Week 36...romaine lettuce. 

Head down but cord still in entirely wrong place to deliver normally without cutting off my unborn child's blood/oxygen supply. So, no pressure on me or anything!! May I just say that I am so not wanting a 

C-section, but will do what I am told. But fingers crossed that this cord shifts in time...

So, we're just waiting for Violet, doing school, and hanging around. 

I am opposed to selfies, but is it a selfie when it is a belly shot??

 Please don't come until the snow and ice thaw!!

 AC/DC: "We've got the biggest balls of them all!"

 Lovie enjoying her ball pit from Santa!

 Mimi was both alarmed and pleased by Nana's Chinese New Year stamps!!

 What we do with Lego at recess!

 Thank you, Nana for Vinny's Adult Small Pooh shirt now equipped with a button the back and shortened sleeves!

Yes. "Unsalted Butt" by Mimi. 

Lovie's crib is the new hot spot for Timbit!

 And today around 10 a.m., it started to snow...

 On our way to "trayboggin" at the park! FUN!!!! This picture is now solid white--everything covered! It was 60 degrees yesterday!!

I call this one, "Oops..."

Week 35: Violet is now the size of a honeydew melon...up to five whole pounds!!

Unfortunately, she was head down and flipped back to breech, and now her cord is in the wrong place to delver "in the way I am accustomed to." Cord cannot come first. I'm sure it helps having the kids yell at my belly for her to turn around and "Move the ability cord!!"

Vinny told the doctor this week that it would be OK to eat the placenta. She actually put her arm around me, rested her head on my shoulder and pleaded with me to make him stop! LOVE my doctor and sure hope she is the one to deliver Baby! 

And we've gone from a pineapple to a cantaloupe--this will forever change the way I view fruit!

Reason #892 I love home schooling...George is home barfing (there is no other way to describe it--it is immense!), so we are having an "altered" school day. Mimi taught math to the younger two boys while I held the bowl for George. Now we are going to make play dough (in a new and clean bowl). We can still all read our new chapter book--even Sir Barf. And no MAKE UP work sent home!! The juggling act comes later today when I have to get Mimi to gymnastics and the boys to basketball with a sicko at home...all at the same time of course! But just watch me!!!

A word of explanation for all the videos...found a bunch of old movies and tried to send them to Nana. Since she "cannot work email"--this is the only way she can watch them!! FLASHBACK!!!

OMG. I have a pineapple inside me!! 4 pounds and counting!!!! Week 33...

Here is our December recap:

 Ahhh...our beloved Stuart returned. 

 Hanging with the bump!

Snuggles with Daddy...

 Stuart replaced stockings with undies...

 Made and decorated some yummy gingerbread people!

 Poor Lovie...slept all through her bath, which she normally LOVES!!!

 Stuart struck again...while we were out!

 Stuart unraveled Nana's crocheting...WOW--what a daring little elf!

 And he drew on all the kids while they were sleeping!

But George set a trap for him and caught him!
This elf stuff never gets old!

 Natan turned 8!! Angry Bird Star Wars celebration!

And an interesting gift from Aunt Sa and Uncle Dwayne!

 Of course, Stuart destroyed the leftover cake...

 Decorating more cookies...for Stuart and Santa

 Really?? TP the tree again??!!

 Gingerbread House making with our besties, the Sims!

That's 9 kids, 9 and under!
Best damn group of kids hands down!!!!!

 The annual photo with Santa

 The Pink Pig...who will now be receiving a letter regarding the fact that they said to us, "She can't ride" referring to Lovie. Ummm...yes, she can. Funny that once we said they were breaking ADA law, they let her ride in an "unauthorized way." A-holes.

 Cookies for Santa

 Christmas Eve: well, Lovie's tube came out so we spent a quiet three hours at Egelston having it put back in. No electronics of any sort and no whining--we just hung out!
We came home a little before midnight and said our goodbyes to Stuart. Sad.

 Christmas morning...

 Dinner--prepared and cleaned up by best husband ever.

We spent Boxing Day at Callaway Gardens and finished off on the Jolly Trolley seeing the lights.
