The First Week Plus More Pregnancy Notes...

Well, bad idea to start blogging again on the first week of school!! We were so busy!! But I'd like to keep on a roll- so here goes...

I can't believe it my sweet girl is already in First Grade -I feel like she has been waiting for this year for her whole life!! She is always so happy to go back to school in the fall~ she loves school and that makes her teacher mommy so happy!! :)


Francie is in Mrs. Sims class













First grade has desks!! ;)












Will at his big first grader desk!! ;)













FLASHBACK.... Francie going into K4 :)




Well Will is in FIFTH GRADE!! OMG!!! Next year he will be a middle schooler!! That just breaks my heart!! He's so grownie!! This year is going to be so great for him though!! They change classes and he will be in the band!! :) He is more excited now that school has actually started!! Poor thing though, he ended up with strep and has missed three days!! Boo!!





*****Pregnacy Notes*****

I'm Baaack!!

***First post of the year and the year is over halfway over! ;)

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to blogging, I promise I have a good excuse!! But before I get on with life I want to go back and post some of the notes I took on my phone during my pregnancy and the first couple of months of Viv's life!! I want to be sure that I have all of these little details -it's the most I have ever journaled during pregnancy. I didn't do any with Will and Francie, hardly even took pictures! Now that I am older and wiser ;) I want to keep all these details in my heart- I don't want to forget the miracle and blessing that is motherhood!

Ten Random Pregnancy Things
1. I am tired ALL the time!
2. I started my IVs and so far everything has gone well!
3. I forget everything all the time - I cannot focus!
4. I am extremely emotional during this pregnancy - a big crybaby!!
5. I am also clutzy! I have fallen twice and scared myself to death!
6. My sweet tooth has returned with a vengeance!
7. I have already bought Vivi some sweet tiny outfits! Can't wait to dress her up!
8. So far no indigestion!! I'm happy about that!
9. I am sad I don't want Mexican while I'm prego! I kind of miss it- but it just doesn't really sound good!
10. I am trying to keep better records about this pregnancy- it has actually been kind of fun!

100 Days...

I can't believe I have made it this far!! It hasn't been without issues, of course, but God is good and I'm trying not to worry myself to death!! I don't want the enemy to steal my joy and keep me living in fear! I want to enjoy this time~ I am extremely thankful and grateful to have another baby Cvacho in our family!!

I just want to keep a record of all of these milestones!! I probably won't do this every week, but every one will be better than I did with Will or Francie! I think there is only one picture of me pregnant with Will! It will be fun to look back in a few or more years and see what exactly was going on in our lives!! :) Here goes....

*Size of Baby: 3 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 ounces~ the size of a lemon

*Gender: ????

*Maternity Clothes: Yes! A couple of pair of pants and I just got a couple of tops! Much more comfy than squeezing into my normal pants!

*Weight Gain: None

*Movement: I think I have felt a couple of flutters, but can't be sure yet!

*Sleep: Can't get enough sleep!! I am having the craziest, most vivid dreams though!

*Symptoms: Exhaustion, heartburn (a little), nausea (a little)

*What I miss: Energy!!

*Cravings: Anything Salty, Cheeses, Meat (sausage) and olives

*Best Moment: Hearing the heartbeat!! My friend let me borrow a fetal doppler so I can hear the heartbeat whenever I want at home!! There is nothing better than hearing the baby's heartbeat!

*What I'm Looking Forward to: Finding out if we are having a boy or girl!! :)

Where in The World Have I Been?

Well, I definitely am VERY behind in blogging!! We have been quite busy this fall/ holiday season and I have been extremely exhausted!! Why? You may ask! BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT!! :) We are so excited!! The kids are just beside themselves!! :)

**I need to catch up on what we've been up to and then some pregnancy detailed posts will soon follow! :)

What We've Been Busy Doing:1. My mom had a Women's Retreat!! It was so fun to get away, laugh, relax and soak up encouragement from the Lord!! :)





2. We went to Georgia to visit family!! :)




3. We have been practicing Basketball~ not all of us~ just Will!! :)






















4. We have been sleeping ALOT!! Not all of us~ just me!! I have been so tired lately~ I have been going to bed around 8 or 8:30! I just really feel 34 and pregnant!! I can definitely tell I am much older this time around!! :)

5. We have been at school!! School during this time of year is super hectic!!

6. We had a Happy Thanksgiving in Huntsville this year!!

Trunk or Treat!!

Our church did their very first Trunk or Treat this year!! We also still had the normal games, bouncy houses, pony rides, cookout and friends!! We had a blast!! There were some really cool decorated cars!! The kids had the best time!! :) I hope the church does this again next year!!

*Will on the Motorcycle!!






*The Mystery Machine!!






*The Waffle House!!















*Our Small Group had the "Emergency Room" Booth this year! It was hilarious!! All the kids were getting bandages for a multitude of wounds complete with blood! Ha! This is Will, he had a shark bite!! :)







*One of our friends came as Rapunzel and her husband was Flynn Rider!! They looked great!! Francie just had to get her picture made with Rapunzel!!




















*Rapunzel's Tower!! :)





















*Francie and Flynn Rider!! :)

Halloween 2011

Halloween this year was awesome as usual!! It is always so much fun~ I promise it's one of my very favorite holidays!! :) Macie, Patrick and JR joined the festivities this year!! It was great to have them with us!! It is nearly impossible to get everyone to take a good picture~ this is the best I could do! We had a Jedi, a couple of Lalaloopsy dolls, Thomas the Train, a dinosaur, a lion, an angel, and Noah wore a morph suit!


*I creeped out this picture of me and Tiff!!!


Page and Macie... creepy!!




*Francie and Morgan!! :)





















*The girls decorated these cookies~ they just looked disgusting~ they really weren't that bad!! :)

At School...

The Fall colors have really begun to pop this week! I love it! This tree at school is always the most beautiful color red! (This picture doesn't do it justice)! It's like it has been painted! Gorgeous!





My sweet Jill in my class brought me back candy sticks and Apple Butter from Gatlinburg!! So thoughtful!! This class is one of the most loving classes ever! I am blessed to have them in my life!! :)























Apple gourd!! My sweet Caroline brought me and apple gourd from her family's pumpkin patch! I had never even heard of an apple gourd before, it is so cool though! She is such a sweetie!! Again, I am blessed beyond measure!! She also, brought her classmates tiny little white pumpkins- they were so cute! The kids loved them!!























It's amazing how God has been encouraging me at school! I am surrounded by the most amazing people- My co-workers, children in my class, their parents!! Mr. B, our principal, brought by a little goodie for us yesterday!! It really blessed my heart!! I am so thankful to be a part of the SMCS family!!
