Doctor Appointment

Today I had a Dr. appointment and they did an ultrasound to estimate baby weight. They estimate that she is about 7lbs 15 ozs right now. Of course, I still have 2 1/2 weeks left so, we shall see how big she actually is when she is born. Luckily, he is going to induce me a week early (I was hoping for 2 weeks, but oh well). So, if I do not have the baby before then I will be induced on the 22nd. I am 3 1/2 centimeters dialated compared to the 2 1/2 last week.

Mother's Day Wish

Happy Mother's Day to all who are mothers and all who have mothers. I hope you had a wonderful day. I sure did! My kids are great. I'm so thankful they love me so much, despite my faults. I love them dearly. Charlie is also a wonderful husband who helped feel like a very special mom today. I love him dearly too.

Some share time

The kids and I made some homemade clay. Then we shaped it, baked it and painted it. They loved it. I thought I'd share it with you. The link below is where I got the recipe, if you're interested.

Today I got my hair cut. I really like it. Thought you might like to see what it looks like.

Bradyn's Birthday!!!!

Bradyn's Birthday was last week and we had a party for him on Saturday. He was able to invite a few friends and we went to a local pizza place. He had a great time. You can check out more pictures on my personal blog.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I know we don't really celebrate this holiday, but it's still fun to wish everyone a happy day.

Thought I'd change things up a bit. What do you think?

We made it!

So our TV fast challenge is now over. We actually did pretty well with it too. When we went back to Michigan to pull parts off of our wrecked van we let the kids watch TV that weekend. Then this passed Saturday we let them watch a movie with the babysitter while we went on a date. Other than that, we stuck to the challenge. I even stuck to it although I was tempted several times to play a little game of Text Twist here or there or put on a movie while I folded laundry. I resisted though. I'm actually glad it's over. It will be nice to let the kids watch TV every now and then and let them play the computer and video games again. That may sound bad, but they are good time fillers when the kids are complaining about being bored or when I have something I want to get finished without interruptions. Yes, it may make me a bad mom, but I let the TV babysit my kids sometimes.
