Baby #3 Growth Update

I had my third scan of the baby yesterday to check on the growth and the baby's stomach is back to measuring small again (it's in the 7th percetile and they would like it to be in the 10th or more). Because of this they are going to start having me go in twice a week (starting next week) for NST (non-stress-test) scans to make sure me and baby are doing ok. The blood flow to the cord still looks good and the baby is measuring at an estimated 2lbs 15oz. Baby is currently breech but I'm not too worried about that just yet as we do have time for the baby to flip.

Here are some pics from the baby scan in November that I never posted and a few from yesterday:

 Baby all curled up

 Baby's legs crossed nice and tight, so we couldn't even see the gender if we wanted too! haha

And for fun, here is a pic of me from earlier this week when I turned 30 weeks :)


I'll update more if things change/happen. Hopefully nothing happens for a while though!

November Pictures

After downloading and reviewing pictures, I realized that this month (November) I really didn't take many pics, oops! All is well with us though. Kids are growing, in fact in just 19 days Rose will be 2yrs old! I still can't believe it! Isaac will 4 in almost 2 months, and my belly is getting bigger and bigger… currently 28 weeks pregnant, I have finally hit the third trimester! Woohoo!

The only thing really new lately is that we took advantage of this loooong Thanksgiving weekend and have moved Rose out of her crib and into Isaac's room, where she now sleeps on the bottom bunk. The first night went horrible, but the following two nights have not been bad and she even naps in there as well for up to hours 2 again! (For the past month her naps have been 45-60minutes only and she was waking up a ton at night. Now she just wakes up once and thats it. I wonder if she was hitting the sides of her crib and it was waking her…).

Here are the pics that I have gathered. Some first half are from my phone camera and the rest are from the regular camera.

From the Phone camera:
 Playing on the steps

 Making faces at the dinner table

 Silly girl

 Whatta cutie!

 Passed out on the couch one day after not sleeping well the night before

 He was so proud of his pile of books he created 

 Me and Rosie

 Making sure she gets every last drop of soup!

 At the LEGO exhibit 

 Riding the goose!

 I was watching a few extra kids one day. It was crazy fun!

 Boys playing with the castle while the only girl watches cartoons lol

 Me and Isaac

 My crazy kids

 I asked if she was making tea and she said it was ketchup, then proceeded to "drink" it. Glad its as all pretend!
 Don't let them fool you… they were only pretending to sleep!

 Helping me dust… though Rose thought Isaac could use dusting as well I guess haha

 Rose fusing the shelves

 Isaac dusting the books

 Mowing the lawn is dangerous, must wear a helmet at all times

 They were pretending they were going to the North Pole to see Santa and wanted to dress the part haha



Matt and Isaac went to Home Depot and came back with this…. It's pretty awesome!


Pictures from the camera. First set are from Bellow's Beach, where we attending a birthday party. The second set are from today (Nov 30th) where we went to an even called Snacks with Santa. 

 In the water as soon as we get there. This kid loves the ocean!

 Matt taking him out a bit further

 Isaac body surfing on Matt haha

 Waiting for a wave to come by so he can body surf on his own

 Rose with me on the beach. She's still unsure about the ocean and pretty much sticks to playing in the sand.

 She wanted to wear her life vest like Isaac was. She kept toppling over though haha

 Isaac body surfing while Matt watches nearby

 Rose got to hit the TARDIS piƱata first! 

 Hit it hard, Rosie!

Isaac's turn!

 Isaac is all ready to go see Santa!

Rose all dressed up to see Santa! 
(She was mad at me in this pic because I took away her paci)

 Waiting in line to see Santa!

 Cuties!

 I grabbed some of the fake presents for a photo op haha

 Poor Isaac was really wanting to unwrap his! 

 Isaac hugging Santa! Rose kind of ignored him the whole time haha



 Finally got one of Rose looking at the camera!


 Isaac telling him what he really wants for Christmas… a Switch-n-Go Dino!

 Santa tried to ask Rose what she wanted, but she was still ignore him haha. 

This picture makes me crack up! Rose looking somewhere else, Isaac making that face, and Santa looking straight at the camera. Love it!


Pregnancy update
As I said in the beginning I am finally in my third trimester! Just three short months to go! I did have another ultrasound done of the baby two weeks ago to check on the growth of his/her belly, and everything is great! Infact, there is no issues whatsoever at this point. I do go back in two weeks for one more ultrasound, just incase though. I have more ultrasounds to share from the last visit but Rose messed up our scanner and we haven't been able to scan them in yet haha. Will post them when I can!

That's it for now! Tomorrow is December first (though I guess since it's past midnight, it already is the 1st, oops), which means our Elf on the Shelf, Reggie, starts visiting us again! Stay tuned for lots of Christmas fun this month!

Isaac and Rose's Christmas "Wish list" 2013

It's that time of year again where it's getting closer and closer to Christmas and gift ideas are being requested. I have been working on their "wish list" for a month or so now (I use the term loosely, as it's really stuff that I've been picking out as suggestions/ideas for them on what they think they would like or need. They've really not asked for anything specific, except for Isaac who finally found a toy he really wants Santa to get him) and it's finally time to post it for family/friends who would like to get the kids something.

Like last year, I am using Pinterest to house their lists at. It makes it easier to visually see the items and it can link you straight to where you can buy it online if necessary.

Isaac's Pinterest Wish List Link:

Rose's Pinterest Wish List lLink:
http://www.pinterest.com/careeblack/christmas-birthday-wish-list-for-rose/

Make sure to check these every once in a while as I do add things occasionally if something new comes out I think they would like.

Since we live in Hawaii, it may be easier to have me buy the stuff so there isn't huge shipping costs. I am going to list below what I know FOR SURE they are getting. Anything else in their list are purely suggestions/ideas. If anyone reading this is going to get the kids anything, first of all thank you :) secondly, please let me know (via comment, text, email, etc…) what it will be so I can try and eliminate duplicates. We haven't finished shopping for them ourselves (especially for Rose) so I may pick out a few other things not listed as it gets closer to Christmas.

Gifts they are for sure getting:

In each stocking:
toothbrush
underwear
bandaids
stuffed animal (Lamby and Stuffy)
M&M's/candy
Flute/recorder (from Grandma Lucy)

From Santa
Rose - Tinker-bell and Fairies doll set and Tinkerbell movie (Secret of the Wings)
Isaac - Planes movie and the green Switch and Go Dino
Combo - Fisher Price basketball hoop for outside

From Mom and Dad
Rose - still deciding!
Isaac - Black and Decker toy tool set (already bought), Dusty Plane toy (already bought)


For Rose's Birthday:
My Pal Violet

Again, thank you to any and all who are planning on getting our kids gifts :) It's not required or necessary, but very appreciated.
