The Suits Sisters

Audrey Anna Suits born Thursday August 24, 2017 @ 8:53 PM 6 pounds 10 ounces 19.5 inches @ 40 & 4 days gestation For you created my inmost being;     you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made psalm 139

Here's how we're wasting time these days... Caris found A Child is Born , a book inherited by my hippie birthing center au natural mom. Although she didn't comment on her reading, I'm pretty sure my simple explanation of, "Mommy's belly will hurt and then I'll push the baby out" was brought to life with some uh, intense photography from the book.  One night near midnight we sent this text to my dad and Anna, but we worded it wrong and it wasn't clear that the picture was my joke baby and Charles gave us a hard time. Sorry, Pops!  When you wake up before 5AM hungry and restless.  (Sung to the tune of Alive, Alive )  Awake, awake, awake forevermore This pregnant chick is awake forevermore Awake, awake, awake forevermore This pregnant chick is awake Sing c'mon baby! Sing c'mon baby!  This pregnant chick is awake forevermore Sing c'mon baby! Sing c'mon baby!  This pregnant chick is awake  ...a

2 Pictures I took this week {and 3 I didn't} Comparing sizes at Winn Dixie   Self dressed up for a tea party  (Where pumpkin bread sweetened with Splenda instead of sugar was served. Moment of silence for the potential goodness that could have been consumed)  My Disney bracelet   Walking, walking, walking. True love is agreeing to walk  waddle around the neighborhood with your pregnant wife in the middle of August  Selfies on your phone are free game! Everyone say Hiiiii Shellyyyyy !

do you hear that ticking sound? its ME. i'm a TICKING TIME BOMB As we wait for the baby to make her debut, we've taken on the easy  task of entertaining my mom. We took her to the science center (where Caris practiced her silly face for the camera) We've played Candy Land, Uno, Spot It and with Play Dough. We've written a letter to Pops and watched two movies.    In exchange, she's given us a date night (Chiptole + buying newborn diapers eeeek !)  flowers and  dessert under the guise winkyface of supporting the MOPS ministry at church 

Over the weekend I had two of what I will call "cafeteria sandwiches" because they're what your ma might have packed you for lunch in the second grade. Or maybe what you packed yourself for work today if you're living life right. We're talking about 97 cent white bread, questionable ham and cheese, a heaping pile of pickles, a hearty scoop of mayo followed by a generous squirt of mustard.  If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. 

Baby Shower In mid-June a handful of ladies from our former church threw a baby shower for us. I brought Caris along (which felt SURREAL) She watched a muted version of Alice in Wonderland (the cute theme of the shower) and ate too many sweets. Each person gave us a picture book and we took home a small fortune in gift cards. Like...so much money. They blessed our socks off and it was humbling and overwhelming. Diapers for life! Disney Passes Our passes include black out dates (around major holidays and then most of the summer). Our black out time was set to end on August 14, but we got an email telling us that it was bumped up to August 1st because two rides were closing forever. Kent and the girls are at Epcot today and it's a much needed distraction for all of us. The only rule is Kent has to keep his phone on him and turned up at all times. We're close to my due date and the drive home from Disney is almost an hour. Living on the edge, baby. winkyface Funds Money
