You&Me + Three!: August 2015

37 weeks!

How far along: 37 weeks!

Sleep: This is tricky. Baby is on my right so I feel like I have to sleep on my left. It's awkward. And I'm up 863 times every night for the most random reasons.

Best moment this week: We had a really great appointment that made me love my doctor even more. He's made it so clear that I'm in charge and my birth plan is important. We have an appointment in just a few days to see the baby and get into detail about my birth plan.

Miss anything: I miss sleep. Not that I got much before anyways but now that my older two are sleeping in their own beds all night I feel silly waking up 500 times.

Movement: so much movement! Little karate kid!

Food cravings: Icee's, chewy ice & ice cream.

Labor signs: not yet!

Wedding ring on or off: off, but only because I'm paranoid I'll swell when I go into labor. My hands also swell while walking so I'm taking extra precaution.

Happy or moody: mostly happy but emotional.

Looking forward to: call me crazy but I can't wait to go into labor. Every second of pain will be worth that moment I get to see L for the first time!

Baby Shower!

august

This pregnancy is finally coming to an end, just a few more weeks until we meet our newest blessing. My amazing Mom & sweet Mother In Law threw me a gorgeous baby shower at my church this past weekend. It was beautiful. Very Rustic & Sweet. {things I love} With a sweet Pink&Blue Theme.

We were blessed with so many family and friends coming to celebrate with Karleigh & I. I've made some truly wonderful friends.. Most of which have kids Karleigh & Emmett's age so Karleigh had a little party of her own during the shower. The Kiddos colored pictures of baby princesses and precious moments while the adults played hilarious games like pass the prize left/right and guess that candy/pregnancy terms.

The food was delicious. Simple but Good! My mom makes the best Chicken Alfredo.. pair that with fruit, veggies, pretzel sticks, and some simple appetizers. I actually just had the last of the left over Alfredo for lunch today. {can't let that deliciousness go to waste!}

We received so many gorgeous and generous gifts for baby.. one of my favorites was a Moses Basket! We were lucky enough to finish of my list of things for baby. (except newborn socks which I guess are a hot commodity because I can't find them ANYWHERE!)

I am in awe of our family and friends for their kind words and sweet gifts. Blessed is an understatement.

I'm Back... with BIG news!

#august

After several months away from Blogging, It's time to start again! A lot has happened since my last post in November of LAST YEAR!

um, It's 2015, y'all!
Karleigh turned THREE!
Emmett turned TWO!
We finished our first year at Crosspoint Academy!
We've settled into our house and made it a home!
Justin turned 27!
and last... but certainly not least We're expecting our THIRD child!

We're over joyed with this news! I'm currently 35+ weeks and feeling great! (A little tired but I've got a 3 & 2 year old keeping me busy so that's to be expected!) Karleigh prayed for a baby sister every night when we would say her prayers before we conceived this little joy. That sparked more of the conversation between Justin & I about now being the best time to add. After a lot of talk and even more prayer we decided to put it in God's hands. Two months later we got a positive pregnancy test! We decided not to announce the gender to anyone until birth. It's a big surprise! Karleigh is very much hoping she's going to have a little sister and I'm pretty sure her Nana & Gigi are too. Of course, the uncles and Pappy are Team Blue. Justin & I are TEAM HEALTHY!

It will be so fun to have a baby in our home once more. There's a lot of back & forth talk about IF this will be the last Reeder Baby so I plan on soaking in EVERY MOMENT at home with all three of my littles.
