A little behind.....

So I am a little behind on the belly pic.. Dont know what happened so here it is

29w4d

Dont pay attention to the "back fat" rolling over my pants.. (ugh!)

The pregnancy is going pretty good.. The last month or so has been rough more throwing up and not eating and Heartburn like no other... Cant sleep, cant hardly walk (lol freaking hurts!) so yeah, Im in pain most of the time and uncomfortable, but at least this week I have been feeling better and eating too!

I think I posted before that I had only gained a whopping 7lbs this whole pregnancy... so my midwife was a little concerned that maybe baby wasnt growing right... so we had an ultrasound on Monday (19w2d) and she was measuring 19w4d (pretty much right on target, not smaller thats for sure!) and she weighs 3lbs 1oz!! I was reading online to see what baby should weigh at 29 weeks and it was between 2 and 2 1/2 pounds... I was hoping she was at least 2lbs (I was getting worried) and she was a little over 3lbs... So I am super happy that everything is good and she is weighing what she is supposed to...

Oh and on a side note... We still have no name for our little girl... We have found a few more that are in the mix now... so who knows!

We also had Gavin's Pine wood Derby race on Saturday It was his (our) first time so we had NO clue what to do and how to do it... so this is his car before the wheels were put on

Pretty good for first timers... 

We warned him days before the race that he will probably lose because it is our first time and we have to practice and some of the other boys have done it a few times so they know a little more... 

Well............... He lost...... Pretty fast 

He was a little bummed but a good sport, and we all had a good time...

(Dont have pictures cause my camera is messed up, and my phone died)

Also.......... I have been a little bored and while I am not that good at sewing I try to keep myself busy!

Brittany wanted a swaddle blanket for her new baby so I offered to make one.. 

Hoping it works out and actually works...

If not (sorry Brit, I will buy you a real one lol)

We tried it out on one of the girls baby dolls seems to work ... but this baby doesn't move...

I am gonna be working on a few other things soon and hopefully they will turn out... if not at least I kept myself entertained....

Gotta love em'

We haven't been doing much lately Just the same ol' school homework and getting through the day....

As I said before Gavin joined scouts about a month ago and is just loving it! He had just a few days to receive his bobcat (I think thats what it was) and he did it.

Well I guess when the kids pass some things the mom gets a pin too.. so I got a little something too... So nice!

Gavin showing off his badge

Taking a closer look, he was so proud of himself

And so are we... Good job Gavin... 

And I have absolutely NOTHING for this baby.. I am kinda cutting it down to the wire .... 

If you know me I really HATE spending money... I LOVE to save! So of course I look for deals EVERYWHERE...  I found this swing on my way home from dropping kids off at school a neighbor was giving it away (FREE) so I picked it up and  gave it a good wash down! It looks brand new!! So proud of myself!  New (to me) swing  FREE!

Loving it!!  Just trying to keep the other kids off of it... Why must they try to sit in it.?!?!?

Now.... For the reason for this post!   

Makai

Such a trouble maker............

The boys left their "ladder" against the tree and I  catch Makai half way up it... oh gosh!  

Now this "ladder is just leaning on the tree, its not nailed in or anything so its not that stable..

He gets to the top ... still not that happy with hisself he was hoping to get up into the tree...

What is this kid thinking... 

And............

The girls came running to me... saying Makai was stuck... well I took my sweat time, and walked to the back room ( he is always stuck and I didn't hear any crying, I'm really not THAT mean.)

I found him like this.. and thought I could easily get  him out... UH NO!  He really was stuck! I told the girls to grab my camera while I thought of a  way to get him out.... I couldn't make him go under or pull him from the top... at first he wasn't crying ... so I wasn't that worried...

Notice the toy bin he is standing on... dont know if that was just there or if thats how he climbed in there or if the girls put in under him (cause apparently they tried to rescue him before they came to get me).. but if he wasnt standing on it... He would be pretty much choking on that bar that is right under his chin... Lucky kid!

And last night I walked in to THIS... 

Makai got into a tub of Vaseline..... 

He was just playing away!! Glad he was having fun... 

Of you notice all the little white round things... Yeah those are nursing pads... He was using those to wipe himself off when I first walked in... he was saying "Eww... Eww.." while wiping off the gunk with nursing pads! lol

Just wanted to show you how much he really had in his hair.. I think he thought it was gel...

Good thing he made me laugh cause this crap was hard to get out!

Gave him a bath... washed him 3 or 4 times and then washed his hair 3 times and I still had to rub him down with a towel after cause it just didn't come off...  while I was still rubbing the stuff out of his hair he fell asleep! His hair was stuck like that cause I couldn't get it out... He looks like Bozo!

So if any of you wonder what goes on during a typical day at my house with 5 kids... 

There ya go!
