Wednesday Pregnancy Report-- on Friday

(Yes, I deserve a "Time Out". Does that mean I get a nap?)

*blush*

Okay, so I realized late last night that I never posted my Wednesday Pregnancy report this week.

OOPS!

But then, Wednesday was a CRAZY day here at our house, so I have loads of excuses I won't bore you with right now. *wink*

THIS WEEK-
Baby's been moving a lot, and that's good, though I'm becoming more and more uncomfortable. Earlier this week, it felt like the baby moved down much lower, so no more crossing of the legs for the remaining weeks! My hips are loosening up, so sleeping/rolling over are becoming a bit more complicated. Typical last month stuff!

HEALTH GOALS-
My daily goals include the following:

• Drinking 8 full glasses of water (I'm not so good at this, yet...)
• Eat some dark green leafy veggies every day (I am finding that fresh spinach is my friend. I add it to smoothies, eat it as a salad, or include it in omelets. Yum!)
• Pregnancy Tea (I make sure I drink at least one mug full a day. I use the "Traditional Medicinal" blend and really like the flavor. This is one goal that's pretty easy!)
• Eat at least 2 Eggs each day (This is another easy goal. There's nothing better than a two egg omelet cooked with onions sauteed in real butter, with cheese and fresh spinach added.)
• More fresh fruit and veggies (Lovely!)
• Exercise (Okay, so this one is still not easy for me. I won't be doing pilates or kickboxing any time soon, but I am trying to go walking in the neighborhood and doing more things outside like pulling weeds, etc.. Definitely room for improvement here!)

I did update my baby ticker here in the left-hand column, so it's now accurate. (See-- I can get some things done once in a while! ;-D)

But I still say that "due-dates" are a joke and I refuse to believe in them.

Bah-humbug!

Kid Pictures!

Our camera broke a while back, so we've been picture-less for the entire month of April. But I'm happy to report that we bought a cheap digital camera before Russell took off for Drupal-Con in San Francisco. (He couldn't go there for the first time without a camera!)

So, this post is especially for the grandmas and grandpas and other family members out there who are wondering if our children are still growing and healthy. ;-)

Here's Russell with Alcatraz behind him.
(I know he's not a kid, but I think he's pretty dang cute anyway!)

I really don't know where they get it from!
(Oh, wait. Yes, I do.)




Avalon, with her big brother/favorite transportation, Lliam.
(She bosses him around night and day, and the funny thing is, he does whatever she tells him to! *hee!*)



This little girl charms her way into-- and out of-- anything and everything.




Where Brennan studies. (He's working on his Constitution class work in this picture.)



Morganne hates to be interrupted when she's studying cookbooks.



Gavin is immersing himself in our Beatrix Potter collection.

I'll post more pictures of the "middle kids"-- the ones who have a hard time holding still for pictures-- in the next few days. (Oh, ki-ids!!!)
