HUGE yardsale Saturday!!!

HUGE yardsale Saturday! 8a-2p ~

Loogootee United Methodist Church...

all donated proceeds go to Steve & Pam Tedrow

This is my best friend, Kelly's in-laws. Her husband has

already lost his father this past year to cancer and now

his step-dad is fighting it.

From what I understand he had surgery to remove it

& it has a very high reoccurance rate so they are

doing 5-7 weeks of chemo & they have to drive daily to eville for

radiation treatments. After that he has 24 weekly trips

to eville for radiation.
So he can't work since they are driving to eville every day

& she only works part time...the rest of the time

she does the youth @ the church for free.

So if you're a yardsale nut like me....you don't want to miss out!!

And why not do it for a worthy cause :)

Lovable: Leah Robinson Photography

I just had to post pictures of one of the most

lovable little girls I have met!

When I first saw her I wanted to just squeeze her :)

Miss Ella had one of the funniest personalities

as well. If you don't believe me, just ask her

what you put on her boo boos....neosporin!! Yes

she says neosporin...crack me up!! lol

Heartbreaker :Leah Robinson Photography

It's hard to believe this big guy is a 30 week preemie,

let alone that's it been 1 year!!

Little does he know how lucky he is to be living in

our neighborhood....surrounded by girls LOL!!

Including my 3 girls, Audrey's 3 girls, and Jess's

two girls...this heartbreaker is going to some great ladies

to pick from :) haha

New Ride

This week momma got a new ride ;)

2007 Nissan Quest

I figure with Stella on the way...it was time to expand.

I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this van! It has every

feature except GPS, which is fine b/c I already have a

portable GPS :)

The girls are lovin it too. Everytime we get in I must turn

on the DVD players LOL It cracks me up how in-tune they

are the watching the screens! So if you're lookin for a mini-van

I highly recommend the Quest!!!

Pregnancy - Day 162

Today is day 162 of my pregnancy (23 wks, 1day).

Here's what I found online about

Stella this week:

Your baby is positively HUGE during pregnancy

at 23 weeks, a whopping 1.1 pound

(or almost at least!). That is quite an

accomplishment for someone that used to

weigh less than one ounce. Your baby at 23

weeks is now the size of a small baby doll you

might purchase for a little girl.

That's pretty impressive considering your baby

could fit in the palm of your hand just a few

short weeks ago. Your newborn baby is also

about 11 inches long by pregnancy week 23!

I have felt many of Stella's changes this week also.

**I am feeling a little less graceful 23 weeks pregnant as my

belly continues to expand!

**Stella's kicks are becoming stronger and stronger and

I'm hoping the girls and Joe will be able to feel them soon.

**My mood swings have been horrible this week...the

family is not sure if they should hide or seek me LOL

**Migraine this week..could be weather or hormones...not sure

**Went to the chiropractor...and feel 10x's better

**Braxton hicks contractions every other day or so

**Weight is starting to come on this week...I think the scale

at home says I've gained 2-3lbs.

All in all I'm enjoying this pregnancy and the miracle God

has given to me :) I can't wait till the day I get to see

Stella's beautiful face...if she will have brown eyes/brown hair

like mommy or blue eyes/blonde hair like daddy...or her own

combination like her sister Alli Jo :) However she looks I know

she will be beautiful like her sisters and look like an angel!

--On a side note...my Aunt Rosetta passed away this week.

If you can please keep my mom and our family in your prayer :)

Till the next time........

Five Easy Steps to Wreck Your Life

One of my favorite bookmarks on my computer is

the site for LifeChurch.tv

If you have never been on the site...

bookmark it today!!

Recently they started a series of videos titled

Five Easy Steps to Wreck Your Life

Well I started watching it, and thought

this is a perfect series for Joe and I to watch

together!! Even if you're not married yet....still

great information!!

There are 5 different weeks, I think they've done 2 so far

so if you and your spouse can find about 30 minutes a week

to watch them....come on that's not that much time...

if I can do it you can do it :)

Nobody plans for it to happen, but life can get pretty messy.

Trouble with our relationships…harmful habits…

feeling far from God…we look back and wonder,

“How did I end up here?”

Starting down that path is easier than you might think,

unless you know what to look for. Join us for our next series,

5 Easy Steps to Wreck Your Life.

Pregnancy - Day 155

Today I am 155 days pregnant (22 weeks 1day).

I missed posting last week, it's just been a little crazy

in the Robinson house lately. With Alli Jo starting

preschool/daycare and Hunter starting up her activities

added to my full-time and part-time jobs....

mommy is going a little nuts :)

On September 11th I had my diagnostic OB appt. They
did a detailed ultrasound to make sure baby is

developing normally. And thank God everything looks great!

She checked Stella's spine, head, heart, blood flow to heart,
her stomach, hands, feet, and much more!
My placenta is behind Stella and her head is down....both
great to hear! Her heartbeat was right around 140 again :)

She weighs around 14oz!

And of course I had to ask..........

So it looks like Stella it will be :)

We will keep her middle name a secret, in case this is our

last baby...we have something a surprise!!

So what's going on with Stella this week????

At 11 inches and almost 1 pound, baby is starting

to look like a miniature newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and

eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and she's even

developing tiny tooth buds beneath her gums. Her eyes

have formed, but her irises (the colored part of the eye)

still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb,

you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers
her body and the deep wrinkles on her skin, which she'll

sport until she adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside

her belly, her pancreas — essential for the production of

some important hormones — is developing steadily.

I don't feel much different this week, besides the steady

kicks Stella gives me durning the day and night :)

Best feeling in the world!

The nausea is still there in the mornings...but very

manageable now!

I think last appointment I had gained 3lbs.

We did get Stella's room painted.....well Joe did :)

Here are a few pictures from my cell phone

Joe painting over Alli Jo's old room (pink)

Daddy's big helper!

Painting the brown wall...looks like a turkey LOL

Hard to see colors....sage green & brown
