It's a boy!

By
On Jan 4, 2017 we had a gender reveal party.  The day before Justin and I went to my 20 week ultrasound.  Everything with baby Hamilton looks great.  I was happy to see that all measurements are right on schedule.  Which means baby Hamilton isn't getting too big, yet.  Julia watched the kids so Justin and I could go to the ultrasound.  When I picked up the kids I gave Julia the envelope that said if it was a boy or a girl.  Then the next day she made this awesome looking cake for the party. 

Justin thought it would be a girl.  So of course I had to guess opposite and say it was a boy.  
No nuts or nuts?
We had the Crawfords, Hamiltons, and a neighbor friend (Leahy's) over for the big reveal.  We were all surprised to see a blue cake!!  It'll be so fun to have a mini Channing!

That cake was dang good.


The spread.
Cute pic of Mckenzie that Julia took.

Here I'm 20 weeks and Julia is 24 weeks  
Just a random picture of how Kenzie loves to play kitchen.  
Any name suggestions?  We are clueless when it comes to names.  I used to have a list of names that I liked and now I don't like any of them.

We're very excited to meet this baby in May.  I hope everything continues to go well.

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it.  20lbs for Kenz

Pain in the Neck Child

By
I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that within the next 6 weeks we'll see some improvement.  The PT

$$ for Jeeps

By Justin
Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800."  The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo
