35 Weeks 6 Days

We made it! 35 weeks and 6 days. Here is my one and only "bump" picture from this pregnancy to compare to the previous two boys. All of these pictures were taken at the same week and day!

Baby #3

(bad picture, I know!)

Update on this baby:
I have been having contractions for about 6 weeks now, so I have been put on "limited activity" which basically just means, don't do anything stupid, and lay down a lot. Which is fine by me! I was, however, moved up to weekly appointments early, which is kind of a pain. At 33 weeks, I was starting to efface, which is way sooner than with either of the other boys. At my last appointment, I was measuring almost 2 weeks small, (I have always measure 1-2 weeks big) so now we are a little concerned that the baby isn't growing. My doctor wasn't worried, so we are trying not to either! She didn't say what would happen if he had stopped growing, so I guess we will find out at the next appointment! My c-section is scheduled for March 12th at 7:30am, unless I do actually have him early, but I think the odds of that are pretty slim. We also have FINALLY decided on a name... mostly. Well, maybe. We have an idea, but we want to wait until we see him before we really decide on it. 

Nothing to do with my baby, but on Friday, we will be getting a new niece! The first little girl for my side of the family. We can't wait to meet her! Even though it will make me really, REALLY want to have our baby STAT!

Remodel.

This winter Terry's house project was to remodel the bathroom and build me tables and benches. The table and benches are done, and the bathroom is mostly done (just touch up stuff at this point). I told Terry next year he could have a break from anything major, and just work on finishing little projects he has promised me. He is looking forward to that, I think we all are. Living in construction is not ideal! We actually had to sleep in the living room for 3 weeks. When people came over, they knew I didn't make my bed! Embarrassing. Oh well. Here are some before and after pictures of the bathroom, as well as some pictures of my new table, benches, and island/trash that Terry built. He sure is handy!

















Be My Valentine

This year for Valentine's Day, Terry and I took the boys to the Boise Aquarium. It's not very big, but it is better than what I was expecting. Best of all, the boys loved it!

Valentine's Day 2015

Happy Valentine's Day!
Here are some heart-breakers for ya!










4 Years





Terry and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary together in December. I can't believe it has already been 4 years! It doesn't seem that long. I am sure glad I get to call this guy mine forever!!

Extended Families

Both Terry's and my family we able to all get together and have some group pictures taken during the holidays. My family took theirs around Thanksgiving, and Terry's family took theirs at Christmas. Terry's family pictures are a pretty big deal- every one of his sisters, and their entire families (including husbands!) were able to make it. I'm glad we were able to capture it!

Christmas 2014

This Christmas was so much fun! As Oliver gets a older, Christmas definitely becomes a little bit more magical, and this year was Mack's first Christmas! Oliver is starting to understand, and get excited about holidays. He actually said just the other day (it's now February) that he can't wait for Christmas! Followed by a very cute "yyyeeeaaaaahhhhh" of a cheer. Since I'm so behind on updating the blog, here are a few pictures from our day. Every one was spoiled!  




Don't let the jammies fool you... he is a sharp shooter!



I made shirts for my 3 little boys, I should have made one for their Dad too!
It was a great Christmas! The following week we went up to McCall to stay in the condo for a couple of days. Oliver absolutely loves his cousins, and was so sad when they all went home. He likes to visit the ones near by as often as he can though! I don't have any pictures from McCall... it was kind of a long trip for me.

Family Pictures 2014

Somewhere in the last few months we had some family pictures taken. My good friend came and clicked my camera, and then I edited them. It worked out pretty good. Here are some of my favorites!
