January 2013 - UPDATES!!

Holy Smokes... it's been quite a while.

I'll use the old excuse that "life has gotten away from me"... although for me I think it applies more to an explanation than an excuse :)

To start off the wonderful rambling and updates... YES I am pregnant... YES again... LOL. No one on this earth was more surprised by that than I was. And no - not even Seth was as surprised.

If you know me, you know that I am very open about my infertility issues. After facing the thousands of hours in waiting rooms, hundreds of self injected shots, and a plethora of people I didn't know in places I didn't want them - I can honestly tell you I was the most shocked to find that, three months after our littlest babies were born, I was pregnant again.

We are happily expecting baby number 7 in March 2013 :) SHE is doing well and bouncing around like none of my other kiddos have! She's super active and I can't wait to meet her.

Now onto my kiddos at home with me...

Angel is almost 14... yeah... can you believe it. I can still remember snuggling her before bed, singing to her (what we did every single night until she was about 8), holding her thinking "I can't imagine her at 10"... now I can't imagine her at 20. She is active in her coop and active in her love for anything and all things beauty product oriented. I wish I had a quarter of her makeup savvy growing up... I wish I had it now!!

Munchie turned 2 in Sept. and he is an active little booger! He is loving his siblings and with some on on the move, we are encouraging him to share his toys. It's not really going anywhere at this point though, as his new thing to do is place the Rubbermaid container over what ever his sisters are going after at the time and sit on the box...... Sharing obviously doesn't come naturally. We have him in morning preschool 2 days a week and he is loving it. I am loving watching him grow and learn.

As for all the quads, they will be 10 months old on Sat. Their adjusted age is 7 months (born 3 months early, they adjust their age for development). That's pretty much where the similarities end.

A has a quiet nature and observes everything going on around her. Don't get me wrong - she can talk up a storm, but only in the right mood and to certain people. She is one of our best eaters, as she will eat a jar of baby food in a sitting and enjoys most of it. She has light hair and has {finally} grown into her BIG blue/green eyes. She is our littlest weighing in at just over 12.5lbs. 

B is a pip... She is army crawling to anything that looks like she shouldn't have it - And she's quick! She doesn't talk a lot, unless Daddy is home and then it's all smiles! She LOVES her Daddy. B hates any food that even looks like it came in a jar and will only eat self fed food... the other night she thoroughly enjoyed the pork chops and fried rice I made. She is about 16.5 lbs and has dark dark hair and brown eyes.

X is a boy through and through. He is big and round and happy and jolly. Our heaviest weighing in at 17.5 lbs he surely has the personality to back it up. He is an observer and rolls around to get where he wants, but is much more content on his back playing with his toes. He is a great eater and loves his jar food. Munchie loves him and constantly is doing something silly to make him smile - or climbing all over him to give him hugs :)

C is the baby of the family {for now} and takes full advantage of it. She can be the happiest smiling baby and then instantly break into full on baby heartbreak cry because maybe her sister (usually B) might steal her toy. She has 2 teeth on the bottom and is our only with teeth right now. She loves her bottle still and is not interested in any solid food. We're trying... she will just sit in her highchair and stare you down... eyebrows raised and all!! She rolls to anywhere and everywhere she wants to get to. She is our second smallest, weighing almost 14lbs - she is long and lean. C takes after me and has brown eyes and no hair {I was a bald baby for a loooong time}.

Baby number 7... has no name yet. We just can't pin one down that jumps out at us and feels right. At 30 weeks though, we had better step it up. I am scheduled to go in on 3/18, but am fighting to change that as (A) I don't think I will last that long and (B) it is the day before the quads' bday. We'll see though. As you can tell by whatever time stamp shows up on the post, I am facing yet another loosing battle with Pregnancy Insomnia.... YARG. Other than that though - as long as I keep moving - I feel great :)

Just to throw it out there... I miss all my friends that I now no longer see from MOPS and COOP and life in general  <3 I think about you all everyday...

Alright - off to see if I can coax myself to sleep for a  few hours before daytime life begins again :)

XOXO
