby #3!

 Baby #3 is fast approaching and we are getting excited!
 Love a good belly comparison... Rebecca is the first, and #3 the last.
20 Weeks
 28 Weeks
 36 Weeks
This week marks my 37th week and I had my third growth scan on the baby.  Majority of this pregnancy baby has been measuring 3 weeks ahead.  Rebecca was always 3 weeks ahead too and then on the last scan she had slowed down.  This baby hasn't slowed down! As of this week the guess is it weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces and is the 97% in all areas.  There is a little concern the shoulders could be measuring bigger than the head.  My plan is to try to have it the natural way and if that plan doesn't work out C-section could be in my future. The head is down ready to go and I am feeling it. :) I have about 50ish Braxton Hicks a day and then a few real contractions at night.  Based on the size of the baby my doctor said our goal needs to be have it at the smallest weight possible.  So in two weeks (I will be 39 weeks) I am being induced.  I have never been induced as my first two came on their own a week early so this is new territory for me.  We still think there is a big chance I will go into labor on my own before June 19th.
 Reality people.
 During the photo shoot above, my oldest was having the mother of all meltdowns.  He chose to sit in timeout for 45 minutes instead of cleaning up 5 toys! Let's add one more.... :)
Today I thank God for my precious family of 4.  I am trying to soak up this season of life as much as I can.  I am so blessed and so thankful to God for my precious husband and children.
