4th of July


This year the 4th was a quiet event for us. We had BBQ with the neighbors and Gabby had a blast with playing with all of the children. They played all day long! The weather looked like a bad storm was coming so we debated what we were going to do in the evening. Daddy, Gabby, Uncle Mark, and I ended up going to a church in Huffman too meet up with Aiden and Addison. Gabby lucked out and was the last child allowed to ride on the train and the last child to get cotton candy!!





The firework show was fabulous! Gabby seemed to enjoy them as much as I do. Once the fireworks were over we went and looked inside one of the fire engines and then headed home for bed. Sometimes the simplest of days are the best. I don't think we could have asked for a more fun day!

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.
