Packing Styrofoam : )

Look what Johnathan did before Christmas! : ) This was when we were trying to get Rachel's family gift ready to ship. Fun with clingy styrofoam!

Nathan Update

Nate's getting through the stresses of PhD school and having a family/home life. He is very busy all the time and still manages to make his family feel very special. He's been very sweet to me during this pregnancy. He recently replaced the Alternator and the starter motor on his car. Nice to have a handyman for a husband! He's also now working on cutting a cat door into the utility room downstairs so the kitties can crap in there.

Angie Update

So today I am 38 weeks pregnant! It could be any day now. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy went. It sadly zoomed by. Not much time to think about your pregnancy when you're taking care of a toddler. I'm doing okay other than being very wiped out, recovering from a cold, and having more painful braxton hicks contractions from time to time. Last week, at my midwife appointment, my blood pressure was 90/50...quite low. But it's okay and that's normal for pregnant women. Little Ryan inside is doing great and he moves around A LOT! I love feeling him kick and move. Can't wait to meet him. He's really low and is head down and getting ready to be born. I'm betting he will be 8 and 1/2 pounds. We're trying to get Johnathan ready by talking about baby brother a lot. It's tough being alone with him because he still wants me to run around and throw balls and play swords and wrestle, etc etc. But I'm also trying to enjoy every last day "alone" with him before our home life changes again. Can't believe this pregnancy is almost over. Sad and exciting all at once.

Johnathan Update

Johnathan is saying the funniest things even more now. And his memory amazes me. The other day, about a week after we went to Auto Zone, we were driving and passed it again and he screams out, "Hey! We went there! That's where we got your windshield wipers!" Wow, he remembered the look of the store and what we did there, and we had only been there once ever.
Then later, we passed in front of Kohl's, and he goes, "Kim goes there!" (Kim is our babysitter). Then he goes, "Kim goes there a lot!". So that was funny.
He has an amazing memory. The other day, he was in the back seat and acting like he was ordering from a drive-through restaurant. He was like, "Ummm, No. Ummm, Yes. Ah, that will be it." So funny!

My belly now...32 weeks (Dec 2nd)

Here's my rather large growing belly. : ) Lots of differing opinions. Some people think it's really cute and looks great. Others think it is huge. This was at 32 weeks. I just took my 36 week pictures today...will post later. Getting close now!

After Thanksgiving

We got Johnathan's picture with Santa this year at the Denver Zoo Lights - members preview. We had SO much fun there and it wasn't too cold. The line wasn't that long, and Johnathan wasn't scared of Santa at all! He even looked up at him and said, "I want swords for Christmas!" Then he got a candy cane from him.

Johnathan thought it would be very funny to put on Teresa's boots. We were all laughing pretty hard. Teresa, Rachel, and Rikki were in colorado for a wedding the weekend after thanksgiving so they visited us one afternoon. Had a fun time!

Thanksgiving pictures

Here's Johnathan in the start of the merge to his big boy room. : ) This is what the office used to be (now it's downstairs). This was right around thanksgiving time.

Here's the family on Thanksgiving day. It was beautiful and warm that day, and we played basketball and football outside in the front lawn.

The day after thanksgiving, we all took Johnathan to a place in Littleton called "Pump it up"...a big jumping place for little kids. He had SO much fun.

Look at the static in his hair! Crazy!
