Keepin' Up and Funny Convos!

I recently received 2 different messages from 2 different family members within the same day asking how the kids were doing with the upcoming arrival of Baby Tiggas, so I thought I would catch them and the rest of the 500, 200, 100... well maybe like 10 people who MIGHT read this and be interested in how things are going over here in the Tiggas household!

First off I am 500 weeks pregnant, no, not really, I am only 26 weeks.  Which is about 6.5 months for those of you, like me, who can't count fast enough on your hands to figure out how many months that is...in weeks. Since I hit my 16 week mark (4 months) I am doing much better.  I have re-entered the world and have been functioning as a normal human.  It was pretty ugly there for a bit, but like the other pregnancies WE all got through it and I am glad that sickly part is over. Other than heart burn and the normal aches that come with a growing belly, I feel great. Matt is pretty happy for that part to be over as well, I think being a single dad with a hot-mess of a wife wasn't ideal for him. Due date will be last week in April, so I am starting to see a spec of light at the end of that "baby generating" tunnel.

Now that baby is getting bigger I am able to feel him A LOT.  Sometimes I feel like a human punching bag, but it has been fun getting Micah and Kapri to watch and feel him too.  Micah asks everyday "Mom, did baby brother kick? Can I feel?".  Kapri is completely over her disappointment in not getting a baby sister.  I think she realized that there are perks to being the only girl.  I have to say I do look at her a bit differently knowing she is my only little girl.  I might let her get away with a FEW more things than normal lately. As far as them changing or acting differently, we don't really see any change, other than excitement.  We aren't totally fooled into thinking that they won't react or act out when the baby comes, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.  All we can do now is share in the excitement and continue to talk about how each family member is special in their own way.

Both kids are doing pretty well at school. Kapri comes home everyday with paint in places I just don't understand, but then she shows me the picture that she has painted and I just melt. Like clothes, she is washable, so I really don't care how messy she gets.  Micah is doing great academic wise, but could use a bit of what we call "re-direction" when it comes to his listening skills at school. Kapri is still involved with gymnastics and is getting better with her coordination.  Poor kid could be wearing rubber shoes and still trip on a flat surface... God didn't grace her with, well, grace.  Micah is in Takwando and golf right now.  Later in the spring after golf he will start baseball! Proud moment for Matt when we registered him last week. 





















We are in the thick of preparing for March and the games, so we are pretty busy with work too.  I think I am in denial about how large I am going to feel in March and am crossing my fingers that I don't go off the deep end while trying to run the games. I think my strategy is going to be to A. invest in LOTS of extra help and B. put a recliner in my mobile office. That should do it.

I will leave you with some pretty funny bits of conversations that we have had in the last few weeks regarding Baby Tiggas.

Micah: Mom, I hope God puts a strip of blue in your belly for a boy.
Kapri: Mom, when the baby grows and gets bigger it's going to turn into a dinosaur.

Micah: How did God put the baby in there?
Me: Silence
Micah: Did he make you eat it?
Me: Silence

Kapri: How is the baby going to come out?
Micah: God is going to suck it out and the doctor is going to catch it.

Kapri: Mom, your belly is getting HUGE (with facial and hand expressions included)
Me: Thanks Kapri, believe me, I know.

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...
