nothing too exciting

Well this weekend we did a little bit of shopping and had a FFA officer Christmas party on Sunday. Saturday night we met Rusty's family at On The Border to celebrate some birthdays. In the parking lot they were actually giving camel rides...and yes Sagen was right in the middle of it. I think the picture says enough! I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon for our 3D sonogram. I am so excited! I will post pictures from it soon!

28 week appointment

Well yesterday we had our 28 week check up and everything is going good. I have gained a total of 15 pounds. According to his measurements, Slayde is almost 3 pounds! About 2.75. You could see his chubby cheeks on the sonogram. It was so funny! He already looks just like his daddy and sister! He is still head down with his feet under my ribs which can be quite painful. We go back on December 14 for our 3D sonogram. I can't wait! They also did the diabetes test where you have to drink that orange drink. My diabetes test came back fine but I am anemic. They said I need to eat some more red meat and leafy green vegetables as well as be sure to take my prenatals (which I sometimes forget!) I was really proud of myself because I did the blood work ALL BY MYSELF! Yes I know~doesn't sound like a big feat but I was proud of myself. Its the first time I've done it completely alone. Sagen and Rusty were still setting up my appointment for next time and I had to take the blood at a certain time or they had to redo the whole test. So I am officially a big girl lol! Well, I hope everyone has a great week and stays warm!

Thanksgiving Break

Sagen with all of her cousins at mom's house. Its challenging to get them to all look/smile but this one turned out pretty cute.


The only way we could get Sagen and Jett to be semi still was to put them in a wheelbarrow. I thought it turned out really cute though!


Rusty's cousin had uploaded a Dora episode on her i-phone. It entertained the kids for a long time. I thought it was so cute how focused they all were!


Sagen and her cousin Avery. They had so much fun playing!

Well I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did. On Wednesday we put up our Christmas tree and Sagen was a lot of help. haha On Thursday we went to Nana and Opey's for lunch and then went to Rusty's grandmothers for supper. We got to see all of our family so it was really nice. On Friday mom and I went shopping at about 430 in the morning. We had a lot of fun and got some really great deals. We were back by around noon so the guys could go on their annual hunting trip. We relaxed the rest of the break at mom's house and then hurried back to school this morning. It sure did fly by! We have our 28 week doctor's appointment this afternoon so I will let everyone know how it goes! Love yall!

Leaves

We have a fruitless mulberry tree in our back yard and Rusty loves it! haha He raked up a HUGE pile of leaves and Sagen had a blast playing in them. There are still a few thousand that needs to fall from the tree but the backyard looks much better without the leaves. Sagen didn't want to stop to take pictures but I managed to coax her into taking a few. Enjoy!

Cotton

Sagen with Mamaw and Papaw in the cotton. Notice how tall it is!

I couldn't get this to turn but I thought it was a sweet picture.

This weekend we had a fun time. Saturday we went to a birthday party at Jump N Jungle for Kambree. She had a blast and was absolutely worn out when it was over. She fell asleep before we got out of Lubbock. I took her by toys r us so she could pick out stuff for santa to get her. I swear I don't know where the child gets her taste from! She picks out some of the ugliest babies and stuffed animals. Sunday we went to Mamaw and Papaw's house to see the cotton before the stripped it. Papaw has a really great crop and we are all excited about it. It is the best dry land that we have seen! We got some cute pictures in it. We have UIL this week so it has been super busy! I have to go to Wellman on Thursday and direct the calculator contest and then Friday the Dragons are playing Sands in the first game of the playoffs! The FFA is going to be tailgating before the game so it will be fun. Sagen is going to stay with Nana so we can actually watch the football game! Hope everyone has a great week!

24 week Dr. Appointment

getting ready to go down head first!

She had so much fun!

Yesterday we had our 24 week doctor appointment and everything looked great. I gained 6 pounds since my last visit! I guess you could say I am making up for lost time haha. I am going to try to slow down on the weight gain until he is born! haha Slayde weighs a little over 1.5 pounds and is very active. Dr. Killeen said that my fluid levels looked great (that would be in due for the 5 bottles of water I drink a day!) He estimated that Slayde would be a little over 7 pounds when he is born. He is already head down...and VERY active! I could see his chubby cheeks on the sonogram~just like Rusty!

After our Dr. appointment we took Sagen across the street to the big play ground. She had so much fun and is absolutely fearless! She went down the biggest slides head first! I couldn't believe it! After the playground we ran a few errands and then came home. We had a great time! I go back to the doctor on the 30th for my gestational diabetes test...so I'm going to try to be a good girl and cut back on the sugar!

Kids say the Darndest things!

Ok I just had to share with everyone what Sagen said this morning. I thought it was absolutely priceless and shows her intelligence. Every morning she sees me stand on the scale on my way to school and grumble about gaining a few pounds. This morning as we were leaving she stood on the scale and said, "Yep I'm still just 3. Right Mom, it says I'm three until January 5." It cracked me up and I said yep your exactly right Sagen! I love her way of thinking~that means I'm just 26 pounds! haha Another funny thing she did last night was demonstrate to me how to make a hoolahoop work. We were getting in the bath and she told me she wanted a hoolahoop from santa. I said I didn't think she knew how to do one and she showed me with her imaginary one how to make it spin. It was so cute! She can move her hips! We have a doctor appointment this afternoon for our 24 week check up. I will let everyone know how it goes!
