Thanksgiving 2011

I only managed to get a few pictures of Layton and I before we left for Clifton's cousins house Thanksgiving morning.  I should have taken pictures while we were there with all of his extended family but I never got my camera out.  I was being lazy I guess.  Here is what Layton did when I asked him to take a picture with me.

 We enjoyed a beautiful day out at Mike and Connie's house with all of the Shearrers.  Layton had so much fun walking around the Feed Pen checking out the cattle and all the tractors, barns and equipment.  He never stopped the whole time we were there.  He really wasn't even interested in his lunch because we were eating outside and there were just too many distractions.  He did finally stop and eat some dessert before we left.  We all headed back home after lunch and all took a much needed nap.  We spent the rest of the day just as a family at home and watched the Aggies play later that night together.  I started decorating the house for Christmas once I got Layton to bed.  I have everything finished except the tree.  Amanda is going to help me put it up and decorate it tomorrow.  We have so much to be thankful for this year.  I'm so thankful for my family especially my sweet boy and this baby girl that is growing and growing in my tummy.  We can't wait to meet her in a few more weeks!

34 Weeks

 

 

 

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 34 weeks

Gender: A GIRL!!! Molly Grace Shearrer

Maternity Clothes: Yes and I only have about 3 pairs of pants that fit now and all my shirts are getting too short.  I'm going to have to get creative these last 4 weeks of work.

Belly Button: Is totally popped out and sticks out and Layton is constantly asking me "Mommy what happened to it?  Did you turn it inside out?"  LOL.

Movement: She is very active and now her movements hurt sometimes because she is getting bigger and running out of room.

Sleep: The last few days have been rough.  I've been getting up 3 to 4 times to go to the bathroom and the indigestion and heartburn has gotten worse at night when I lay down.  I've tried taking naps but lately I can't even seem to get comfortable for a nap.

Symptoms: Having to go to the bathroom all the time all day and all night.  My left leg goes numb if I'm on my feet for any amount of time or if I sit for too long in one spot.  Like I said above the indigestion and heartburn has gotten worse but other than that I can't really complain.

Cravings: I haven't been very hungry lately I feel like there isn't much room for food.  I get full so fast now.  Chocolate milk has tasted really good the past few days.  I can't really think of anything else.

Best moment this week: Going to see my friend Barbara in the hospital and meet her new baby girl Addison.  It made me so excited to meet Molly and get to experience child birth and all that goes with it again.  Also realizing I only have 4 weeks of work left until I'm off for maternity leave so excited!!!!!

Going to See Santa

 Saturday morning I took Layton here in town to see Santa Claus.  He was so excited he was pretending to call Santa on the way to make sure he had made it from the North Pole into town.  We had to wait in line a while and he kept trying to get his attention while we were waiting in line.  When it was our turn he walked right up to him and shook his hand and said hello and then climbed right up in his lap.  He told him he wanted a tonka truck and an airplane and he was all business so I didn't get a picture of him smiling.  I'm so glad he cooperated this year because last year he screamed the whole time.  I haven't gotten the pictures that were taken there yet but here are two I got with my camera.  Christmas is going to be so much fun this year!!!!

Photos from the Last Week

Here are a bunch of random pictures I've taken in the last week of Layton. 


I told him to make a funny face and this is what he came up with.

 He still loves to play in the bathtub.

 Being silly

 We took him on Saturday to a cute little kid's haircut place in San Antonio and he loved it.

 I love how they spiked his hair now he keeps asking us in the morning to spike his hair.

 His favorite thing to do right now is play parade so every night we line up all of his cars, trucks and tractors and make a parade.

 He asked me to take a picture of him with his train.  This is his geotrax set that he absolutely loves!

 These are his favorite pajamas right now he wants to wear them almost every night and he tells us my name isn't Layton I'm Woody.  Too cute!

Molly's Nursery

I'm so happy I can say Molly's room is finished finally!  I love how everything came together and I still like to go just sit in there and look around and wonder what it will be like to have a sweet baby girl sleeping in that crib.  Last weekend Clifton and I hung the chandelier after my mom and I spent some time putting it together and that was the last thing we had to do.  It took some convincing on my part to get a chandelier but I'm so glad Clifton finally told me I could get one because it really adds a lot.  Here are a bunch of pictures of Molly's nursery.

Halloween 2011

Sunday night Layton started running fever so I decided to stay home with him on Monday even though he woke up and was acting fine Monday morning.  I really wanted him to rest and take a good nap so he could enjoy the Fall Festival Monday night.  He had so much fun wearing his pilot costume one more time and playing all the games.  It was hard to keep up with him because there were so many people there and he didn't quite understand that you have to wait in line at each booth so that made things interesting.  We got their early and played a bunch of games before it got too crowded and then he stayed in the toddler area riding the cars while my mom and I worked that booth until we left.  Later that night when we got home his fever was back unfortunately.  Poor kid has been sick all week.  After two trips to the doctor he has a sinus infection and a really bad cough but the fever just won't go away.  His ears never got infected which is good but he has been really cranky this week.  I'm so glad to be home with him today because it has been challenging trying to juggle work, doctor's appointments and taking care of him this week.  Thankfully my mom was free this week and helped us keep him and met me at his appointments in San Antonio.  Here are some pictures from our church's Fall Festival.  I'm so glad he was feeling up to going to it on Monday and he didn't have to miss out.

He insisted on holding my purse around his neck so I just went with it.

 I love this picture of him so funny.  I hadn't finished putting my makeup on but it was too cute of him not to post.

 Getting Dexter into his Halloween costume.

 Layton wouldn't really cooperate for another picture.

 Grandma Hindes and Joe got a quick visit from Pilot Layton before we headed to the Fall Festival.

 Playing all the games

 Pete and Abby were dressed as a pilot and a flight attendant so we got his picture with Abby.
