Personality insight?

(Not an extremely flattering picture, but I got over that years ago:)

I was thinking last night about how different every pregnancy/baby has been for me. Some babies have been very (VERY) active and aggressive in the womb (Timothy and Claire) and some have been gentle and calm. This sweet babe falls into the gentle category. I have wondered about that being insight into the coming personality. Tim and Claire have also been my most daring kids! Those two have no natural fear of anything! Molly and Maddie have both always been more cautious and calm in comparison. Then some babies like to move more at night (Molly, and this babe) and some move more in the day. That also makes sense because Molly is now my biggest night owl (like her mama!). My cravings during pregnancy have also lined up with what each child likes to eat once they are here. An example would be that when I was pregnant with Tim, for the first time in my entire life, I wanted meat! The boy LOVES meat. I wonder if it is really possible to sense what a new babe will be like by how they act in the womb? Has that been your experience? So far I'm thinking I have a laid back, night owl, who loves vegetables. I can't wait to hear some of your stories! xo, Sam

Well I only have one baby I knew in pregnancy too, but this seems to be true for her. I craved vinegar and salt chips, pickles, olives, giardinara veggies and hot and sour soup. To this day, 20 years later, those are her favorite foods! And she would rock out when I would sing with the band on worship team. And now she is even a better singer than I am. She had hiccups all the time when I was pregnant and still, if she gers laughing, she will hae uncontrollable hiccups! Yep, same kid!

I absolutely believe that you can tell the child's future personalities. Both my kiddos have personality traits and likes/dislikes that match up to how they acted while in my belly and what I ate. I'm still a week or 2 away from baby #3's movements being felt, but in my moments of preggo mommy worry, he/she has let me know it is there and alive. But so far ultrasounds are showing a very calm and sleepy baby ... a very nice change from my two active kiddos!

One of the things that sticks out most to me is when I was pregnant with my second born, Ryley, I couldn't eat anything with tomatoes in it. It was so strange because I love tomatoes, but they made me so sick during my pregnancy with him. Then when he was born he had eczema, and we learned that tomatoes are one of the foods that makes eczema flare up.

Oh my, Sam, I had never thought abt this until reading this. Sawyer kept me up all hours of the night and she is my night owl. I craved chocolate - Famous Amos chocolate chip pecan cookies and cocoa krispies. She has the biggest sweet tooth ever. You can motivate her to do ANYTHING for chocolate. Gibson actually was still from 11 pm to 7 am - the best sleep I ever got while pregnant. When he goes down, he's out within 5 min and up at the same time every morning. He likes a schedule :) I craved peanut butter with him and that kid does not think his day is complete without a PB&J for lunch.

So true - with my first, if I leaned against a table or something, she would push against it. She would also push against my ribs - ouch! To this day, at 14, she is still just as stubborn and persistent. ;)

Aww...yes, I often felt I knew my little ones by the time they were born, and I recognized things about them and felt I 'got' who they were from the very beginning. :)

I think that it is funny that I disliked meat (look, smell, feel, taste) intensely when I was pregnant and all my son has ever wanted was MEAT, MEAT, and more MEAT!! In order to get veggies into him when he was little, I had to grate the veggies and mix them in ground meat or chicken! LOL He's better now. But he is 17 and eats us out of house and home!!!

I think this is so true (in my experience) and I also found with my four that their labour and birth also seemed to refelct their personalities...my eldest was two weeks overdue and now he is a cautious boy who takes his time over things, whereas my second child was born in a sudden whoosh and is now a daring and adventurous girl who wants to try everything right now!! :)

My first daughter was very quiet in the womb and was also out until they are 2 years old that does not stop there and energy is great.

Now with my second pregnancy I felt a lot more movement in my belly and I'm waiting to hear how it will be out ....

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
