27 weeks

We are 27 weeks pregnant today. And oddly enough I am starting to feel a lot better than I had for a LONG time. We are due 3 months from yesterday. While I am very excited, I still can't help but stress about everything we HAVE to get done before she arrives.

Here are some pregnancy pictures from today. G1 decided he wanted to be involved in the pictures--as you will be able to tell. In the last picture he is giving the baby kisses. He is so sweet and just loves his sisters (all 3) so much.

Daddy's big helper

Here is G1 helping hammer in some nails for the flooring for our new laundry room (hopefully should have the room "completely" finished by Wednesday night). Matt said that G1 got pretty good at it. Matt would start the nail (down most of the way) and then let G1 at it. Towards the end Matt would only have to do a quick tap just to make sure it was flat against the floor. My baby boy is growing up!! *On another note--G1 says Marcia correctly now--no more "Dar-da" from him...now it's from G3.

**By the way..G1 dressed himself today. lol

G2 walking!

Nothing real interesting about this video--just felt like sharing a typical evening for me with y'all. Watch G1's face closely.

Pregnancy update

I am 26 weeks along today. I had a doctor's appointment this morning. Everything seems good. I am measuring 28 weeks. Matt says this will be our 10 pound baby--I would be happy to just be able to deliver a 6-7 pound baby. Baby was real active and heart was beating away. It's actually the first time we have heard the heartbeat on the Doppler--we've had ultrasounds at all the other appointments. I will start going in every 2 weeks now until I am 36 weeks and then we will start weekly visits. I can't believe how soon we will have a newborn in the house again.
The doctor gave me some tips on how to ease the discomfort of the varicose veins--most of them I do already so I guess I just have to tough it out for now. He also gave me some medicine to help with the heartburn.

Marcia came up to watch the kids while I was at the appointment (Matt went with me and then left so he could get to work--working 11-11 today.) Then we went to see the fishy at the pet store. The kids all liked that. G1 picked out what ones he wants. We got lunch and ran another errand then came home. The kids laid down for a (late) nap and Marcia and I (mostly Marcia because she's better at this stuff than I am) worked on the stencils for the flowers for the girls' room. After dinner Marcia, Mom and I figured out where we will place the flowers on the walls and started painting. I am so excited for the girls' room to be done. I think it will be absolutely adorable. Once you see it and everyone oohs and aahs over it you will have to tell Marcia how wonderful she is for coming up with the design (and for just being her!). :-)
