All about Addie

Addie turns 5!!!  The party was awesome. My very sweet cousin Angela came to help me decorate about a week before the party and I still can't believe how beautiful everything turned out.

Sprinklers in buildings - Addie has started a new obsession with sprinklers inside of buildings.  Almost everywhere we go, she will notice wether or not a place has them.  She also will let us know where all of the exits are.  I think it all stemmed from several weeks ago when she had asked what they were.  I'm assuming that however me & Shane explained it must have triggered a nerve with her and now it has sparked the curiosity.

All about Cooper

"Left & Right" - Cooper loves to ask us which way is left or right.  He will ask if we are turning left or right, ask if this is his left or right hand, ask if the shoe is on the right foot, etc.

Random coughing - He has noticed that he gets a reaction out of us when he coughs.  Even when it's a pretend cough, I will say "OH GOODNESS".  Recently though, he started making himself sick "trying" to cough.  Of course it is now being discouraged and hopefully we can nip it quickly.


All about Aribelle

"Wow, Cool" - I think we mentioned last month that Aribelle loves to say "Wow" and sometimes "cool" but now she combines the two.

"Ball" - She has started saying "ba" for ball.  In addition, she has one heck of an arm on her. She loves to roll the ball and throw it and when she throws, she can really launch it!!

Baby #4 - 

Baby movement - on 5/1 I felt the baby move for the first time.

E.R. visit - I was home alone (kids were with nana for the day) so I could get some things done before vacation.  While getting ready to get in the shower, I started feeling pretty strange.  My head started tingling, tongue started tingling, etc.  It's hard to describe the feeling, but I thought for sure I needed to throw up.  After grabbing the garbage can, I knelt down and put my chin on the edge of the can.  That was the last thing I remembered doing and woke up on my back.  Apparently I had passed out.  I really wasn't sure what to think of it but after consulting with my doctor, she asked that I go get checked out in the E.R. just as a precaution.  Luckily, everything came back normal.  Hopefully it was just a low blood sugar thing, but will keep an eye out for any other issues.

Gender revealed - On 5/9 we went to springfield, mo for a gender scan.  We found a place online that does the scan a lot sooner than my OB does and wanted to find out before vacation.  To our HUGE surprise, it's a BOY!!  I think me & Shane really convinced ourselves that it was going to be another girl.  My symptoms just seemed to really follow the "girl" pattern.  After talking names, we've decided on Conner.  Can't wait to meet our little guy!! :)
