A cold day!

What do you do with 3 small children when the high for the day is 36?

You dress them really warm before you leave for the zoo!


Monkeys
Elephant! I didn't get it in this pictures, but the elephant had a baby not long ago. So we got to see the little baby elephant with its mommy!
Polar bear. This is the smaller one. The other one was huge! The sign said he was over 1000 lbs!

And the highlight of our trip to the zoo! "Bird land on mommy! Bird drink mommys juice all gone!"

Apparently, the birds thought Thad had some juice too!
"What a pretty baby!" (says the bird!)
The first bird invited his friends to share!
And that is what you do with small children with cabin fever on a cold day. Due to the cold, there was hardly anyone there! We had no trouble getting right up to the windows and fences to see the animals. Aside from the birds, Raquelle has been talking on and on about the lion, bear, and "big gecko" (crocodile) .

The pic with a bird on Thad's head is AWESOME! What a funny moment. Looks like so much fun and I bet it was nice to get out.

Kim and I went with the little guys to the zoo when I helped her move to Newport. I loved those birds!!! Asher was too scared to come in with me. Aren't they pretty?

Birth Story

Ok, as promised, here is Titus birth story and it's probably going to be pretty long. It actually starts 2 weeks ago with prodominal labor. I had this with Raquelle where I start contracting early, but make no cervical change. We went to the hospital on Sunday night the 8th with contractions 4 min apart. The contractions were making no change, but Titus HB was low and not variable enough so they kept me. After monitoring over night, there had been no progress, but his HB was better. My MW offered to try a cytotec to ripen things up and see if that would get things going for him to be born. I had the first dose at 8 AM and a 2nd dose around noon. They caused my ctx to become very consistent but not incredibly painful. By the end of the day I had made no progress and his HB had been better so we went home. Went to the dr the next day and she offered to induce with pitocin. We said no. Then next Sunday the 15th, I had been cleaning all day and probably over did it (my mom wa...

2 month check up

I don't want to forget to blog about the kids!  When we have a new baby, I love to be able to look back and see how their growth and milestones compare to their siblings! Annabelle is 11 weeks old today.  She had her 2 month check up last week.  We are battling thrush again just like we did with the first 3.  She does NOT nurse well (still),  but I haven't had to go to formula yet.  Every day, feeding her is a struggle and it feels like a long uphill battle. Her 2 month stats - Height - 23.75" Weight - 12 lbs 8 oz She is way ahead on her social milestones.  She already imitates me and will track objects and turn her head to keep following them when they go out of her line of sight. She doesn't tolerate tummy time very well though, so she hasn't built up as much strength as her oldest sibling had by this age.  She is still right on track with what is normal though.  I don't have her paper in front of me now, but she is right about 7...

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.
