The Last Trimester: Week 28


Wow, I can't believe the last three months are already here.  It has gone by quickly overall. Some days seemed never-ending, but not too many of them. 

We have signed up for our baby prep classes and have most of the stuff we really need from Day 1.  Our crib and dresser/changing table arrived yesterday.  Scott's "Be Prepared" Dad book says that a drawer could have worked in a pinch if the crib was delayed somehow. (Good to know...)

According to What to Expect, the average size of a baby this week is about 2 1/2 pounds and 16 inches tall.   And he makes his large presence known often.  His trick this week is blinking.  They say the babies can also have REM sleep. I wonder if his dreams are as weird as mine, or if they all involve darkness and heartbeat sounds. 

We haven't taken a photo in a while, but I measured 38" around earlier this week. Scott asks why I keep hiding a beach ball under my shirt. :)  Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the new year.

Cravings:  Cottage Cheese

Funny and Odd:  Last night I had a dream that our baby acted like a baby for everyone but me, and when I had him by himself he was a Russian Spy and he could talk and drink and kept messing up my attempts to swaddle him.  I don't even know where that came from!

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
