Baby's Birthday

I planed my c-section date last Dr. visit. So, this baby is to be born on July 26 at 12:30 p.m. We still don't have a name for the little guy yet but we are working on it. I'm excited to see my little boy and be the sole person living in my body.

Thankful

This last week has just been so crazy. As I told you before out dryer and our TV broke but not only that our computer broke that week too. Allen tripped over the cord and the screen busted. So, around that time the pregnancy hormones kicked in and the poor mess came on pretty strong. I took a bath and said a prayer and not even about 5 minutes later my friend Jamie called. She said I heard your TV broke and we just had this one sitting on the office floor. Would you like to use it? Amazing, yes we would love to use it. My crying also inspired Kevin that morning and he decided to call the place we bought the dryer and they told him how to get the part out that they thought it was and to bring it in. He did so with ease and it turned out not even to be the heater coil like we had thought. It was the thermostat and a fuse. It only cost us $40 and Kevin did all the work himself. So, that was two blessings right in a row. I was starting to feel a bit better about things by then but still not great because we don't have the $ right now for a new computer. I called my mother just to get rid of some stress about the whole thing. She always seems to be able to up lift me somehow. I got off the phone with her and started to count my blessings again but a little more thankfully this time. And just a couple of hours later my mother called back (she is on vacation by the way. She isn't even home this weekend). She says Corrine we have 3 computers at our house why don't you go and take the one that is in the kitchen. I was floored. What no, I can't just take your computer. She says yes you can. As I said I have 3. We love you and Dad and I talked about it and we want you to have it. At that point I couldn't even believe what had just happened. All week I stressed because I had no clue how we were going to replace these 3 expensive items in our house and all of them just came to us because of the good in other people. I really can't deny the Lord's hand in this and how thankful I am for such wonderful people who would be willing to give up so much for me. I don't think I deserve these very special blessings but I'm so grateful for them.

Fun Weekend

Grandpa and Grandma Meagher came over this last weekend. It was a whole lot of fun. Sadly it rained half the time but I think we did okay. They always spoil us when they come which is really appreciated. Allen, got some real golf clubs and got to go to the driving range with Grandpa and Dad. He was the happiest kid on earth. I was told he did pretty good too. Also the boys got new bunk beds which they adore. Carter had a hard time letting go of his toddler bed for just one minute. But when he saw what he was going to get to sleep in he decided it was okay and even helped Dad carry the old bed to the garage for storage. The boys have been happy little clams with their new exciting items. On the down side though that weekend our dryer broke. It decided to just stop heating. And the day Kevin's parents left the T.V. also quit. Sadly I have realized how much I rely on these things. Of course it had to happen at the end of the month when we don't get payed till the first weekend in the month. So, we just have to suck it up and live with out them for a week or so. My mother (bless her heart) took all my laundry home and washed it for me so we would still have clean clothes to put on for the week. So, I suppose we are not that bad off then. Well, that was out eventful weekend.

Allen, doing some amazing Tiger Woods swing. He's got all the talent and non of the girl problems. After Grandma and Grandpa left Carter had Dad make him a little fort. But he was so tired he decided to curl up and sleep on it instead. So cute.

T-ball

We are all super excited for T-ball to start. This will be Allen's first year and he absolutely can't wait. Kevin is going to be his coach this year so we got to get all the equiptment to play with. When Kevin walked in the door with all the team stuff, the kids had to try it all out. We had lots of fun and are really looking forword to their first practice. Batting practice in the house. I don't really know what to think about this but it was just so cute. I don't know how we are going to break it to Carter that he can't play this year. He always wants to do everything Allen does. So, wish us lots of luck this year. We hope their team does well.

Fun at the Grandparents

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Tuletts house to play the other weekend and had a blast. The boys love to play in there back yard and I love it because they are fenced in.
The boys did a lot of running through the sprinkler while us grown ups got to lounge in the sun and chat. Carter wouldn't really run through the sprinkler, but he had fun telling Allen to do so.
Well and that's the end of that exciting adventure to Grandma and Grandpa Tulett's house.

Oops!

Well just to keep you all informed, mother's day was great. My boys got me flowers, Chocolate, and a dress they picked out all by themselves. And not that I would have guessed. I love it! It fits and everything. I thought it was pretty amazing and thoughtful since I don't seem to be fitting into any of my church clothes these days. This baby really likes to just hang out there. But I only have 12 more weeks left. Really not even that because of the c-section. Yeah!! Another thing we are getting ready for around here is Allen being out of school for the summer. His last day of school is May 27th and it is coming up fast. I'm not sure that any of us are prepared for what that day will bring. A whole lot of Allen. We plan to have a lot of fun though. Also I decided to cut the boys hair this week because Allen has school pictures on Monday. Well, Allen's cut went fine and Carter's went great as well. In fact he was doing better then he has ever done before at sitting still. So, I was taking my time and doing a little better of a job. It was all going splendid until Kevin walked up and Carter turned his head sharply. I had the shortest setting on the clippers and was just doing around his neck and when he moved and off went half his hair! So, I had to get creative and nothing was working so as you can see he ended up with a funny little mohawk. Now we call him Puck (you know the guy off Glee). Poor little Carter he didn't really know what to think when I showed him in the mirror. Well, that's what's going on in our little house.

Update

As you can tell I haven't been so into blogging lately. I can't quite put my finger on why but I just haven't. So I will give you as much updates as possible right now. The pregnancy is going pretty well. I have been sicker with this one then the others but all and all it's been tolerable. I'm not one of those glowing pregnant ladies that is so happy to be pregnant and thinks the world is just great. Sharing my body with someone else is not my idea of a good time. It would be great if I could have all the babies in the world and not have to have them myself. I suppose I'm more of the glowing new mom then the glowing pregnant lady. I'm 26 weeks along and apparently my baby is the size of an eggplant. I don't have a scanner so you won't be seeing the little guy's ultrasound pictures. But I must say he is a cute little blob. In other news Allen has just signed up for kindergarten and thinks he will be going as soon as preschool is over. The whole thought of summer is killing him. He just can't wait. Carter is starting to say a lot more things lately. Although he would still rather have Allen do all the talking for him. Which Allen thinks is a great idea too. Other than that we have just been doing a lot of everyday stuff going to the park, playing in the yard, visiting with friends and so on. The sun has been coming out a lot more lately and when it does, it is pretty warm so we were able to do some water fun in the back yard. Here are some pictures of that and I think for the most part you are caught up with us.

We put the sprinkler under the trampoline and let the boys go. They were a little hesitant at first but then really got into it.

All time favorite letting the sprinkler spray you in the face. Crazy boys.

Carter playing in the water on the trampoline. So fun!


More sprinkler in the face.
