30 Weeks

So we've had a few busy weeks there.  Sorry for the delay in posting.  We are at 30 weeks!  Only 10 more to go.  I passed my glucose test - YAY!!!  Had to get less than 140 and I was at 116.  

30 Weeks - 24 lbs... uggg... so much for only gaining 25 lbs. HA!  Guess we will have another 8+ pounder.

Evan had a haircut to help people to stop calling him a pretty girl.

Jamie had her last day of preschool.  This is her best buddy, Jackson.  His mom and I picked them up together so they could leave together.  Little sweethearts!

Jamie had her ballet recital.  She looked like a little princess. She did such a great job!  She loves to dance!

However, her expression completely sums up her feelings on soccer.  She did NOT enjoy it and wants to sign up for T-ball this fall instead.

We celebrated Mother's Day.  Jamie gave me the pink necklace so I had to plan my outfit around my "statement necklace"  :-)   She is wearing a ballet leotard because she put on a ballet show for us. 

And finally we celebrated Daryl's 36th Birthday.  We had the family over for Pizza and Cake.

It has started off as a busy summer with no signs of slowing!  We went to the pool for the first time this season and Jamie really enjoyed it.  Evan thought the water was too cold so was content sitting on the side, shooting us with the water blaster.

Jamie finished up her Gymnastics for the summer.  She put on a show and then got a medal.

And lastly, we took advantage of the last week of Open Gym at Jamie's Gymnastics studio.  The kids had a blast!  We went THREE days in a row.  Milk it!

Jamie LOVES the rope swing.

Evan liked it so much, we are going to sign him up this fall.

27 Weeks

27 weeks and 20 lbs later and here we are!  I am more uncomfortable this time around because of the space right where my left ribs and stomach muscles meet.  NOT comfy right there.  Hurts almost all the time.  But that's my only complaint so I'm really doing great!

Jamie's leg photo-bombed me... 

 So we took one together.  :-)

 Little man.  Looking so big!

 We had Mother's Tea at Jamie's preschool.  It was such fun.  I can't believe that this week will be her last week of preschool!!!!  Where has the time gone???

Jamie and her artwork today.  She drew a camping scene.  She actually drew scenes from the last time we went camping.  She has a pretty good memory! (apparently, it was too bright for the picture)

26 Weeks

26 weeks, man time is flying!  But boy, is this boy front and center.  My ribs are not feeling too good and heartburn is the worst of any of the 3 pregnancies, but really, everything else is going great!  This kid is a kicker, that's for sure.  Jamie has felt him a few times and has watched him move and thinks it is so cool.  She always comes up to me and asks if Cason is kicking.  She tells everyone "my mom is having another baby and I'm getting a new baby brother!"

My little helper  She is so good at doing her laundry.  She can't reach the rack, so she hangs her clothes on her bunk (in color order, too!) so all I have to do is grab and hang... yes, her closet is color coordinated according to Roy G. Biv, what's your point?

My sweet angel asleep, with Sparkle Kitty and her Light-Up Pillow.  Kid sleeps with enough light to land a plane.

My momma's boy.  :-)  Poor thing has been sick AGAIN.  He has a bad gag reflex so if he coughs too much, he tosses his cookies.  I feel so bad for him.  He is miserable and still smiling.  All he wants to do is snuggle on the couch and if I try to get up?  "Mommy!!!  Snuggle!!!"  How can I resist?

Jamie & Evan taking care of their wheels.  Jamie said she had to get that nasty pollen off her nice car if it was ever gonna compete.  ha!

Their favorite mall activity. Mommy doesn't fit so well anymore, so I warmed the bench while they went for a ride.

Jamie &Evan went to her best guy friend's superhero Birthday party.  They had so much fun!

And for giggles....

24 Weeks

24 weeks and this kid is MOVING!  He is crazy active.  He wants out to play, I think.  :-)  Heartburn came in full swing this week.  You know you are pregnant when vanilla pudding gives you heartburn.

We had a lazy spring break at home.  The most productive thing we did was work on the yard.  The veggie garden is planted and almost all of the flowers have been bought.  All that is left is mulch and then I'll post pictures.

The kids LOVE taking the cushions off the couch.  They had a "picnic breakfast" one morning.  They thought it was great.

Word to the wise.... don't climb on Jamie's back when she is trying to clean her room.  You may end up falling off and hitting your eye on her bed.  Also, don't get in her way at Stevi B's, you may get accidentally pushed into a wall on her way to the cheesy goodness and end up with knot on your forehead....  my poor boy!  All in ONE DAY!!

Jamie has season confusion.... it isn't summer, so winter boots are ok.  

It isn't winter, so a tank top is ok.

23 weeks

MMA fighter Cason has been kicking and punching the daylights out of me here recently.  Kid is AWAKE!  I've gained 14 lbs so far.  I've been going up and down here lately, but that is where I was this morning.  I'd gained 16 with Jamie and 12 with Evan, so I'm right in the middle with Mr. Cason.  So I'm pretty much on par for my usual 30 pound weight gain, and my 8+lb baby, too, I guess.

Poor Evan is still sick.... I am too, but mine isn't too bad, he still has it bad.  During day 9 of his antibiotics, he spiked a fever and has been couching and with a horrible runny nose.  Luckily the fever was only one day, but the poor kid needs a break!  Part of me thinks it is allergies... which we are all suffering from right now.

22 weeks and Easter

Here we are at 22 weeks.  I feel huge and it is only going to get bigger. haha. I did go get a massage today and now I don't feel quite so big since I don't hurt anymore.  :-)

Hope you all had a great Easter!  We started off the weekend with an Easter Egg Hunt!

Evan ran right over to the bunny and gave him a big hug.  I love this shot because you can see his little curls.  My cute little man!

Evan REALLY got into the hunt.  He FILLED his basket.  Jamie just milled around trying to find ones with only chocolate.  I can't blame her for that.

"Hey!  Why is this bag empty?"

 Jamie and I went to Easter service.  Evan would have been crawling under all the seats, so he stayed home with Dad.

Then we had the whole family over for Easter Dinner.

Here are some pics from the Day:

21 weeks

We've passed the half-way point!  Woo Hoo!

And we have a name!!!  Jamie named her new brother Cason.  We didn't have a name, and we liked it so there you go!  The middle name will be James (Daryl's middle name) and then we have the option of calling him C.J.

I have a vicious chest cold, so you will have to forgive the fact that I had no desire to go upstairs and put on the white T & shorts.

I am so ready for all of us to be well.  This head/chest cold has tormented the whole family (including extended family) and we need to be well before Easter since that is one of the holidays that we all spend together and we are hosting it this year (each year, we rotate who will host Easter, July 4th, Thanksgiving & Christmas).  Easter is the best for us since, all of the rest, I will either be huge pregnant or the new wee one will be here.
