Welcome Spring Break!

JC's Spring Break officially began last night. We have 9 full days together before he gets back to the grind stone. But after that, he only has 9 more weeks of teaching, 1 week of cleaning up and finishing paperwork and then he'll be home for 2 months! Often the teaching job gets frustrated (not to mention the lack of pay) BUT the time we get to spend together sure is nice!

This past week, the boys and I took a quick trip to Lawton. Here's a picture of PawPaw and Cameron playing Cameron's "Game Boy".


I tell you what, this boy LOVES to dress up! He's always finding something to put on. This Batman shirt was found awhile ago but the mask just showed up in a friends bag of clothes she was giving away. Cameron has worn it almost nonstop for 3 days!



This morning, JC & I had almost 2 hours of quiet before Cameron woke up. Sitting in my favorite chair, I noticed the boys boots just sitting by the couch. It was very precious to my heart!


This week, I made my first splurge purchase for Caitlin. I wanted a pretty, girly hat for her when she's born. I wanted it for her newborn pictures, and I wanted it because my children are born without hair! So after searching high and low, I found this one on Etsy. And just to clarify, it was only $13.50 with shipping - BUT for me, spending that much on a non-essential item is a splurge. It arrived today and it's so pretty!!! I can't wait to see my precious baby in it!

And just for kicks, I thought I would give you my perspective. I feel much smaller looking at this angle than seeing my profile in a photo!

As of my doctor's appointment this week, I've only gained 11 pounds in 27 weeks. That's a LOT less than my previous pregnancies! My iron is low but I do not have gestational diabetes like the other 2 pregnancies.
