Week 26


98 days to go until little Ashley's due date. HOLY MOLY it makes me tired thinking about it! Good thing I am getting practice this week (and last week) chasing around my 2 1/2 year old niece Kate and Anna during the day. Except when I chase around Anna and Ashley at these ages, I won't be 26 weeks pregnant... well hopefully not :) My hair is looking good- seriously all stay at home mom's reach rock bottom with their upkeep and I just might be reaching that point :)

Feeling good. Just tired. Can't sleep that well at night because my belly is so freaking huge that it makes any position uncomfortable. Other parts of my body put too much weight on other parts, which causes areas on my body to fall asleep and go numb in the oddest places. Going to search for the guest room pillows tonight to lodge around my body- sorry Rob, you now get 1/4th of the bed :) Am craving ANYTHING for dinner that I don't have to cook- I am just over cooking right now... Anna and Kate are wearing me out too much throughout the day to put my effort into a dinner where I will have to spend time cleaning up after.... I also just want a fried buffalo chicken sandwich with EXTRA buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing..... ummmm blue cheese! I asked Rob if he could hire a cook for us for the next 6 months and he just laughed....... from his reaction I take it that I might have an inkling of a shot at this wish!?!?!?!

Ashley is a soccer player for sure- maybe a kick boxer. I remember feeling Anna move inside me, but Anna was NOTHING like this little one. You can always count on Ashley kicking me around 6 am, 6 pm and 9 pm. She is the second child that wants to be heard already :)

Here is a comparison picture to what my belly looked like with Anna. I think I am a lot bigger now then I was with her (I am also smuggling leftovers from Anna all over my body :))


I can't wait to hold this little munchkin (and stare at her while Anna runs around the house drawing on our walls with permanent sharpie marker.....)

Much Love,
Jenny

Sipping

Tonight at dinner, you will NEVER guess what mommy let me do..... she let me try and drink out of her Jayhawk cup ALL. BY. MYSELF!

It was magical!

I pointed at her cup and grunted while signing "more" and this time, she placed it on my high chair.... she didn't leave her hands on it and tip it into my mouth for me; she let me pick the half full glass up on my own. Mommy and Daddy's eyes were HUGE as I picked up the cup with two hands; brought it to my mouth and... drum roll please... took a sip out of it without spilling it all over my face. I then put the cup down and repeated it 9 ( YES 9!) more times!

On the last time, I got a little too comfortable with my new talent that water came pouring over my face, up my nose and drenched my clothes. At that point, the water was all gone and I was given a sippy cup for the rest of the night.

Love,
Anna

An extra WHAT?

So Daddy spent a long time last night explaining to me this Daylight Savings thing and I am confused..... Why would ANYONE want an extra hour or sleep, if they could use that same hour for an extra hour of playing?

Can you guess what I choose to use the extra hour for?

Yep- PLAY!

I went to bed 30 minutes later then normal (8:00ish), but woke up 30 min earlier (6:15) then normal. But it wasn't 6:15.... IT WAS 5:15!!! BONUS hour of playtime :)

This is great! Mommy didn't think so though :) (It was daddy's turn to sleep in this morning so mommy was the one who also got an extra hour of play!)

Love,
Anna

Bucket on Head

Just a couple days ago, I learned how to put the bucket on and then take it off my head ALL BY MYSELF! I had been handing it to mommy or daddy to do it for me. Now I love to put it on my head and run to them with a big smile :)


Love,
Anna

Cousin Henry

Tonight, Henry came over and hung out with us while his parents went to a movie. We had so much fun playing and eating dinner together! I Love it when he comes over to play :)

Love,
Anna

Playdate with Cooper!



It had been a while since Cooper and I had played together. It took a while for us to warm up to each other but once we did, we had a blast :) I gave Cooper lots of puckered up kisses when he left and he return my kisses with open mouth kisses- GROSS!!! I think he is so funny :)

Love,
Anna

Almost.....


I am getting so close to jumping into the bathtub all by myself :)

Love,
Anna
