It's been three months (well, three and a half by now) with our newest love! He has had quite the interesting start to his little life. Being the third child, I haven't been able to do monthly blog posts like I did for the other two (sorry kid) BUT I am hoping to do one every three months or so!<br />
<br />
So, let's start from the beginning!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Month 1:</u></b><br />

My grandpa Jack (who Griffin is named after) died very suddenly when Griffin was 2 days old. We traveled to Conway for the rest of that week to be with my family and Daniel had the opportunity to lead his funeral, which was really special. Even though it was a complete shock and the first week of his little life didn't pan out like we had expected, God was so gracious and merciful to our family during that time. The fact that Griff came on his own 8 days early was a miracle in and of itself! If that hadn't happened, I would not have been able to travel to Conway for the funeral and my grandpa would never have known he had a great-grandson named after him.<br />

The same day my grandpa passed away (December 30th), Holt asked Jesus to live in his heart and be the boss of his life. Made a sad day a day also full of joy and thankfulness!<br />
<br />
We came back home after the funeral and started adjusting to our new life as a family of five. We had newborn/family photos made by a local photographer. And he started exhibiting symptoms of having the dairy intolerance like the other two so I cut out dairy from my diet. And I started planning and gearing up for my Spring Rhea Lana Event.<br />

When Griffin was about 6 weeks old, Holt came down with the flu. He was sick for about 5 days and the whole time we just prayed over Griffin and that he wouldn't get it. We were finally getting over the sickness and then Daniel came down with it and then HE was sick for about 5 days. I think I ended up getting a super mild case of it, but nothing too serious. Griff and Evie stayed healthy the whole time PTL!<br />
<br />
About that time though, Griffin started showing signs of reflux. We started him on Zantac when he turned two months old and then he and I pretty much immediately left for my Rhea Lana event.<br />

The first week of RL, poor buddy cried CONSTANTLY. He just hurt all day everyday. I called my pediatrician's office at the end of the week to switch to a different med. We found a local pharmacy that made a compound for us and it worked so much better! The event was a great success and Griffin was much happier the second week.<br />

Griffin and I got home from Rhea Lana's on Saturday, March 14th and on Monday, the 16th, President Trump announced the national 14-day quarantine period because of Covid-19. I am so incredibly thankful I was able to have my event and make it back home before all the Corona-craziness started! We also had him evaluated for a lip tie and tongue tie at a pediatric dentist up in NWA. Turns out he had a Class 3 in both (Class 4 is the worst) so we had it revised. It definitely has helped!<br />

Griffin did amazing when we got home--he was taking (3) 2-hour naps every day and only waking 1-2 times a night. I think he missed being at home too! The second week we were home though, he started acting like his belly hurt again and he started exhibiting signs of dairy issues. But I was really watching what I was eating and knew I hadn't had any. I finally figured out his new reflux medicine had lactose in it (like WHY??!!)---ugh! So frustrating! I spent the next 3 days on the phone with my pediatrician's office and a local pharmacy to try to figure out another solution. We finally came up with a new plan and started it right when he turned 3 months old.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Favorite things: </u></b><br />
Griffin loves----*his daddy (he can be screaming with me all day and then as soon as daddy walks in the door he smiles and talks) *his brother and sister---he lights up when he hears Holt and Evie *to be held *"talking" to people *observing all the action and looking around---don't leave him laying on a blanket or on his mat very long or he starts to get upset!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Milestones:</u> </b>*he has always been able to hold his head up remarkably well--even since birth! *he can stand for a good amount of time *he can roll from his belly to his back *he can push up on his arms and look around *talks/coos and has become really interactive *his hair is starting to turn red! He may end up being strawberry-blonde or maybe auburn, but he definitely has quite a bit of red coming through. That would be really special if he ended up being a red-head because my Poppa Jack was a redhead too :)<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Sleep: </u>He has been a pretty good sleeper. In the beginning he seemed to have his days and nights mixed up so that was pretty exhausting for a few weeks. But he wakes up 1-2 times a night pretty consistently. He finally stretched to every 3 hours and then sometimes he made it 4-5 hours. It just kind of depends on the night. Naps are hit or miss. When he was tiny he took great naps, and then at RL he napped either on me or my mom. Once we got home from RL, the first week he napped awesome but since then he has started the 45-minute naps (no matter what time he goes down to sleep) and that is just HARD.<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Feeding: </u> So far, nursing with him has been the best out of all my kids. I have truly nursed on demand with him and I think it has made a big difference in my supply. Plus we caught his dairy issues and reflux issues earlier than with Evie which also helped. My initial goal is to make it to 6 months and if we make it that far, I'll re-evaluate!<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Schedule: </u>Unlike my other two, his schedule is quite a bit more relaxed. We try to stick to the "eat/play/sleep" routine during the day, and he usually eats pretty much every 3 hours. But I am nursing on demand this time so sometimes he eats every 1.5 hours, sometimes it's 2 hours, sometimes it's 3 hours. Plus with the two bigs, it's just more difficult to have a set schedule--although, the Coronavirus has made it a little easier since we aren't really in the car. *usually, our day goes somewhat like this (at 3 months):<br />
<br />
7:30/8am---wake up and eat<br />
playtime<br />
9/9:30am--nap (usually for 45 minutes)<br />
wake up and just be with people until hungry<br />
10/10:30--eat<br />
11:30ish--nap (usually 45 minutes)<br />
wake up and be with us<br />
1/1:30pm---eat<br />
3:00pm (ish)--nap (usually 45 minutes)<br />
wake up and be with us<br />
4:00pm--eat<br />
*usually awake from here on out, but sometimes a catnap around 5/5:30pm<br />
7:00pm--pajamas, sleep sack, bedtime diaper<br />
7:30pm--eat<br />
8:00pm--bedtime<br />
**sometimes he wakes up 45 minutes in and takes a while to be settled back down. Sometimes he sleeps from 8pm-1/2am before needing to eat.<br />
**usually eats 1-2 times in the middle of the night (getting close to the 4 month sleep regression, plus his reflux has been acting up again so he has been waking more)<br />
<br />
Our precious Griffin Jack,<br />
<br />
You are one loved little boy! Your brother and sister are absolutely OBSESSED with you---they love to talk to you and hug you and give you a paci when you're crying. They always want to know where you are and want to be with you! Even though you have had a rough time with reflux and tummy issues, you have still brought so much joy to our family. You are a bright light in the middle of this crazy time!haleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427653921065661043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559981220021435932.post-27200552058026205892020-02-11T16:40:00.003-06:002020-02-11T16:40:59.059-06:00Griffin's Birth Story<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

*warning: lengthy post ahead!<br />
<br />
On December 28, 2019, our third child, Griffin Jack Lowery, made his entrance into the world at 38 weeks 6 days. My initial goal when we found out we were pregnant and learned my due date was early January was just to make it through Christmas Day. And thankfully, he listened and cooperated!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The night of the 26th I did not sleep well at all. I just tossed and turned all night and could not get comfortable--which was not the norm. I had been sleeping great the entire pregnancy! Friday, December 27th, I just felt "off." I had lost my mucous plug on Christmas Day so I knew labor was more than likely coming within the next few days (Daniel was really hoping it happened before January 1st so we could get the tax credit lol). I had no appetite, I didn't feel super well and starting about 1pm I had some pelvic pressure. I took a hot shower to see if that would relieve it at all and it didn't. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A sweet friend of mine is a L&D nurse and I knew she was working (fun fact--I initially met her because she was my nurse with Holt) so I texted her my symptoms. I had never gone into labor on my own before! She advised me to come in and just get checked out. Of course, we had dinner plans with our BFF's, so I texted Kaley to let her know what was going on. We decided they would go ahead and come over to our house, the boys would stay with the big kids and she would go with me to the hospital and just see if anything was happening. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4pm--I get into a triage room. My contractions are irregular BUT I was 3cm and 70% effaced (at my appointment on Monday I was only a 1cm and 0% effaced). I drink some ice water and we decide to walk the hallways for an hour. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5:45pm--they check me again. Still a 3cm and 70% but baby has moved down and my contractions are in a consistent pattern of every 2-4 minutes. They decide to admit me, believing I am in early labor. I decide to walk some more. The doctor on call is Dr. Farrell--she was extremely nice and really cute! I am so thankful for God's provision in that a great doctor was on call and Audra was working! I call Daniel and let him know what's going on--he finishes packing stuff for the hospital and gathering things together. I also call my parents (the 27th is their anniversary) and Daniel calls his parents, so they decide to get their stuff together and head to Fort Smith. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7:45pm--Daniel arrives at the hospital. Kaley went back to my house to wait with my kids until my in-laws could get there. I get checked again. I am almost a 4. Baby is more engaged in the pelvis. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10:00pm--my parents arrived about 9pm. My Uncle Jim and Aunt Linda (the photographer) and my grandmother made it about 9:45pm or so. I have been bouncing on the ball and my contractions have still steadily been coming every 2-4 minutes. So far I have been handling the contractions really well and haven't had to request an epidural yet. I get checked again and I'm 5cm and 75% effaced. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Starting about 11pm, my contractions started spacing out and calmed down for a while--maybe a contraction every 15 minutes or so. We finally decided to try and get some sleep and I slept from 3:30-5:30am. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6:00am--check me again and I'm still 5 cm. They decide to break my water and get me on pitocin to get things moving again. I request an epidural because I know what pitocin contractions feel like an I don't want to miss my window.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6:40am--get my epidural</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7:00am---Audra is back for the day shift so I get to have her as my nurse!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9:00am---I'm a 7-8cm. Things are moving!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9:30am--8-9cm. Audra has another lady in labor needing to push so she turns down the pitocin in hopes of me stalling a bit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10:50am---I am feeling pressure and like i need to push. I call Audra and tell her to hurry!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10:55am--Audra rushes in and calls the new on call doctor--Dr. Hill. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10:59am--I start pushing. Dr. Hill asks Daniel if he wants to announce the gender.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
11:05am--its a BOY! Griffin Jack Lowery is born---he has some good lungs and is absolutely perfect!<br />
<br />

We did not find out with this pregnancy whether we were expecting a boy or girl--our first surprise! And it was one of the NEATEST moments of my life! Daniel got to call out whether it was a boy or girl and it was just like nothing I had ever experienced. If we decide to have a 4th baby, we will probably keep it a surprise again! It's always emotional when your baby is born, but this one was a little more so due to the fact he was our rainbow baby. It was a really precious moment!<br />

Griffin was born at 11:05am and our big kids came up to meet him about 2:00pm that afternoon. It was a precious time! They were pretty smitten with him from the beginning and were sad to leave the hospital without him, but we assured them we would be home the next day.<br />

<br />
In true 3rd kid fashion, we didn't even decide on names until I was about 37 weeks pregnant. I think it was driving everyone else nuts more than us! We finally sat down and hashed it out one weekend in December--my parents had taken the bigs to Branson for the weekend with the rest of my family and we had an entire kid-free weekend---it was amazing!<br />
<br />
Our boy name was pretty easy to agree on. Griffin had been on my list since college. It's just a name I came across and liked--it was different, not heard of often, very masculine sounding, and I loved the meaning--"fierce warrior." We also love to incorporate family names when naming our babies. Jack was my grandpa's name and means "God is gracious." I have always been very close with my grandparents and when Daniel joined the family, they treated him as if he was another grandson. So it was especially meaningful to both of us to use it. Boy name...done!<br />
<br />
The girl name was much harder. We had a list of girl names but Daniel didn't really like any of them. So back to the drawing board we went! We finally found one we both liked and could imagine using if this baby ended up being a girl--Annelise. Annelise means "God pledged His grace" which we thought was especially fitting since this was our rainbow baby. It also incorporates family names--my paternal grandmother's name is Joanne, so we liked that it incorporated "Anne" from her, and Elise is a family name on Daniel's side. We both had already agreed on a middle name--Rose--after my maternal grandmother who's middle name is also Rose. So if Griffin had been a girl, his name would have been Annelise Rose. Maybe if we go for a 4th and it ends up a girl, we will use it then!<br />
<br />
We got home from the hospital about 1:30pm on Sunday afternoon and my mom and grandmother stayed with us the first night to help with the big kids. They had decided that Monday morning they would take Holt and Evie back to Conway for the week to give us a chance to recover and just enjoy one-on-one time with Griffin. They left about 11:30am and at 12:15pm, my mom called in a panic. She told me that my grandpa Jack had died very suddenly that morning. I stood frozen for a moment before going into crisis mode and making a plan. The plan was they would pull off at Ozark, eat lunch, and Daniel would head that way to get Holt and Evie and bring them back home. Griffin had his first doctor appointment the next day, but as soon as that was over we would head to Conway to be with the family.<br />
<br />
While we were shocked and obviously saddened about his sudden passing, God's fingerprints were all over the situation:<br />
<br />
1) Griffin came on his own 8 days before his due date. In all reality, this shouldn't have happened. I don't have my babies early. If I had still been pregnant when he died, I would not have been able to travel for the funeral. Plus, since Griffin did come early, my grandpa knew he had a great grandson named after him before he died which I am so thankful for!<br />
<br />
2) It allowed us to have some of the tough conversations about death and what happens after we die with our children. We believe the Bible is absolute truth and we believe God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to earth, where he died for our sins on the cross and was raised to life 3 days later, conquering death and allowing us the opportunity to live in heaven with him for all eternity. We also believe that you will not go to heaven after you die unless you believe in Him--John tells us in his gospel that Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." We were able to tell our children that even though we were burying Poppa Jack's physical body, he wasn't there anymore. Instead, we know he is with Jesus in Heaven, because Jesus lived in his heart and he lived his life for Him. On the night of December 30th (the day Poppa Jack died), Holt decided he wanted to ask Jesus to live in his heart and be the boss of his life! We rejoiced in this news and I know my grandpa would have been so happy to know Holt made such a wonderful decision!<br />
<br />
3) My grandpa had been battling the beginning of Alzheimer's for the last couple of years. Even though we miss him terribly, the Lord was so gracious in that my grandpa never had to suffer in the later stages of Alzheimer's and he was in great physical health, up until the moment he died.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, the first week of Griffin's life was very eventful. We are so thankful to have a healthy, happy baby boy join our family and can't wait to watch him grow!<br />

I promise we are alive! It has been a crazy two months since I updated last. Sorry sweet baby #3!<br />
<br />
Since my last update:<br />
<br />
* we survived another Rhea Lana season! The Lord continues to sustain and provide and we keep marching forward trying to build this business. This was my smoothest and best event to date--all the praise hands! They told me when we initially bought the franchise that it would take (at minimum) 2 years before you feel like you start to turn the corner and they were exactly right. We were THRILLED to have met that first milestone in working/owning a small business! It takes 3-5 years (with any small business) before you start becoming "successful" and we feel like we are on track with that timeline. We continue to be thankful for this company, the women I get to work with, and the opportunity to minister and serve other mamas as we are all on this journey called motherhood. We are also thankful for our INCREDIBLE support system that help make my events possible--my in-laws (and usually several friends and our church family) lovingly and graciously help my husband hold down the fort at home and take care of the kids while my parents drive all the way over and help me run the event (my Mom usually stays with me the entire 2 weeks). We know there is no way we could make this work without their help! We are excited for what's to come with the future of this business!<br />
<br />
* when I got back home from Rhea Lana, Holt went on his first field trip! They went on Thursday so Daniel and I both got to go and experience the Wild Things Farm pumpkin patch with him and it was a blast!<br />

*the kids and I took one last trip to Conway before baby comes. During my RL event, my sweet, precious Leadership Team surprised me with a baby shower and my mom gave me a prenatal massage as a gift--the trick being I had to go to Conway. Hallelujah! We drove down, I had my massage and we got to spend some quality time with my grandparents too before driving back home. From this point on, I'll be staying pretty close to home so I'm thankful we had the opportunity to go!<br />
<br />
*Holt finished his soccer season playing with the green team<br />

* this past weekend (as in yesterday), my parents took Holt and Evie to the Razorback game in Fayetteville and Daniel and I spent the day painting the nursery. The room has basically been white since we moved into this house 2.5 years ago and that was my one big project I wanted to complete before baby comes. We chose Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams as the paint color and I LOVE it! It's more of a light blue color with some green and gray undertones, depending on the light in the room. Perfect gender neutral color! All that's left is re-painting the trim and then decorating and getting it ready for sweet baby #3---we better hurry since we basically have about 2 months before he or she gets here!<br />

Starting this week, I have doctor's appointments every 2 weeks which is exciting! We are in the home stretch and when I think about all the fun things we have going on over the next two months I know it's going to go so fast! I plan to decorate for Christmas soon so I don't have to stress over it and we can just enjoy the Holidays. My last appointment a couple of weeks ago I had another ultrasound to check on a couple things they couldn't see well at our anatomy scan. Everything checked out great!<br />

This baby is seemingly much more chill and doesn't seem to move as often as my others. I'm hoping that means he or she will be really laid back and "go-with-the-flow"! Holt moved CONSTANTLY and still does outside the womb; Evie had specific patterns where she would be active for a bit and then slow down which is the same for her too. This one, I sometimes have to go lay down and count kicks just to be sure everything is ok. Although, usually at night it seems to wake up every so often and ROLL everywhere, which kind of tickles (I have an anterior placenta this time so I have quite a bit of cushion). We are so excited and getting anxious to meet this little one--and find out whether we are adding a sweet boy or girl to our family!<br />
<br />
<b>How far along: </b>31 weeks<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Still sleeping relatively well. I wake up every so often and have to switch to my other side but all in all I can't complain<br />
<b>Aches/Pains: </b>My lower back--particularly my right SI joint--has been giving me issues the last several weeks. I am seeing a chiropractor this pregnancy which has helped tremendously and my husband has been helping massage it. I'm also trying to stretch more but goodness!<br />
<b>Food aversions: </b>none really but more often than not, food just doesn't sound good and I have to make myself eat<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>Would you believe I'm drinking coffee?? CRAZY. I don't know if it's the cold weather or what, but I'm WANTING coffee. So strange because I didn't want it at all with my other two. I also go back and forth between craving salty foods and sweet foods--anything from sandwiches and mac-n-cheese to brownies and donuts. Not helping me figure out whether this baby is a boy or girl!<br />
<b>Gender prediction: </b>I can honestly say I don't have a clue--100%. I'll admit, I was a bit prideful before getting pregnant. I mean, I've already had one boy and one girl and those pregnancies were vastly different so I just KNEW I would know, even though we weren't officially finding out the gender. But this baby has kept me on my toes! I have had things happen from BOTH my other pregnancies so it is totally throwing me off--which I secretly love because I truly love surprises and I think this will be one of the best ones I ever have! Not much longer and we will find out!haleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08427653921065661043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559981220021435932.post-36810167732216348102019-09-08T16:34:00.000-05:002019-09-08T16:34:01.907-05:00Baby Lowery #3: 23 Weeks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Quite a bit has happened since I last updated about a month ago.<br />
<br />
The kids and I stayed with my parents the first week of August while Daniel was on a mission trip to Alaska. We celebrated Holt's 5th birthday with family and my parents took him on a surprise birthday trip to the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. They had a blast!<br />
<br />
We all made it back home and had our 20 week ultrasound and doctor's appointment. We took the kids so they could see their new brother or sister. Everything checked out really good which we are so thankful for and no, we didn't even peek at the gender!<br />
<br />
The next week, our A/C unit started having issues---with it being 115 degrees outside. One night we had a guy here fixing it until 10:30pm and then three days later it completely died. Absolutely no reviving it. I will say, it was 21 years old so we knew when we bought this house that we would be buying a new A/C unit at some point. Ugh. Adulting. We ended up staying with our best friends for four days (bless their sweet souls) while we tried to figure out which company and unit we should go with (way more complicated than we thought it would be by the way). We finally got our new unit installed and we were so thankful for cool air!<br />
<br />
In the middle of the A/C saga, Holt started Pre-K at his new school, Grace Academy! Grace Academy operates as a classroom setting to help and come alongside homeschool families. They have classes Pre-K 3 all the way up to seniors in high school. They run a schedule of hosting school classes at Grace Academy on Tuesday and Thursday and then you homeschool the other days of the week. We are still undecided where we will put Holt for Kindergarten next year, but so far we have loved Grace Academy and his new teacher, Mrs. Chronister.<br />
<br />
And now, Rhea Lana season is officially here and our life will be a little crazy for the next month or so. This will be my 4th event (crazy) and I am really excited about this one! We have had some changes happen since the Spring Event (due to the federal DC Circuit Court ruling back in June) which is adding a little more to my plate, but I think overall it's going to go really well!<br />
<br />
<b>How far along: </b>23 weeks<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>I am still sleeping really well at night. Only having to get up for the bathroom occasionally and trying to soak that up since I know it's bound to change in the future.<br />
<b>food aversions: </b>Not near as many! I'll actually drink a tiny bit of coffee now and food is actually starting to sound good<br />
<b>food cravings: </b>Nothing super specific yet. At this point I'm just thankful that I'm actually getting hungry and food is starting to sound good. I usually have PB & banana toast or a protein bar for breakfast, usually a toasted ham & cheese sandwich (with extra pickles) for lunch and I'm doing better with cooking dinner again. I"m also loving dessert (and poptarts for a snack in the afternoon). I still just prefer to eat out at a restaurant, butttt since we just bought a new A/C unit, we are having to be pretty strict with the budget.<br />
<b>gender prediction: </b>The last month or so I have really been thinking girl. But now I might be changing my mind again and thinking boy. haha! It's kind of comical because we truly have no idea. And when people ask us what we are having, we tell them we are going to be surprised, and the reactions are pretty funny!<br />

<br />
Here we are at 18 weeks! Crazy to think we are almost halfway! Quite a bit has happened since our last update:<br />
<br />
When I was 14.5 weeks I went to see my friend, Amy, who is an ultrasound tech. I hadn't had an ultrasound in about 6 weeks and I was dying to see my little one before our beach trip. ((P.S. it's SUPER FUN to have a friend who does ultrasounds)) I was in baby heaven for 20 minutes that day! We saw the baby move EVERYWHERE (and I was already feeling it), we saw the baby yawn, fold it's hands and cross it's legs. She measured everything and it all added up to our exact due date (way to go baby!) which is great news. We listened to the heartbeat and overall it was just the best 20 minutes of my day.<br />
<br />
A couple of days later, our family loaded up and made the trek down to Florida for our annual beach vacation. My mom and dad take us and my sister and brother-in-law every summer and we all look forward to it! This year was by far our best trip yet. Holt and Evie LOVED it. We had to drag them off the beach to go eat lunch, they took awesome naps, stayed out late for dinner and had great attitudes (for the most part) the whole week. It was a lot of fun! Plus we celebrated 15 weeks with our sweet babe while we were there. As always, the week went way too fast and Holt asked on the way home if we could turn around and go back---I wish baby!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As soon as we got back, we had VBS at our church. A fun week for sure, but goodness we were all VBS tired (and I was also pregnant tired)! We are so thankful for our church and how well they love and serve our kiddos!<br />
<br />
I also had a doctor appointment and it went wonderfully. Baby's heartbeat was 130 and everything measured right where it should. We scheduled the anatomy scan for our next appointment on August 21st and plan to take the kids with us then so they can see the baby---and yes, we will hold strong and NOT FIND OUT the gender, even during the ultrasound!<br />
<br />
My 30th birthday was last Saturday, August 3rd, and my sweet husband planned a surprise party full of all the people I love. It was wonderful and a great way to enter a new decade!<br />

<br />
<br />
Daniel left with a group from our church for a mission trip to Alaska on Monday, so the kids and I drove down to Conway to spend time with family, have one last summer trip before school and routines start back and we celebrated Holt's 5th birthday!<br />
<br />
And here we are, 18 weeks along with this sweet babe in my belly and now we are gearing up for back to school and Rhea Lana's!<br />
<br />
I was still nauseous for a lot of the day, which got really frustrating. The week we were at the beach I felt GREAT (so I guess I just need to be there 24/7) but since we have been back it has been a little rough. Food just doesn't sound good to me and I was having to force myself to eat. Blah. Maybe it's because this is my 3rd baby so I'm just naturally more tired than I was before? I don't know. But I'm just thankful to be feeling better in this 18th week and for a healthy baby so far!<br />

<b>how far along: </b>18 weeks 4 days<br />
<b>maternity clothes: </b>absolutely! I have to say, it's nice to actually look pregnant earlier this time around!<br />
<b>sleep: </b>going pretty well. some nights I sleep really hard and others I toss and turn all night. but i really can't complain!<br />
<b>food aversions: </b>yes. no coffee. still kind of iffy on meat.<br />
<b>food cravings: </b>well since most food in general just doesn't sound good, not really. But I prefer foods that aren't super heavy. last week we had greek chicken, lots of cucumbers and tomatoes, and I made a green goddess gazpacho soup which was delicious. I will still eat a cheeseburger, but even that isn't really doing much for me. I did have a DP every night of VBS to help me though!<br />
<b>started showing:</b> I really am excited to be showing so early this time and actually looking pregnant instead of just looking like I ate too much!<br />
<b>gender prediction: </b>lately I've been thinking more girl--especially since I'm still nauseous and not feeling super good. but honestly, I've had symptoms from both my other pregnancies so it's making it really hard to pinpoint one way or the other!

<br />
Welcome to the second trimester! Yay!<br />
<br />
Last week I started feeling a little better, but this week I'm feeling bad again. although, I'm trying to get off Diclegis now so I think that may have something to do with it. with my other two, I think it was week 14 before I could really tell a big difference. we will see! fingers crossed because we have plans with family this weekend and I would really like to feel better.<br />
<br />
I went to see my doctor last Thursday (6/27) and I am praising God for a good report. I heard the heartbeat this time, although it took him probably a full 60 seconds before he found it. I was starting to get anxious, trying to breathe as he kept searching for it. FINALLY after what seemed like forever, we heard that sweet little sound. he told me he thinks baby is moving all over the place so that's why it took a minute to find it. another huge praise! I go back the week after we get back from the beach in July. my doctor is now the chief of staff at Mercy(he got promoted in the last year or two), so I really wasn't sure if he would keep me as a pregnancy patient or if he would pass me off to another OB in his practice (this was what we had discussed before my miscarriage). So far, he hasn't given any indication of passing me off and I'm continuing to pray for that. Not that I don't trust the other doctors in the practice, but Dr. Riche has been through two full-term pregnancies with me (and delivered both) plus my miscarriage and I just trust him wholeheartedly with this pregnancy even though I still get anxious.<br />
<br />
Would you continue to pray with us for a healthy baby, healthy pregnancy, and healthy mama? On top of being a little anxious this pregnancy, this is also my first time to be a working mom (outside the home). I know God will give me the strength and time to accomplish what I need to, but I still worry about work/life balance and making sure everything gets done but that I also spend enough time with my family. Working on giving that to the Lord and trusting He already knows all of that and He has equipped me to handle it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>how far along: </b>13 weeks 1 day<br />
<b>maternity clothes: </b>About 90% of the time<br />
<b>sleep: </b>Still pretty good. I had a terrible time of insomnia last night for some reason and couldn't fall asleep until almost 2am. Thankfully that's an exception and not normal.<br />
<b>food aversions: </b>Oh yeah. Still coffee and raw meat and most smells. Blah.<br />
<b>food cravings: </b>anything sour. this week I picked up raspberry sorbet and it is HEAVEN. Still no major cravings, but cheeseburgers sit well. And obviously, Dr. Pepper.<br />
<b>started showing: </b>oh yeah<br />
<b>gender prediction: </b>Still think boy at this point.<br />

<br />
Baby Lowery #3, our precious rainbow baby, is set to make his or her debut right after the New Year---our official due date is January 5, 2020. After going through a miscarriage at the end of February, our plan was to wait until later this summer to start "trying" for another baby to add to our family. Imagine our surprise when we were in Florida visiting my sister and bro-in-law in May and found out we were pregnant again!<br />
<br />
*side note---it's very un-like us to have a surprise pregnancy. we are crazy planners and my other 3 pregnancies were planned pretty well. But it also makes this rainbow baby that much sweeter.<br />
<br />
We plan to wait and find out baby's gender at delivery, which we have never done before and we are really excited for that experience! Our kids are CRAZY excited to add another sibling to our family. Holt is convinced it's a boy and Evie says it's a girl, but we are telling them that we will be happy either way ;) They talk about the baby almost every day and they ask to look at the app on my phone with all the videos on what the baby looks like this week. I'm going to be an absolute puddle once this baby is here and I see them with their new brother or sister. They are going to do so well!<br />
<br />
I haven't been feeling the best so far this pregnancy, which honestly I am so THANKFUL for. Losing a baby changes your perspective on the first trimester morning sickness. I do ok in the mornings, I usually take a nap when Evie naps (and Holt has quiet time) but the afternoons are KILLING ME. It's been pretty rough. I actually started taking Diclegis a couple of weeks ago which is helping some. The key for me this time is keeping something on my stomach and Dr. Pepper (I swear it's the Magic Juice of pregnancy). Bless my sweet husband--he has picked up the slack without complaining! He comes home from work, cooks dinner, feeds the kids and puts them to bed. He's pretty much amazing.<br />
<br />
I won't lie. after finding out we were pregnant again, we were excited but it was a very CAUTIOUS excitement. I walked around the first few weeks almost holding my breath because I was afraid of what that first ultrasound would show. When I started feeling nauseous I was so thankful, but I had that last time too so that didn't necessarily ease my mind. I didn't see my doctor until I was 8 weeks pregnant. Thankfully, we have a sweet friend at our church who is an ultrasound tech at a local clinic and she offered for me to come in and have a quick scan. We initially went in at 6 weeks and we could see the baby but it was too tiny to see if the heart was fluttering. We went back one week later and the whole time I just prayed. She started scanning me, we saw the baby, and IMMEDIATELY saw it's little heart just fluttering away. PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW. I cried. Tears of joy. Tears of relief. Tears of sadness for my other baby that I didn't get to see her heartbeat. Tears of thankfulness.<br />
<br />
I saw my doctor at 8 weeks and we took the kids with us to our first appointment (the day after Memorial Day, during the Flood of 2019). We told them right before we left where we were going and the surprise and excitement on their faces is a moment I will never forget. We saw the baby on ultrasound again, saw the heartbeat, everything measured right on track for my estimated due date. It was a great day. I go back next week on June 26th and we continue to pray for a healthy report.<br />

<b>stretch marks: </b>I got a couple small stretch marks with Evie, and I'll be interested to see if I get any this time--especially since the belly is already out.<br />
<b>sleep: </b>I've been sleeping pretty well. I usually nap when Evie goes down and then I'm still tired and sleeping all night. I'm ready for my energy to come back!<br />
<b>food aversions: </b>ugh. most things. especially meat. gross. and no coffee again this go round.<br />
<b>food cravings: </b>not necessarily a craving, but the only thing I have found that sticks with me is a cheeseburger with french fries. I have literally had Braum's for lunch every single day during the last week.<br />
<b>started showing: </b>Yup. Embracing it, wearing some maternity clothes and honestly a little glad I already look pregnant instead of just looking like I ate too much<br />
<b>gender prediction: </b>At this point, my initial thought is a boy. Just based off of the food that somewhat sounds good to me and the fact that I'm not crazy sick all day long like I was with Evie. But, who knows? I'll be interested to see if my prediction changes throughout this pregnancy!<br />

<br />
one week ago, our world stopped in a haze of grief and sadness. what we thought would be a doctor's appointment full of joy, turned out to be one of sorrow.<br />
<br />
the week of Valentine's Day, we found out we were pregnant with Baby Lowery #3 and we were so excited. I went in the following week to check my HCG levels and they were great---measuring at 30,000. We scheduled our first appointment for Tuesday, February 26 at 9:30am. We went in and my doctor wheeled in the little ultrasound machine. We got the first look at our sweet baby. After a few minutes, my doctor said, "I am so sorry to tell you this, but I am not seeing a heartbeat." It didn't really register in my brain what that meant until a few minutes later.<br />
<br />
my doctor is truly amazing. I am so grateful for him. He left the room to give us a few minutes to process what was happening and then came back in to discuss some things with us. He was very sensitive to what was happening, and the first thing he told me was that it wasn't my fault. He gave us three options:<br />
<br />
1) wait and let my body miscarry naturally--although we had no idea the timeframe that would take<br />
2) he could give me some meds to jumpstart the process and let my body miscarry naturally<br />
3) we could schedule a D&C<br />
<br />
we walked out of the doctor's office numb and in a fog. We drove home and just sat in silence, crying for a good while. I called my Mom to tell her the news---she had no idea we were pregnant yet. That was a hard conversation. She called me back 10 minutes later to say she was packing and heading up here.<br />
<br />
the rest of that day was a haze. Daniel picked the kids up from "school", brought them home and we all cried together as we told them the news. Evie was just crying because the rest of us were crying. Holt fully understood though. He cried and cried. And then he stopped and prayed, "God, please let my mama have another baby in her belly so I can have a brother or a sister." *cue more tears. GAH*<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted the D&C. I don't believe there is one right option to do---to each their own. But for me, this is what I wanted. I had a lot coming up on the calendar with Rhea Lana's and I didn't want something to happen then. I didn't want to have this looming over my head and just wondering when it would happen. And honestly, I didn't want to feel pregnant anymore.<br />
<br />
the hospital was able to squeeze me in the next day for my procedure. Wednesday, February 27th at noon. My mom arrived and was a huge help with the kids. We decided to go to dinner Tuesday night because I wasn't up for cooking. We had the most amazing waitress and someone ended up blessing us and paying for our meal. Whoever you are, if you're reading this, that meant more than you know.<br />
<br />
Wednesday morning, we took the kids to my best friend's house---she honestly is more like a sister to me than anything and the fact she was willing to watch my kids most of the day was just the sweetest. I dropped them off and we cried (more like sobbed) together at the loss of our baby. I arrived to the hospital, checked in, and the waiting game began. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous. I haven't had any kind of surgery since I was 3 years old. But everyone was so kind and helpful and put me at ease. I was wheeled back at 12:15pm, Dr. Riche was speaking to my mom and husband after surgery at 12:30pm and at 1:00pm they were waking me up in recovery.<br />
<br />
we got home about 2:00pm and I slept for a few hours. My mom was a huge help taking care of the kids and making sure I was resting. Overall, my physical recovery was great. I never had nausea or cramping or anything. Emotionally, we are still recovering and I know that will continue for a while.<br />
<br />
while we don't understand why this happened, we know the Lord is still good and He has not abandoned us. Walking through this grieving process has been difficult, but the amount of love and prayer and support poured out on us has been amazing.<br />
<br />
they say miscarriage is very common and it's normal for most women to experience at least one. But you never think it will happen to you. To anyone else out there who has experienced this heartbreak, I am so sorry and I am here for you. One of my friends who messaged me told me this: "this club is one you never want to be part of, but you'll find it to be one of the most encouraging and supportive groups ever." I am finding that to be true.<br />
<br />
one of the ways we have decided to help with our grief is to name our baby. We will never officially know the gender because it was so early but we decided to name our baby, Hope. Hope has a lot of meaning for us---we have a confident hope that this baby is in the arms of Jesus and that one day we will see her in heaven. We also have hope that the Lord will restore our loss in the future with a healthy baby. Hope is a powerful thing.<br />
<br />
Sweet baby Hope will always have a place in our hearts. And for that I am thankful.<br />
<br />

<br />
18 MONTHS. YEAR AND A HALF.<br />
<br />
Time is absolutely FLYING and this Mama is really not ok with it. Of course we have had another MAJOR LIFE CHANGE in the last couple of months, which doesn't help that, but still! The second year goes by so much faster than the first.<br />
<br />
Evie brings all kinds of spunk and sass to our family. This girl is majorly dramatic, screams for fun, definitely stands her ground, and is stubborn as a mule. She also loves to sing, dances to music anytime it's on, and gives the sweetest hugs and kisses (when she wants to). Her vocabulary is absolutely exploding and she understands so much. Y'all, she even POOPED ON THE POTTY the other day!! Granted, that was a total fluke and hasn't happened since, but still. The fact that she grasped the concept already gives me a lot of hope! Also, the girl could live off of Eggo blueberry frozen waffles. Yes, we reference Stranger Things ALL. THE. TIME. My little "Eleven" LOL!<br />
<br />
We still have a paci, but she is slowly weaning off of it. There are a few times we have forgotten it at home on "school" days and she has done absolutely fine without it. Gives me lots of hope because after the first of the year, we are starting the process of "bye bye paci."<br />
<br />
She has popped all of her I-teeth FINALLY. Poor thing has been teething those for about 3 months and they broke through the other day. Just in time for her molars to start coming in. *sigh* <br />
<br />
Here's what has been happening the last 3 months:<br />

<b>Height: </b>31 inches (20th percentile)<br />
<b>Weight:</b> 22 lbs 4 oz (45th percentile)<br />
<br />
<b>Favorites: </b>*her Bubba *her Daddy---my goodness is she a Daddy's girl! *music *jewelry *shoes *anything sparkly *baby dolls *brushing her hair *Moana (still) *basically she is ALL GIRL!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping:</b> She is still a pretty good sleeper! We had somewhat of a regression with Daylight Savings where she started waking up at 6/6:15 AM, but after a week or so we settled back into our normal routine. She naps one nap a day still for about 1 hour 45 minutes---just about on the dot. She NEVER wakes or cries during the night, so a couple nights when she has we have somewhat freaked out. Thankfully, I think it's just her molars starting to come in. We are getting ready to break the paci though, so pray it goes as smoothly with her as it did Holt!<br />
<br />
<b>Feeding: </b>The girl can eat! Still! She eats a waffle and banana (sometimes two of each) for breakfast with milk. We normally have a morning snack and then lunch is PB sandwich with a pouch and another side (string cheese, goldfish, pretzels, etc). After nap we have another snack with milk and then she eats whatever we eat for dinner.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well it's been a couple of months, but I wanted to document our journey of the Lord led us to Rhea Lana's.<br />
<br />
If you had asked me this time last year if by the end of 2017 I would be a small business owner, I would've laughed in your face. God certainly has a sense of humor.<br />
<br />
Last August, I drove to Conway to shop the Rhea Lana's Fall/Winter event like normal. Afterward, my dad just casually mentioned to me, <i>"Hey I think you could totally do this." "Do what?"</i><br />
<i>"THIS. Rhea Lana's. You could run one of these." </i><br />
<br />
Well, that got me thinking. With Daniel being in ministry, we have always known that more than likely I would need to go back to work at some point in the future. I LOVE staying home with my babies and the thought of not doing that makes me physically ill. So this could potentially provide a perfect solution--I could make this work around our schedule. My family would still be priority, but I could run a business that I fully believed in and loved on the side. I did some research, talked it over with Daniel, prayed over it, and met with Rhea Lana a few weeks later. She told me they were not opening any more franchises in Arkansas. <i>Well, there went that.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><b>BUT....</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
The franchise in Muskogee was possibly interested in selling.<br />
<br />
<i>Muskogee?? Oklahoma? I'd have to commute back and forth? I don't know ANYTHING about Muskogee!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
But the more we prayed over it and as we continued to get information on this location and franchise, we just felt this inexplicable peace to keep moving forward. Initially, my parents were going to go in on it with us as co-owners. But after they prayed about it, they did not feel at peace. So they backed out, but have continued to support us as we explored this possibility.<br />
<br />
To be honest, we kind of dragged our feet a little bit. From the time I initially met with Rhea Lana until we pulled the trigger was about two months. But the Lord in His perfect timing worked everything out. And we just couldn't say no.<br />
<br />
So we signed papers on October 28, 2017, and I went to training up in Northwest Arkansas the first week of November. I have hit the ground running ever since!<br />
<br />
This company has absolutely blown me away. Their support of one another, willingness to help each other out, their heart for helping other moms and giving back to their communities. It truly is a family and I am SO PROUD to be part of it!<br />
<br />
Be sure to keep up with Rhea Lana's of Muskogee and all the fun things we will be doing!

<br />
Thank you for all the love and support y'all have given our family as we make this exciting transition! Continue to pray for wisdom and direction in making decisions as well as grace and patience within our family as everyone adjusts to mom working outside the home.<br />

<br />
What a fun summer we have had with our little girl! At times it has been SO HOT (welcome to the south) so we haven't been able to get out of the house much, but nonetheless we have had a good time watching our sweet baby continue to grow and learn new things!<br />
<br />
Her personality is really starting to come out too! She is determined and sassy and stubborn and sweet and funny. She loves to play peek-a-boo and has killer dance moves and she has discovered how fun it is to scream like a little pterodactyl. She definitely has a dramatic side and has already figured out how to try to get her way. We have already had one battle of wills that resulted in her screaming and crying for 35 minutes because she refused to say "please." Whew are we in for it! You can go ahead and start praying for us now (especially her daddy).<br />
<br />
Next week, she gets to start going to Mother's Day Out. I am so excited about this for her! Holt already loves it and I think she will too---the structure and socialization will be so good for her. Plus, Mama gets a break twice a week! Woohoo!<br />
<br />
Over the last few months, we:<br />

Her vocabulary has exploded! She can say: uh-oh, Bubba, Holt, Mama, Dad/Daddy, bubble (Bubble Guppies), bug, more, RoRo, Melly, bye bye and hi (hi dad/bye dad are her favorites), baby, vroom vroom, thank you, please, that's cold!, what's that? (50 million times a day), hot!, shoes, diaper, hold me<br />
<br />
She has several teeth now! She has 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, and all her molars. Just waiting on her I-teeth and 2-year molars and then she's done! Because of ALL those teeth coming through, she hasn't been sleeping the best. But, I think we are finally coming out on the other side!<br />

<b>weight: </b>21 lbs (45th percentile) *she has hit a MAJOR growth spurt! Normally she's in the<br />
<b>height: </b>31 inches (60th percentile) 15th percentile for both!*<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Favorites</b>: *dancing to music *Moana and Trolls and Bubble Guppies *her bubba *mama and daddy *being outside *jewelry--girl loves her bling! *shoes--she will come to me carrying her shoes and say "shoooo" wanting to wear them! I told Daniel he was in trouble already ;) *baths *pacis--she normally has a Paci in her mouth and at least one in her hand. For nap and bed we have about 4 pacis in there at all times. That will be fun to wean her off that!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping:</b> This has been kind of everywhere this summer. She has been teething a lot, which has made it tough. We did FINALLY go down to one nap a day, but it's been kind of back and forth all summer. For a few weeks she would still need two naps and then she would go down to one and then back to two. But eventually we worked out a system where she has officially dropped down to one nap. She does sleep all night (thank goodness teething never interfered with that) from about 6:30/6:45pm--7:15/7:30am so I am more than ok with the days being a little rough. She is a very light sleeper like her daddy, so that makes it a little more challenging too, but overall I'm just happy she sleeps at night!<br />
<br />
<b>Feeding: </b>She is still a great eater. She definitely went through a growth spurt this summer, but I think it's slowing down now. She eats a waffle and banana for breakfast with milk then maybe has a mid-morning snack of goldfish or cheerios. For lunch she has a peanut butter sandwich, a pouch, and one other side (pretzels, string cheese, raisins). After nap she has milk and another snack and then she eats whatever we eat for dinner. Thankful for another good eater!<br />

Evie Elizabeth, <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You have amazed me this summer! You have become more sassy and spunky, taking after your Aunt Hannah, and WAY more vocal! You really understand what is happening around you and you're starting to figure out how to communicate with words. You already loves shoes and jewelry and babies and having your hair brushed--a true girly girl! Oh, and you love to twirl and dance whenever music is on. You adore your daddy and your Bubba and you love to snuggle with me too. You are growing up before our eyes and we couldn't be more proud of you. You are such a precious, precious gift and somedays I stare at you and tear up because I can't believe you're ours! We love you to the moon and back our little Evie-girl! </div>

THREE.<br />
<br />
Y'all. My mama heart can't handle the fact that it's been three years since I first laid eyes on this beautiful child of mine. The one who made me a mama.<br />
<br />
1095 days and 26, 280 precious (and let's be honest, some not so precious) hours with him. He has taught me more in the last three years than just about any other human being has in my 28 years on this earth. Because of him, I have a greater understanding of God's unconditional love for me as His child (and how His heart must hurt when I disobey or make bad choices). Because of him, I have a better understanding of how selfish I am as a human, and I have learned what it truly means to have a servant heart--to put someone else's needs before my own (pretty much all the time).<br />
<br />
Motherhood is a calling. It is THE HARDEST thing I have ever done. But it's also the most JOYFUL and REWARDING thing I've ever done too. Motherhood is having your heart walking around outside your body. And this one right here started it all. From the moment I heard his tiny heart beating on that very first ultrasound to the moment I heard his first cry to the moment of tucking him into his big boy bed.<br />
<br />
ALL. THE. FEELS.<br />
<br />
So what is Holt up to at three years old?<br />
<br />
He has a big heart--he is seriously one of the sweetest kids I've ever met. He is very in tune with people's emotions and will say, "Mama, you mad?" or "Mama, you happy?" Or he will notice others and ask why they are mad or sad.<br />
<br />
He is extremely inquisitive. I know most 3 years olds ask lots of questions because that's just their brain exploding with learning a whole bunch of things at once. But, my word! Not only is Holt a typical 3 year old, but he is his daddy's child. Meaning, it's like questions on questions on questions. ALL. DAY. LONG. "Mama, what is this?" "It's a bug Holt." "What kind of bug?" "A locust." "Why is it a locust?" "Because that's how God made it." "Why is that how God made it?" Etc, Etc, Etc....<br />
Sometimes I just have to go in my closet and close the door to just breathe for a second.<br />
<br />
He has started showing physical affection. He will consciously come give me a hug or want to cuddle on the couch. And at least once a day (but usually much more) he'll say "Mama, I give you a kiss?" And then, "Mama, I give you a butterfly kiss?" And then, "Mama, I give you an eskimo kiss?" Gah, it just absolutely melts me. Everytime.<br />
<br />
He definitely thrives on routine and everything being in its place. He is not very keen on change. We have had LOTS of change this year, but he has handled it like a champ. Daniel got a new job and we moved to a new church with new people, we moved to a new house (back into Fort Smith), he got his tonsils and adenoids taken out, and he moved out of his crib into a big boy bed. That's a lot for a little kid to handle and I have to say I have been so proud of him.<br />
<br />
He still loves lawnmowers. Everytime we go to Lowe's, we stop and let him "ride" every single one. He has started expanding his love for trucks though--dump trucks, cement trucks, fire trucks, semi trucks, you name it. Oh, and airplanes and helicopters. We live close to a military base so we typically have fly overs by our house and he always tells me, "Mama, some day I want to drive an airplane."<br />
<br />
We have started working on memorizing Bible verses with him. Since January, he has memorized three verses and we are working on the fourth. This has been such a sweet time with him! And it helps me memorize them too.<br />
<br />
He loves to watch TV. During the summer, it's more of a struggle to fill our time with other things (mainly because Evie makes it harder to get out of the house) but once the school year gets going we stay busy with Mother's Day Out and BSF and playdates. He still loves Daniel Tiger, but is slowly expanding to Bubble Guppies and a few educational shows on Amazon Prime. He also loves Trolls and Moana. And still loves 101 Dalmatians and Lady & the Tramp.<br />
<br />
Probably the biggest news this year is that he is potty trained!! We still put on pull-ups for nap and nighttime but other than that, he is in underwear and fully goes to the potty without prompting! Also, he 's a little obsessed with going in the urinal (LOL).<br />
<br />
He still takes one nap a day from 12/12:30pm-3:00pm. I usually have to wake him up! Bedtime is till 7:30pm and he normally sleeps til 7:30/8am. He is a really good sleeper!<br />
<br />
I have started writing down some of the funny things Holt says! Enjoy!<br />
"Mama/Daddy, you hur (hear) me?"<br />
"Daddy how you make that fire? <i>Because daddy is a man, son. </i>Holt is a man."<br />
"How you doin dad?"<br />
"Don't worry it bout it mama"<br />
"I need to put on my swim-soup (swimsuit)"<br />
"Mama is drinking out of the toilet daddy" (referring to when I had a stomach virus)<br />
<br />
His vocabulary and understanding of what is happening around him is astonishing to me. He is to the point now that I can have little conversations with him which is crazy! I cherish those little moments of asking about what he learned at church or Vacation Bible School or what all he did on his latest adventures with Melly and RoRo.<br />

Holt Parker,<br />
<br />
I am so proud of you. You have handled this last year so incredibly well! You are a great big brother to Evie and have started trying to "play" with her in the playroom. You love to have tickle fights with her and chase her around the house. You love to spend time with me and daddy but you also are so brave in doing things by yourself or with new friends. You are so smart and I can't wait to see how much you learn in "school" this year! You fit so perfectly into our family and we are so glad you're ours! Love you to the moon and back little man!<br />
<br />
Love, Mama<br />

<br />
To my husband on Father's Day:<br />
<br />
When I would daydream about my future as a little girl, I imagined I would have a husband that would be my knight in shining armor, sweeping me off my feet and riding off into the sunset with me, straight back home to our house full of children who would behave like little angels and we would be one big, happy family.<br />
<br />
Obviously, fairy tales aren't real life, so that didn't happen. But what DID happen is I found a man who loves God more than me, who strives to do the right thing even when it's hard; a man of character and integrity and honor; a man who works hard to provide for his family; a man who treats his wife as an equal partner, respects her, loves her, and keeps her in line when needed (because we all know how bossy and sassy I can be); a man who loves his children FIERCELY and would do anything for them; a man who willingly got up with me for middle of the night diaper changes and feedings and fussy babies; a man who comes home from work and immediately runs to his children to wrestle and spend time with them; a man who realizes how important it is that I have breaks from the kids so I don't burn out; a man who makes me laugh; a man who puts up with my hormones even when they are flat out crazy (hello pregnancy and post-partum); a man I love more now than I did the day I married him.<br />
<br />
I am so proud and honored to be your wife and to have you as the father to my children. Thank you for being you. And thank you for doing this whole parenting thing with me---you pretty much rock at it.<br />

<br />
ONE YEAR. 365 DAYS.<br />
<br />
We made it. In the very beginning, I wasn't sure we would. But after about month 3, time has FLOWN. Even amidst all the hard days and sleepless nights, time seems to go way too fast. We went from a sleepy little newborn baby girl to a WALKING, talking, laughing precious little toddler girl.<br />
<br />
When Holt turned one, I wrote a post about <a href="http://lowerysinlouisville.blogspot.com/2015/07/first-year-of-motherhood.html" target="_blank">12 Lessons in 12 Months of Motherhood</a>. The same applies with the second kid too! It's been a good reminder to go back and re-read.<br />
<br />
Evie finally started walking this month! It has been the absolute cutest thing! Of course it was the week after we moved into our new house and it was like all of a sudden she figured out she could do it! And she is SO proud of herself. She just walks around with her little arms in the air and the biggest smile on her face. She has mastered it so well already--she can walk while holding toys or a cup or a snack. It is so fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Walking has seemed to bring her out of her shell too because her personality has just exploded! She has turned into such a ham! She cracks herself up and loves to discover new noises. It's hilarious to see her and Holt together--he says "Mama! I make Evie laugh!" Then he starts fake laughing and then Evie laughs at him and then he starts really laughing and they just keep going for like a full minute. You can't help but laugh too! Makes my mama heart burst.<br />
<br />
We celebrated Evie's first Easter this month.<br />

She busted a new tooth this month! Last month one of her top teeth came through and I thought the 2nd one did too, but it kept going back up in her gums. It FINALLY popped the other day. Now I think she's teething several other teeth though. It has been interrupting her sleep which is no fun. Poor thing.<br />
<br />
She has a couple new words! She now says "uh-oh" for just about everything. But especially when she drops something on the floor--whether accidentally or on purpose. She just started saying "wheee!"and every now and then she says "wow!" But her two favorite words are "mama" and "uh-oh" lol.<br />
<br />
WE FINALLY MASTERED THE SIPPY CUP. Oh my goodness. I thought she would never figure it out. Stubborn little thing! Wonder where she gets that from ;) And now that she has figured that out she drinks so much more fluid! It used to be a huge struggle to get her to drink 12-16 oz a day. Now she probably gets minimally 20oz a day.<br />

Also, baby girl can EAT. The other day for breakfast she had a donut, whole banana, a waffle, an egg and a cup of milk. Her belly was huge!! And 2 hours later she was ready to eat again. She's still so tiny so I"m not sure where she's putting it, but goodness! Thankful to have another healthy eater!<br />

<b>Favorites: </b>*her daddy *her brother *her mama *food *walking *being outside *any kind of ball *music<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sleeping: </b>Sleeping has not been the best this month. Between moving, teething, trying to learn how to walk, and going through a leap, it's been rough. Thankfully she still sleeps all night, but she has been waking up between 6-6:30AM and then only sleeping about an hour during the day. Sometimes an hour and a half. We have moved to one nap a day (WAY earlier than Holt did) but that seems to help. AND we have been putting her down for nighttime between 5:45-6PM. NO JOKE. Since she doesn't sleep much during the day she is just utterly exhausted and can't make it past that. I have to be honest, it's kind of nice. But it's crazy to me!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Feeding: </b>As mentioned above, she is a fantastic eater. So nice to finally be at the point that we don't have to space out feedings and bottles and can just "wing it" with snacks and meals and cups of milk. We live on pouches and puffs and goldfish for snacks. She eats a waffle or an egg with cheese and a banana with milk for breakfast. Lunch is usually a peanut butter or grilled cheese sandwich with goldfish. And dinner is usually whatever we eat--she loves tuna, chicken, veggies, pasta salad, breakfast for dinner....whatever!<br />
<br />
Typical schedule:<br />
<br />
6-6:30AM up for the day<br />
7AM milk and breakfast<br />
playtime and snack at some point<br />
10:45-11AM lunch<br />
11:15-11:30AM nap<br />
(if I'm lucky, she sleeps until 2 but not usually)<br />
snack after nap<br />
playtime<br />
5PM dinner<br />
5:45-6PM bedtime (sometimes we can stretch it to 6:30PM for bedtime but not often. if we have night plans then I'll probably let her have a later afternoon nap so she can handle it)<br />

<br />
<br />
If you have been following the blog, I mentioned a few months ago that Holt has been having night terrors ever since Evie was born (yes, for a whole year now). At first we just thought it was the transition to having a new sibling, but it kept going and kept going. And then he started snoring really bad around Thanksgiving. Finally in February at his 2.5 year checkup, we mentioned it to the pediatrician. He said a lot of times, night terrors can be caused by sleep apnea (where you quit breathing for little moments at a time while sleeping, reducing oxygen to the brain). Sleep apnea can be caused by large tonsils and adenoids. After examining Holt's throat, he said on a scale of 1-4, Holt's were a 3. We tried some steroid nose spray for a month and when that didn't change anything, he referred us to an ENT, Dr. Stinson at Cooper Clinic here in Fort Smith.<br />
<br />
We met with her on April 12 and after one look she said, "yeah, those are rather large. he definitely needs surgery." SO, last Friday, May 5th, we checked into Outpatient Surgery Center at Mercy Hospital for Holt to undergo his first ever surgery.<br />
<br />
<br />
--6:30AM: check-in<br />
*the kids played and watched stuff on the iPad. Holt couldn't have anything to eat or drink since midnight, so we tried to limit Evie's eating breakfast until after he was back in pre-op. Mom, Dad, and Gran were with us to help with Evie and offer love and support. And coffee.<br />
--7:30AM: head back to pre-op<br />
*Daniel and I took Holt back where they weighed him and measured his height (31.8 pounds and 37.5 in tall). Then we changed him into the hospital gown and the anesthesiologist came by. He introduced himself and gave Holt a TY beanie baby bunny to hold onto. The nurse came back in and checked Holt's vitals and gave him a dose of Versed to help him relax and start getting a little loopy. It was hilarious once it started kicking in! Our pastor, Russ, came in to see Holt and he let him play with his FitBit watch--which entertained him for the next 30 minutes until time for the surgery. In his loopy state, Holt kept asking "what time it is?"<br />
--8:30AM: Dr. Stinson came by and explained the procedure and what to expect afterwards again. Then she asked Holt if he wanted her to carry him or if he wanted to ride the "choo choo train" (hospital bed). Much to my surprise he chose to be wheeled back in the bed and the whole way he and Dr. Stinson said "choo choo!!" Y'all. She is the best. That was when I teared up. But thankfully, the meds kicked in and I don't think Holt even noticed I wasn't going with him.<br />
--9:30AM: I start getting nervous because what only should've taken 20-30 minutes was taking over an hour. FINALLY Dr. Stinson came out to the waiting room to talk with us. She said they had trouble intubating him because of how large his tonsils were and it took him a little while to breathe off the anesthesia. She also told us his adenoids were just as large as his tonsils and she was 100% confident that he needed this surgery. It could have been bad if we had waited. She said everything went very well and that shortly we could go back and see him.<br />
--10AM: They called our name to head back to post-op. He was hysterical, bothered by the IV in his foot and asking for "mama" which is to be expected coming out of anesthesia. I grabbed him and cuddled with him, telling him how proud I was. He asked for daddy and RoRo and as soon as my dad got back there he fell asleep on my chest. He hasn't done that since he was a baby--my heart was mush. We had to wait until 10:30AM to be dismissed. About 10:20AM the nurse came to take out his IV, gave us the discharge papers, and explained all the home recovery info we needed to know. We put his PJ's back on and carried him out to the car. He was literally the only child not screaming and crying leaving the hospital.<br />
--10:45AM: We made it back home (so nice to only live 3 minutes from the hospital now!). He asked for a popsicle outside with RoRo.<br />
<br />
Throughout the rest of that day he was very tired. We rotated his meds every 3 hours and he slept a lot. I had to check on him several times to make sure he was breathing because for the first time in a year, he wasn't snoring or making noise while sleeping! That night, he slept 10 hours before waking and needing medicine again. He did really good eating popsicles and applesauce and drinking fluids for the most part.<br />
<br />
Things didn't get super hard until Sunday night, into Monday and then Tuesday. He did not want to drink at all and he was starting to get severely dehydrated. I came very close to taking him to the ER for fluids because no matter what we tried, he wasn't drinking enough. The highest his fever got was 103.5, but it hovered around 101-101.5 for several days. I am SO SO SO thankful my mom came to help! I probably could've done it by myself but I would've been absolutely miserable. I had to tough love him several times and often it would take 2 hours for him to drink 3 oz of fluid. It got to the point I didnt' let him do anything until he drank. It was awful.<br />
<br />
Finally, Wednesday was the turning point. He started acting more himself and actually asked for a drink. He consistently drank water, gatorade, milk, and PediaSure chocolate shakes and actually had an appetite. He woke up hungry for breakfast and then had a big lunch too. My mom had to head home early Wednesday morning so I am very grateful things started turning around.<br />
<br />
I am very, very thankful we had this surgery done. And I am very, very thankful God provided the finances to pay for it and that we had so many people lifting us up in prayer and checking on us to see how we were doing. It's never easy to make decisions like that when it concerns your child, but it helps when you know it's the best thing for them. Hopefully this will help his night terrors go away completely and he will start sleeping better from here on out. He has basically been exhausted 24/7 for the last year because even though he slept a lot, his quality of sleep was terrible. Thankful for modern medicine and a relatively quick recovery!<br />

Now that we are 10 days post-op, Holt is finally back to himself and drinking his normal amount of fluid. He does still have some pain--sometimes he tells me his ear hurts, but that's just residual pain shooting up to his ears--but he really only needs tylenol or ibuprofen once or twice a day. It was tough, surgery usually is, but I am extremely grateful to our pediatrician for taking our concerns seriously and referring us to Dr. Stinson. I have no doubt things could've gotten pretty bad in the near future had we not taken action now. Thankful to have my healthy boy back! <div>

In 30 days, our beautiful girl will be the big O-N-E! Time flies when you're having fun!<br />
<br />
We remark all the time about just what a happy baby she is---unless she isn't getting her way LOL. Really the only time she cries is when she is either tired, hungry, or I walk out of a room. Or if she really wants to practice walking, but my back hurts so I have to put her down. She can definitely throw a fit ;)<br />
<br />
This month we have just gone full speed ahead. She seems to understand things more and more everyday, but she isn't really saying any words. She can say "mama" and "dada" but other than that she just speaks gibberish 24/7 (thus why we nicknamed her our little Ewok).<br />
<br />
She is a great eater and has finally started taking more of her formula! I'm excited because over this next month we will slowly wean her off formula and on to whole milk (hallelujah for no more money going to formula!). She eats pretty much anything we put in front of her and she gets pretty excited for her food. Lots of "oooo" and "ahhh" come from her when it's mealtime.<br />
<br />
I STILL cannot get her to take sippy cups. I know she can, because she did it one time, but she flat out refuses. I've tried straw cups, the 360 cups, soft spout sippy cups, you name it. Talk about stubborn! I wonder where she gets that? ;) Oh well, one day she will decide to take them. She won't be on bottles forever.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite things she does, is when she sees something she really likes or gets excited about, she just squeals and kicks her legs and says "oooooooo!!" She does this when she sees me or her daddy after being in nursery, or when she sees her bottle, or when she sees jewelry she likes, or when she gets to go to the nursery at church and sees the shiny stars hanging from the ceiling. It is the cutest thing! I hope she keeps that up for a long time!<br />
<br />
We moved her to size 3 diapers this month. She could probably still fit in a size 2, but we have a bunch of size 3 from the pounding our church and for us last fall and I didn't really want to go buy size 2 diapers when I already had size 3 in the garage.<br />
<br />
She learned how to wave this month.<br />
<br />
We had a big Lowery Family birthday weekend in NWA and the kids LOVED it! They had so much fun with all their cousins! And of course, I failed and didn't take a big cousin pic with all 11 of them.<br />

We dedicated Evie at church this month! She got to wear a "vintage" gown that my grandmother made for my cousin (who is now 20 years old) when she was a dedicated as a baby. It was so beautiful! Such a special day of dedicating her to our Lord and having the love and support of our church family.<br />

Her two top teeth broke through her gums this month and are working their way down. I'm soaking up these last few days when she still has a gummy smile because once those big teeth come down, her whole face will change and she won't be my tiny baby anymore.<br />
<br />
We separated Evie and Holt into different rooms last week. I knew we would have to at some point, and lately Evie has been waking really early--usually about 6:30am or so. Holt needs more sleep, and it was causing him to be whiny and grouchy. Since separating them, they have both done better! Holt sleeps until about 8am (sometimes later) and actually a few different days, Evie slept until 7:30am! I think this will help with the transition to our new house too (see below).<br />
<br />
Much to my surprise, she still isn't walking. She loves to walk while holding onto our fingers or cruise along the sofa or coffee table, but as soon as we let go she sits back down. She doesn't quite have the confidence to do it by herself yet. But she will! I think one day, she's just going to surprise us and take off!<br />
<br />
We are in the process of moving right now. Back when Daniel got his new job in October, we decided to put our house on the market in hopes of moving closer--trying to cut down the 30 minute drive (one-way). Well, at the beginning of March we sold our house! We were so excited and immediately started looking for our new home. Long story short (don't worry, I'll do a separate post just on our house hunt journey), we FINALLY found a house about 10 days ago. Talk about crunch time! We are moving in this Saturday (April 22nd) and we have been super busy trying to get everything ready! Moving with kids is an entirely new experience and I am more than ready for it to be over!<br />

<b>Weight: </b>17 lbs (just a guess)<br />
<b>Height: </b>27 inches<br />
<br />
<b>Favorites:</b> *her daddy--as soon as he gets home from work, she immediately goes to him and cries if he puts her down *Mother Goose Club on Netflix--if I absolutely HAVE to get something done around the house, I put this on for 30 minutes *trying to walk *eating--girlfriend loves her food *her brother---anything he does she thinks is hysterical<br />
<br />
<b>Milestones: </b>*waving<br />
<br />
<b>Feeding:</b> She loves food! Pretty much anything I put in front of her, she will at least try. She likes most of it, except for vegetables of course. Thank goodness for pouches! Our goal this month is to switch over to whole milk. Yay for no more formula!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping: </b>Sleep is kind of up and down. She continues to sleep all night, with the exception of one night last week when she spiked a fever. Naps are hit and miss, but NORMALLY she sleeps about 30-45 minutes in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. Some days though, she only takes (3) 30 minute naps. Especially with teething, it's been a little tougher. We did end up separating Evie and Holt this month. She wakes up really early--usually around 6:30am or so. Holt needs more sleep and needs to sleep until about 7:30/8am so we went ahead and split them into separate rooms. So far its working really well. We even had 3 days last week where Evie slept in until 7;30am!<br />

Our sweet Evie-girl,<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You light up every room you enter! You love to be around people and it still hurts your feelings when you're all alone. You aren't the best napper, but I' m hoping that changes once we get through these teeth and you conquer walking. You are a big cuddler, which we LOVE, and you think your brother absolutely hung the moon. We can't imagine our family without you sweet girl! Excited to see what these next 30 days hold!<br /><br /></div>

DOUBLE DIGITS.<br />
<br />
Y'all. We are only two months shy of my precious girl turning one. I feel like time is just flying full speed ahead and there's nothing I can do do stop it!<br />
<br />
BIG NEWS this month--she can have all dairy now! We have transitioned her to Enfagrow Formula which she is doing great with and plan to switch her to milk right before her first birthday. She can also eat yogurt and cheese now which is so nice!<br />
<br />
It's been an eventful month for our family. If you've been following along, with my blog we listed our house for sale last November in hopes of moving into Fort Smith to be closer to our new church. Well, we SOLD it and officially signed the contract on Friday, March 10th! We are so excited and now we are praying for God to lead us to the next place he has for us. We really want to be smart with our finances and know that God already has the perfect place in mind for us.<br />
<br />
*Aunt Hannah came down for a day and we took her to the park! It was Evie's first time in a swing and needless to say, she enjoyed herself. Both of the kids had a blast! We all love her so much and we are so glad she came down!<br />

<br />
*Sweet thing is teething her top teeth pretty hard core, bless her heart. Combine that with spring allergies, and she's had a little bit of a rough time the last couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
*She wants to walk SO BAD. But she's still kind of tentative and nervous to actually take any steps on her own. That surprises me a little, but she will get there.<br />
<br />
*This girl LOVES her brother! It doesn't matter what he does, she just thinks he hung the moon. Lately, their new thing is Holt "plays" the guitar and she just claps and claps for him. There has also been a few mornings where they'll spend 30 minutes just talking to each other from their cribs. One morning, I heard Holt tell her "Evie, you're so silly!" Melt. my. heart.<br />

<br />
<b>Weight: </b>16.5-17 pounds (complete guess since we don't have a scale)<br />
<b>Height: </b>27 inches (20th percentile)<br />
<br />
<b>Feeding:</b> she LOVES food! And she really just wants to feed herself---independent little thing. She eats a scrambled egg for breakfast every morning, and has just about eaten everything we have put in front of her--chicken, beef, green peas, green beans, pancakes,waffles, muffins, noodles, black olives, carrots, corn, bananas, strawberries...anything! She is starting to refuse baby food altogether, except pouches, so we just basically feed her what we eat. She has significantly cut down on her bottles as well---she maybe drinks 16 oz a day. Mostly she drinks 3-4 oz at a time throughout the day. And YAY she can have dairy now! Our new formula is much cheaper too--PRAISES. Thankfully we only have a few more weeks of buying formula before we transition to whole milk. I'm trying to start implementing sippy cups and so far she does pretty well. Holt was completely off bottles at this point, so hopefully by next month she will be off them too.<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping:</b> She still does well sleeping all night (hallelujah) but she has been waking up pretty early--between 6 and 6:30am. It would be fine if she was happy when she wakes up, but instead she just cries until we come get her. Inevitably, this wakes up Holt, who would probably sleep til 7:30AM if he could, so its been a bit of an adjustment for everyone. I'm hoping this time change helps her start sleeping a little later! She takes 2 naps a day--a morning catnap at 9AM and a longer afternoon nap at 12:45/1:00PM. She does great with putting herself to sleep just like her brother.<br />
<br />
<b>Milestones: </b>She can free stand for several seconds now! She also has started cruising a little around the couch and coffee table. Plus, she lOVES to hold someone's fingers and walk around the house. It won't be long before we have another walker in the house!<br />
<br />
<b>Schedule:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
7AM 6 oz bottle (usually she drinks 4-5 oz of it)<br />
8AM breakfast--scrambled egg, muffin, waffle, etc<br />
playtime<br />
9AM--naptime (usually 30-45 min)<br />
playtime<br />
11/11:30AM lunch--PB sandwich, ham, cheese, pouch, puffs, fruit, etc<br />
playtime<br />
12:30PM bottle (usually takes 2-3 oz)<br />
12:45/1PM nap time<br />
3:30PM snack<br />
5PM dinner--usually whatever we are having<br />
6:30PM bath, pjs, nighttime bottle (usually 3-4 oz)<br />
7PM bedtime<br />

Our little man was officially 2.5 years old on February 7th. HOW???<br />
<br />
"<i>the days are long but the years are short."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
UMMMM, yeah.<br />
<br />
This boy. Goodness y'all, my heart just feels like it could BURST from the love I have for him. He is smart and kind and funny. He loves BIG and is a joy to be around. He is very logical and literal (which gives way to some hilarious phrases and situations) and would rather do whatever an adult is doing than play with toys. He loves to learn, loves to "help": make coffee or cook or wash dishes or feed the dog or take out the trash. He has a servant-hearted spirit already and we hope to foster that as he continues to get older. When he wants to be held, he comes up and says "mama, hold you!" He is very independent and wants to do everything by himself--"no, MY do it!" (i love how he says that). He isn't a big cuddler at all (he never has been though, even as a baby) so if he asks me to sit by him on the couch, I drop whatever I'm doing and go sit and soak up the fleeting moments of cuddles he is willing to give me. He has started pushing boundaries and as a result we have had to change our discipline tactics. Some days I feel like all I do is discipline, but then he will just run up, give me the biggest hug and say "hi mama" and I melt into a puddle and completely forget about how mad I was just 2 seconds ago. He has the most beautiful curly hair and big brown eyes. He has the most contagious belly laugh and it instantly makes your day better.<br />
<br />
*LOVES lawnmowers (and vacuums)---he got 2 play lawnmowers for Christmas<br />

*he has an AMAZING memory--he still remembers events or things that happened from Summer 2016! He also remembers people very well--if he meets you once or twice he WILL remember you!<br />
*In October, Daniel accepted a position of Associate Pastor at a church in the Fort Smith area. Holt hasn't skipped a beat. He has made this transition so seamlessly, it's like he has been at this church his whole life. He loves his Sunday School class and he instantly made new friends. Plus, he absolutely loves our pastor and his family. If you missed it, you can read all about it <a href="http://lowerysinlouisville.blogspot.com/2016/11/our-big-transition.html" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
*Thanksgiving 2016--he especially loved the pheasant and deer and continues to ask to go back to Sno-lic.<br />

*Christmas 2016--he loved Christmas this year! He understood more of what was happening and got really good at opening presents ;) Since we had our house on the market, we didn't get out as many decorations so next year I'm hoping to remedy that. He also didn't really understand Santa, which is fine with us. Yes, we will do Santa a little bit but we are not pushing. I found a blogpost about how this family handled Santa with their kids and we plan to do the same <a href="http://jenwilkin.blogspot.com/2011/11/santa-strategically.html?m=1" target="_blank">READ HERE</a><br />
Also, this next Christmas I plan to start Advent and get a few more Christmas books.<br />

*Night Terrors during the night and naps--these started when Evie was born. we have gone through cycles--for a while we were down to only 1-2 times a night of screaming/crying and then it will escalate to 5 or more a night. We are continuing to pray God's protection over him and asking for the Lord to guard his mind as he sleeps. Thankfully he is still a great sleeper, but I know it's not as restful as it could be. We visited with our pediatrician about this---they suggest it possibly could be an issue with large tonsils and adenoids. Although I don't necessarily hope for surgery, I do hope this could be the answer. It would be a quick fix and he could get back to his normal sleeping habits. We may meet with an ENT in the near future.<br />
*starting to play pretend and use imagination more---EX: driving the truck to work or to get donuts, playing in the kitchen and cooking, pretending he is mowing, pretending like he's sleeping<br />
*interacting with sister more--loves to play peek-a-boo with her<br />

*we have noticed this about him since he was a baby, but he has a huge interest in taking things apart, seeing how they work, and putting them back together. he is very hands on, is curious about everything we do, and loves to learn. I am so interested to see how his interests develop as he gets older and what he decides to do as a career--maybe an engineer?<br />
*loves to help make coffee, help cook (especially stirring), clean around the house, feed Sophie---anything to help!<br />

*knows all his colors<br />
*can recite his ABC's---can only recognize a few letters (his favorite is "o")<br />
*one nap a day--12:30pm to (no later than) 3:00pm<br />
*bedtime--7:30pm<br />
*we haven't necessarily encountered much of the "terrible two's", although I feel like it might be picking up a bit. Over the last month or so, he has really started pushing boundaries and becoming more defiant. We have started a new method of discipline with "standing in the corner" and it seems to be pretty effective so far. Sometimes, it feels like we discipline ALL DAY LONG and others we hardly have to discipline at all. Trying to keep in mind it's worth the hard moments now to have a well behaved kid as he gets older.<br />

<br />
9 MONTHS.<br />
<br />
90 days away from ONE.<br />
<br />
We fall more in love with our Evie-girl every day! Her little personality is really starting to shine and she is so FUN! She is still my go-with-the-flow-laid-back baby but also loves to be in the middle of the action. She thinks her brother hung the moon and anything he does is absolutely hilarious. They are going to have such a sweet bond and I can't wait to watch it play out.<br />
<br />
She doesn't have time to sit still and now her favorite thing is to hold on to my fingers and walk all over the house. She wants to walk SO BAD and I can just see the wheels in her head turning as she tries to figure it out. I think she will walk earlier than Holt did (2 weeks before he turned one). Honestly, at this point, I would rather her walk than crawl. Her clothes won't get as dirty and it will be easier to get out and do things. I might eat my words once she actually does but we will see!<br />

She's definitely a mama's girl but lights up when her daddy walks in the room. If I leave the room she is in for any reason, no matter the length of time, she starts crying (dramatic much?). And most of the time she wants to be held instead of on the floor, so I try to sit on the floor with her so she will actually play. She is slowly starting to do better about entertaining herself and Holt has started playing with her more. A couple of times this month, I have walked into the living room and watched them play with toys together all initiated on their own. Makes my mama heart absolutely melt and I can't wait to see that happen more often!<br />
<br />
She FINALLY doesn't scream when she's in the bathtub, due in large part to big brother helping to entertain her. Praises.<br />

She is a more serious baby than Holt was--he belly laughed all day long but we have to work pretty hard sometimes to get her to laugh. Although, I have to say the last 2-3 days she has literally just randomly started laughing and can't quit. Which is pretty gosh darn cute. <br />
<br />
She has cut TWO teeth this month! Things are moving much faster than her brother thank goodness. It took Holt over 2 months between his first tooth and second tooth. We will see how many more she gets between now and her birthday.<br />

She is still our little petite girl! She wears 6-9 month clothing, size 2 shoe (finally) and is still in size 2 diapers and size 3 at night.<br />
<br />
Routine:<br />
<br />

<b>Weight: </b>16 lbs. 5 oz (18th percentile)<br />
<b>Height: </b>27 inches (20th percentile)<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Favorites: </b>*mama *her brother *daddy *her food *walking with help *being held<br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping: </b>She has consistently slept through the night all month! All. the. praise. hands. She takes two naps a day: a shorter morning nap (usually 45 min-1 hour) at 9 AM and a longer afternoon nap (1.5-2 hours) at 1 PM. She goes to bed between 7-7:30pm depending on what time she wakes from her nap and sleeps til 6:30-6:45 the next morning. It's been fun to have her incorporated into the bedtime routine with Holt now! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Feeding: </b>She has significantly cut back on her formula. She only takes about 16-18 ounces a day now. Yay for formula cans lasting longer! And this girl doesn't mess around when it comes to food. So far she has loved anything and everything she tries. We are still having to watch dairy--no cheese or yogurt or milk, but I'm hoping that changes this month like it did with her brother. The good thing is she can have foods that contain dairy ingredients, like muffins or waffles. She still loves her peanut butter and now enjoys peanut butter sandwiches. I typically cut up or tear everything I give her into chunks or bite-sized pieces. It didn't take her long to figure out how to chew and she rarely gags which is nice. She also learned this month how to sign for "more please" and "all done" which is really helpful! Her favorite snacks are puffs and the Gerber fruit & veggie melts--her eyes get real big and she starts clapping her hands and saying "ooooo!" We also do pouches (I squeeze into a spoon for now although I'm trying to teach her to suck it out like a straw) and I buy the Stage 3 Gerber chicken and turkey baby foods to take out with us like to church or a friend's house. She also LOVES scrambled eggs and usually has at least one for breakfast, sometimes too. She has also tried and liked pasta (like her mama), ground turkey and beef, sweet peas, bbq chicken, carrots, green beans, and corn. She eats 3 meals a day and we split her bottles up--I tried doing 8 oz. twice a day but she usually doesn't take more than 4-6 oz at a time. She takes a bottle first thing in the morning, right after lunch, right after nap, and right before bed.<br />

*sat in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time<br />

She is still just my chill, laid-back, very social baby girl and is so happy all the time! I still whisper "thank you God" on a regular basis when I think back to the first 3 months of her little life and how hard they were. Thankful for a healthy, happy baby!<br />
<br />
Typical Schedule:<br />
<br />
6:45/7 AM wake up<br />
7/7:30AM 8 oz bottle<br />
8/8:30AM breakfast<br />
9AM nap<br />
11:30AM lunch<br />
12:30PM 8 oz bottle<br />
1:00PM nap<br />
4/5PM dinner<br />
6 PM bath (if needed), pj's, 8 oz bottle<br />
6:30/7PM bedtime<br />
<br />
In other news, we STILL have not broken any teeth! Poor thing. I think they keep moving up and down. For the most part she is still pretty happy, but she has her moments where I know her mouth is just killing her. Let's hope she doesn't teethe like her brother and only pop one tooth at a time.<br />
<br />
Also, she HATES baths. I'm talking hyperventilating, shaking, holding on to me for dear life, screaming-crying HATES them. We moved her to the laundry basket now that she sits up well, but even when we still used the baby bath she just doesn't like them. Which, lets be honest, 2nd baby--she doesn't get bathed every day. But it's still a huge struggle. We just try to make them as fast as possible and then calm her down afterwards.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Feeding: </b>We have switched feeding schedules and it has worked SO WELL. I think this is what has finally helped her start sleeping all night. She now has (3) 8 oz. bottles + 3 meals every day. We do a mixture of baby foods and soft table foods, but she seems to prefer to feed herself and therefore would much rather have table food. We also do puffs and we introduced peanut butter, which she LOVES. She loves it so much she cried huge crocodile tears when I put up the container the first time she tried it. Definitely my child. This is also helping her gain some weight--I'm not sure how much because we don't go back for a check up until next month, but she feels heavier. Grow girl grow!<br />

<br />
<b>Milestones: </b>I feel like this was a big month for milestones. She can pull-up on certain things. She can clap. She can say "mama" and KNOW she's talking about me. She has starting eating so much more.<br />
<br />
<b>Favorites: </b>*Holt--ANYTHING her brother does is hilarious, but she especially loves for him to play peek-a-boo with her *her bottles *Mama--she is definitely a mama's girl but her daddy tells me that will change ;) *people--she just loves to be in the middle of all the action! she doesn't like to be by herself for very long. she starts crying if she's by herself too long.<br />

<b>Sleeping: </b>Biggest news in this department is she in FINALLY sleeping through the night! She's only been doing that though for about a week. All through the holidays it was still rough and she was waking 2-3 times a night for a paci and wanting to eat about 5AM. But now that we have switched to our new schedule she rarely wakes up. Praises!! She is down to 2 naps a day and her morning nap is typically around 45 minutes but her afternoon nap is usually at least 1.5-2 hours. Yay!<br />

You bring so much joy to our home! You are such a happy baby and you just go with the flow--so helpful and such a blessing. You really only get upset when you're hungry or tired, or if you want to be picked up and we walk right by you. You light up a room and want to be right in the middle of all the action. You think anything your brother does is absolutely hilarious and you are my little cuddle bug. We love you to pieces and can't imagine our family without you. Can't wait to see what the next month holds! </div>

love, mama<br />

I remember at the beginning of January, mentally going through all the changes this year would bring. I thought to myself, "by the end of this year I'm going to have a 2 year old and a 7 month old" and HERE WE ARE. Sometimes I can't believe it's real. Like these aren't really MY kids, I'm not old enough! But sure enough, they are. And I love them so much it hurts. Don't get me wrong---it's not always rainbows and there have been PLENTY of hard, hard, hard days (case in point the first 3 months of Evie's life). But goodness, here we are with a 7 MONTH OLD and she is absolutely beautiful and healthy. Our motto for her is "tiny yet mighty" and it's so fitting. She may be petite, but she is a STRONG girl. <br />
<br />
Alright, enough being mushy. Here's what has been going on with our girl this month:<br />
<br />
*talk about crawling! she knows where she wants to go and she will do whatever it takes to get there. She is one determined little lady! And she is DESPERATELY trying to stand--I'll see her crawling on the floor one minute and the next she is in the downward dog (yoga) position with her feet flat on the floor and getting frustrated because she can't stand up. I'm thinking she's gonna be an early walker.<br />

<br />
<br />
*she still can't sit up on her own--I'm trying to work on it with her, but as soon as I start trying she immediately goes to crawl or to stand up. She is too busy to sit! oh well, it will happen eventually.<br />

<br />
*still in size 2 diapers and size 3 pampers baby dry at night<br />
<br />
*wears 3-6 month and 6 month clothes and she is barely starting to wear 0-6 month Livie & Luca shoes and baby moccasins<br />
<br />
*we tried food this month, and she wanted nothing to do with it! I thought for sure she would love it like Holt, but nope. she looked at it super skeptically and then just burst into tears! LOL<br />
we started with sweet potato, then tried avocado, then we tried baby food sweet peas. NADA. So, I waited a couple weeks and tried again with the sweet peas. lo and behold, she sort of liked it! And then I found the Plum Organics Little Yums teething biscuits and she LOVED those. We will see how she continues over the next month.<br />

<br />
*she has been teething HARD CORE. bless her little heart. she has had terrible poops that have given her blistering diaper rashes and you can just tell she hurts so bad. I even took her to the doctor thinking she had an ear infection because she was waking up multiple times at night and she was just grumpy all the time which is NOT like my daughter. no ear infection, just teething. we are hoping those teeth pop soon so she can start feeling better. <br />

*we celebrated her first Thanksgiving! it was such a great day! we went to my family's cabin, Sno-lic, and she was such a trooper. she was truly in her element--she loves to be around people and they all wanted to be around her! Holt was in his element too--exploring outside and helping all the men cook the meat. come to find out he loves deep fried pheasant and deer too (little mountain man LOL). It was chilly but we managed to get a couple of pictures.<br />

*we drove the kids around to look at Christmas lights. I LOVE the holidays and seeing it through the eyes of your kids is THAT much better! It's fun to start discovering what traditions we want to do as a family and this will definitely be one we continue to do! <br />

<br />
<b>Milestones: </b>*crawling *talking more and more *paying attention to little details (zippers, specks on the floor, necklaces, etc) *thinks her brother is HILARIOUS *teething *first Thanksgiving *she has started reaching for people---particularly daddy<br />
<br />
<b>Favorites: </b>*her daddy---if he walks by her and doesn't stop to say hi and/or pick her up she starts crying *she loves to chew on her little plastic spoons *the jumper *bouncing <br />
<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>Sometimes it's hard to NOT compare her sleeping habits to Holt's when he was her age. I have to remember she's a completely different baby but sometimes that is really hard! especially when I remember he was already sleeping through the night at this age...and she isn't. When everything is going good, she will sleep from 6:30PM-5:00AM before needing to eat and generally wakes up at least once in there for a paci. Then she eats 4 oz. at 5:00AM and then we put her back to sleep (because I don't want to get up then) and she'll sleep until 6:30-7AM. When that happens, I feel pretty rested (even though she has only slept the ENTIRE night without waking up only twice since she was born). However, lately things haven't been going good (thanks a lot teething) and she has been waking multiple times a night hurting or pooping or having bad gas. Last night for instance, starting at midnight she was up every 2 hours just hurting, having bad gas pains, and having diarrhea (gross I know). I am really hoping that amping up solids this next month and HOPEFULLY having her teeth pop through will remedy the situation and she will start sleeping 12 hours. Fingers crossed. It's starting to really take a toll on me. As far as naps go, she typically takes 2 naps a day. Every now and then, if she takes a super short nap in the morning, then I can bank on a pretty short nap in late afternoon to make up for it. But when things are going well, she takes (2) 1.5ish hour naps a day.<br />
<br />
<b>Feeding: </b>She eats 4 bottles during the day, all 6 oz., and then one 4 oz. bottle during the night. I'm hoping this month to completely get rid of the nighttime bottle--especially with her eating more solids, she really won't need it anymore. I have tried to give her a 7oz. bottle before bed in hopes it would help tide her over all night, but she always only eats the 6 oz. She finally warmed up to solids a little bit last week and has now had sweet pea puree, squash puree, banana, and teething biscuits. I'm hoping this next month we can introduce more veggies and fruits, possibly puffs, and maybe eggs and peanut butter. She seems to be a pretty slow mover in the food department though, so I'm not expecting too much.<br />
<br />

6 MONTHS. HALF A YEAR. 180 DAYS.<br />
<br />
I'm really not sure how we got here already. I mean, the first 3 months DRAGGED. I love my girl to pieces but boy those first months of reflux and colic and her just being upset all the time were AWFUL and I'm so glad we are beyond that. And then months 3-6 have just FLOWN. I feel like I've blinked and here we are! Granted, we have had A LOT happen for our family in the last 90 days, not to mention our girl is just this big ball of sweetness so time just seems to pass us right by.<br />
<br />
This last month has been wonderful! She started sleeping again (PRAISES) and we have made some adjustments to the schedule that I am starting to love. Plus, unless she is tired or hungry, she is just happy and chill. She is my little social butterfly and likes to be around all the action. Her FAVORITE thing is to bounce---don't you dare sit her down or you'll get a squeal of protest! She wants to be standing so she can just jump and jump and jump. If we had actual doorframes in the center of the house we would get her a Johnny Jump-Up. Instead, she settles for the stationary jumper, but she LOVES it.<br />

In other big news, she is crawling. Yes, already! She beat her brother by a good 2 weeks! Right now, it's slow and steady but I have no doubt she will get faster every day as she figures it out.<br />

She is technically sleeping all night. She goes from about 6:30PM-5AM before waking to eat. Sometimes she may cry out for a paci (and lately she has been pooping in the middle of the night) but she goes right back to sleep. Also, it is continuing to go GREAT for her to share a room with her brother! Once she eats at 5AM, we let her sleep in our room so that they can both sleep until they wake up. Sometimes, she doesn't really sleep well after eating, other times she does.<br />

Girlfriend has been teething up a storm! Still no teeth, but goodness I hope they're close. Every now and then I have to give Tylenol, but thankful for our amber teething necklace! She has run a low grade fever off and on and (TMI) but her poop has been nasty and giving her a diaper rash. I hope she doesn't teethe like her brother!<br />

Halloween 2016: major FAIL. Since we are trying to pack up our house, I accidentally packed up our costumes. And we didn't even take the kids Trick-or-Treating! Evie was asleep by 6:30pm and Holt by 7:30pm. Oh well. There's always next year.<br />

We got family pictures made! We were probably crazy for trying to do fall pictures with two kids 2 & under (not to mention it was 75 degrees, so not really fall weather) but SarahGrace Sharp did a GREAT job! I even made Christmas cards, which I haven't done in about 3 years. Goodness, I have some seriously beautiful kids!<br />

You LIGHT up our world! You are the most chill and relaxed baby now that we got through all your reflux issues and you LOVE to cuddle. I hope you keep that up :) You adore your big brother and he adores you just as much. You have started babbling and you'll just talk and talk and talk---especially when we put you in front of a mirror. You are just the sweetest thing and we can't imagine life without you baby girl. </div>

Let me start from the beginning:<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have felt for several months now that the Lord was preparing us to leave First Baptist Fort Smith. We had no idea what that looked like, but we were very prayerful that the Lord would prepare our hearts and to open the doors He wanted open. Back in May, before Evie was born, Daniel got a call from our regional Baptist Association guy (Sorry Jeff I don't know you're real title, LOL) saying he had given Daniel's name to a local pastor (Russ Tyler) who was looking for an Associate Pastor. He met with him over lunch and then didn't hear anything for a while, so we figured that was that. We continued on with our lives, adjusting to being a family of four and continued to pray. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fast forward to Labor Day weekend. Daniel got another call from Russ. He wanted to meet for lunch again on the Tuesday after Labor Day. We continued to pray, continued to ask the Lord to open doors He wanted open and to close the ones He didn't want for us. After meeting with him, Daniel called and with awe in his voice, told me that Russ had basically offered him the job--right there on the spot! We were in complete shock to say the least. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things progressed pretty quickly from there. Daniel went and had an official interview with the Personnel Team and the Finance Team. After that passed, Daniel had a meeting with the head pastor at FSFBC and informed him of his new job. They were genuinely excited for us in our next step and told Daniel how much they had appreciated having him on staff the last three and a half years. They even asked him to read an official resignation letter to the church to let them know. It was our sincere hope to leave on good terms and I truly believe we did that. Daniel's last day at work was October 20th and on October 23rd, we were officially voted in at First Southern Baptist Church in Central City.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Lord, in His loving kindness, has allowed us to stay here in Fort Smith! It wasn't His plan to move us far away and for that I am SO grateful. We get to stay here and continue the relationships we started and form new ones at our new church. We can hardly believe it! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But of course, we can't just do one major life change...we have to do at least two. We are trying to sell our house and move closer to FSBC. Right now it is a 30 minute drive (one way) from our house in Van Buren. We would really like to move into East Fort Smith so we can drastically reduce our drive time. It has been a pain in the rear to get our house ready over these last 2 months, but we finally got it listed last Friday! If you know of anyone looking for a GREAT house in a wonderful neighborhood, send them our way! The sooner we can move the better! </div>

<br />
We have never taken Holt to the zoo. *shameful I know* So, since last weekend was basically the PERFECT weather weekend, we kidnapped our best friends and took them along for our quick getaway to the Tulsa Zoo.<br />
<br />
The Tulsa Zoo is only about 1.5 hour drive or so and admission is very reasonable! It was $10 for adults and kids under age 3 got in free. *score* So we packed ourselves a picnic lunch and plenty of snacks, made a quick pit stop for donuts (obviously) and headed that way! We arrived about 10AM, which ended up being perfect. It wasn't too crowded yet, still a little chill in the air from the cooler temps the previous night, and it gave us a couple of hours to explore until the littles started asking for lunch.<br />
<br />
Holt really seemed to enjoy it! And of course he loved it all the more because his best friends, Lorna and Letty, were there too. Even though Holt loved the animals, I'm pretty sure his favorite thing was playing at the park inside the zoo. So, basically we paid $20 to play at the park with a few elephants and giraffe sightings sprinkled in, but hey it was worth it.<br />
<br />
Evie was a trooper! She rode in the stroller quite a bit and even took a little snooze snuggled up next to me in the Baby K'Tan wrap. Eventually, once it got past nap time, both kids started getting cranky and whiny and it was definitely time to hit the road. But I consider it a huge win that we made it about 4 hours with a two year old and a 5-month old.<br />
<br />
Overall, it was a super fun experience (made even more fun because our bestest friends came with) and I would love to go back! Maybe next year!<br />
<br />
And now the moment we've all been waiting for, the photo dump:<br />

<br />
I'm not gonna lie. This last month was ROUGH. It's amazing how so much can happen and change in 30 days.<br />
<br />
She was still our super sweet, happy girl during the day but then at night she hit the dreaded 4-month sleep regression. Y'ALL. She slept worse than she did as a newborn! We FINALLY decided to move her out of our room and into Holt's room (more on that in a minute) because she was sleeping much better and we weren't as nervous about her reflux anymore. And wouldn't you know, THAT'S when she decided, "hey! I think I'll get everyone up every 1-2 hours all night long!" Literally, we would put her to bed at 8-8:30PM and by 11/11:30 she would start waking up--not necessarily screaming upset every time--every 1-2 hours ALL NIGHT. Holt never really went through this so I was completely unprepared and had no idea it could last so long! She did this for right at 4 weeks. I have never been so exhausted in my entire life!<br />
<br />
Back to the room sharing though. I LOVE IT. The first 2-3 nights were a little rough while they both adjusted (Holt would wake up anytime Evie cried and vice versa) but after that, they both became better sleepers and nothing really phases them anymore. It is fantastic! So, if you're on the fence about whether or not to have your kiddos share a room---I HIGHLY recommend it! It's not as hard as it sounds and they adjust much, much faster than you would anticipate.<br />
<br />
In other news this month:<br />
<br />
*I started BSF for the year and I take Holt and Evie with me. LOVE Bible Study Fellowship! Especially their children's program! This year we are studying the book of John and it has been amazing so far.<br />
<br />
*Daniel went to a conference out of state, so we packed up and went to my parent's house. My first road trip by myself with both kids and it went remarkably well! They both did well in the car, we took Holt to the Razorback game in Little Rock, and I left Evie with a babysitter for the first time.<br />

*Our Evie girl figured out how to roll from her back to her belly this month! This also could've contributed to the less sleeping at night. Now she's just a rolling machine!<br />

*She has started teething. Holt started showing signs at this age too but didn't actually get a tooth until about 7 months. She started getting cranky, low grade fever, drooling like crazy, etc...so I put the amber necklace on her just to see. It dramatically helped with the drooling and some with the pain too.<br />

<b>Feeding: </b>She eats about 6 times a day and eats 5 oz. every feeding. She went through a growth spurt and was at 6 oz. a feeding, but has since gone back down to 5 oz. She eats every 3 hours during the day and once during the night. She loves her bottles! I keep trying to teach her how to hold it herself but she is not interested--she would rather hold onto my finger (melt my heart). We don't plan to start solids with her until she is at least 6 months old.<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>As I said earlier...TERRIBLE. AWFUL. HORRIBLE. But, a few days before she turned 5 months, she all of a sudden started sleeping again! Now she only wakes up a couple times a night--usually once for a paci, and once to eat. She dropped her evening nap so now we put her down to sleep about 7PM and she sleeps til 7AM. She normally eats around the vicinity of 4AM, is awake for maybe 15-20 minutes, and then goes right back to sleep. She still takes 3 naps a day--one will usually be a pretty good 1.5-2 hours and the others will only be about 45 minutes.<br />
