Shopping Day!

Today, Sophie and I had our first mommy-Sophie-shopping day! It was so much fun :) Over the last month, Chris and I noticed that most of Sophie’s pj pants had become capris and some of her t-shirts turned into belly shirts… she’s literally growing before our eyes… my baby girl is growing much too fast! 

Armed with our clothing budget, we made our way to Target – I love that store – and were able to get so much! They’re having a good sale right now and we were able to get adorable shorts and cute tanks for dirt cheap. Oh and the shoes! They had some cute shoes on clearance which we took advantage of because my poor girl had only one pair of shoes left that fit her! 

Sophie did great and we both had so much fun; I loved thinking that this is the first of many of our shopping trips together as she grows up… I am so thankful to God for providing the funds for us to be able to do something as simple as purchase clothes when their needed. And also grateful to my husband for releasing me for the afternoon and watching our crazy son who thinks that he needs his tummy filled every waking moment :)

I’ll post pictures of my little cutie in her new stuff soon :)

Cupcakes for Daddy

Sophie has been such a blessing to us in the way she’s handled having a new little one in the house. She’s so gentle with him, loves to rub his head and helps me by bringing his passies, taking his diapers to the trash can, and picking up things that mommy drops :) As we’re adjusting to Thomas being here and are working to find our new routine, I’m asking God to help me be diligent with both Sophie and Thomas and want to make sure I’m spending enough time with both and not neglecting one or the other…. so I’ve been trying to come up with some fun “Mommy and Sophie” things to do! Our favorite so far, has been baking :) The other day, Sophie helped me make cupcakes for Daddy… it was her first time helping out in the kitchen and she loved it! The cupcakes turned out a little lumpy, but it was worth it :)

Ha ha ha!

So, apparently whoever said that bed rest is boring didn’t have a crazy 19-month old running around and they must not have had wonderful friends coming over to serve who bring their crazy kids to add to the chaos  and they must not have observed their sweet, wonderful, loving, adorable husband working his pa-tootie off as he is now father, mother, housekeeper, caretaker, cook, and breadwinner! Oh yes, and since the recent demolition  of our shower, I should also add that he is now Home Improver Extraordinaire! I tell you, there’s nothing that man can’t do :)

So yes, the last few days God has been so kind to make the somewhat mundane task of being a professional couch potato, rather hilarious! Sophie’s favorite new hobby is pulling wet toys out of the bathtub, rolling them all over the house and effectively soaking the floors. Today, poor Mandy has been run ragged by two crazy girls who decide to break down emotionally at the same time, one getting her leg stuck in the crib rails and the other running into doors and hallways. Then there was yesterday that had Chris running like a crazy man filling prescriptions, taking me to the doctor, grabbing some groceries, mowing the lawn, preparing for HG worship, making dinner and then trying to get Sophie to eat it as she threw french fries off her tray with wild abandon! Thank you, Lord, for laughter :)

In other news, we had pretty good report at the Doctor’s. My rapid progression and dilation over the last few weeks seems to have slowed down a bit, which is an answer to prayer! We now have some meds for contractions and don’t have to haul ourselves to Winnie Palmer twice a week for monitoring anymore which we’re SO thankful to God for… that was getting pretty tedious. And I’m now 32 weeks and 4 days (but who’s counting right?)! God willing, we’ll have another 3 weeks and 3 days of laying low, then I’ll be taken off of bed rest and Thomas can come anytime!

Here are a few pictures from our crazy week :)
