Weekend

We had a good weekend. I don't feel like I really accomplished that much though. Friday night, John and I took it easy...pizza & movie. Saturday my sister and mom came over to help me work on the boys' rooms. We painted doors, painted letters, washed swing and bassinet and clothes, hung pictures....but still didn't totally finish the room. So I'm not showing pictures of the rooms until all is done!


Saturday night - I had my first babysitter (besides family) to come and watch Jax after he went to bed so we could have a night out. We were going to the Rendezvous, but I didn't think I could stand in line to wait for a table that long. We ended up at Outback Steakhouse where I had painful contractions about 5 minutes apart for 40 minutes. So we had to come straight home and let me lay down. They got more sporadic so we didn't have to go to the hospital after all.


Sunday we went to church. Then Karen and my mom came over again to help me. We didn't do much at all Sunday. Karen and I got in the pool with the kiddies for a little while. It's hard to believe but the water has already started getting cold! Jax had a great time riding "Big Red." His Grandaddy got it a few weeks ago, and Jax wants to be in it so much he would probably sleep in it!

Baby - the contractions were really intense and painful Sunday night. I panicked a little because I thought it was time, but then they slowed down and got further apart. I was getting John to come and feel the difference in my stomach when I was contracting. From across the room, he said, "I can see the difference!." My stomach got so tight and looked so deformed during the contractions - they are definitely the hardest I've had thus far. Appointment is at 1:45 - bag is packed - clothes are washed - just no name for baby yet!!!!!!!


Here are some pics from the weekend:

Jax kept jumping up and down and diving head first out of this float! Luckily he holds his breath when he goes under.

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Never Say Never!!! :)

I'm so proud to say that I made it one whole day without opening the envelope. LOL!!! John and I took Jax to the zoo yesterday. We were talking about the ultrasound on the way there, and John finally admitted that he REALLY did see the screen when we weren't supposed to look. He SAYS he didn't mean to, and that he thought she was finished. But, he said that the screen was zoomed in and he saw boy parts! So I ripped the envelope open as soon as we got home for our early-not so surprise- surprise . . . and here is what we saw. Anyway, I'll probably have to ban John for going in the ultrasound on number 3 now. Any volunteers to take his place??? I didn't really have any expectations about gender this time around . . . but I will admit that I'm hoping the third will be a girl!!! I think it's fun that Jax will have a brother to grow up with. And, I've got plenty of clothes for this one too. So there's our news. And for those of you that said I there...
