Pregnancy

-


So, today I had my yearly exam and all was well until the subject of baby #3 came up. EEEEEEEEEEK!
I have to admit, I've been thinking about it for a few months {keep in mind - THINKING about it} My doctor and I discussed it for a while and of course, I asked every question I could think of, and still left there not sure I want to go down that road. Let's face it, I am getting older and so are my eggs. They've never been "super eggs" to begin with, I did several rounds of Clomid with both pregnancies. Now, I am almost 35 {in pregnancy years, that's old - so I was told today} and 35 {GASP} has always been my SCARY age. I will be the first to admit, it makes me a little nervous to get pregnant at this age. Everything I've read about pregnancy after 35 doesn't help either. I'm just scared. I loved being pregnant with both my girls, and labor & delivery was not bad. If I were 5 years younger, I'd get pregnant again in a heart beat, but there is something inside me that is hesitant. 


The main question I ask myself.....can I handle three kids? ;-) ha!

I came across your blog about a year ago when I googled my daughter's name, Landry Cate, just for fun. Imagine my surprise when I found out there was another Landry Cate right here in Arkansas! We're from Hot Springs, my Landry is 7 & Cate is our last name (she's actually a Landry Elizabeth). I've read up on your sweet family from time to time, but never felt compelled to write anything until now. I just had my third baby 7 months ago & I am sooo glad that we we had her. I say go for it. (as if an opinion of a total stranger means anything!) Being a mom of three is awesome. She has truly blessed our family, and I am so happy she's here. And while I'm giving my unsolicited opinion, I wanted to add a couple more things in response to previous posts :). Thank you for sharing those adorable monthly onesie stickers. I ordered a set for my Corley & they make for some adorable pics. Another amazing place to shop (You've probably already discovered it) is Glitterbox in Fayetteville. It's a very affordable boutique with a bonus...consignment too! Bring in your old stuff & go home with new! And lastly, some friends of mine are fostering a sweet little girl who just turned one. She will most likely be up for adoption soon and be in need of a forever family...wondered if your brother & sister-in-law might be interested in meeting her? Thanks for letting me take up space on your comments section ;)

State Fair of Texas

A few weekends ago, we went to the fair. It was super crowded, but the weather was perfect. The girls had a blast riding rides, eating fair food, and looking at all the animals. Harper was so good. She slept the majority of the time, but when she was awake, she just played in her little bassinet. I think she enjoyed the fresh air. ;)

Texas Tech v. Texas Longhorns

My husband is from New Deal, Texas {a very TINY town around the corner from Lubbock - Ha!}. He went to Tech and is a HUGE Tech football fan. Up until this year, my 4 yr old, Rylee has followed in her daddy's footsteps. She loved the Red Raiders and would always have her "guns up!" Not too long ago, she informed her daddy that she QUIT the Red Raiders and is now a Longhorn! A daddy's heart was broken on that summer night. {yes, she goes around with her horns in the air and yes, her daddy cringes!} Can't wait to see what happens tonight when the Red Raiders play the Longhorns. Will she have her "guns up" or her "horns" up? We shall see.... Until next time...... xoxo
