Most Days I Feel Like This...

Lately, I am feeling quite like this picture. I'm at the point where I'm SO ready to NOT be pregnant anymore, but not ready to have a newborn yet. :) I make sound effects every time I move--moans and groans. Sleep is not pleasant. It's hard to breathe. I am tired of my limited wardrobe. I bet you're glad you don't live with me. Thanks to my loving husband for being so patient with me. He's been so wonderful to help me with Connor and all of the housework I struggle to keep up with. I'm so lucky to have him. Only 5 more weeks to go! Now here's the scary question...are we ready to handle 2 kids? I guess we'll find out soon!

Like Father, Like Son

It's so fun that Connor is old enough to go fishing with his dad. This weekend, Connor and Jake went to a local pond and caught 20 fish! Here are two little ones they brought home. We're just lucky Connor didn't dive in the water; Jake said he kept telling him he wanted to go swimming, or "simming" as Connor calls it.

Halloween

Trick or treating was so much fun with Connor this year. Once he understood the concept, that we actually got to go ring peoples' doorbells and pick out a peace of candy, he was so excited! He kept running from house to house shouting "tandy, tandy!" Of course, after a while he got tired of walking and made me carry him from door to door. Being almost 8 months pregnant, I thought I might go into labor, carrying him around for almost an hour, but no. Thanks to all of our neighborhood friends for walking around with us; we had a blast!


Our family was invited to a friend's Halloween party where Jake and I got the chance to dress up. Since I'm well into my pregnancy, we wanted to create a costume with that as the theme. Jake came up with the idea to make an "oven" for me to wear and painted a picture on my belly of a "bun" - get it "bun in the oven?" and Jake dressed as the baker. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a baker/chef''s hat for him to wear, so he wore and apron that said "Impregnate-her Bakery". Happy Halloween everyone!
