Team Turner Updates

We've had so much going on over the past few months - here are the highlights....
  • SAHM, I am!!! I quit my job a month ago and have been loving every minute of being a Stay at Home Mom. The hours are long but being paid in kisses and hugs is the best ever. The kids are more at ease and the stress level has decreased more than we could have imagined. Neighbors were actually asking about all of the cars coming and going from our house all the time. At one point we were employing our nanny, our housekeeper, a private chef, a personal organizer and the yard crew. Not to mention the coming and going of grandparents and everyone else. Casey's job is definitely not a 9 am -5 pm, Monday to Friday gig. 24 hour shifts are hard on everyone. It just got to be too much and it made sense for us to scale back and focus on the babies - the other stuff would fall into place. I highly recommend being at home and loving on babies all day! If only we'd done this earlier!

  • Baby #3 is trucking along. I'll be 26 weeks in 3 days. We did find out this one is a boy so Mason will have a wrestling partner and Daddy will have another hunting buddy. We are DEFINITELY DONE after this one. I will have my tubes tied immediately following the C-section to deliver Baby X....we are not even close to deciding upon a name. My gestational diabetes has returned, however that was not a surprise based on how I was feeling. I asked my doctor to test me early and sure enough my blood sugar was jacked! Baby #3 also endured a bad fall out of the shower on to the bathroom floor. The fall earned me a trip to Labor and Delivery at the hospital for the day - but everything checked out okay. Lets just say the fat on my ass finally worked to my advantage! Go Rica!

  • Hailey and Mason are "toof farmers". Mason has 12 teeth fully in with #13 and #14 edging through - #15 and #16 may be poking through by the end of the weekend. Hailey is cutting her 13th tooth now. I'll be glad when we get a little relief before our 2 year molars pop up.

More updates (there are other items to share) and of course pics to come soon...we had one of the most trying evenings yet today and Mommy is TIRED!!!
