baby will be here soon

Weekly visits with my midwife lately. When I went to see her today, she says I'm at 50% and 2 cm dilated. I'm 38 weeks now and measuring at 38 1/2 weeks, but she thinks I'll go to term. I'm sure we'll have an even better idea at my next visit on Monday. Baby and I are healthy. We are finishing up final preparations for baby at home and will be excited to welcome little one whenever he decides to arrive. We'll keep you posted.

Welcoming Warm Weather

We had some cold days lately, but the occasional warm weather has the kids wanting to go outside. I have to admit, I have the windows cracked open today and am ready for spring. Last night we walked to the DQ for the first ice cream of the season. Okay, maybe we're pushing it a little, but Asher can't stop talking about his chocolate ice cream with sprinkles. I certainly enjoyed my hot fudge sundae! Here is a picture of Asher last week...

He could not wait to get outside at the first hint of warmer weather. Once he saw a neighbor boy out on his bike, Asher was bound and determined to get on his bike that day too.

Of course, we still spend most of our time inside. Here is a picture of Asher playing dress up in his "work" outfit.

Fireman has been a new and frequent role lately. Otherwise, he typically is off to "fix" something.

Family in February

Thought I'd put up some recent pictures of us. Here is Asher saying "hi" to baby brother on the 15th of February...

It's just now March, but already I feel much bigger than I was in that picture. Had a good check up today. My midwife says I'm looking good and baby is healthy. I'm 35 weeks and 2 days today and measuring 35 1/2 weeks along. Starting my weekly check ups now. Baby will be here in just a few more weeks now!

Here are pictures of Al and Asher after bath time...



They were taking turns singing into Asher's pretend microphone.
