39 week Doc appointment and Abigails Awana award ceremony

Wednesday afternoon I had my weekly Doctors appointment. No changes to report. Rebekah is still tucked in there tight, snug as a bug.

After the doc we headed to Abigail's Awana award ceremony. Very exciting :) She memorized all her verses for the year. We are very proud of her! She sung her Cubbie song with her classmates and then received her awards. After the ceremony we headed to Waverly House, they are known for their desserts :) It was delicious, we ended up with a little more than dessert on the table. We will be going back, they serve fried green tomatoes, YUM YUM!
Here are the pictures from our celebration.

Summer Time

It is officially summer time around here. I finished up school early with the girls so that we would be done before Rebekah's arrival and so that I would have a little down time with the kids before she joins us. I have some skill activities they will be able to work on on their own during these next few months, as we transition into a family of 6. But no structured school again until the Fall. The girls have been waiting and looking forward to jumping into the new blow up pool that we got the for Easter. It was pretty warm this morning in the sun so I drug it out and blew it up, by mouth I add. Samuel LOVED it he was wet from head to toe within minutes. The girls were much more reserved and never got their hair wet. A GREAT time was had by all! Here are some pics of our fun morning :) many more to come!

Personality Test

A simple conversation in the car today, but such an insight into my girls personalities and HILARIOUS to hear first hand!

Hannah: "Look at all the pretty flowers!"
a few minutes later
Hannah: "Mama, what are those purple things?"
Me: "Flowers"
Hannah: "What are they called?"
Me: "I don't know their name."
Hannah: "Maybe they are called Adabadoba." (Yeah it's a made up word)
Abigail: "Maybe they are JUST flowers"

38 weeks AND COUNTING

Wednesday afternoon was my check-up. Rebekah sounded great. I measured good and Doc said my blood pressure was fantastic like always. He did examine me and said I am about a finger tip dilated, he felt her little head. He then said I am "maybe" 20% effaced. So, I still have a LONG way to go. I also found out I will have to stay in the hospital for 48 hours after delivery because I am strep B positive and they like to monitor baby. This means I will probably be spending the second night alone at the hospital, which makes me a little scared and sad. Trey will most likely have to be at home with our other sweet babies.

After the Doc we took the kiddos to eat and play at McDonalds before AWANA. Then after we dropped them off my sweet man took me to Chilis. My tummy is sticking so far straight out that people are really starting to stare. I fit in to the booth, but it was a tight squeeze. After dinner Trey helped me up and as I waddled past one table, on the way out and "funny guy" about our age heckled, "Ya gotta a big one there." It was funny, I laughed but really! Then as I was attempting to walk to the car I looking behind me and, no exaggeration, every window table was staring at me, the "BIG ONE". It is as if I should no longer be let out of the house I am causing such a stir, frightening folks I guess. Really I am LARGE; for the first time I can balance a cup on my belly. Trey was taken aback the other night when he walked into our room and I was doing tummy tricks, it was pretty entertaining :)

37 weeks

Wednesday I turned 37 weeks and went in for my weekly check up. There is really no update. Don't think that anything is happening yet, but the doc said he will start checking this next Wednesday. I really hope things start happening soon! :)

On a sweet note. The girls are REALLY excited about the arrival of their baby sister!
Yesterday morning they were playing babies and Abigail told me she was practicing for when her baby sister was born.
Last night a bedtime, Hannah said, " I am really ready for baby Rebekah to come out." I said, "Oh, me too Pumpkin" Hannah then said, " I am just gonna wait up."
Also, Samuel gave "baby" a kiss good night :)

I am pretty sure we have the cutest and sweetest kids on the planet. Cant wait to meet Rebekah and add her to the mix!

36 weeks

I had my 36 week check up on Wednesday. Everything is going fine. I will start going weekly this coming week. I think Rebekah may be a little small like her BIG SISTER Abigail was. She has been in the low percentile for size on ultrasounds and I measured small at this appointment. I am hoping she is just small and not gonna stay in the oven for extra time.

I have also started working on her room again :) I finally have all the other kiddos clothes in tubs and Samuel's new dresser arrived. So, am finally able to finish getting Rebekah's things into the dresser and closet.

I will keep you updated :)

Easter 2010

He is RISEN, He LIVES indeed!

We had a Great weekend celebrating and talking about the death and resurrection of Jesus with the kids. Friday after a relaxing morning the girls and I made a craft that MeMe sent and then joined the boys outside to play in the sunshine. The girls had a b-day party after nap and then we all headed to a special Easter worship service at Church. Saturday we attended the Family Easter celebration at Church were the kids had a devotional, hunted eggs and had lots of fun activities. After the celebration we headed home for a picnic in the sunshine and much needed nap :) Saturday evening we decorated our eggs. Sunday morning the girls helped me make resurrection rolls for breakfast and then we headed off to Church. We gave them their Easter treats that evening and were/are def. into the candy. So is Mom :) I hope you all had a great weekend celebrating the RISEN SAVIOR.

My great Dad turned 60 on March 26th. We planned a surprise celebration for the weekend at my brother's river house. Dad knew we were coming and that we were planning on hanging out with Thomas and Jacque, but didn't know that some of our close family friends were arriving on Saturday morning.

We(the Krum's) headed that way on Wednesday day night after dinner. Thursday Trey had a meeting for work in Lockhart and then we all chipped in to get the house ready. Thomas and a buddy mowed, Trey and the kids weeded the front flower beds and I cleaned inside to get ready for our guests. Thursday night mom arrived. Friday morning Mom and I headed to the grocery, store before Dad got into town. Friday night MeMe, PawPaw, Trey I and the kids had a nice dinner at the house sang Happy Birthday to Dad complete with his favorite Apple pie. Saturday morning we did some stuff around the house and tried to stall until our friends arrived. Dad sure was surprised, he had no idea. After lunch we my parents, the friends and I headed down the road to Three Dudes Winery. It was great, I will def. be going back :) Saturday night Thomas grilled and we relaxed and visited. We had a great time celebrating and headed back home on Sunday afternoon.

Happy Birthday Dad, Hope you had a GREAT time :) LOVE you!! xoxo

Zoo Trip

March 22 - 26 was when we took our Spring break this year. A friend and I took the kids on the their first zoo trip that Tuesday. We had a great time looking at the animal and we ate out picnic lunch by the duck pond, because when you go to the Houston Zoo that is where you must eat. I remember eating there as a child. After we checked out the kid area we headed out for frozen treats from the ice cream cart man and a ride on the train. We were ALL pooped by the end of the day!

When we got home. I looked at myself in the mirror. I sometimes forget how LARGE my tummy is. I had on this flowey maternity top that was sticking straight out like a tent! People must have been thinking: "WOW, what exhibit is she gonna be giving birth at?!"
