And that's just what I'll be doing in just a few days!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thinking back through the last few months, there were a few things that I just had to write down so that I'd remember what it's like to be pregnant with twins. Much of it is the same, especially the first few months. But the rapid growth of the belly makes for so many questions and strange looks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Reactions when people find out I'm pregnant with twins:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If I've got both of my other kids with me... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- most people laugh. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- tell me that they'll see me in 15 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- remind me how full my hands are going to be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- but also how fast it's going to go. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- and some really kind people tell me how blessed we are. or how great I look (I mean, your butt's bound to look small when your belly's this big :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some of the advice I've gotten: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- do a load of laundry every day (I could get on board with that) so that it doesn't pile up</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- have a picnic party in the car; turn on a movie, go through the CFA drive through, and give myself some quiet time (another I could get on board with)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- get a tummy tuck at the same time as my c-section (yes, I've really had two people, both who've had twins, who have recommended this to me). For the record, I'm not doing it, but I did ask my Dr. out of curiosity about whether or not that's for real. She said that's not even an option :). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- hire a nanny, a night nurse, and get as much help as possible. If money were no issue, we would do all of the above, I'm sure. But, it's not really an option. However, we are lining up some great help (both family and hired), and I'm feeling pretty good about the set-up and my capacity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Surprising questions I've gotten:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- (before knowing for sure) "Please tell me there is more than one baby in there?!" Well, actually, there are two. However, that's quite a bold question to ask...ever! And it's happened twice! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- "Is there something special you did to have twins?" Well, no. I mean, we did the same thing we've done to make any babies?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And a few random thoughts:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- I kind of hope that I never forget what it's like to walk through a public place this pregnant. The looks. The random comments. The whispers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- I feel like I've pushed my body in a lot of ways. I've participated in some pretty competitive sports, run a few half marathons, and taken some seriously hard classes (uh hum...Dantwan). This twin pregnancy is, by far, the hardest physical thing I've ever done. It's no joke, people. And I give major kudos (to anyone who's ever carried one baby, but also...) to anyone who has ever carried multiples. I'm super grateful for the smooth pregnancy, but this ain't no joke!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
This June, our family got some exciting and super surprising news...we're expecting TWINS! That's right :: two babies. At one time.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few random facts about it all...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Yes, we were surprised! 100%. I couldn't get in to have an ultrasound until 9 1/2 weeks, so for around 5 weeks, we knew we were pregnant, but we assumed with only one baby. (Except that my baby belly sure was growing faster this time!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- How did it go down?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Something like this...)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tech (pulling up a baby on the ultrasound): "Baby looks great and healthy."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Me: "Yay! (Looking at the kids) There's the baby."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tech: "Is this your first ultrasound?"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Me: "Yes ma'am."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tech: "Well, there's another baby in there. You're having twins!"</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- What was our reaction? When she told us, we were f-r-e-a-k-i-n-g out. Immediate tears. Immediate, hysterical laughter. Immediate gratitude. Immediate anxiety. :) It was the sweetest moment. And everyone was there!</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just happened to take this photo right before we found out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They were just all too cute sitting there!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- The twins in my belly are fraternal, meaning the gender combo could be anything! So, do twins run in our family? Way, way up. And see below. (But as an FYI, fraternal is genetic, identical is random!)</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Hers are also the 3rd and 4th, with a very small age gap between the 2nd and the twins. And hers are identical.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Delle will be 20 months old when these guys arrive (assuming they're not too early), and Hammond will be three months shy of 4. That's right...4 babies under the age of 4!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Will we find out the genders? We haven't in the past, but considering all that is going to come our way in January, we've decided it's the wisest thing. I haven't quite come to terms with that (a gender surprise at birth is the absolute BEST, in my opinion!), but again, I know it's the wisest thing. The plus side? All of the freshly laundered, gender appropriate clothes ready to go in their drawers and closets. Monogrammed items. The decorating possibilities.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- On an ironic note, we don't own a car that will fit four babies in it. And our house is barely going to be able to fit six people in it! But we are so grateful, and we have about 5 months (yes, we are already to that mark!) to figure all of that out :).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When Hammond was born, Jamie and I made the decision (because there was opportunity) for me to stay home. It is SUCH a gift, but it's not always easy. However, we also decided not to put him in any sort of day program (which, depending on where you are and who your friends are, may or may not sound normal). So, aside from the gym and a Bible study I do once a week, we spend most of our days together! Until now…</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With little sister joining the chaos, we decided maybe it was worth a try for this fall. Not to mention that Hammond is a social kid. If he's given the opportunity, he wants to be with friends. All the time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After asking to go to school repeatedly, I decided to try out a VBS this summer that his friend, Conrad, was going to. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That week went really, really well, and he had a blast. 5 days was definitely too much for him (although, if he could, he probably would have told me otherwise), but it was such a success that we decided to try out a program this fall.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">picnic at the playground after his 2nd day</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So far, it's pretty good! The program we're doing is such a baby step into school for him, which is perfect for where we are right now. It's not a formal program, and some kids only sign up weekly. But, he is enjoying his time with new friends, play time, and crafts. I mean, he loves it! And I'm actually getting a few things accomplished in a day! And getting to spend a little more one-on-one time with sweet Delle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For me, I think there will always be tension with how much time our kids spend away from the influence of our home. And I'm ok with that. But, this is certainly a fun new season for the little man, and for mom. :)</span>Molly Hargatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691493838610800720noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142824651632216212.post-76333222601533950392014-10-27T11:27:00.000-07:002014-10-27T11:27:20.006-07:00Months Four and Five :: Delle<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Disclaimer: Wrote this post a month ago, and just now posting it!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Delle has turned four months, and now five (!), and we are into such a good groove. When you have a fast-paced toddler around the house, you just have to keep moving, but I am realizing a few things about our sweet baby girl. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The most profound :: she's not her brother. The first few months she was as laid back a baby as he was. But she's changing, she's teething, and she's <i>sassy</i>! While big brother would lay on a mat for days, playing with toys, rolling, trying to crawl. Delle would prefer to spend 5 minutes on the mat, then the bumbo, then the exersauser, maybe the swing, and then "would you just hold me?" She's a little more high maintenance, and that's ok! (Can you tell I'm trying to convince myself?!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyhow, here are her four and five month photos - </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This little bit is 3 months old! I've said it before, but as precious and sweet as newborns are, it keeps gettin' better!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's what she's up to ::</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- becoming alert, and even giving us a few smiles (as evidenced in the photos below)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- still napping 3x/day, and sleeping 12ish hours at night (with a dream feed)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- for the most part, she's a chill baby. happy when awake, and deals so well with her big brother's shenanigans. seriously, he's all over her!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- of course, fussy time is the usual, and it's just chaos at our house (I know, I know, it's only 2 kids, but still!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- her 2 months stats (that were really at 11 weeks) put her at 85% height and 91% weight</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And it's close to impossible to get a good picture of her! Especially with big brother around (sorry, Delle).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few random facts about our sweet girl ::</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- she's becoming more and more alert, and I love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- the weekend of her 2 month bday (this past one), she officially started sleeping through the night. woohoo!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- she's cooing and making noises</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- she is finally well (after 5 weeks of congestion and a double ear infection), and her personality is proving to be really laid back (2nd child?!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- she's adjusting to a schedule really well</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- stats come later next week, at her next check-up</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I was trying to get the </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">usual</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> picture, Hammond insisted on getting in the chair and getting a few of himself. I mean, he's too cute to resist. And technically the 2 works for him, too. :)</span><br />

I'll just start there. They are precious and sweet and easy to hold and love on. Then nighttime rolls around, and you remember how hard it is. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll be honest and tell you that I had a pretty tough time when Hammond was a newborn. It was only one kid, and I was home all day. But, I'm pretty sure the fog didn't lift until after the first month (maybe two?!) of his life. Of course, I look at him now and realize how short that season was, and how much I enjoy him now, but at the time it was hard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was frozen when Hammond was a baby, but having a two-year-old, along with a newborn, means that I can't be. Life still goes on and there is a little boy who needs me to help his world go round. So, here are a few thoughts of what it's been like to have two kids (for just a few weeks, so far), and other reminders of having a newborn...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>I can survive on much less sleep than I realized. </b>There's only a small window in my day where I have the choice to nap, cook, or do anything else that is hard/impossible with a two-year-old and/or baby awake. So, most days I survive off of the little sleep I've gotten the night before. And I'm surviving!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(I love this excerpt (apparently Hammond did, too!) when I think of the middle of the night feedings!) --></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Babies can cry.</b> It's ok. And potentially better for her if I choose to let her cry sometimes now, since I'm going to let her eventually!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Mamas need a whole lot of grace (cause our hormones are nuts). </b>Especially these first few weeks. It's not fair. And I can't rest or find excuses in that, but I'll certainly take all the grace I can get.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>It is a lonely, and temporary, season. </b>Those first few weeks, that is. Homebound, with said hormones all over the place. And a two-year-old to entertain. It's just lonely. But so short-lived. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>I am only surviving by the grace of God, and lots of prayerful friends. An amazing husband's support and help. And maybe some perspective.</b> <b>Oh, and wine -- at least a little. </b>More details below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Friendship is a sweet, sweet thing. </b>I'm realizing just how precious our friends are. My friends, who are constantly checking in on me, and asking how they can help. Hammond's friends, whose mama's are so kind to take him out for play dates. Our family's friends who are constantly giving. Praying. Etc. And to tag on…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Meals are potentially even more impactful for #2 (and I imagine #3, #4, etc). </b>Thank you, friends, for your meals!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>My husband is my favorite.</b> And anytime I feel like I'm stuck or homebound or lonely, I'm reminded that I'm getting a lot of quality time (albeit stressed, tired, and hormonal) with my favorite human. No way I could do this without him. No way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>You have to do what works for your family.</b> For any baby that you have. For any family decision, for that matter. Otherwise, you'll drive yourself crazy. Whether it's to nurse or not to nurse, what method of parenting to choose, or what baby items you need. (Other moms, check yourself before you judge!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><b>Every season can feel like the hardest.</b> In high school, I thought every decision was the hardest. Same for college. Then, if I could just make it to a full-time job. Or marriage. Or kids. Now it's me thinking things will be easier when my kids are older. I don't want to wish away their childhood. And that's just not the truth. Each season comes with its own set of challenges. </span><br />

It just is. And when I really think about that, <b>it's a beautiful thing. </b>I saw this today on instagram -->. And it's so true. This season is mainly so tough because it goes against my selfish nature. I have to be the most selfless version of myself - serving helpless little people who <i>need</i> me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But I'm not having babies to better my own world (well, that's only part of the reason, cause they sure are cute). I'm having babies to grow them into adults who love Jesus and who will be a light to this world. So, yeah, it's hard. But, that's not the point! (Now if I can just remember this <i>all day </i>-- <i>and night -- </i>long!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Boy or Girl?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just for kicks, I thought it'd be fun to create a poll and see what you think. If you have time, either use the poll above, or write in the comment section. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Guess we'll know soon!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As we were preparing to make room for baby #2, we decided to go ahead and transition Hammond to a big boy bed before the babe arrived. What was formerly our guest bedroom, is now all decked out for a little boy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first "nap" was a disaster. After a few weeks, he started getting out of the bed as soon as he woke up. But, finally, somehow, he got the hang out it. And he's been sleeping full time (naps + all night) in his big boy bed, without getting out until mommy or daddy comes to get him, for over a month now. We're talking a whole hour of entertaining himself in the mornings, and sometimes in the afternoons! So thankful. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's also helped us talk to him about the baby that's coming. "Who's bed is the crib going to be? That's right, the baby." "There's baby's room." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are a few photos of the room ::</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We left the queen sized bed in there, with the hopes that we'll still be able </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to house guests. I just put two pillows under the comforter on the left </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">side when he sleeps, to keep him from falling off, and then he's got all the room in the world </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">to stretch out. And he does!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This kid loves to read, and he loves to read with mommy and daddy. So, I really wanted to have a chair in there. My mom has had this rocker for as long as I can remember, and gave it to us to have when H was a baby. We recovered the seat, and it fits perfectly in the corner. Plus, I envision mommy rocking a baby in there while H runs around like a wild man in his room.</span></div>

And my mom, Honey, painted the doggy (Scout, anyone?) with the fun saying around it…for Hammond's 2nd bday. And I just can't ever have enough photos in a room, so the bulletin board was a must. It's also a great place for us to keep our memory verse from Waumba Land (Prov. 17:17 this month!). </span></div>

And the shelves above are the <a href="http://mollyallen.blogspot.com/2011/07/diy-pallet-shelves.html">pallet shelves</a> that I had made for our master bedroom (still haven't replaced them, but I've got grand plans for our master). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The closet! I finally got to ORGANIZE all of Hammond's toys. We've got truck/car bins, a music bin, a bin full of blocks, a misc bin, our art bin, and one full of all the balls a kid could imagine. I've even got empty bins on the bottom shelf, in anticipation of a few new toys coming our way. Plus, I can fit his bigger toys (shopping cart, a train he can ride, the golf clubs) in there when it's time for bed at the end of the day. Have I even mentioned that a clean and tidy house <i>really</i> helps keep me sane?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We love our little house, and I love that Hammond now has a fun, big boy room!</span><br />

I hardly have words for how precious this kid is to us. But, here are a few I shared on Friday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Hard to believe I've had the privilege of being this kid's mom for the past 2 years.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But, I'll start your news years off with one of my favorite stories - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jamie and I are a part of a church in Buckhead that we love, appropriately named <a href="http://buckheadchurch.org/">Buckhead Church</a>. From the time we committed to making this place our church home, we were well informed of their <a href="http://buckheadchurch.org/engage">vision</a> for members - Connect. Serve. Give. Invite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today's story comes from the Serve aspect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because of really great experiences that Jamie and I both had with our own college ministries, we decided to invest our energy and resources into the <a href="http://thelivingroomatl.com/">college ministry</a> at BC. And our lives will never be the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Three and a half years ago, we became adult leaders (ha! makes me feel old!) for a small group of freshman college students who would gather at our house once a week and attempt to learn more about Jesus and grow in their faith. While we've seen some of those students come and go, there are a few who have stuck with us and we've had the privilege to watch them grow, mature, wrestle through some serious stuff, and become somewhat like our surrogate children. Thankfully, we have at least a year left with most of them, but...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Two of those boys were Lucas + Victor, international student athletes at Georgia State. They both came from Brazil and played tennis for four years. Both of their stories were different, but the two became like brothers, and partly because they were so far from home we became their American parents. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We've had the huge honor of seeing incredible life change happen in them over the years. Victor made the decision to give his life to Jesus and got baptized (you should check out his <a href="http://buckheadchurch.org/adults/baptism/videos/P30">video here</a>!), they won countless tennis matches and even got to go to the NCAA tennis championship as doubles partners (and made it to the <a href="http://www.fightingillini.com/ncaatennis2013/">round of 16</a>!), invested and changed the lives of all those that knew them, and brought such fun, hysterical laughter, and life! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Victor and Lucas graduated from Georgia State University this past December, graciously spent the Christmas season with us, and then headed back to Brazil to begin their post-graduate lives at home with their families. We are so excited to see what's to come for them, and yet sad to see them leave. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Victor & Lucas, we consider you a part of our family (Hammond already misses his big brothers!), and can't wait to come visit soon! </span><br />

I can't believe it. Some days I look at him and think "he's a little BOY." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He's been walking since right at 12 months, and now the boy is RUNNING. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He's also climbing everything! And up for trying almost everything.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Such a talker/babbler! When I can understand what he says...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Hi</i> and <i>Bye</i> are still his favorites. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He also says </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Mamma</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">; </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dad</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (not </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">daddy</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">)</span><br />
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hottttt</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (and puts his hand out toward hot objects)</span><br />
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Woah</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (at everything...it's hilarious)</span><br />
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Truck</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (at every large vehicle)</span><br />
<i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tooo Tooo </i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">when he sees trains</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He also can repeat most of what we ask</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And we're working on </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ham-man </i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(for Hammond, of course). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He's loving water :: splash pads, the pool, and the tub.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He's definitely attached to mommy, but does love his daddy, too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And the kid is FRIENDLY. I mean, the pun is intended when I say he is a <i>ham</i>! When we're out to eat, walking around, or at the grocery, he says <i>HI</i> to everyone. It cracks me up. And most of the time, it cracks up the other people. <i>Bye </i>is also his best word. Loud and emphasized. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since a month ago, the morning nap is gone! [Insert happy + sad face here.]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And he's taking a ~3 hour afternoon nap.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still staying in his crib from 8pm - 8am at night.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He's eating like a toddler. By that, I mean, one week he is super picky. The next week he's eating me out of house and home...and eating everything I put in front of him, including veggies (thankfully this is one of those weeks!). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Loves other kids! They're our greatest form of entertainment and fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Loves</b> stuffed animals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Loves</b> toy trucks.</span><br />

I have no expertise on babies and toddlers, I'm just writing notes on what has been working for us. Feels like I need to preface that given that everyone has opinions lately :).**</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the hardest transitions we've had yet was getting off the bottle/formula, and moving Hammond solely onto solid foods (we don't do milk at all, just water). We had been weaning him off the last few months of his first year, and on his first birthday, he had his very last bottle. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Possibly even harder than all of that? Coming up with creative, tasty, and healthy meals! That he'll eat. :) I'm totally not that mom that has to feed him all organic, homemade food. However, I do feel a big sense of responsibility for what goes in him and making sure he gets all the nutrients he needs. Afterall, I feel pretty crappy when all I eat is junkfood. I don't want to be the source of that for him. Anyhow, here are some of our favorite foods that we've tried, broken down into categories...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few things I've learned...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- One week he will love watermelon, and the next he's spitting it out of his mouth like it's cardboard. Who knows why? So I make it a point to try things again a few weeks out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Teething affects everything (for us), including meals. He needs softer textured food </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmhDFWt8RJBGl3iQnfoJwM28jh1AH4HNtHWayB9qHwiXwYnYx6u7Ezfi3bjRVAPzI2rymyj0hXYvmbCwfR1Wde-sotvMs6h25DHl8HvEVdwoRmcRzJ8xsttvZdl2KeIT0UCu_vn9yXH0/s1600/IMG_6157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimmhDFWt8RJBGl3iQnfoJwM28jh1AH4HNtHWayB9qHwiXwYnYx6u7Ezfi3bjRVAPzI2rymyj0hXYvmbCwfR1Wde-sotvMs6h25DHl8HvEVdwoRmcRzJ8xsttvZdl2KeIT0UCu_vn9yXH0/s320/IMG_6157.jpg" width="239" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">when teeth are coming in (guess it makes sense).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- As stated earlier, if I can make him a healthy, homemade meal I'm all over it. But if it's a busy week, and I find myself pulling stuff out of the freezer for every meal, I don't stress about that either. For me, it's all about balance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- I've had Hammond on a pretty tight schedule since he was about 6 weeks old. Given that, I can either make sure to feed him on time OR expect a fussy boy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Ketchup usually helps him eat anything. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- I am now trying really hard to feed him what we eat. That doesn't work out every meal (sushi? timing?), but I'm trying and finding it's much easier for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- I try to be prepared when we're going to be around other kids with snacks. If someone's eating, he wants to be eating, too. So, I always try to have snacks on hand!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All in all, Hammond is a great eater (possibly too good, as he's going to eat us out of house and home with his appetite!). But new challenges arise all the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Any other moms out there that want to share good recipes for toddlers?! I'd love more ideas!!</span>Molly Hargatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16691493838610800720noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142824651632216212.post-21848740483469768752013-08-05T11:36:00.000-07:002013-08-05T11:36:32.207-07:00splash pad<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whoever came up with the concept of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_pad">splash pad</a> is brilliant! Hammond's chance to run around and play like a mad man in the water, and mom and dad's chance to sit back and just watch! There are a few around the city, but we decided to make an afternoon of it in <a href="http://www.piedmontpark.org/do/legacy_fountain.html">Piedmont Park</a>. </span><br />
