He passed!

Today there is reason for celebrating in our house. Adam took his last licensing exam today and  he is now officially a Securities Broker. For the past two months, he has spent countless hours during the day and almost every evening studying for his two exams. His hard work and dedication paid off and tonight we can celebrate. Starting Monday, he will begin his new journey.

We have enjoyed having him home with us for the last three months and tried to take advantage of it as much as possible. It's really been a blessing for our family and I know the kids will be sad that Daddy will be back at work next week. However, I know Adam is anxious and excited to get started.

Thank you for all of your support and prayers the last few months. We have felt them and the Lord has been good and gracious to us.

Game day pictures


Last weekend we went down to Waco for the Baylor vs Rice game. I took these pictures of the kids with my phone, so they aren't great quality, but the kids smiles make up for that.

37 Weeks - Full Term

Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 37 Weeks 

Size of Baby: Over 19 inches long & weighs 6.75bs
Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 31lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Everything. 

Gender: It's a girl!

Movement: Constantly kicking. 

What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night. Even laying on my side is uncomfortable and I use pillows. Being able to move around with ease. Thankfully, Adam can help me up from the floor when I'm playing with the kids. It's hard when the kids want to sit on my lap and cuddle, but there isn't much room and it's pretty uncomfortable for me.

Cravings:  Nothing really right now. When dining out the other day, I was looking over the dessert menu and almost everything on it sounded delicious. Although, that isn't really anything too far fetched, because I love desserts, even if I don't eat a lot of them.

Symptoms: I can proudly say that switching to my new OTC heartburn medicine has made all the difference. In the past two weeks, I haven't felt any form of heartburn, which has been a huge relief. Saturday evening we drove down to Waco for the Baylor vs Rice game. The weather wasn't too bad, but I did notice that my ankles and legs started to swell some. It's still there a little, nothing too bad thought. Sleepless nights have begun. I can hardly get comfortable at night and can barely turn over. I'm constantly going to the bathroom.

Best Moment of the Week: As I mentioned, we went to the Baylor game this weekend, which was the last home game we will attend before Peyton's arrival. Technically there is one more home game before her due date, but we won't be attending it. The next game we will attend will be Homecoming in November. It's so neat to think that we will be attending it as a family of five.

I had my checkup this morning. I was hoping I would have something to update, but I'm still only 3cm and 50% effaced. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. It would be wonderful if she made her appearance this week. The doctor still said he believes it will be sooner rather than later. You better believe I will be doing everything I can to make sure it's sooner. I've been extremely uncomfortable and the pressure makes it extremely hard to walk. Our bags are packed and ready for her arrival. So now we just wait and see.

Weekend happenings

During the fall, our weekends usually include College Football. The great thing about living back in Texas during this time of year, is that we get to attend the home games of the Baylor Football team. It's nice living only an hour and a half from Waco and being to able to go down and visit whenever we want. I know Adam is especially enjoying this.

This will probably be our last home game before Peyton's arrival. The kids enjoy it so much. We were a bit worried if they would tolerate the heat and the fact that every game we have attended so far has been a night game, but it doesn't seem to phase them.

Last weekend at the game, lightning flashed across the sky about two minutes before half time. The game was delayed due to a storm heading our way. Adam thought it would be best if we just called it a night, especially since Baylor was already up 34-0. As we walked out of the stadium, we called to see if Adam's brother could come down from the press boxes to see the kids for a few minutes. Mason & Taylor adore their Uncle David.

This picture captures their admiration wonderfully.


Two weeks ago, we were driving to Costco when I saw what looked like a castle from the freeway. We decided to drive by and this is what we found.

It's a beautiful piece of property. I speculate that someone famous lives there, because it's in a tucked away location and it really isn't seen that well from the freeway, except for the points of the house. I think it's someone on the Dallas Cowboys or the Mavericks.

Nesting

This week has been a bit of a wake up call for me. While I realize that I'm 36 weeks pregnant, I have yet to really start my nesting phase. I don't think it's really denial, but really more about the fact that we have everything that we need this time around for our third child.

The great thing about having a boy and a girl, no matter what sex the third child is, you should everything you need. This is a blessing. We have been busy at our house getting the kids in the routine of school and Adam has been busy studying for his last licensing exam.

It didn't really hit me that I needed to start getting things ready for Peyton's arrival until my checkup this week. While I fully expected to be making some progress this early on, I was a bit shocked to see that I'm already 3cm dilated. With the realization that I could go into labor at anytime, I knew I needed to make my to-do list.

I had already done a few things, like sort out all of Taylor's old girl clothes that I had saved and set up a new crib in Peyton's room. But I still needed to get things ready for the first few months of Peyton's arrival.

So yesterday, I made a list and it was really long. Today, Adam was so kind and took a break from studying to help me. We cleaned the entire house from top to bottom, set up space for Peyton in our room, did laundry, and I finally have my bag packed for the hospital. I feel at peace and glad to have everything done. Peyton can arrive anytime after next Tuesday when Adam takes his last exam.

What to pack for delivery

With Peyton's arrival just around the corner, I realized that I still hadn't packed my hospital bag. I made a list of all the things I wanted to bring and tried to remember some of the necessities that help make my life easier after delivery. I thought I would share some of those things with you.

1. Dermoplast.
First and foremost, my all time favorite thing to have after delivering a baby (This really only comes into play if you had a vaginal birth). This stuff is from heaven! Thankfully, after delivering Mason, my nurses shared the wonders of Dermoplast with me. It makes walking around and even sitting that much easier. Basically, I like to call it magic in a can. When I delivered Taylor, I asked one of the nurses for a can at the hospital and she looked at me like I was nuts. Not really sure why, because I thought all maternity nurses were aware of how wonderful and necessary it is for healing. I will probably buy some just to have an extra one around the house.


 2. Johnson's Nursing Pads.
I seriously wish someone told me about nursing pads before I delivered my first child. I have tried many different kinds and for me, Johnson's worked best. I will say that I gave reusable(washable) pads a try and they just didn't cut it for me.

3. Medela Lanolin.
Nursing is a beautiful and natural thing, however it can also be rough for the first couple of days to weeks. This helps with the transition and allowed me to enjoy nursing.

4. Pacifiers.
These pacifiers are awesome. I also really like the Avent pacifiers. My son took to pacifiers right away, where my daughter never took one a day in her life. She was a thumb sucker, which I didn't like at first, but proved helpful in that she could soothe herself back to sleep.


5. Soothies.
Again the nurse I had when I was in the hospital with Mason, told me about these wonderful gel pads that make nursing easier. I used to put mine in the fridge to keep them cold and it was even better.

The list is much longer than these items, but these are some of my favorites. Here is a tip that one of my nurses shared with me when I was in the hospital with my first:

When they bring the baby into your room, there are drawers underneath the cart and they are filled with items you will need, like diapers, wipes, lanolin, formula, pacifiers and a couple of other things. Every time they take the baby away to the nursery, they check the drawers to see if they need to be refilled. She said to basically empty those drawers and make your own stockpile of items to take home with you. We had almost a month's worth of diapers for Mason before we even broke into what we had at home. With Taylor, we weren't in the hospital for a full 24hours after her delivery and they never took her to the nursery, but we still stocked up on what was in the cart.

36 Weeks


Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 36 Weeks
Size of Baby: Over 18.5 inches long & weighs 6lbs
Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 29lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Everything.
Gender: It's a girl!
Movement: Constantly kicking.
What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night. Even laying on my side is uncomfortable and I use pillows. Being able to move around with ease. Thankfully, Adam can help me up from the floor when I'm playing with the kids. It's hard when the kids want to sit on my lap and cuddle, but there isn't much room and it's pretty uncomfortable for me.
Cravings: Not really anything food wise, but I have been on kick of wanting Iced Coffee's. This has to be a craving because I have never really wanted Iced Coffee before or been a fan. I don't even do fraps. Normally, I'm a hot coffee drinker. I wonder if this will change after deliver.
Symptoms: Heartburn, however after last week's experience, I think we finally have it under control.  I'm constantly using the bathroom. We can barely run errands without me having to stop to use the bathroom at least twice. With the heartburn under control for now, I'm sleeping better. I still have to wake up due to bathroom breaks, but I am sleeping a little more soundly.
Best Moment of the Week: I start my weekly appointments. I have one this morning to test for Strep B and see if I've made any progress.

I really should pack my bag for the hospital. I ordered a couple of things for Peyton's arrival, so hopefully in the next few weeks it will arrive.

I received a call from my best friend in Cali telling me that she found a really great deal on tickets to come visit me after Peyton's arrival. Not only that, but we have convinced some of my girlfriends to come as well. Two of them haven't been to Texas before and I can't wait to take them for great Mexican food and show them around. I feel so loved and I know Peyton will  too.

*Edit* Went to the doctor this morning and he checked me and I'm already 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. This is great news in that my body is already doing some of the work now. While this is my third pregnancy and I hope things move a little quicker this time around, I realize that I could still go long after my due date. I don't think that will be the case, but it could happen.

My chest is on fire

So normally, I keep the pregnancy stuff in one post at the beginning of the week, but it has kind of consumed my time this week. I've mentioned that I've had major heartburn with all of my pregnancies and that this time it seems to be worse. It has been waking me up at night to the point where I need to sit all the way up or stand, in fear that I will be sick to my stomach. I don't eat before lying down and I sleep with five pillows.

Monday night I awoke with it and I was seriously uncomfortable. I couldn't shake it. I then got the really watery mouth, where you feel like you should head to the bathroom in fear that you might just throw up. Well good thing I did, because the minute I did, I got sick. I thought it passed, but I was wrong. My entire insides burned due to the acid in my throat. I sat on our bathroom floor and waited to make sure it was all gone before finally heading back to bed three hours later. When I woke up in the morning, I had no voice due to the horrible heartburn.

My OTC heartburn medicine wasn't cutting it, so I opted to call my doctor Tuesday morning. After explaining my situation, they were kind enough to call me in a prescription. Tuesday night,  I slept much better. However, I was still having heartburn throughout the day.

Finally, I decided to switch my OTC medicine to another approved on on my list and thankfully it has done the trick. Smooth sleeping last night and it's been almost 24 hours since I felt a tinge of heartburn.I think my body just got used to my old OTC medicine and I needed to switch it up. Hopefully this will continue and I'm thankful that end of the pregnancy is nearing.

Ten on Tuesday


If you would like a chance to win Chelsea's giveaway, answer your question and link up on her blog.

WOULD YOU RATHER:
1. eat chocolate covered grasshoppers or
this freaky squid thing?
Chocolate Covered grasshoppers. I like seafood and calamari, but that is just too much for me.

2. never see another movie or never watch TV again?
Oh, this is tough. I would say never watch TV again. I went an entire year without watching TV when I was younger. I made a bet with my parents and won $100.

3. be a superhero with a lame power or a supervillain with an awesome power?
Superhero because even if it's a lame power, I would rather be someone that helps. Besides, I would still have some sort of special powers, right?

4. eat only salty snacks for the rest of you life, or only sweet snacks?
Sweet snacks. Chocolate is wonderful and makes me happy!

5. never read another book or never hear another song?
Never read another book. I love music, it's amazing how it can take you to a certain place in your life, or change your mood. Pretty powerful.

6. be a whale carcass remover or a sewer inspector?
Be a whale carcass remover. At least I would be able to inhale some fresh air every once in awhile.

7. have no electricity or no running water?
No electricity. I love my showers too much.

8. be a dog or a cat?
A dog.

9. always be hot or always be cold?
Always be cold. I can't stand to be hot and not have anything to cool down with. At least if I was always cold, I could try to warm myself up with blankets and layers of clothes.

10. be forced to watch all 3 High School Musicals on an endless loop, or the Twilight movies?
All the Twilight Movies, I love them but either is ok.

35 Weeks


Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 35 Weeks
Size of Baby: Over 18 inches long & weighs 5.25lbs
Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 29lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Everything.
Gender: It's a girl!
Movement: Constantly kicking. At my appointment last week, the doctor said she is head down, which gave me a huge sigh of relief. Since there isn't much room for her to move around, doc doesn't believe that she will flip on me.
What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night. Even laying on my side is uncomfortable and I use pillows. Being able to move around with ease. Thankfully, Adam can help me up from the floor when I'm playing with the kids. It's hard when the kids want to sit on my lap and cuddle, but there isn't much room and it's pretty uncomfortable for me.
Cravings: Not really anything food wise, but I have been on kick of wanting Iced Coffee's. This has to be a craving because I have never really wanted Iced Coffee before or been a fan. I don't even do fraps. Normally, I'm a hot coffee drinker. I wonder if this will change after deliver.
Symptoms: The heartburn is getting worse. Usually the Zantac will work, but it gets pretty bad late at night and I have woken up several times this past week with horrible heartburn and acid indigestion, to the point where I worry it will make me throw up. I sleep propped up (5 pillows) and it still happens. Thankfully we had a cool front last week and I'm able to wear my engagement and wedding rings again without any problems or swelling. I waddle whenever I get up. I can't help it, the pressure is intense. I'm constantly using the bathroom. We can barely run errands without me having to stop to use the bathroom at least twice. With the combination of bathroom breaks at night and waking up due to killer heartburn, I'm not sleeping very well. I'm convinced this is how God prepares us for the sleepless nights for the first several months.
Best Moment of the Week: Learning that she was head down.

I'm currently suffering from allergies/cold. Being pregnant with a head cold is the worst because the symptom are intensified. Thankfully, there are a few things that I can take and they are helping some. It probably doesn't help with all the Texas Wildfires we have been having and the wind that has been blowing them around. We had a few hazy days here in North Texas.
As I was looking through pictures of my past pregnancies, I realized tonight that I'm carrying very similar to my pregnancy with Mason. Which is funny if you think about the wives tales out there.
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm ready and the answer is YES! Not only do I look forward to holding our baby girl, but I'm ready to not be pregnant. It's been a pretty smooth pregnancy and I love being pregnant, but I'm so much more uncomfortable this go around. I think my readiness is also due to the fact that we are pretty sure that Peyton will be our last. I'm ready to have my family complete. Mason & Taylor ask on a daily basis when Peyton will be here. They are so excited to meet their little sister, you can tell they already love her so much.
I know that I will look back and miss being pregnant. I've learned so much with each pregnancy. With Mason, I was so excited to become a mother for the first time. With Taylor, I was thrilled to be having a girl. With this one, I'm so thankful that I was able to conceive again and knowing Peyton will most likely be our last is pretty special to me. Though there are days when I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore, I will forever treasure all of the kicks I have felt and still be in aw of the miracle of life. I'm so thankful that God chose me to be their mommy.

Playtime with Mason & Taylor

In the past  few days, I've noticed that Mason & Taylor really enjoy playing with each other. They used to go in the playroom and play with their toys, just separately. Now, they are almost always playing together and usually without fighting. That doesn't mean they don't have their moments.

Earlier today, I was invited to their 'restaurant.' I had a seat and dined on the finest pizza in town and they even served me my favorite drink, iced tea. It was so cute to watch them pretend to be waiters and hand me a little menu.

Hopefully this is just the beginning. They really love spending time with each other and are finally getting to the point where they can play together without fighting or purposed irritating each other. Both of them have very creative imaginations. I captured this picture of Taylor watching Mason draw on his leapfrog game.

Childhood Memories

Kristen at Confessions of a (Not-So) Domesticated Newywed shared some questions that her and her spouse shared with each other, when they were in the early stages of getting to know each other. Of course they were regarding their childhood and today she shared the questions and her answers. I thought it would be fun to do the same.

Question #1 How far back can you remember your childhood (how old)?
I honestly can remember back all the way to three years of age. It's not just because I have seen pictures, but I remember certain situations and can vidily picture them in my head. This means I can remember as far back at 1983.

When I googled things that happened in 1983, I came across this:
- The Red Hot Chili Peppers released their first, self-titled album. That is crazy to me, because I had no idea they were even a band that far back.
- Popular movie releases: Twilight Zone, Terms of Endearment, Star Wars the Return of the Jedi, Scarface, & Flashdance (gotta love the leg warmers)

Question #2 Who would you say had the biggest part in raising you?
Both of my parents. I wouldn't be where I am today without my mom & dad. I'm still very close with them and look to them for wisdom and advice.
Obviously these pictures are older, which reminds me that we need to get some updated pictures. With my mom in 2005.
This one is even older, because I think this was taken on my 24th birthday, so 7 years ago and I had blonde hair. My dad looks exactly the same. He never ages.

Question #3 Name 3 of your favorite childhood toys.
Cabbage Patch Kids. I loved dolls and these were my favorite. I also had a ton of Barbies.


Question #4 What was your favorite Disney movie?
Little Mermaid is my all time favorite. I also loved Alladin and The Lion King. Did you know they are re-releasing The Lion King on DVD and in movie theaters in October? I still think my kids are too young for Lion King, but I can't wait until they are old
 enough to watch it.

Question #5 Favorite cartoon?
Rainbow Bright. I had the whole bedroom set. I also liked the Muppet Babies, Gonzo was my favorite. He was so misunderstood.

Question #6 Were you an only child?
No, I have a sister that is four years older than me. My parents recently adopted a teenage boy that is 16 years younger than me last year.

My sister is going to kill me for posting this picture, but this was us when I was around four years old and she was eight.

Question #7 Where did you live at the age of 4?
I lived with my mom, sister, Mamma, & Pappa in Deer Park, Tx.

Question #8 Where were you born?
Houston, Tx! Can you tell that I'm proud to be a Texan?

Question #9 What were you scared of the most as a child?
Snakes, bugs, and the dark. I still am not a fan of the dark (especially when I'm alone).

Question # 10 What’s your favorite childhood memory?
I have a lot of fond memories. I guess my favorite memory as a child would be all the road trips our  family would take. Sometimes we would just go camping and other times we would take a week where we visited three different cities in Texas. My favorite camping spot is Garner State Park.


We would float or swim in the Frio River and hike the mountains in the back of the picture. One time my dad and I did a little cave exploration. It was such a tight space and pitch black, so we decided not to go too far, not to mention all the spiders. Ick!

Ten on Tuesday


Be sure to stop by Roots And Rings and enter Chelsea's ToT for her giveaway on week 100.

1. What temperature do you keep your thermostat on during the day?
78 degrees and I have all the fans in the house going during the hotter months.
67 degrees during the winter.

2. What temperature do you keep your thermostat on at night?
74 degrees during the hotter months. I would prefer cooler, but this is the lowest I will go. If our room didn't stay so warm, I would have it at 76 degrees.
69 degrees during the winter.

3. In a canister of mixed nuts, do you pick out certain varieties and leave the others?
I don't really like mixed nuts. If I'm going to eat nuts, it's either almonds or peanuts and I don't like eating them together.

4. What is your favorite kind of M&M?
Coconut. Adam once bought me a case of them at Sam's.

5. How do you buy books? (Amazon, bookstore, new, used, electronic, etc)
Amazon, bookstore or used. I prefer to hold a book and flip the pages rather an electronically. I get the benefits of the Nook and Kindle, but I just can't seem to switch over. Not to mention I love the smell of books.

6. How do you like your eggs cooked?
Depends on my mood, but either Sunny Side Up or Scrambled.

7. Can you whistle?
Yes.

8. What common word do you always misspell?
Not really sure if there is one that I misspell all the time, but maybe successful.

9. Are you afraid of flying?
No, my dad has been in the airlines business since I was very young and we did a lot of flying.

10. How often do you go shopping?
Groceries - Twice a month, except once a week for milk and bread.
Clothes - Hardly ever, unless it's for the kids then usually it's seasonal because they are constantly growing. I tend to find something and then put it back. I literally have to convince myself to by something for me.

34 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 34 Weeks
Size of Baby: 18 inches long & weighs 4.75lbs
Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 26lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Everything.
Gender: It's a girl!
Movement: Constantly kicking and moving. Hopefully, that means she is moved head down.
What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night, which won't change for awhile with nursing. Being able to bend with ease. If something drops, I have to ask Adam or the kids to help me pick it up. I miss being able to wear my wedding rings. Since it's been so hot up in the DFW area, I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings since the end of June.
Cravings: Nothing. My eating habits have been so different with this pregnancy and I don't have any cravings compared to being pregnant with Taylor. I have always heard that if you are having a girl, you usually crave sweets and if you are having a boy you crave salty foods. This proved true with Mason & Taylor. This time, I haven't had anything that stands out. I'm not constantly hungry, which I always was with my other two pregnancies. Goes to show that each pregnancy is completely different.
Symptoms: Heartburn which I have to state first because it has been consistent in all of my pregnancies. I wake up with it in the morning and I haven't even eaten anything for almost 12 hours. Thank goodness for Zantac, because Tums never cut it for me. On really hot days when I'm outside a lot or on my feet most of the day, I'll have swollen ankles by the end of the day. I'm constantly getting up to go to the bathroom. It doesn't help that I drink a ton of water to try and combat swelling and dehydration with the heat outside.
Best Moment of the Week: I have my next checkup this week. After this weeks appointment, I start going every week until I deliver her.

College Football

It's no surprise that we are huge College Football fans. Personally, I would rather watch College Football over NFL any day, because I love all the traditions (I still like the NFL). With the opening weekend of College Football being over Labor Day, we couldn't wait to get down to Waco, Tx for the Baylor vs TCU game.

This would be our first Baylor game since we moved back from California. Not going to any home games during our three years in California was a killer for Adam. So for our 5th wedding anniversary, I surprised him with season tickets for the fall. This would also be the kids first time to go to a Baylor football game.

I had ordered a couple of really cute Baylor dresses off of Zulily for Taylor & Peyton, but they haven't been delivered just yet. Hopefully Taylor's dress will be here in time for the game against SFA in two weeks. While we were in Waco, we made sure to stop by the bookstore to look for Gold Rush shirts and so that I could get a comfy cushion for the game. It's killer to sit on bleachers eight months pregnant for that long.

While it was really hot, the game was a blast. The kids had so much fun and were the biggest cheerleaders for those Baylor football players. If you didn't know, they won. It was a close game, but a great one because both schools battled back and forth, which always makes it entertaining. We are so proud of the Bears. Can't wait to see what this season holds.
The stands were packed and the crowd was so loud.

 Daddy with Mason & Taylor before the game started.

 Mommy & Mason. Notice my awful tan lines from Memorial Day weekend. Yes, I realize it's Labor Day and they are still around.

 Don't let this picture fool you, Taylor was the biggest cheerleader all through the game. She stayed up way past her bedtime with a slight fever and never complained a bit.

 Aunt Emily took this of Mason & Taylor cheering on the Bears.
 Mason & Aunt Emily at the game.
Thanks Aunt Emily & Uncle David for having us this weekend. We had a blast and so did the kids.
