Girl Mom: Only My Meggie

It's been forever since I've written a Girl Mom post! Being a mom to three girls is a bit of a challenge, and I like to highlight the highs and the lows! I keep it pretty real, and I hope you appreciate the honesty! I think in our day and age we like to sugarcoat everything! I like to blend the good and the bad in hopes that we will all feel normal and not alone! You can read all of my Girl Mom posts here.

In February, I shared an update on my youngest daughter, Adalyn.

In January, Gretchen turned 7, and I did an update on her in this post. 

This month, I'm updating on my middle- Megan.

Megan turns 4 at the end of May! It feels like yesterday, when I was left behind in Indiana with just Gretchen, and we were waiting on Megan's arrival. (When I was 6 months pregnant, DJ got a job at TU, and moved while I finished out the school year and my pregnancy- we had such good insurance that it was worth a few months apart.) Thankfully, my doctor's agreed to induction, so Megan's arrival wasn't a surprise. DJ and our parents were able to be at her birth. You can read her birth story here. And two weeks later, we made our move to Tulsa and began life as a family of 4. The transition was the most challenging of all. Going from a family of 3, then to just Gretchen and me, and then to a family of 4 was nothing short of crazy!

Thankfully, we've adjusted well! And those times are fond memories that I never want to re-experience- ha!

Megan's personality surprises me every single day. I never know what kind of mood she will be in for the day. Sometimes, I feel like I'm just treading the waters with her before fully diving in. 

Megan is a mommy. She idolizes her big sister and she takes care of her little sister. Megan has always loved playing with baby dolls; she happily pushes them around in a stroller, carries them in her backpack, and sleeps with one every night. During nap time at school, she takes all of her babies, lays them around her cot, and puts them all to sleep. I wish so badly that I can see her do this! 

On more than one occasion, she asks to change Adalyn's diaper and attempts to do it by herself! Thankfully, as Addy gets bigger, Megan's not so anxious to change her little sisters diapers!

 Megan loves taking a baby to school or in the car with her. 

Megan loves to laugh! She is the funniest little girl I have ever met! While Gretchen is serious, Megan is hilarious. She loves to smile and trick us! The other day, she was telling Gretchen that at preschool she sang "Shake It Off", Doc McStuffin's songs, and Sofia songs. Megan kept going on and on with her story, even when Gretchen became a bit jealous of the fun she had had that day! 

Megan loves to make up little stories like this! She'll only tell you the truth, when you tell her that you'll ask her teacher, or if she says she's cleaned up her room, and you tell her you're going to go look. Then, she's pretty adamant that you do NOT talk to her teacher and do NOT look in her room!

We continue to have a hard time putting Megan to bed each night. When she's at school, she takes a nap, which really interferes with her falling asleep. On the weekends, we skip her nap, and she almost always falls right to sleep. When we got back from our spring break trip, she was having a really hard time falling asleep and she'd almost always end up in our bed at night. It seems to be resolving itself as she's outside more and wearing herself out by playing, and she's only in our bed every other night. 

DJ tucks her in each night and reads to her from a children's Bible book. They read one story each night and they've gotten pretty far! She then says her prayers with him and then I come in later to give her a kiss, and she gives me the biggest, tightest hug. She won't let me miss coming in her room. Believe me, I've tried! If I try to skip or I come in later than she wants, then she gets up so I have to put her back in her bed. 

 

Megan's pretty sneaky! Around Christmas, we started having food disappear. It took us a while to find the food hidden in her top nightstand drawer! I now check it often and I don't typically find food in there anymore! She probably has a new hiding spot that we haven't found! 

This year at school, Megan has really come out of her shell! Last year was not her best preschool year. She had a hard time adjusting, but this year, she has the best teacher! At the beginning of the year, poor girl could barely count to 10, and now she's counting way past that, even though it's still out of order. She knows all of her letters, colors, shapes, and she can write her name and lots of other letters too! The amount she has learned this year floors me! 

In my head, I thought that Megan would be behind, and I'm still concerned about it, but only because I don't have the time to work with her like I did her big sister. That's been pretty hard on me to leave her education up to school, rather than doing a lot of it myself and teaching her myself, but it's also been one of those let go and let be things. I know in the end, she'll turn out okay and she'll learn what she needs to even if the pace isn't as fast as her sister. 

We have fun learning in other ways now- singing songs, reading books, coloring. Now, it's all about easy, natural learning!

Megan is not your usual girly-girl! Sometimes she insists that she's a boy just for the fun of it! She wants to wear socks with her shoes (even her sandals) and in the winter she insists on leggings and t-shirts. She doesn't prefer jeans, unless DJ tells her that all of her leggings are dirty. She is cold almost all of the time. She'll wear a jacket when it's 80 degrees outside. This girl definitely has her own fashion sense! 

When we went to Disney World, we signed the big girls up for Bippiti Boppiti Boutique and I was shocked at how much Megan enjoyed being spoiled! She loves getting her nails painted at home, and she totally ate up the attention at BBB.

I was super surprised at how well she sat to get her hair fixed. She hates having her hair brushed at home, so most days it's in a pony tail, little bun, or pigtails. 

Megan has never had her hair cut before. Again, this is another reason that I was shocked at how well she sat for BBB and how much she enjoyed getting pampered. We plan on getting her hair cut in the next month or so, although I'm going to miss her baby curls so much! 

Megan is super shy at first! Like, I tell people how shy she is and that she's slow to warm up and she doesn't like change. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to explain to people, and they never believe me! 

Megan's personality is crazy outgoing, but only when she's comfortable in the situation. It took us about two months to get her adjusted to going to preschool again (since we take the summers off), She doesn't like to talk to strangers, and even family members that we don't see often, she's uncomfortable around. 

She thrives on routine and consistency. The days that her teacher is gone from school, are pretty rough. She's fine if she comes in early, but if she comes in late and the substitute is there, then she's not happy. Thankfully, her teacher now gives her warnings, and it's helped so much!

She hates loud noises. She use to be terrified of blow dryers in public restrooms and motorcycles, but she's coming around. She still doesn't like fire trucks or if our smoke detector accidentally goes off when we're cooking. 

This girl is my world (along with her sisters). I was honestly terrified to have a "middle" child. I don't ever want her to feel left out or alone or forgotten about. Thankfully, she's adjusted pretty well and we are crazy about her!

WIWW, Bows, and Kids Sleeping on the Floor

Can I get a "Woot, Woot" for Wednesday y'all!

Today means we are half way done with the week, and a little bit closer to the weekend, and y'all, i'm so excited for this weekend because the weather is going to be fantabulous, yes, that's a word, and my girls are having their pictures made by the very talented Madison Vining.

On to what I wore.....

I NEVER would have pulled this look together without my friend Pinterest. I found a pin of a super tall and skinny and gorgeous girl wearing a navy midi skirt, a simple long sleeve tee, and a scarf.

I've worn this skirt before with a chambray top, but I really liked the idea of wearing a comfy tee.

My navy and green stripe skirt is from Old Navy, my brown tee is from Target, and i've had these gold wedges forever.

I nixed the scarf just because.

This is what I wore last weekend in Denver.

I wore my skinny jeans, a Loft grey ruffled shirt, and my puffer vest. I actually had my puffer vest off most of the day, but I kept it with me for the plane ride and at night.

Monday was jeans day, and I totally realize that I need lipstick in this picture. Sometimes I just forget to reapply mid day.

My navy tank is from Loft as is my brown sweater.

I paired with a long gold necklace, skinny jeans, and red ballet flats for a pop of color.

I linked up with The Pleated Poppy for WIWW, Get Your Pretty On, and Because Shanna Said So!

Now on to a few hair goodies!

I mentioned before, that my girls have pictures scheduled on Saturday night, and i've been working all week on getting their headbands made. Fair warning, they're going to be huge and over the top!

I have only made one small singed flower before, and I've been dying to start making them, and getting their pictures made was the perfect excuse! Here's a sneak peek at an unfinished flower!

And, of course I've been working on your Frozen hair bows!

And, because I couldn't resist.

Here are a few pictures of my big girls sleeping on the floor.

Not quite so sure why we ever invested in beds.

Have a great day lovelies!

My Girls....

I had planned to have this post written for Friday and I totally ran out of time. That seems to be happening a lot as we near the end of the school year, and as we approach summer. Our lives begin to be hectic, and over scheduled and we're just constantly swimming to stay afloat.

 

That being said, I want to pause for a minute and remember my girls, just as they are today, because they are growing up so fast. 

Gretchen Rose is now 6 years old. 6 years and 3 months to be exact. She is all girl. She loves princesses, dresses, and hair bows. Well, honestly, she'd wear a tiara rather than a bow if I let her. She is almost finished with her first year of kindergarten and I cannot believe how much she has learned! She is reading at a first grade level, knows all of her kinergarten sight words, knows my phone number, can count by 5s and 10s, and is able to tell time to the hour, and can identify money.

 

Her favorite things right now are Frozen and Princess Sofia. She can sing every single song from Frozen and can act out the movie. She wants to be an actress.

 

She is finally becoming a big help around the house. She puts away all of her laundry that goes in her dresser, and finally cleans up her room without too much complaining.

 

She loves riding the bus to school, and her favorite colors are pink and purple.

 

She is the best big sister and plays so well with Megan. She rides her bike with training wheels, but prefers riding on her scooter instead. She loves to draw, and she's pretty crafty. Right now, she's making loom bracelets out of their pony tail holders, and I finally bought her a few bands of her own that she could use.

 

She has a little boyfriend at school, and they play soccer together on Monday evenings. They play together most days at school, but she also has a few good girl friends.

 

Gretchen is kind and helpful and caring, but she's also sassy and argumentative. I think she'll make a great lawyer one day!

Megan Claire is full of mischief. She continues to make us laugh every day, all while making us want to pull out our hair! I cannot believe that she will be three at the end of May! I still see her as just turning two, and I still pinch myself that she's not the little baby that I still believe she is.

 

She's shy and timid, but she's also brave and daring. She has so many personalities all wrapped up in her little self that it's shockingly hilarious.

 

She's potty trained during the day, still wears a pull up at night, and most nights it is dry, but not always. She has a horrible time going to sleep, but over the last few weeks, it's better. We have a little routine of DJ and I both tucking her by saying her parayers, and then I stay and count to 10 with her and then we sing a few songs including the "AB,D's", Jesus Loves Me, and the moon song. Often times she crawls in bed with DJ and I. In fact, we started a sticker chart to encourage her to stay in bed, and she could care less. In three weeks, she has earned 4 stickers. And she doesn't care to earn more.

 

DJ takes her to daycare every day, and he reports that she runs in, but then gets shy right at her classroom door. Her best friend is Harper, and she blames everything on Harper.

 

She enjoys playing with babies and her big sister. She also believes that her little sister belongs to her, and i'm pretty sure she'd 100% try to take care of Adalyn if I let her.

 

Supposedly, she eats great at school, but she's not the best eater at home.

 

She says Me for I, knows her colors most of the time, and counts out of order to 10. She doesn't know any of her letters or their sounds, which just tells me how different she and Gretchen are, because by age 3, Gretchen was so smart with her letters and their sounds, and with counting! 

 

Megan is a daddy's girl and still loves to cuddle. She's also whiney and emotionally, she's more fragile than Gretchen was.

 

We probably let her get away with more than she should. She makes us laugh every single day.

Adalyn Pearl is 9 1/2 months old. She is finally crawling on all fours (as of last Thursday 4/24). She weighs all of 15 lbs and is not even on the growth chart for her age. She is long and skinny.

 

She nurses or takes a bottle 4-5 times a day, and is now eating baby food and small finger foods 3 times a day.

 

She naps wonderfully at home, but not at daycare. Her naps are just awful at daycare.

 

She is happy most of the time, and is more happy now that she can crawl and move around! She enjoys putting everything in her mouth, and loves to suck her thumb.

 

She is babbling and talking, and loves to be tickled near her chest and neck. She has the best belly laughs and squeels.

 

She has two bottom teeth.

 

Over the weekend she was able to pull up to standing, but my mom didn't get a picture and DJ and I weren't there to see it, so i'm going to pretend that it didn't really happen!

 

Because she has been tryign to pull up, DJ finally moved her crib down to it's lowest level.

 

She's in size 3 diapers, but wears cloth diapers at daycare.

 

She wears 6 or 9 month clothing and often goes barefoot. We lost the only pair of shoes that fit her, and her feet are so long and skinny that the other shoes we have don't stay on well.

 

She sleeps with her ballerina baby doll every single night and looks for it as soon as she lays down in her crib at night.

 

She's a mommy's girl and hates when mommy puts her down. She often wants to be held.

These little girls are my blessing. They are my gift from God, and I am so thankful for each of them!

5 on Friday!

Happy Friday! Usually, I'm so excited for the weekend, and don't get me wrong, I really am excited, I just don't feel like it should be Friday. With two snow days earlier this week, and a sick day at home with Megan, my week is just totally thrown off. 

So, here's a little 5 on Friday for you, even though it doesn't feel like Friday!

#fastestweekever

1.) Megan dressed herself on Wednesday when we were home for her sick day. She loves to get dressed! She must get that from her daddy, because i'm 100% happy to stay in my pajamas all day long.  She begged to get dressed and instantly asked for her "frog shirt". She had on matching leggings, but had an accident, and so she dressed herself in sparkly leggings, heart shorts, and snow boots. 

2.) I remembered to take a picture for next week's WIWW! Yay me! I bought this scarf in January and I just love it. It's like a comfy warm blanket wrapped around my neck. 

3.) Miss Addy getting her bath Thursday night!

4.) Thursday night was parent-teacher conferences at my school. DJ and I had a great little plan figured out, but this little girl through a huge kink in it! She has been running a fever off and on this week. We went ahead and sent her to daycare on Thursday. Yes, we were totally those parents. At 5:30, I got a phone call that Megan was running a 104 temperature. I called DJ and he was already on his way to pick up the girls. I called our pediatrician and they let me know that 105 is the point of concern. DJ decided that he wanted to take Megan to the doctor anyway. My principal's at work were so understanding and let me leave to get the other girls so DJ could take Megan to the doctor. Because daycare had given her tylenol, her temperature was reduced to 99. The doctor's best guess is that she has a viral infection. Remember, last week when Adalyn had a mysterious rash? Well, we're kind of thinking that Megan picked up that viral infection, whatever it was, and now i'm thinking that we'll see a rash on Megan in a few days. If not, then who knows what viral infection Megan has. The doctor was concerned with how Megan's lip had been healing, since she bit it so severely on Saturday, that he gave her an antibiotic for her lip. The downside, is that her antibiotic can cause diarrhea. 

When I was talking to my school principals tonight, I told them that I didn't know whether to cry or laugh. I'm just so thankful that i'm in a position with women that understand what motherhood entails. I'm just so over our family being sick.

5.) Gretchen had Read Across America/Dr. Seuss week at school. Wednesday was "Wacky Wednesday" and this was her outfit of choice. 

Oh my! Y'all have a great weekend lovelies!

Super Crazy Fantabulous Past Few Days

Well, y'all, it's been a week! Or a weekend, or whatever. Let me just say that i'm so glad that we had snow and ice yesterday and I get one more day off! 

I'm not going to be so excited now that we will be heading into another week in June at the end of this school year, thus delaying my summer plans, but for the moment, I'm sort of glad that I have another day. My "to-do list" was only about 1/2 accomplished this weekend!

I didn't blog on Friday, since I was at a continuing education conference, so we have a lot of catching up to do! 

Let's get started. Shall we?

Wednesday night we decided to go out to eat. That's what happens when we forget to get something out of the freezer and I'm too lazy to cook. 

I picked up the little girls from daycare, went by the house to get Gretchen, fed Addy, and then we went to the restaurant to get a table. DJ met us there, and I was so thankful when he finally walked through the door! Megan was throwing a few fits, Gretchen blew her straw paper across the table, I was trying to feed Addy her baby food, and she was screaming most of the time through it, and it was just crazy. So crazy, in fact, that the people who were going to be seated behind us asked to be moved! I wish I was kidding. I wanted to go sit at their table. 

That evening, Megan started throwing up. I started regretting the fact that I didn't have a margarita at dinner. 

DJ stayed home with Megan on Thursday until two. I've taken about 6 "sick days" already this year, and I'm pretty sure that if my principals could fire me, they would. I left work around 2 to pick Megan up from DJ's office, and she fell asleep in the car on the way to get Adalyn from daycare. 

Bless her little heart.

Thankfully, her little tummy bug was short lived and that evening the girls and I made brownies for DJ.

This is the best part of baking!

Now that I'm a mommy, I have to share the spoon. That's love y'all. 

Friday I had a continuing education conference at TU. DJ and I met for lunch and that night we took the girls back to their daycare for a parent's night out.

Here's Addy and I before we left the house! She was ready for bed!

And DJ and I after we dropped the girls off. We were so excited for a kid free date night!

We started off the night by going to David's Bridal, so I could order my bridesmaid's dress for a wedding this summer. Then we went to Hobby Lobby, and Best Buy. We may or may not have bought a ridiculously large t.v. 

We didn't have time for dinner, so we went to Sonic.

I decided that the perfect ending to my date night would be a peanut butter cup blast and an order of mozzarella sticks.

I was right. It was the perfect ending.

And yes, we did buy that ridiculously big t.v.

When I tucked G in that night, she asked me to sleep with her. I told her that I would, but when I went upstairs, I had no idea where I'd fit! 

Sometimes, you just have to sleep with a bunch of toys to make your daughter happy.

On Saturday morning, DJ and G watched The Little Mermaid in 3-D on our new t.v.

Ridiculous. I told you!

Megan got dressed and chose her bows herself. She was telling me that her tongue was dirty and wanted me to take a picture of her dirty tongue. 

That morning, I took the girls to the post office and to Verizon, and the plan was to go to Target afterward, but one big girl kept throwing tantrums, and this mama told her that if she continued to throw a fit, that we'd head home and skip Target. And, i'm not one to go back on my promises so that's what we did. 

After lunch and a failed attempt at naps, DJ and I re-arranged his office.

Then, we almost rushed Megan to the ER.

While we were in the office, Megan literally tripped over her own feet, fell into a chair and bit a huge chunk out of her bottom lip. 

I called our neighbor to watch Gretchen, and then I called a good friend to see what the best ER would be to take Megan to. She let me know that her husband, a nurse & fireman, was working at the fire station by our house, and suggested that we take her there first so he could get a look. He and the other ER nurse that was on call at the station, said that it wouldn't be worth it to take her in. The anesthesia to put her to sleep for just one stitch wouldn't be worth it, since she didn't bite through her lip. Plus, Megan was already FREAKING OUT, so we decided to take her home, and give her a popsicle to help numb her lip.

She later fell asleep on the couch around 6 pm, so Gretchen and I finally went to Target. Megan was still asleep when we got home, and woke up right around bedtime. I know that's good timing on our part. So, she stayed up and watched a movie with DJ and me.

This is her at 10:30 when the movie was finally over and she finally went to bed. 

When we woke up on Sunday, it was snowing and sleeting, so we stayed home from church. We watched Brave and Peter Pan, and then I turned on cheerleading.

Naturally, Gretchen decided she wanted to be a cheerleader, so she went upstairs and put on her bathing suit, and grabbed her pom poms. I know, don't all cheerleaders cheer in their swimsuits. 

Despite the snow, DJ took the big girls to the TU basketball game and I got to hang out with this cutie:

Scroll back above and you may just notice that she's wearing the same pajamas as she was on Friday night. And, I assure you, I didn't do laundry. Just keeping it real y'all. 

Okay, so here's the office re-do: 

We moved his desk over in the corner, switched a few tables around, moved a bookcase, and hung his 49ers helmet on the wall with his 49ers pictures. 

We also organized the filing cabinets, but that's boring, and we re-organized his football memorabilia on the bookcase. 

I hope your weekend was just as thrilling as mine! Come back tomorrow, because I have a NEW blog post series that is starting and i'm so excited about it!
