Gymnastics!

The boys started gymnastics two weeks ago and they are both really loving it! Rowan wanted to do it months ago, but it was the beginning of me feeling like crap so I thought it was better to let them watch tv while I laid on the couch! ;)




I think Eli might actually listen better than Rowan in the the class. We started Rowan in a different class and then realized just how bad his lack of coordination really is so moved him down a class. I didn't know what the difference was, but it's now obvious he's in the right class. That first was pretty humorous for me though! :)



There classes are one after the other so they have to wait for 45 mins for the other ( since they have the same teacher).
Luckily there is some things for Eli to do while waiting, otherwise it would be a very long 45 mins!

Wonderful Winter

We've had a very mild winter this year. It's been great! Last year it was awful so I am totally ok with this. We had some snow a few weeks ago, I don't think it was more than a couple inches and I'm thinking it was melted within 2 days ( yeah I really can't remember at all). Of course the boys were so excited and had to rush outside in the morning!






Right after Christmas we had a little bit of snow and the boys were just as excited! I think they even went out in their jammies this day!








Of course a lot of this winter has looked more like this:






I like it! :)

Projects

I got a new sewing machine for christmas. Of course, I've only used it once and have been trying to knit again. It has put me in the mood to do some more crafty projects though and I have tons pinned on pinterest. Now I just have to actually do them!




I made the banner above the boys window with my new machine. I love it and want to make more!




I knitted Eli a scarf! It's the first time I've actually followed a pattern and not messed it up! :)







I've been wanting to paint my boring white lampshades in our room for a while. I really wanted to use my paisly craft stamp on it but it didn't really work so I went with this. It's alright, I'll give it a few weeks to see if I can live with all the little mistakes or if I need to just buy new ones....

Pregnancy

My pregnancy with Rowan was a breeze. No morning sickness no other annoying symptoms. I had a period of insomnia, but since I didn't have any kids yet I could easily take a nap after work or on the weekends.

With Eli I had some morning sickness, lots of tiredness and of course gestational diabetes. I managed though, I went to bed with Rowan at 8pm every night. I was also basically in a diet for 9 months, which sucked BUT helped me not gain an insane amount of weight!

This pregnancy I had lots of morning sickness, tiredness, and just feeling like basic crap every time I moved off the couch. The beginning basically sucked!

Of course, now I'm feeling mostly normal but I've learned something- each pregnancy gets worse and worse. So if we hadn't already decided this would be the last I think the thought if another pregnancy where I felt even worse than this one would be enough for me to say "I'm done!". How do people have more and more kids? I don't get it....

It's a BOY!!! :).

We really weren't surprised. Mike has two brothers as well, so the odds were looking good that we'd have 3 boys. 3 boys! Wow! Sounds like a crazy fun life, right? ;)
