My Sweet 6 year old

My sweet 6 year old,

Where has the time gone. I swear it was just yesterday, i was holding you in your tiny blue blanket watching you sleep in my arms.

I remember the day you were born. I re-live it each year that passes. I was a young 16 year old not knowing what i was doing or how i was going to do it. I remember being in so much pain hoping for you to come. 28 hours of labor and 45 minutes of pushing you finally were laid into my arms at 4:45pm. Not making a lot of noise you were just as calm as you could be. You weighed 7 pounds 12 oz and was 21.5 inches long. My perfect sweet little pride and joy.

I know right then and there my life was different, it was going to be you and I forever. I was excited to see what the year to come had for us. I was ready to take on this new life as long as i had you with me.

In the year to come it has shown me how much i really needed you in my life. You have been life greatest blessing and the reason i live each and every day.

I know have a WILD, crazy, happy, loving, caring boy in my life. You bring so much joy to me.

I love how much you love football, and how much you love just hanging out with mom. I know that one day you wont wanna hang out with me so i'm making sure that i take these day and keep them with me forever.

You started school this year. Your my little kindergartner and your one smart cookie! Each day you come home with something new and exciting. You have done amazing this year in school and i cant wait to see what school holds for you.

You have a passion for football, and baseball. Everyday you are playing football, or talking about it. I think its a good sign that you will be our football player of the family. You get so excited to watch football with your dad.

You love playing with your dogs. I swear you love them more then you love me sometimes. Before you leave each day for school, you make sure that you give them a kiss and tell them goodbye.

You are also really excited to become a BIG Brother.

I know you are going to be an amazing big brother. Just today you were telling me how you were going to teach your little brother to play football, and how you wanted to get bunk beds so you can stay up all night with your brother.

I know that the two of you will be the best of friends. I know you will.

Connor you have the biggest heart, you love everyone and everything you touch. You would rather give the coat off your back then to keep yourself warm. You make everyone smile by you smiling or by your adorable laugh. Your eyes just melt everyone into pieces. Im so lucky to have such an handsome little man to call my son.

You dont know how proud i am of you. You have taught me so much in the short 6 years we have had together. I dont know who i would be or where i would be without you with me. You have made me a much better person. You will always be the one i look up to. You make everything in this life 100% better and always worth it. I love you more then you can every think of, you make me, ME.

Happy Birthday my sweet big guy!! I hope your day is just as amazing as you are...

Love, Mommy

Santa Work Shop

Over the weekend we were able to go down to the Club House and be involved in the Santa Work Shop.

Connor was really excited and kept telling us this is what his elf does when he leaves our house. 

When we first got there, we had to get a passport and make sure to get a stamp each time we went to a new place. 

They had games for the kids, treats, a work shop and of course Santa..

I was really happy Logan went with us cause i know for a fact i wouldn't of been able to build the tool box they gave us. 

Connor thought it was neat cause it was his daddy and his project they did together. For some reason Connor just adores his dad.

After they built the tool box we headed to the line to go and see Santa. The line was pretty long, but the kids were so excited to tell Santa what they wanted. 

Of course Logan has filled Connor head with what LOGAN wants. So Connor asked Santa for a Play Station 4 and Sky lander giants video game. 

I love this time of the year. Even if this year it was been pretty calm i still love having feeling of jolly. :)

25 Weeks

What's up with Baby this week? 
25 Weeks.

WE ARE FINALLY INTO THE DOUBLE DIGITS!! YAHOO

Our little man is weighing in at 1.5 POUND finally.
and about 13.5 inches long.

Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much birth-ready and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and a ton of nervous system development.

The good news is: if your child were to be born premature, they’d likely survive without much trauma as their lungs started producing “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day. Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back.

 All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery.

 In mobile-fetus news: your baby should be scootching slowly out of the breech position (head upright, with their butt-n-legs down by your pelvis) and start rotating around for a head-first exit through the birth canal.

 If all goes well, and your little womb hi-jacker isn't a contrary one, they'll be locked-n-loaded in the next few weeks! Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask) — just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human... with one tiny brand-spankin' new family member!

Symptoms? Stretching.. BACK PAIN.. its the worst i tell you. I think he is mostly in my back but when you look at me he is all upfront. Who know what this little man is doing to me!
Heart Burn is getting worst. YUCKY

Gender? Handsome little boy!

When you first look at this picture i would guess its his nose. 
Well its not, Its my little guys lips. YES he is going to have big lips like his daddy. :) 

Excited For? December 17th Connor Mike 6th Birthday! Cant believe i have a 6 year old.
I go in this coming week for my Glucose test. Hopefully the drink isn't as bad as everyone is saying.

I'm also way excited for Christmas and the New year! Its going to be a great year!
Christmas Eve we are having our first get together at our house! Im really excited to have both sides of the family over.

Maternity Clothes? OH YES. I think i would die without these.

Sleep? Its been just OKAY.. I have noticed that my hips really start hurting so im having to move a lot at night. Im also having to pee more. So im up at least twice during the night.

Movement? I have really noticed a change in his movement this week.. He moves a lot during the morning and then is really calm in the afternoon. BUT as soon as Logan comes home and we start talking, our little man starts moving. I think he is finally realizes his Daddys voice.
Over the weekend baby G was really pushing out on my right side. So Logan tried to push him back and right when Logan did that i got the biggest kick in my ribs. I think our little guy was getting mad at his daddy for tying to push him back. Logan has also laid on my belly and he will start kicking his head. Its really cute to see how Logan is with my belly.

Belly Button Status? Half way in and half way out. Some days it wants to be a outie and other days it will stay in.

Missing Anything? Seeing my feet. :)
Getting up with no help
Not losing my breath

Milestones? 

Making it to 25 weeks.
15 Weeks to go. OR LESS. 

Cravings? Toast and Lucky Charms. :)

Weight Gain? 13 Pounds
