Check ups

The kids had their check ups today. Titus had his 4 month (actually 5 month) check up and shots, and Raquelle had her 18 month. Stats are as follows:

Titus:
Weight - 18 lbs 10 oz - 95th percentile
Height - 27.5" - Off the chart

Raquelle:
Weight - 24 lbs 1 oz - 50th percentile
Height - 34.5" - Off the chart

I think they may have miss-measured Raquelle. When I measured her at home just a couple weeks ago I measured her at 32.5". So, if she doesn't grow any (according to her chart) between now and her next check up, we'll know I was right.

So it wasn't in my head...Raquelle has gotten skinny. She has always been 5oish percentile in both height and weight. She shot up, but her weight hasn't caught up with her height yet. This would be why she suddenly went down a pants size recently. Her diapers look like she could go down a size there if we wanted to also.

Both kids are right on track and both kids were given a clean bill of health. Even Titus's hernia has gone away on it's own since the last checkup.

That's all for now. I'll try to include pictures in my next post.

Hmm, Titus may have gotten his curly hair from his dad's side of the family, but the height didn't come from him, none of my kids were on the high side of the scale at those ages. So glad they are doing so well! --Love from the MT grandma

He got curls from dad and height from mom. Remember one of your uncles was either 6'4 or 6'5 and grandpa was 6'2 and cousins are well over 6' with one of them being 6'6 Grandma K

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.

Raquelle is here!

Raquelle Elizabeth was born Sunday March 5th at 5:49 AM after 41 hours of labor! I was sent home from the hospital 3 times Friday and Saturday because I was not making very fast Progress. Contractions started out 3 min apart Friday at noon and got really strong by about 11 am on Saturday. I could no longer stand the pain so they had to keep me this time. By 4 pm I was at 3.5 cm and Contractions were 2 to 3 min apart, and so strong I was shaking uncontrolably through them. So I begged for an epi (gave up on going natural after the first 28 hours). The epi was the most traumatic part of the whole thing. As they were putting it in, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low and they had to rip it out and give me two shots of epinephrin to raise it back up and then start over. The 2nd try, they put the needle in too deep and punctured the fluid behind the epidural cavity, which caused the fluid between my brain and spinal cord to start leaking. This causes horrible migrain headaches that th...

The Dream Giver

I haven't written in a while, but as I start to toy with the idea of moving away from facebook, I find myself toying with the idea of reactivating this old blog.  I'm not sure what direction it will take.  Perhaps an overview of things I am learning?  Perhaps cute stories about the kids and every day life?  Maybe an occasional allergy friendly recipe... I don't know.  For now, I am a firm believer in life long learning and mentorship.  I strive to discipline my brain and my personal development daily with books I read, what I watch or listen to, Bible studies, and people I hang out with.  I just finished reading the book "The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of "The Prayer of Jabez."  I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed this  book! A short overview.  "The Dream Giver" is about a "nobody" named "Ordinary" who lives in the land of "familiar."  Every day, he wakes up and goes to the same job.  ...
