I had a doctors appointment this week and everything went well. My belly is measuring right on track and baby girls heart rate was 145 bpm. I had to do the one hour glucose test and also get my Tdap and Flu vaccine this visit, so I pretty much felt like a pin cushion! I already start going to see Dr. Dameron every two weeks and I get a sono next visit so I am super excited about that! 

Its been a busy busy week and man am I one tired mama! I will leave out the non-fun details (aka school) and show you what else I have been up to!

I finished the stencil wall in the nursery! It's called "Roses all Over" and I used a metallic gold paint! It really turned out great, I can't wait to get the furniture in and everything hung on the walls!! 

Here is a closer look at the stencil!

On Saturday I went to Clayton's soccer game, it was so much fun and I honestly couldn't believe how coordinated and skilled he is, only being 7 years old! It was so fun to watch him and see how excited he got when he made a goal! He also was the goalie and did a great job!!

These two, they just crack me up! [Soy Soy (Sawyer) on the right and Jack Jack (Jackson) on the left.] To explain the nicknames, I will blame my oldest sister Brooke, although when Sawyer calls Jackson "Jack Jack" it is about the cutest thing in the world. 

Morton Pumpkin Festival

Alisha, Jackson and I went to Morton for the first time to the Pumpkin Festival! We had so much fun! Everything from walking around the craft market to watching the parade to of course eating everything pumpkin!!!!

Mr. Jackson is wanting to walk all the time but hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet!

Pumpkin donuts, pumpkin corn muffin and pumpkin chili!! Yum Yum Yum!

Look at that face!

Those dimples!

I think this may have been when he was watching the cheerleaders!!! Watch out ladies!!! ;)

The Strangest Process Ever

First child + Nurse & student  = Need childcare!!

Naturally this is my first time looking into childcare and wow what a not fun process. Stressful would be the best word to describe it actually because ultimately I am having to choose someone off of paper and meeting them once or twice to take care of my child for 40+ hours each week! It's so scary... And I don't want to make the wrong choice but like my sister reminded me "Taylor if you don't like who you choose she doesn't have to keep going there."  (Thanks Alisha!)

So after using many different resources and many phone calls later I was able to find a few different in home child care options. I then set up some appointments to meet with them and see their homes and went from there. Truthfully I think the most reassuring part of the entire process was contacting the parents who had or currently going to the in home child care centers I visited and listening to their experiences. Nonetheless I have made a decision and I just pray it was the best choice for my little girl!
