30 Weeks

We went last week to check on our sweet baby girl!  We had an ultrasound and everything still looks great.   She is 3 lbs, 6 oz, in the 45% for weight.   We did find out that she is breech, but Dr. Alverson assured us that there was plenty of time to turn!   Of course I immediately went to yoga and did upside down flips in the pool!  Ha!  We go back next week!

Baby Girl

We had an appointment last week to check on our sweet baby girl!  She is moving all over the place and I LOVE it!  Everything went fine at my appointment.  Her heart rate was 156 bpm.  I am scheduled to have an ultrasound in next week.  We are already going every 2 weeks now.  It won't be long before we meet this sweet baby girl!  We are close to picking a name, still not ready to say for sure!  You are already so loved baby girl!!

Benton is 20 Months

Our sweet baby is 20 months!  Time slow down!  Benton's personality is coming out more each day.  He has such a sweet heart, he is easy going, quick to give a hug, and just a pure joy to our family.  Unless he is tired or hungry, he rarely cries.  Some updates on our love bug...

Eating:  Baby boy still loves to eat.  There isn't much that he doesn't like besides cheese.  He still loves tomatoes, applesauce, yogurt, strawberries, pickles, pancakes, and any type of meat.  

Sleeping:  We put him in the bed awake and he goes to sleep no problem, for nap and bedtime.  He, in no form, sleeps through the night.  He literally cries all night.  We do not go get him unless the crying goes on for hours.  It is absolutely ridiculous, hopefully he'll grow out of it????  

Talking:  Benton is literally talking more by the day.  We love hearing what he has to say!

Tricks:  Ya know, jumping off of anything, giving me a heart attack.  If this sweet baby has teeth by the time he is 3, it'll be a miracle.  Matter-of-fact, he has already chipped his front tooth.  

Teeth:  No new teeth, but I think he is cutting his 2 year molars. 

VBS 2015

This year was Haisley's first experience with VBS and she LOVED it!!  She is still enjoying listening to the VBS CD and doing all the motions.  This year, the kids brought in money and toys to donate to a special needs orphanage in Haiti.  Aunt Ashley had the brilliant idea to have a lemonade stand and donate the money to the children in Haiti.  The kids raised over $100 to donate and had a BLAST!!

Baby Burnette #3

We went last week top check on sweet baby girl and I had my glucose test.   We are so blessed and grateful that we had a good appointment.   I passed my glucose test, and she seemed to be doing perfectly.   Her heartbeat was 150 bpm, and I was measuring perfectly at 26 weeks.   I am feeling this sweet girl moving all the time.  I LOVE feeling her, I feel her much more than I did with her brother and sister.   It is do reassuring!   We go back in a couple of weeks and we'll have an ultrasound to check on her size.   I literally cannot believe that this set baby will be here in 13 weeks.  Knowing that this will probably be my last pregnancy, I am trying to enjoy every second of it!

Haisley's 1st Day of Gymnastics

Haisley had her first day of gymnastics today and loved it.   She was looking forward to it all day and apparently it did not disappoint.  She especially loves that Harper is in her class!

Benton Boy is 19 Months

Time is just ticking right along, and my precious baby is turning into a little boy right before my eyes.  He acts so grown in so many ways.  He has such a sweet heart and doesn't seem as stubborn as others in the family....

Some updates on my love baby!

Teeth:  We are finally through the eye teeth, and they were a rough!  I think he has transitioned into getting his 2 year molars now, although none have broken through the gums yet.    He has 16 teeth total, from what I can tell!  I will also say that I will be shocked if he doesn't break any of his teeth out!  He is very adventurous and falls constantly.  He has already chipped his front right tooth.

Talking:  I would say that he has been talking a good bit more in the last 2 weeks.  He seems to be streaming a few words together and can really communicate what he wants a little better than a month ago.  He definitely understands what "Do you want to sit in timeout?" means.  He will promptly shake his head "No" and stop doing whatever he was doing.  A few other things that he has been saying, "That's my mommy, that's my daddy, that's mine, ball, bubbles, truck."  I'm sure that there are others, but this tired mommy can't think at the moment.

Sleeping:  Speaking of being tired, now is a good time to mention that Benton is NOT a great sleeper.  He is excellent in that we are able to put him to sleep awake and he will go to sleep on his own with no problem.  He always, with few exceptions, wakes up EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.  We rarely go get him, unless the crying is for hours, but we still hear him.  We put him to bed around 7:15 and he wakes up by around 5am the next day.  It is exhausting!  He also naps about 1.5 hours everyday.

Eating:  Benton continues to be an excellent eater.  He eats 3 meals and day and multiple snacks.  He will eat just about anything.  He loves cucumbers, chicken, tomatoes, basically anything.  He doesn't love cheese, which is crazy to me!

Size:  Our sweet boy is growing like crazy.  I think that he weighs about 27 pounds, and is decently tall.  He wears a 2T, size 5 diaper.

We love you more than you could ever imagine sweet love baby!  Your sweet smile and kisses make your mommy's days so happy.  We are blessed beyond measure that God gave your sweet self to us to love and take care of.  Mommy and Daddy pray for you daily!
