Baby Bump-date Week 27

Sep 25, 2010 by

Well I have completed 27 weeks of pregnancy, which means I am officially in my last trimester! We are in the home stretch, 13 weeks (or less) to go!

For those who don’t know Andrew was born 16 days before his due date and Joshua was born 21 days before his….it will be fun to see when Zachary decides to come! I know that each delivery is as different as each pregnancy but do I hope that he decides to come on his own sometime on or before his due date!

Baby Zachary is over 2 pounds and about 15 inches long. Sometime between weeks 27 and 28 his eyelids will be able to open for the first time! He will also be able to tell a difference between light and dark. He moves a lot more consistently these days and I noticed that a few days ago when we were at the beach he moved almost the entire time, he must enjoy the sound of the waves :-)

I still feel like I am in the enjoyable stage of pregnancy before I get too big and awkward. I have tried to intentionally stay more active this pregnancy and I can definitely tell a difference in my ability to keep up with the boys, hopefully that will pay off during delivery and recovery as well! At the end of the day I am tired but don’t feel as if I’ve been hit by a truck :-) Although one day this week Spencer was asking me to dig for something in a drawer under the front seat of the van and I said, “I can’t lean over like that!” haha!

I felt like an overachiever and took two pictures this week! :-)

And the boys think it’s funny when I do these self-portraits and so they wanted in on the action!

And just for fun I happen to have pictures from both of my other pregnancies at 27 weeks as well, so for comparison – Andrew at 27 weeks

Hope everyone has a happy weekend!

Baby Bump-date Week 16

Jul 14, 2010 by

Right now baby Blunden #3 is the size of an avocado! He/she is even growing toenails :-) Two weeks from today is the big ultrasound to make sure baby looks healthy and hopefully see if Andrew and Joshua are getting a little “brudder” or “thither!”

I have been feeling pretty good although I don’t feel like I really have my second trimester energy yet. With both boys I was fairly sick from weeks 7-13 and then BAM I felt fine and could have run a marathon everyday I had so much energy. Maybe it’s waiting for the third trimester this time :)

So far I have gained 5 pounds. I am still wearing most of my regular clothes, some are getting a little snug but maternity is still too big. I can remember with Andrew being so excited to start wearing maternity clothes but now I know what those last few weeks are like when you can’t wait to be back in your normal clothes….so I’ll hold of as long as I can!

I could list you everything I am craving but that’s a post all it’s own! Let’s just say that most everything sounds good!

Here I am at 16 weeks and a few days!

Birthday Bash

Mar 3, 2010 by

Yesterday I celebrated the big 2-4! I share my birthday with my father-in-law and cousin-in-law! March 1st is a popular day!

Saturday we celebrated with Spencer’s family. My mother-in-law made an awesome dinner, we had crabcakes for appetizers, steak, salad and potatoes for dinner and chocolate cake for dessert. Mmmm! I got cute new pajamas, flip flops and….shopping money! Woo hoo!

Here are some pictures from the night.

Yesterday, on my actual birthday I spent the day with some great friends, Erin and Jessica and their little ones, Payton and Easton. When I first came to Florida the first girl I connected with was Erin. She and her husband, Steve were friends with Spencer and Steve was the Student Ministries pastor at our church. My friendship with Erin comes so naturally, we can always just pick up where we left off. They moved away shortly after Spencer and I were married but luckily for me her parents still live in Florida and we always try to meet up when she comes for a visit! I met Jessica through Erin and she lives about halfway between me and Erin’s parents, so we met at her house! These are two beautiful women and I wish we all lived closer! You can check out Erin’s blog here and Jessica’s blog here!

We spent the morning letting our kids play and talking about anything and everything!

Andrew and Miss Payton on their first date! Ha!

Today my friend, Mandy took me to lunch to celebrate. I didn’t get any pictures because we were wrestling 3 little monkeys the whole time! We ended up moving the party to her house because there was no way to sit and visit and keep all the boys entertained. We always chuckle at how much our lives have changed in the last couple years! She was so sweet to treat me to lunch and get me a cute new top and some pretty lip gloss!

Spencer and I have yet to really celebrate, I think we might get to go out this Friday. But he did give me a sweet card and Beth Moore’s new book, So Long Insecurity. I mentioned that I wanted to read it and he picked up on my hints :-) I also got a new closet, but that’s a whole other post!

I had a wonderful birthday with lots of friends and family!

Florida vs FSU

Dec 2, 2009 by

Saturday, November 29 Spencer and I had the opportunity to join 90,905 other fans at The Swamp for Tim Tebow’s last home game. It was so much fun! We played in-state rivals, Florida State, and I am glad to say that we beat them 37-10!


DSCN7571

The whole drive up and the whole time we were there, I just kept thinking how exciting game day is. Thinking of all the fans with all their team gear, tailgate equipment and fans trying to get last minute tickets…there’s just something really electrifying about being in the stadium cheering on your team.

If you look close you will see Tim Tebow taking the field for the last time at his home stadium.

I don’t think I can say enough about Tim Tebow and what an awesome example we think he is for young people, his teammates and all Florida fans. He has such integrity and character. He gives God the glory for his success and uses his popularity as a platform to share his faith.

DSCN7578

Tebow is known for his eyeblack and many fans sported some in honor of his last game. Our whole group jumped on the bandwagon! We were able to enjoy the game with some wonderful company, Spencer’s brother, Travis and his g/f Claire (next to us) as well as Spencer’s awesome cousin Sarah and her hubby Kevin! (below us)

DSCN7581

I know that there has been some controversy over the scriptures that Tebow writes on his eyeblack every week, but I think it is an awesome way for him to share his faith and get people into the Word. On January 8, 2009, for the National Championship Game, he wrote John 3:16, which reads, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.” That day there were 94 million searches on Google for John 3:16…..94 MILLION!!! It was the number one search on Google that day. I don’t know about you, but that is what I call spreading the good news! This website lists all of the scriptures that he has used so far this season.

We were so thankful to Spencer’s parents for keeping our boys so we could get away for the whole day and to Travis and Claire for getting us awesome tickets to a great game!
