Tonight, Dallas attended a birthday party for one of his best friends and classmates, Dylan. It was a sports theme party with an indoor batting cage, basketball courts, and arcade games.<br />

My aunt did a coloring contest on her "Thirty-One" page this week. I printed off the picture for me to complete, and when Reba saw it, she had to have one too. She really took her time and carefully picked her colors, and I think it turned out beautifully.<br />

Unfortunately, Sha had recently turned onry/mean. It got to the point where Dallas was afraid to go into the coop to help with chores. With the current ban on selling chickens (because of the bird flu this summer), Doug explained to Dallas that our option was for Daddy to kill the little rooster. Dallas said he understood and was fine with it. Dallas did ask that we take one last picture of him.</div>

Just for fun, I looked back and found these pictures from the first summer (2013) we had Sha.<br />

Reba asked a few weeks ago (maybe a month ago) if I would curl her hair again once it got long enough. I explained to her that it was already long enough, we just had to find the time to do it! I curled it over Labor Day weekend, and quickly realized I needed more of the larger rollers. I finally remembered to pick up another pack this past week while in town, so that meant it was time to try it again!</div>

Her buddy, Calvin, complimented how nice her hair looked as soon as he got in the van this morning, and the principal also raved about it in the drop off line. When she got home this afternoon, she said quite a few of her friends and other teachers also said they liked her curls. Now, we'll have to find another night that I get her through the bath early enough that there is time to roll all that hair before bedtime!<br />

The ground was so dry and hard to dig since we haven't had a decent rain all month, so Daddy did all the digging! It wasn't our best crop of sweet taters, but I'm sure we are going to have plenty to get us through the year. And we will have enough to make some baby food for Number 4.<br />
<br />
After we were done digging, we went to check on the fruit trees. Unfortunately, our peach trees produced absolutely nothing this year. (Insert sad face) Our apple tree on the other hand, put on a handful of apples. One looked perfect, so Dallas picked it!<br />

We are so proud of Reba and her success in Kindergarten! Each day, she starts on "green", and she has the chance to either "clip up" with good choices/behavior/participation or "clip down". Here is what her chart looked like this week.</div>

She "clipped up" to the pink level each day for a whole week! She is the first in her class to do so, and because of that, she got to pick a prize out of the treasure chest. She chose a Dora the Explorer playing card set. It came with the games "Crazy 8's" and "Go Fish".<br />
<br />
She was so proud of herself, and Doug and I are extremely happy with her work too. We pray that she always loves school this much, and that she wants to set a positive example for those around her.<br />

Holy Moly! We are almost to the end of this pregnancy...here is what I'm looking like these days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT33hyrpowVzRUUTazZl96dk_PwqqtVJXSJs_1vLogrF3RYssRV5l7HeA0upBSdD4Kdt_B1It9FdWuK_M5_TLoAafQkoo7GQrSPTvcJ0M9mlKBhtCmZcvLuYYzsXc7sakUG_3I7kGmtBz7/s1600/DSC09359+%2528800x600%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT33hyrpowVzRUUTazZl96dk_PwqqtVJXSJs_1vLogrF3RYssRV5l7HeA0upBSdD4Kdt_B1It9FdWuK_M5_TLoAafQkoo7GQrSPTvcJ0M9mlKBhtCmZcvLuYYzsXc7sakUG_3I7kGmtBz7/s320/DSC09359+%2528800x600%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When people ask how I'm getting along, my typical response is that I'm "hanging in there." I don't feel bad, but I don't feel great. The baby has really slowed down on its movement in the last week, and I have slowed down as well! I am having contractions here and there, and I'm having quite a bit of back pain. I'm also experiencing pain/pressure in my upper inner thighs (sorry if that's too much info), but I don't remember this same pain/pressure with the other pregnancies. I started feeling this particular pain while at the Kentucky Fair, but then it went away after 2-3 days. Then, other day my foot slipped out from under me when I stepped on the garage floor with a somewhat wet shoe. I didn't do the splits, but it was the start of them. I was able to catch myself, but it definitely flared up this pain again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Last week, at my check-up, I saw the Nurse Practitioner, Ashley, because Dr. Alvey was on vacation. Ashley did the Strep Group B test (and I found out today that it came back negative). She also checked my progress, and said that my cervix was beginning to soften, but she would not call it dilated to a 1. She also made no mention of effacement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I had my weekly check up with Dr. Alvey. She checked me and said that I was dilated to a 1 or 1.5, and that I was 60% effaced. She also brought up the topic of induction, and how I felt about it. I said that we (Doug and I) have no objections to being induced...seeing as the first 3 all came that way! Dr. Alvey did say that she can't induce labor before 39 weeks, so we still have 2 weeks before we can consider that route.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, while Dr. Alvey was checking the heartbeat of the baby, it was rather fast. It was up around and above 180 beats/min. Typically the baby's heart rate has been around 150. Dr. Alvey listened for a bit longer, and it didn't really slow down. She ordered for me to have a non-stress test where I was hooked up to a monitor for about 20 minutes to record the heart rate and movement. During that time, the baby's heart rate had returned to normal. The monitor even showed I had a contraction during the test! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did feel like I was on Jeopardy, because I had this cool little button to push each time I felt the baby move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Alright...So, enough of that...<br />
<br />
I did dig out a particular shirt this morning for my 37 week picture! I had to wear it to give you all a good comparison of each pregnancy.<br />

<em><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are some helpful tips when thinking of your guesses. My due date is Oct. 7, and this has changed. I originally thought I was due at the end of October. With Julianne, my due date was Dec. 5, and did not changed during the pregnancy. She was born on Dec. 6th - by induction. Julianne weighed 7 lb 12 oz and was 21 in long. With Reba, my due date was Nov. 19th and did not changed during the pregnancy. She was born on Nov. 17th - by induction. Reba weighed 7 lb 4 oz and was 20 in long. With Dallas my due date was originally March 24th, then it was moved to March 4th. Dallas arrived March 11th - by induction. Dallas weighed 8 lb 8 oz and was 21.5 in long.</span></em><br />

This week was the second week for Reba to bring home her "Book in a Bag" homework. The bag contains beginning reader level books for the kiddos to practice their reading at home. Last week, the book was super simple for her (The only words were: The mouse can. The monkey can. {Repeat}). This week was a bit more of a challenge, but still pretty easy for her. Make sure your volume is turned up high, because she reads pretty softly.</div>

Remember me telling about Dallas' <a href="http://drbergman.blogspot.com/2015/08/nothing-much.html">spelling menu activities</a> he has to complete each week? This week, one of the choices was called Sky Writing. We put shaving cream on the table, and he was on "Cloud 9" <strike>playing</strike> writing his spelling words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY4fzkZec0eRMnm_FTGL7rprx9uDiUa7TYKRt7JYwhLEgr8QvoaP2cC62tI9Qjc2R8a0HaCj7UX2muoO66l_uBLdo3fjsycdbOv3hc5oDnP95xV8cOHvJAnrPTsmLATLViiHq2p1BeOQwn/s1600/20150917_063116.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY4fzkZec0eRMnm_FTGL7rprx9uDiUa7TYKRt7JYwhLEgr8QvoaP2cC62tI9Qjc2R8a0HaCj7UX2muoO66l_uBLdo3fjsycdbOv3hc5oDnP95xV8cOHvJAnrPTsmLATLViiHq2p1BeOQwn/s320/20150917_063116.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I will admit, I am quite jealous at how natural of a speller Dallas is. Spelling was never (and still isn't) a strong subject for me. Each week, the teacher gives a pre-test to determine what words they receive for the next week. She uses three different levels (lists) that she assigns based on each student's pretest score, and I'm proud to report that Dallas has been on the most challenging list each week! I hope that he always continues to excel with his spelling - instead of relying on auto correct like his Momma.<br />
<br />

This weekend was our church's annual summer social, which the kiddos have been talking about nonstop for the last 2 weeks! I had volunteered to work in the bounce house area on Saturday evening. Before we left the house, I was doing chores when I watch storm clouds "roll" pass us. There were maybe 10 drops of rain that fell here at the house, but in St. Wendel, it was a down pour with hail! Luckily, the social hadn't started, mass was still going on, and the rain was over by the time mass finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When the kiddos and I arrived, the air had definitely cooled down. So much so, that I loaded them back into the van to go home and get the kiddos in long pants and grab sweatshirts for everyone! We then headed back and let the fun begin. Julianne and Momma got something to eat, and Dallas and Reba headed straight for the bounce houses. Once Julianne finished her hot dog, she was ready to get in the bounce house with the others.</div>

Sugar did very well until she got plowed over by someone, then she was done and wouldn't entertain the idea of getting back in - even when Reba was the only one in that bounce house!<br />
<br />
Dallas spent the evening floating back and forth between the bounce houses and the dunk tank. Thankfully, they were right next to each other, and I could keep an eye on him while I was working the bounce house area.<br />

Sunday morning, after church, we came home to change clothes and get Julianne a nap before returning to the activities. We were all thrilled to learn Daddy had the day off and got to join us in the fun! We first enjoyed the fabulous fried chicken dinner they serve, and then we made our way to the bounce houses (again)!<br />
<br />
There was not too many kiddos in the area, so I thought I would let Julianne try the slide. Guess what!?!? She loved it!!!<br />

She couldn't quite climb up the "steps" by herself, but Daddy gave her a helping hand. Reba desperately wanted to go down with her (either side by side or one in front of the other), but Sugar would have no part in that! Julianne would even "push" Reba down the slide so she would be out of the way.<br />

Dallas was somehow able to get Julianne to go down with him (one time), but I don't think Julianne was very happy about it.<br />

The church sells tickets which are needed in order to play the games (dunk tank, plinko, coin toss, and pick a duck). This year, I bought Dallas and Reba each a pack of 25 tickets. Dallas spent all of his on the dunk tank, and Reba spent all of her at the plinko and pick a duck. She did let Julianne pick a couple of the ducks, but Reba kept the tokens that were won.<br />

Julianne finally crashed for a nap about 5 this afternoon. She only slept about 45 minutes, but something is better than nothing!<br />

Dallas was actually pretty nervous this morning before school about taking this test (as in he was in tears and didn't want to go). He has one of these reading tests every Friday, and unfortunately, he hasn't had much success with them. His teacher has had him retake 2 of them because he had such low scores, but not today...Today, he got a 100%! To celebrate, we had strawberry milkshakes for an after school snack.<br />
<br />
In addition to the awesome test score, check out what else came home today...<br />

Yep, she is all white; just like the set we had last year. Here is where the story becomes interesting...it is NOT the same set of parents as last year's set, but there is relation. The ewe that lambed the Natural Colored last year (Crackerjack), is the mother of the ewe that lambed this year's set. The rams (fathers) of these Natural Colors are NOT the same. <br />
<br />
The Natural Colored gene is a recessive gene; therefore both the mother and father must be carriers of the recessive gene to produce a Natural Colored lamb. If you think back to basic biology and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square">Punnett squares</a>, you might be able to understand it all...maybe. <br />

In this example, the upper case W is the dominate gene for white lambs, and the lower case w is the recessive gene for non-white (black) lambs. There is a 75% chance that this set of parents will have produce a white lamb, and a 25% chance they will have a black lamb. Also, you will notice that there is a chance that their lamb would not be a carrier of the recessive gene (WW), and there is a chance that the white lamb would be a carrier of the recessive gene (Ww).<br />
<br />
Now, if you are really into biology, and are curious what could happen if we used one of these Natural Colored Rams...I made some Punnett Squares to demonstrate what could happen.<br />

Should the ewe not be a carrier of the recessive gene (WW), you would get a white lamb, and it would be a carrier of the recessive gene. If the ewe was a carrier of the recessive gene (Ww), then you would have a 50% chance of getting a white lamb, and a 50% of getting another Natural Colored.</div>

Doug's uncle hosted a cookout at his house this afternoon. Thankfully, Doug didn't have to work, so we made the trip north yesterday. One of the reasons for the get-together was that Doug's uncle and aunt were "home" from Florida. We were all quite surprised when Julianne allowed Uncle Danny (the one that lives in FL) to hold her hand as they walked across the yard, and she even let him carry her down the stairs to the basement!</div>

Sugar can't get enough of him! (and luckily, Otis takes the "cuddles" all in stride)<br />

Daddy had a rough day at work yesterday. They started harvesting, but only one of the 3 combines was able to run. We thought we would cheer him up this morning with a picture.</div>

This evening, Reba helped me dig the carrots out of the garden! I was very pleased with how they did.</div>

I think these carrots will be destined to become baby food for Number 4 and a carrot cake for everyone else!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

All that is left in the garden are a few bell pepper plants and the sweet potatoes. I think I'm going to wait for the weather to cool off before digging them.<br />

This morning marked the re-opening of our church! After 8 long months, we are finally back to celebrating mass in the church and no longer in the gym of the school. This morning, Father held a special prayer service for the care of God's creation. The students and staff were able to attend, and I thought it would be lovely for Julianne and I to go as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Julianne did fairly well - she liked being able to sit on the pew (and not someone's lap) and she loved being able to stand on the kneelers to see. She also got pretty excited when she spotted "Beb" (Reba) - in the center with a white shirt.<br />

As I was cleaning up from supper, I heard Doug trying to coax Julianne up into his lap. Then, I heard him telling Reba not to get down but to stay. I popped head around the corner just to see what was going on...and this is what I found!</div>

I'm not sure where Number 4 is going to fit, but I'm pretty positive he will find plenty of space.<br />

Our church's summer social is in a couple weekends, and new this year is a Baby Photo Contest. One of the gals in charge, called and asked if I would be willing to submit a photo of our little one. She actually called a few weeks ago, I just kept forgetting about it. Well, she sent me a text this morning as a final reminder, so I dressed Sugar and headed out hoping to get a good picture to submit. These were the ones I liked the best...</div>

We spent this weekend in Louisville at the Kentucky State Fair. Doug, the kiddos and I headed over after school on Friday afternoon. We met up with Pa-paw, Ma-maw, Aunt Lisa and Kylie for supper. We then headed back to the hotel to get a good nights rest before the show early Saturday morning. Overall, Doug and I were very pleased with how our lambs did. Thanks once again to Ma-maw for taking pictures and sharing them with me - so I can share them with you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Friday afternoon, a few different individuals came to give Pa-paw some pointers on what to do with Crackerjack (how to fit him for show). See we had not cut off much of his fleece because we were under the impression the longer, the better. Apparently, that is not the case...so those individuals, helped trim him down and get him ready.</div>

Pa-paw even tried hand-clipping, but I think he quickly remembered why he doesn't do it (or someone took the shears away)<br />

The Natural Color show and the Polled Dorset show both started at 8 a.m. Crackerjack's class came up first, and he won it! We kept waiting for the ram champion drive, hoping that it would come before our Dorset rams started showing, but it did. Doug and I were in the ring when our class was called for Ice Cube and Clark.<br />

Thankfully, Pa-paw and Aunt Lisa's ram was in a different class, so they were able to take the boys in the ring for us. Kylie met us at the edge of the ring to take Crackerjack (whom did not win), and we then jetted to the Dorset ring. I started out helping Dallas with Ice Cube, and Pa-paw and Doug had Clark. Only Clark was not being very cooperative, so I thought I would try and switch places with Doug.<br />

Clark actually made it into the premium (front line) in his class! I think if he would not have been so onry, he would have placed a bit higher.<br />

Reba then had to go to the bathroom right before they called our class, so Sugar stepped in to help! This was her first time going into the ring, and I'm proud to report she did great.<br />

Dallas (and Daddy) showed Elizabeth, and he did great once again. Doug and I are so proud of the confidence Dallas gained in the show ring this summer. I hope that he continues to enjoy showing sheep, and that he continues to be fearless in the ring.<br />

Today, we returned to the fair for the overall grand drive. We didn't have anything in the drive, but Aunt Lisa was asked to be a judge for the grand drive. She said, no; so apparently, they wanted me to judge. I wasn't confident in doing it, so that left Pa-paw. He didn't want to do it either, so he pleaded with a friend of ours, Will, do take his place. Since Aunt Lisa and I both said no to being a judge for the grand drive, we were then asked to judge the Wool on Parade class. It is a class where individuals wear clothing made of American wool as they lead a lamb (wearing a coordinating piece). They are judged on the construction of their garment, the presentation of their garment (modeling in the ring), control of their lamb, as well as the appearance of their lamb. It was a fun time, and I'm glad I was able to help with it.<br />

This afternoon while playing outside, Dallas noticed quite a few cicada "shells" on the tree close to the swing set. He was able to pull a few off himself, and then he enlisted my help to gather a "few" more.</div>

He proceeded to display them on the picnic bench on the swing set. I think he ended up with 15 or more shells when it was all said and done.<br />

Once again, everything is progressing as it should, and this little one is very, very active! It will wake me multiple times at night with its acrobatic moves. I guess I should look at this as preparing me for those night time feedings. I am also continuing to experience heart burn when I lay down at night. I don't remember having much when I was pregnant with Dallas, I had some at the end of my pregnancy with Reba, I had quite a bit from the end of the 1st trimester on with Julianne, and I have had it from the get go with this one!<br />
<br />
Dallas and Reba love to cuddle up beside me and place their hands on my belly waiting for the baby to move. They also love telling the baby good night and that they love it. Julianne will point to my belly on occasion and say, "Baby". We'll see how she adjusts once the little one is here.<br />
<br />
Until next time...Rajean B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14767184579643163763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7515022859467227821.post-71482135983136398822015-08-26T14:05:00.000-05:002015-09-14T21:47:17.574-05:00Arm Full<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I haven't blogged much about the kittens lately, but they are doing quite well. They haven't gotten as much attention as one would think they would living with 3 small children. To be honest, they are actually pretty skittish. Dallas was able to catch 3 out of the 5 this afternoon.</div>

Four of the five finally have names:<br />
The all orange one is Dan-Dan (after Daniel Tiger - Julianne picked that one)<br />
The mostly white and pale yellow one is Candy (picked by Reba)<br />
The white and darker yellow one is Otis (picked by Dallas)<br />
The gray one is Margaret (picked by Reba)<br />
and the Black one is yet to be named (and to be picked by Dallas)<br />
<br />

Yep, Reba has mastered climbing the rope! In this video, it was actually her second time doing it so she didn't quite make it to the top, but you get the "picture"<br />

It won't be much longer and Ice Cube will be going back to Pa-paw's house. I'm thinking Julianne is going to miss her friend...</div>
