31 Weeks

Brian snapped these pictures the other evening. The baby is growing and kicking and kicking! It is really starting to feel close.

My appointments have all been going well. My last one was different. My midwife had another midwife in training with her so she really took her time. She had me lay on my back and was able to show the midwife in training the outline of the baby - which was really neat for me to see too. She pointed out the little feet, legs, back and even found the head which is down now. How was she able to do that??? - she said with it being my third it is easier to find all these things because the walls are thinner. I will have to snap a more official picture soon, while standing, so you can see how HUGE I really am.

Since we think this is our last little baby we will be getting some professional pictures taken in a couple weeks to capture the hugeness of this mama - and I am so excited! I love being pregnant.... can't believe it is almost over.

Snowy KY... yep really snowy!

It seems to snow every year here, but this year has been soooooo snowy! Honestly I am ready for winter to be over now. Being pregnant keeps me from doing some of the really fun things with the kids- like sledding!! I did finally get a sled this year... and now I am seven months pregnant.

These pictures here are from a wagon ride I took the kids on to the coffee shop then we stopped by the park on the way home as we usually do to get the sugar rush out before getting home. Otto didn't want to get out of the wagon - he doesn't like how the snow sticks to him. He's kind of funny and cute like that.

Well... I did it.

I let Eli measure flour, crack eggs, mix and even flip pancakes the other day. Yes, it was a little challenging and the eggs shells that we couldn't find were, well, somewhere in the pancakes. We had fun though and it was good for both of us. My hope is that in the future Eli will be in charge of a meal a week (once he can reach all the knobs w/o a chair that is). Here are some pictures from our little cooking adventure.

Brian took this video... every time I watch it I about bust a gut. Had to share!

Boy Toys

Brian recently picked up this helicopter. Eli and Otto - and Brian too - have had a ton of fun with it. The boys eagerly anticipate Papa arriving home from work so they can fly it together.

The video is from the first day we got it - Otto is the one talking - "I like it! We like it! We both like it! I like it!"

Singing Bear from capture box on Vimeo.

We babysat little baby Meadow the other evening and she left this singing bear. The kids have had a hoot making her sing - I just had to capture it.

Sledding Down Snow Mountains from capture box on Vimeo.

This reminds me of the times we would sled down the ski slopes at Afton Alps... and end up in the parking lot no longer on our sleds do you remember? Patty? Steve???
