Pumpkin Patch

Presley and I met our friends Jenny, Logan and Ethan at the pumpkin patch today. While there were not as many pumpkins as we were expecting, they had tons of playground equipment and houses made of hay for the kids to play on. We even got to have a picnic lunch.  Presley was worn out when we left 3 hours later! 

 I was so surprised, but Presley was trying to touch one of the goats!

Baby David

I had another ultrasound yesterday and Baby David is looking great!! He is BIG... measuring 7lbs, 3oz!! Keep in mind, Presley was 7lbs, 6oz at birth and I still have 3 weeks to go. Not sure how I feel about a possible 9-10lb baby, but we'll just hope for the best!

He is moving like crazy, every doctor I see comments about his constant kicking and pushing. He's definitely getting pretty cramped in there. Right now, he is still head down and basically folded in half, bless his heart.  My heartburn seems to be getting worse and I am just really not sleeping at night. Turns out, he has a full head of hair! You could see it moving in the ultrasound.  Can't wait to see what it looks like in person.  I am getting very anxious to meet him!!

Kristin's Wedding

This weekend, we got to go to Atlanta to celebrate one of my best friends's wedding, Kristin! I am so excited for Dave and Kristin and their new life.  Thankfully, Lea and David were able to keep Presley for the weekend so Cameron and I could enjoy one last getaway and I could hang out with all my friends. It was a lot of fun!! It was a little tough being 36 weeks pregnant, but I'm so glad I was able to make it and that it was close to the house.

Here's all our husbands at the Rehearsal Dinner

 Kristin had a trolley for the bridesmaids to take us to the church for pictures and the ceremony. 

It was really fun!!

 Kristin and her awesome mom, Sheila, arranged breakfast for us at the salon the morning of the wedding. It was nice to get to spend so much time with all my best friends... We don't get to see each other as much as we would like between our 9 kids!! My legs are starting to swell pretty bad these days so I was taking a break to prop them up at the salon.

Presley had a fun weekend! She spent Friday with Grandmom, Charelette and Caden at the science center in Birmingham. She touched a spider and a few other reptiles. I was shocked that she actually touched the animals, but she loved it. Here are her and Caden playing hide and seek under the dining room table at Lea and David's house.

Since I am now 36 weeks, we are definitely putting the final touches on baby David's room and getting everything ready. I am starting to slow down when I walk and breathing heavier than normal. It's all starting to catch up with me I think, but I am so excited to see him soon!!

Singing

Presley learned "God Our Father" at school. It's so precious to me to hear her sing!!

Presley's Big Girl Bed

Last Friday, we moved Presley to a big girl bed!! We have been talking about this transition pretty much all summer. It took a while to decide what size bed we wanted to move her to and whether or not we were going to switch her room. We moved her to our old guest room and kept the crib in her old room for Baby David to inherit.

I got all her clothes moved into the new closet and dresser earlier that week. Then, when Cameron got back from South Carolina Friday, he set up her bed, moved the other furniture and hung all her pictures and shelves. It looks really cute and I'm so proud of what a big girl she has become.

I was so worried about her getting out of the bed to play or wandering through the house at night, but she has done so well! She hasn't gotten out once!! I caught her reaching from the bed to her dresser one time, but that has been it. She looks so tiny in this big bed!

*On a sidenote, we have started braiding her hair daily because her clips kept falling out at school. Presley calls them her "parades." It cracks me up and something I will always remember her saying... it's so sweet and innocent.

Here is her big girl bedroom!

Since we moved her, I've been working on Baby David's room. I just love his bedding and colors!

I'll be 36 weeks on Friday. This child is already so much more active than Presley ever was! We were sitting in church yesterday and you can just watch his movements through my belly. It's so funny to think he already seems to have such personality! I've been having lots of trouble sleeping - mostly due to his constant movements and the heartburn that has returned. I'm so anxious to meet him, though!! Not too much longer!

Kristin's Bachelorette Weekend

I got to sneak away to the beach again this summer to celebrate Kristin's Bachelorette party with all my best friends from college!! We had a great time! It was so nice to spend all day on the beach reading, catching up with everyone and relaxing. We don't all get to meet up often anymore, but it's so much fun when we do! Can't wait for the wedding this weekend!

(I mean, who wouldn't want a 34 week pregnant lady at their bachelorette party...)

Labor Day Weekend Part 1

We had such a good start to our Labor Day weekend. We drove up to Birmingham Thursday night. Friday, we met Charelette and Caden at a bounce house to play. Thankfully, Cameron had the day off so he was able to chase Presley around while I took pictures and watched them play. I definitely don't think I have the energy for a bounce house anymore. The kids had a great time!

Then, that night we went to Cameron's uncle's wedding in downtown Birmingham. I was a little nervous that Presley was going to behave and be quiet during the ceremony. She was great!! We pretty much fed her and Caden the whole time and they were both very good the whole ceremony.

Caden giving Presley a kiss on her cheek and she was making him work for it.


Presley and Caden had a ball dancing!! Presley skipped eating her cake to dance, so that really shows you how much fun she was having.

Today, Cameron woke us up at 6:30 to head to Auburn for the opening game. It was Presley's first time to go to an Auburn football game. She had a really good time. She loved watching the eagle fly and Aubie. We had to leave at halftime cause it was definitely a little too hot for me. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad we finally got to take her to a game!
