Friends and Fun

I think I bore this kid to death. He is such a social little guy and when we spend our whole day at home he just gets cranky and so do I...like today. He wants to play outside but it's cold and rainy and I'm tired and boring.

Good thing he has lots of friends so we don't have too many days of just the two of us! Plus there are not that many days left until he will be sharing every moment with someone else...I don't think he will enjoy that as much though! Here he is with buddy Corbin, couldn't let Corbin take a bath alone!
Having popcorn with Cousin Nathan.
Matching jammies and matching trouble makers!
Playing with Arlo who comes over every Monday while his momma gets some work done.
We sure are thankful for our friends who make our days more fun. Too bad today is not one of those days. I think we will be heading off for an early nap here shortly.

Valentine's Day

I have no problem with this Holiday that people either seem to LOVE or HATE with a passion. I have never sat in a bar throwing garbage at the couple next to me who are making out, I mean, seriously, who would DO that? Pretty much the holiday is fine, as long as you don't have high expectations. One time in high school I thought that perhaps my stoner boyfriend would remember he had a girlfriend on Valentine's Day and get me a little something. By product of being high all the time, you sometimes forget you have a girlfriend, by product of being VERY naive, I didn't realize he was high all the time until much later in life. Anyway...I get to school rip open my locker and NOTHING. But after first period I opened that locker and do you KNOW what was in it!? A dozen beautiful roses. I thought my boyfriend had a lobotomy or something. Then I read the card: "From the One guy you can always count on. Love DAD." I still have that little note tucked away. And so to my wonderful husband who shows me everyday he loves me by still cuddling with my gigantic body wearing a super HOT maternity support belt and probably yesterday's sweatpants, don't worry, you can NEVER top that Valentine's Day.

But just in case you wanted to give it a try, I would totally love a double oven. I know they tell you not to buy appliances and such for your wife/girlfriend for Valentine's Day, but you know I'm not that kind of girl, I want one of those oven's in a bad, bad way. I could be in the shower by now rather than waiting to put more cookies in the oven because I have to bake them one tray at a time. If you come home with one of those I will totally take off the HOT maternity belt, and put on fresh sweatpants, just for you ;).

Growing Belly

I haven't posted pictures of my growing belly in over 10 weeks so I figured it was about time to share a few more pictures. Here it is just before Christmas, at 24 weeks:

25 weeks, in my new clothes from my new favorite second hand maternity store:

28 weeks

30 weeks, the countdown is on!

And this week, 32 weeks!

I can't believe there are only 8 weeks left until this little one joins us. To be fair, I'm totally hoping for a couple weeks early this time around, Dietrich waited right up until is due date the little stinker! And I'm in a lot more pain this time so a few weeks early would be nice, but not too early because then I won't be ready! Don't worry, I'm not getting my hopes up, I'm sure this little one will take it's sweet time getting all fat and happy before he/she decides to join us!
