Come on baby!


ITS ALMOST TIME!
Only 13 days left until our little baby boys due! From fear of having 3 children I have been more than happy to have this pregnancy take a long time. Its not that I didn't want to have this baby boy join our family, its just the thought of having 3 kids is an overwhelming thought. When I found out I was pregnant I said to myself, "I still have 9 long months to go, plenty of time to prepare myself". That attitude actually made the 9 months fly by. Now that I'm down to the last stretch and can't wait to get this little guy out of me it feels like everyday crawls by. My cervix are thinning and I'm having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions, so hopefully that's a sign that things are getting ready. I actually have loved my last two experiences of giving birth so that's another reason I'm wanting to get this show on the road. We're not 100% sure about his name so we'll blog that when he gets here.

VIOLET & JUDE
My kids are the cutest. They are so good!
Violet just started preschool for 3 afternoons a week and loves it. She is in the same class as her cousin Jaxon. She's a really good sister, wanting to give her little brother kisses and hugs and show him how to do things. She's looking more and more like a little girl and less and less like a toddler.
Jude decided to crawl out of his crib last month so until a couple days ago he was sleeping in his playpen (shorter fall). Below is a picture of when Violet had crawled into his playpen to cuddle. Now that Jude is in a toddler bed half the time he crawls in bed with his sister. After we put the kids to bed we always hear Violet saying in her high pitched talking to a baby voice "Jude its okay, its time to sleep...". She's such a good big sis. Jude is also talking like crazy and always has a bruise from trying to jump off something or crawl up on something.

I just spotted your blog from Kacy's. You look so cute! That pic shows that you're almost ready. When I've seen you at church he didn't seem so big. He must have grown a lot this past month! I think I'm putting my foot in my mouth. Is there any chance I can fix this comment!? You don't look big or huge or anything, just bigger than I remember and just perfect for delivery. There. However...I don't think I helped my case at all. ;) :)

I didn't see you at church today. Did I miss seeing you or were you not there? I hope all is well. Take care. ~Karen

Enjoy these last few days. I remember getting kind of antsy for baby number 3 to come and then when she finally arrived there were times when I would look back to the before and think at least I was getting more sleep. At one point I had just had enough of being pregnant and I told Ken as he was walking by, "Is this baby ever going to come?". My water than broke not 5 minutes later.

Hey there neighbor! You are so close! Let me know if you need anything. You know where to find me and don't hesitate! I'd love to hold a baby while mommy takes a shower or something and the kiddos could play. The couple times your kids have been outside Kylie has been dying to come play (eventhough when she gets there things might be a touch different ha ha ha)! Let me know if you need anything!
