Dad's 50!


On Jan. 25th dad turned 50! We celebrated by taking him out to Milestones for dinner just Mom, Tim, Julie, Aaron and I! It was very nice! My MIL watched Lilah so we could enjoy our evening out, thanks again:) By the way the cigar ages you by at least 10 years;)

Mom and Dad

So I did this last year when mom and dad took their vacation to Mexico so I thought I'd do it again this year! I still wish it was me in the pictures but my turn will come.

Mexico 09 Pictures!

The happy couple!
I think this is the view from their room! Looking out over the pool to the ocean.
One of these is their room. Mom just loved all the flowers on every balcony.

They celebrated dad's 50th birthday down there!
Mom did her yoga every morning looking out over the ocean, and absolutely loved it!


A little more tanned in this pic!

Getting Closer!

36 week belly. Only 24 days to go! And it couldn't come fast enough. I am sooo ready for this baby to be out. My back and hips get so sore by the evening and even though Aaron's massage feels wonderful it just doesn't do enough to make the dull ache go away:( I would love to have a nap every day like I did in the end of my pregnancy with Lilah but that's just not possible. Especially with Lilah no longer taking naps:( This week has been especially hard on me with mom and dad being away and having to watch the store every day and take care of Lilah and cook and clean. Friday still seems far away, that's when they get home. I do hope they are enjoying their time away in Mexico and the warm sun! I'm a little jealous. Actually I'm a lot jealous! Aaron's been very busy as well, working full time at Ashley and doing all the farm/chicken stuff. Lots of cutting and wrapping (which I've been trying to help with.) Julie has also been a big help. She's been collecting and cleaning the eggs every day. I absolutely cannot collect them anymore. Squatting down and picking them and carrying them all the way from the barn, not gonna happen! I've been having lots of braxton hicks contractions lately and going down and up only makes them worse and more of em! I've noticed that I haven't dropped yet, unfortunately he is still sitting really high which gives me lots of heartburn. I guess this post is just a lot of complaining? So on the upside I am getting very excited to meet this little guy! We have decided on a name! But its in disclosed at this point, you will all have to wait! Katie sent over a ton of newborn clothes that Aaron has already grown out of! So nice of her to lend them to me. I don't have to buy a thing for the first few months. My cousin Echo also lent me a bunch of newborn boy clothes, so nice! Anyway, Lilah's got my camera so I'd better go check on her;)

34 weeks!

So here we are just 5.5 weeks to go, roughly! Definitely starting to feel finished now and ready! I've been nesting a little bit lately, cleaning, organizing, and washing baby boy clothes. My home birth kit is ready to go. I saw the midwife today and every things looking good. I've gained 23.5lbs. which is 3lbs. less than at this time with Lilah:) Makes me happy. My belly measures 32cm. The baby's head is down, thankfully and I'm not getting kicked in the ribs anymore like I was. Now I just feel his knee pushing out my side and a lot of movement really low down like hands and head, which is very uncomfortable. My lower back has been bothering me these last few days, especially by the end of the day. A hot bath helps and a massage from Aaron (I've only had a few of those;) I go for a prenatal massage on Friday, Oh Bliss, I can't wait!
My patience has been running very low when it comes to Lilah. She has decided to stop napping in the afternoon:(
I put her to bed but she just plays or whines and cries until its time to get her out. I'm going to miss my quiet peaceful afternoon time. And than when it comes time for bed at night she's again very resistant. She's been a cranky, naughty girl these past 5 days from not napping, the only up side is she now sleeps in til 8 or 9am!! She knows exactly what buttons of mommy's to push, she's too smart.
She's getting very excited to meet her baby brother and asks a lot to look at my tummy. She makes sure to let me know that the baby needs a soother when he comes. She found one I bought in the cupboard.

Someone likes to play dressup!
