  1. Hey! You might remember I had a similar issue with Autumn being small. My high risk doc told me to eat shakes and hamburgers. He said he never usually gives pregos free reign on their diets, but he told me to have at it. Boy did I. I had a lot of Strawberry Shredder Smoothies from Smoothie King, because they have a ton of protein (30+ g). It was nice to not worry about what I was eating or my weight gain. Of course I gained 45 lbs and little Autumn was only 5lbs. Oh well, it came off in time. Lots of rest, fluids, and protein should be a good mix for you and Clara.

  2. What a cute homeschool room! Homeschooling is not something I ever planned on either, but it's now suddenly something we're considering (but we are not out of the closet on that, exactly, at this point) for a number of reasons. For now, I'd just plan on doing whatever is best for your kids, and decide later what exactly that means to you and Brandon! Thanks for sharing the links, hope everything was okay on the last ultrasound! You're getting so close!!

  3. This would be a HUGE sacrifice for me, but if you need me to bring you a DQ blizzard, I would be happy to oblige :)
