January!

Grandma Betty (James mom) was here for about a week, she was hoping the baby would show up but it didn't. James however was really sick this week and she was a lot of help and Luke & Bella enjoyed having an extra snuggle buddy around.
Luke was trying to drink his ice cream through a straw! Funny kid.

Fun with playdough and Mr. Potato head


If you come to our home on any given day you have a 80% chance of finding Bella dressed something like this. The girl is so girlie. The other day she said "Mom don't call me Bella, my name is Ariel and the baby is Aurora".


Let it snow!
We had our first (and hopefully last snow) this year! The kids and James had a blast playing in it. They went sledding on the same hill we did the slip n slide on this year and then made a snowman Luke named the snowman Snow-O and he is still standing strong in our front yard.






We didn't have a proper sled so we used a plastic bin

Playin games after FHE



As you can tell baby is still hunkered in there. I reached 41 weeks on Friday. I now have a lot more compassion for women who go over there due date. I had no idea how stressful/emotional it is. I am pretty sure this baby is not going to voluntarily come out.














Going Bonkers

We took the kids to this massive play place. They loved it but it was hard to keep track of them because it was so big. Of course they got sick a couple days latter.

Final Guess

As many of you know we didn't find out the gender of this baby. I thought it would be fun to get final guesses before he or she actually arrives! So give me your best guess, also we still haven't picked out a girl name so if you have any good suggestions leave them in the comment as well.

I have officially hit 40 weeks and still no sign of baby. I started to get nervous so I scheduled an ultrasound last friday. Baby is doing well and growing fine. They estimate he was 8lb 14oz lucky those can be off by a couple pounds either way I really don't want to give birth to a nine pound baby. Luke was 7lb 11oz and Bella was 7lb 12oz and that was traumatic enough. Anyways I am just trying to keep myself busy so I stop thinking about when this child is going to come and how much it is going to hurt when baby actually does decide to come out.

On a side note we were at IKEA the other day and I was looking at the dish brushes. I turned to Luke and said "what color should I get"? His response was " Mom are those giant toothbrushes"... Funny kid.
