Last Picture before Baby #3 Comes?

Here is a picture of me on Tuesday. Could this be the last picture you guys see of me before baby #3 makes its appearance? Maybe so according to the doctor. The doctor told me at the appointment yesterday that I could go at any time. However, if I do not go before I'm 39 weeks (which is a week from this coming Friday - it would be the 16th) he is going to induce. So we're down to the last few days of pregnancy and I am looking forward to meeting our new little one. If I don't have the baby before my next appt. which is the 13th we will then schedule for induction. Please pray for us as we will have an interesting few weeks ahead!

Baby #3 at 35 Weeks

I had my 35 week checkup yesterday which included an ultrasound. The doctor said that everything looked really good with the baby. They approximated the baby's weight at 6lbs 2oz. The baby has moved down into position so I shouldn't have to have a c-section this time, barring any unforeseen circumstances. The doctor is still telling me he thinks I will go to term. I haven't had any of the pre-term labor or other complications that I had with the twins. Here is the picture we were given from the ultrasound. It is a profile view with the head on the right and the leg over to the left. You can see one eye, one ear and the little nose at the top. Then the belly, the arm laying over the chest then the leg. We were able to see the baby very well, however the picture doesn't show as well as what we were able to see. The baby was moving a lot so it all comes down to when they snap the picture as to what you will get. I decided once I was in there that I wouldn't ask for a 3D picture this time. We've decided we can wait the last 4 weeks out to see what the baby looks like better. We were able to see from the ultrasound that the baby has some hair and also has chubby cheeks (which the ultrasound technician kept commenting on). :-) So the appointment went well and it looks like I'm on track to have a decent sized baby. This one is already bigger than either of my first two were, but still much smaller than the first two were combined. Only 4 weeks to go!

Preschool Fair

Yesterday we took the kids to a preschool fair that they put on each year at the local school. It's a time when several of the preschools come out and set up booths to hand out information about their programs as well as having arts and crafts for the kids to make. They also had a school bus, ambulance, police car and fire truck that the kids could climb on and look around in. They had a really good time and wore themselves out!

How Big Now?

Here is a picture of me from yesterday at 34 weeks. Natalie wanted to be in the picture too! :-)

Pregnancy Update

I told a few of you that I would post how my 32 week check up went. The doctor said everything looks great. So far I have gained 21 pounds, but I'm sure I have a few more to go with the baby gaining most of its weight in the next few weeks. The doctor said I start my 33rd week tomorrow. The time is going by so fast! My next appointment is the 15th and then I will start going every week from then on out. My next ultrasound should be the week of the 21st! I'm looking forward to it! That will be a nice birthday present for Brent!

We hope everyone is doing well!!

Natalie in Curlers

Here's another picture I just thought I would share because it's so cute! I put Natalie's hair up in curlers to see if her hair would hold any curl. Here she's posing for the camera. This is her version of a wink. So cute!

Easter Egg Hunt

Well it wasn't quite as cold this year at the Easter Egg Hunt as it was last year, but it was still pretty chilly. Brandon told me later - "I was so cold this morning that I was shivering". He said this while demonstrating to me how he had been shivering. Some of the words they say really surprise me! They're getting quite a vocabulary.

Dominoes

I just thought this was a cute picture of Daddy on the floor playing dominoes with the kids.

Coloring Easter Eggs

This is the first year we have colored Easter Eggs with the kids. They turned out really well and the kids had a lot of fun!
