Mommy Post: 38 Weeks

 
Mommy: Well, here I am at 38 weeks of pregnancy, just last Tuesday, March 19.
 
 
And here I am at 38 weeks, 2 days and 12 hours of pregnancy... accompanied by our newest addition: Kyra Joanne, born 3/22/13 at 12:25am, weighing 5 lbs, 13 oz, our littlest ever. 
 

 Like her sisters and her mother, Kyra has "the toe," an odd little trait that I've passed on to my gaggle of daughters - a way that ties them uniquely to me.
 

 
Thank you to everyone for all of the well wishes... Chloe and Amber, Mommy, and Daddy are all thrilled to welcome Kyra to our family.

Gymnastics!

 Chloe: This was so awesome!!!  We had a great time celebrating Sophia's birthday at her gymnastics party!  I have been ready to do gymnastics ever since McKenna came into my life!  This was so cool!

Amber: It WAS really awesome.  I was kind of overwhelmed at first, but I really got into it, too.

 Amber: And, really, it's about time that I got to go to a birthday party.  Mommy can be such a dictator, as I may have mentioned.

 Chloe: I just loved it.  I learned so much in such a short time; I'm practically a professional gymnast.

 Chloe: I mean, LOOK at this forward roll.  NEVER HAD ONE SINGLE LESSON.

 Amber: I especially liked the jumping!  Jumping is awesome!!!

Chloe: Happy Birthday, Sophia!

Amber: And thanks for inviting us!

Princesses Gone International

Chloe: So Aunt Diane already knows that we are totally princesses.

Amber (quietly): Well, you are.

Chloe: What was that?

Amber: Nothing, darling, continue.

Chloe (glares): But thanks to her, we are now THAI Princesses!  I am filled with the desire to dance!

Amber: Of course you are.

In unison: THANK YOU, AUNT DIANE!

Let's Bowl, Let's Bowl, Let's Rock and Roll


Chloe: I had SO MUCH FUN on Saturday! 

I was so excited to get to wish Julianna a happy birthday and have fun with her, Joy, Cauley, and a whole bunch of new friends at the bowling alley.


I have never been bowling before, but with mad skills like these, it's no wonder that Julianna's mommy gave me a medal WITH MY NAME ENGRAVED IN IT!

Oh, how I treasure it!

 See the lane with the blue-green ball knocking down pins?  Evidence of mad skills.

 In between frames, the girls and I had a great time hanging out and playing games.  We ate pizza and snacks and I loved the fondant bowling pins on top of the cake.  Julianna's mommy said that if my mommy ate any of it, it would send her into early labor!  YUM.  I LOVE SUGAR.


Julianna, thank you so much for inviting me to your party!  I hope you had a great day!!

Amber: It looks fun.  I would have liked to go, but Mommy is a fascist dictator.

Chloe: Yeah, it sucks about that.
