What a lucky 4 1/2 month evolving baby Swaine

Okay, so here is another months growth! I am feeling the baby kick now and I love it! This morning, Baby Swaine #3's brother Luke had his 4 year old physical. All is wonderful with our 54 lbs., 44 inches tall boy! However, he did get 5 immunizations. Not so fun for him, but he did make it through. To the tune of a vanilla cookie and a Spiderman sticker. He immediately ate the cookie, but then he put the sticker on my belly telling me that he wanted his baby to have it. How this little man of mine can melt my heart. So, so sweet!

Loving God and loving people.

Yesterday I was reminded again of God's goodness. I had just returned home from taking Madeline and Luke to preschool when my phone rang. A girlfriend of mine was calling me to check up on another girlfriend of mine because she thought she may be in some trouble. I know this doesn't seem like maybe anything huge to any of you, but it was such a simple act of kindness that I was left with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat(yeah, yeah, I'm pregnant).

Honestly, I am so grateful to know that God is leading me down a path that is filled with people who simply love God and love people. I love my friends dearly and love how they love God. Thank you.

She has finally gone Bananas...

So, as some of you may know, Bobby and I have been doing some home improvements around our house. Well as one side of our house is coming closer to completion, I am down to the little touches like the fun of decorating. I had a great idea for a 4 photo picture frame. I wanted to put photos of my family members from their wedding days in it. Off to Walgreen's to reformat and black and white some photos...I walked all the way into the store, to the scanner, and proceeded to put my banana on the scanner. Yep, I said my banana on the scanner. Only when I tried to put the lid down did I actually realize what I had done.

I am sharing this story with all my faithful readers because I can only imagine that you all already love me no matter my little "slips"(yes, sometimes on banana peels!) here and there! I am somewhat concerned though seeing as how I do still have 5 months to go with this pregnancy...what next? Ha!

Stay tuned for future "slips" in the life of seriously "pregnant brained" Jody.

Three and 3/4 month baby bump...

I had forgotten how much fun this was. I love morphing into this capsule that can grow a human being. It is totally overwhelming for me. Amazing, that all this comes from a simple "jar of clay."

Now, I will start praying to continue enjoying this "growing capsule" as I attempt to put her into a swimming suit...HeHe!

Show Mama those "Pearly Whites!"

Today, it's official. The entire Swaine Family all know Doc Willey. I have taken Madeline since she turned 3, but have been hesitant with taking Luke...hmmm! Seeing as he is now a big 4 year old, I knew it was time. So one call to Grammy and off we went. Thank you so much Grammy for going with us, it was a huge help. Luke and Madeline did so well. Madeline went first to show her brother how it worked. This was the first time she sat in the chair all by herself. My babies are growing and becoming so brave.

Baby boy turns 4!

I am daily amazed at how time flies! I remember driving to Bartow to meet our newest baby as if it were yesterday and then a few weeks ago planning his 4th Birthday party. Wow! Bobby and I have been blessed by Luke, he is sweet, charming, and ALL boy. I once saw a cute sign that read,"Boy(boi)n. 1.Noise with dirt on it" and that definitely defines our Luke. However, even with all the Boy, we couldn't imagine one second without him.


Happy 4th Birthday Luke!
