Update

I am now just over 33 weeks pregnant and definitely feeling it! The baby is dropping, and the pressure in my legs is getting pretty bad. Braxton Hicks contractions are here to stay (unfortunately) so between that and my sore legs, I am ready for Mr. Timothy to come on out. Bending over is a pain, sitting on the floor is so uncomfortable, trying to carry my 36 pound toddler up the stairs is annoying... you know, I am just at that point where everything hurts! My doctor will not be doing anymore u/s to check his weight, because she said it doesn't really matter. I am having a c-section at 38 weeks, so who cares how big he is. I have a feeling he won't be as big as Matthew, but I still think he is going to be close to that 9 pound range. He is moving a lot more, I guess now that he is getting bigger I can feel his every little move. So, we are in the home stretch. I go to the doctor at 35 weeks, then again at 37 weeks and we are still scheduled for October 26 to have him. 

Andrew is still doing great in school and loving baseball. His best friend, Lucy, is moving and we are so sad. They have been together since they were 5 months old. We are going to miss them terribly, and we are hoping that someone as cool as us and our kids move next door :)

Matthew is a hoot. He says a lot these days, though he is hard to understand. Everything that comes out of his mouth makes me laugh. When he gets mad at someone, he says "bad mommy" or "bad Andrew". He asks so many questions "what are you doing?" "what's that?" "where are you going?" He really has to be in the know at all times. He loves his cars, and wouldn't be caught dead without one. He takes one to bed every night, and has to have one in his pocket when we leave to go somewhere. He loves cars in the same way that Andrew loved Thomas.

We started our fundraising blog for emma grace. It is www.tutusforemmagrace.blogspot.com. We have had a pretty good response. We have signed up to work a few craft fairs between now and the end of the year. We are hoping to do several a year for the next few years until she comes. We are having a lot of fun with it, and we will have some fun stories to share with her when she comes! We finally received our home study, so now we are just missing one document for our dossier. We submitted it to CIS on Friday and it can take up to 90 days to process. Go figure... our government isn't too speedy with things! This is the last form we need and it is nice to know that it is in the mail, now we just wait!

That's it... we are all hanging in there and waiting for this baby boy to come!

Big Boy Bed

The fire truck big boy bed has been a big hit. Matthew sleeps in it all the time and no longer wants the crib. The boys like to put on their fire hats and pretend like they are saving people. So, it is a new toy and a bed!
