Baby shower

So a couple of my friends got together and threw a baby shower for me. I got lots of great things, and really good pictures. These are from May 19th! Will continue to update all the pics I have been slacking on today!

I got a new camera so I was playing around with it, Kinz was the only staying close
She was crying

So there are those for now, I will get the Paris pics up later, but for now have to get going, running errands today!! How fun!!

Slacker

Ok so I am a total slacker and have TONS of photos to add. I am not going to get to them today, but wanted to post for those who I told would be available, that they WILL be coming!!

I have pictures from my baby shower, playtime in the park, and PARIS!! Tons of pics and some of the cutest pics of the kids!! So please check back later this week and they should be there!!!

Pregnancy update

Hey all, not a lot to report today but had an OB appt today and wanted to send an update to all those who might be interested!

I had to do my 1 hr glucose test last week, and my results came back high, so I get to go in for a 3 hr glucose test Friday. Those suck, for those that have had them you understand, for those that haven't all it is, is I have to fast after supper the night before and the morning of. I go in, they draw my blood, I drink the sugar stuff, then over the next 3 hrs they draw my blood once an hour. Then (my favorite part) I get to go eat!!!
My dr is also worried because I am measuring big. Your fundal height is supposed to be about 1 cm per wk you are along. I am 30 wks, but measuring 35 cm, so I am measuring more like 35 wks, which can also be an indication of gest. diabetes. So she suggested I go ahead and start a diabetic diet (ugh! no more breads and pastas for me!) and we will see how the follow-up test goes! Which I will update again next week when I hear the results!

As far as the other kids go, they are both growing very well. We had a WIC appt last week, and both kids had a growth spurt. Charlie was 25% in weight, 50% in height, and Kinzie was 10-15% in height, below the chart in weight BUT they aren't worried because she has stayed on the same curve for quite a while now, lucky girl just takes after her daddy!
Course they are both talking up a storm, and talking back already! My friend Kellie insists that Kinz is 1 going on 16! I have to agree!

We are slowly counting down the days til Mike leaves (or rather WE leave!) I know for the KS folks its a happy occasion, but we (*I*) have mixed feelings about it. Just glad he's going someplace safe again, wish it was after the baby was due though :(

On a happy note, a couple girl friends and I are going to PARIS!!! I am soo excited as this will be my 1st REAL adventure since living in Germany for THREE YEARS NOW! We are taking a bus tour, which is very structured (and what we felt we needed, we aren't brave enough or READY to take on Paris on our own yet!) and pretty inexpensive. We leave bright and early at 1:15 in the morning on Sat 24 May, and arrive back home sometime late Sat night or early Sunday morning. I will DEFINITLEY have pictures to post after that!! One of our stops is the Eiffel Tower, so I should get some good ones!!

Anyway, just wanted to update, since I have some faithful readers now!!!! Hope y'all have a great week!

Pool play!

So we went to the pool twice last week, the kids just love it so much! We have been having great weather so we actually got to go OUTSIDE. That's where we have the most fun! Our 2nd day of going we went with Mary and Blayne and we got some good pics!

Kinz climbing around the fountain at the baby pool!

Taking a break
Kinz headed to the big pool.
Charlie by the fountain, they wouldn't both stand there together
Climbing UP the slide
Sliding down and 'bowling for Kinz'
Outside at the pool, its heated, SO NICE
Charlie's favorite thing, he walks off the seating ledge and goes under
Then grabs the side and pulls himself up!
Kinzie is trying to eat the locker key I have attached to my strap, I 'forgot' the paci.
Me pushing her to the ledge.
Kinz in Blayne's car, she loved it so much, she got one this weekend.
All the kids in the bigger toddler/kid pool
That boat is actually the pool's.
Tired out after swimming
He spins round and round, til he can't stay awake, lays down and passes out.

Snack time right after nap time! She wouldn't smile for Mary cause Mary wouldn't feed her.

Ok, so there are some new pics, I might update this blog more often if I knew people were actually reading it! To leave comments all you have to do is 'register' your current email address with google, you don't have to get a new one. OR you can just send me an email every now and then saying, hey I read the blog, cute pics! munson_mjcm@yahoo.com if any of you know family members that might want to check it out, go ahead and send them the link!!

It's been a week!

So I was going to add some new pics but the picture loader is being difficult and will only let me add 1 at a time instead of the usual 5. As I am being impatient today, they will have to wait. However the main picture I wanted to show was of the kids sitting together in the chair, which I added as my profile pic so you can see it anyway.
They didn't sit there together very long, and most of the time Kinzie was crying, as she was in the chair 1st and didn't think she should have to share! But I got one decent picture so that's all that matters.
We have made it to the end of wk 1 w/o the boys. Charlie hasn't even asked about the boys. I am shocked! He has briefly mentioned 'Jose and Louie are at school' but that has been about it. It has helped that him and Kinzie are now getting into playing with each other. It's fun to watch them chase each other around the house.
Other than that, not much is going on here. We've all been sick since the boys left. Hopefully this week we will all get better so we can enjoy our last 2 months together.
