February

Wow am I worn out!  I've resorted to heating my hips every night, 30 minutes each side to help with my hip pain.  I feel like an old large dog.  You should see me walk in the evenings, it's quite a sight.   I also pretty much take a nap every day to make it through until bed time.  I am so lucky Charlie still takes a nap! 

 

 

 

 

 On Saturdays Dave's been taking the boys out for a couple of hours to give me some time to sleep or just have some time by myself.  It's been really nice and the boys have loved having Daddy to themselves.  On this particular Saturday Dave met up with Adam and his two boys , Josiah and Evan, to go to the Air Museum.  The boys had a blast!

They can't wait to go back and Charlie was so sweet, he insisted I come too so I can see it all

 Such a fun day for them!

 I believe this was a bus.  I love how they can use anything to make anything.  But I mostly LOVE how they play pretty well together and have imaginations!

 Here I am about 33 weeks.  I can't believe how big my belly is and I still have 7 more weeks!!!!!????!!!

 Dave was gone for two weeks this month.  It was awesome to get it all out of the way before the baby comes, and it was great not having to prepare a formal dinner (Charlie and Benny do you want cereal or a sandwich for dinner? :) )  But man did the house get messy. The picture is kind of blurry, but they both have suitcases and say they are going to Malaysia.

My mom flew up for the weekend to help me get everything ready for True's arrival.  we washed all the clothes, got the furniture wiped down and set up.  His room was a DISASTER before she arrived and looks perfect and ready for a baby now.  Thanks mom and Jenny for all your help.  With my current energy level it would have taken me weeks to do what we accomplished in one weekend!  Plus the boys got to spend some time with Gams in the evenings.  It was a win-win for all of us!



Other funny Charlie story:

So every week I get an email telling me how big the baby is and what the baby looks like (in a cartoony/real life way), and what the baby is doing.  It was around this time I was showing Charlie a picture of the baby and telling him all the information, when he looked at me and said, "Where's the baby's clothes?"  I said, "well the baby doesn't have any clothes while he's in my belly"  Charlie was dumbfounded and for the first time a little speechless.  the look on his face was priceless.  He then asked, "What about a diaper?"  I said, "Nope buddy, no diaper either.  But when he comes out we'll put a diaper on him and some clothes."  Love all these little things we just skip right over.  It was a couple of months prior we talked about how the baby won't have any teeth and the boys thought that was pretty interesting too.


A couple of months ago he asked how the baby comes out.  I told him when God decides True is ready, then he will come out.  A couple weeks later we were on the freeway about to get off and he said something like, "So momma when it's time for True to come will God's voice come out of a cloud and say  (and he deepened his voice and spoke loudly), "Miss Michelle go to the hospital it's time to have your baby?"  With my straightest face I said, "no hunny, God won't say that.  But I'll know when it's time"  I LOVE THIS BOY!!!
