Kids and Such

In effort to talk about something other than me. Here are a few pictures of the other members of the family.

Here Seer is doing what she loves best.  Being outside and exploring new things with Daddy of course.

 Here Seer is kissing Daddy.

I know the picture is cut off, but I couldn't have captured her beautiful smile better.  She lights up a room!

With Daddy not around as much, Kaiden has found alternative "boy" things to do like painting his sister's toenails.

And her fingers of course.  He is an artist after all.  Notice the 3 colors he is using.

Month 7 Squashy Joshie

Baby is the Size of a Squash

Well we are now officially at 29 weeks.  I have 6 more weeks until I have another ultrasound to see if the previa has dissipated so I can have a normal delivery.  I'm pretty confident that it has, but please still keep us in your prayers.  I am continuing to have some back pain from the kidney issues but thanks to my mom-in-law and her sister I have some great herbs that are helping with that issue.


The baby is moving a ton.  I feel her all day long (yes I'm accepting that she is a she).  I get worried because sometimes she moves so fast and jittery that it feels like bouncy jello or something.  Not the usual kick that I'm used to.  I'm telling myself its hiccups or something but I'm still a little worried about it.


I am now consistently getting comments that "You look pregnant now," "You've gotten a lot bigger," and "You can't hide it anymore."  Which is very true.  From 6-7 months I've really shot out and I'm convinced that I'm the biggest I've been with all my pregnancies at this stage, but my memory is not that great at all.  Josh laughs at me as if I've never done this before.  By the time I get to this stage my maternity shirts seem to have shrunk in the dryer so when I actually need them to cover my belly they creep up which McKenna gets a laugh out of seeing.  Seer as always, loves to crawl all around and on me.  Her elbow jabs and feet in my belly aren't so cute anymore.  I've been trying to tell her there is a baby in there, but she just giggles.  She is very loving with her baby dolls so I think she will be a great big sister. Kaiden and McKenna are becoming better siblings everyday and I am so grateful to have their help each day with playing with Seer, feeding her, or taking her outside with them once in a while.  They really are great kids.


The business is in full swing now.  I think the average person would be insane by now and its funny to think I've been through this before with JE Illusions.  I can't believe at the age of 31 we're doing this all over again.  This business is different, more challenging, and I'm really looking forward to seeing its progress in the next 6 months.  We've invested everything into it and I'm confident in Josh that we'll be just fine.  He is working 16 hour days again.  Working at the shop until late evening and then planning, website details, etc. until bedtime.  Its really hard but I remember this from before so that makes it a little more bearable.  We had a toddler and a newborn with JE Illusions so this scenario is about the same as we'll have with Royalty Core.  I work a little here and there, but Josh has been very kind in giving me space to handle being pregnant with a toddler at home.  I'm basically the support system trying to keep Josh from falling asleep standing up.  The website is live now, but not operable, hopefully in a few weeks it will have progressed a lot and products will be made  and ready to sell.  Josh is currently at a week long training in Washington on his OMAX waterjet cutting machine.  He says he's caught up to the guys that have previous training already and he's enjoying it.


So that's it for this month.  Hope everyone is doing well.
