Valentine's Day Party

Noah had a Valentine's Day party at school yesterday. The kids made bags to collect their cards and got to open them when they got home. Noah was pretty happy with his haul. He has been reading his cards and looking at the candy and other gifts over and over. I am happy that he only has ten kids in his classroom.

Unfortunately this has led to many fights and tears since yesterday. Noah doesn't want to share and Micah wants to hold the candy and cards. So hard to share.

The new ultrasound photos have come a long way since I had Noah 4 years ago. I had an ultrasound on Tuesday to check on a couple of things and all is well. The tech took these photos with the 4D technology and when they came up on the screen I immediately thought they looked familiar. When I brought the pictures home Shawn said, "It looks just like the boys." It is a little crazy. We can confirm that the baby does have hair. :) Guess we will see if we have mini Shawn #3 in about 4 weeks.

Changes

Our newest house accessory. As of Monday our house is for sale. You know, since we don't have enough going on with expecting a baby in about 4 weeks. It was a hard decision for us to make because we really do love our house. However, it is not in the school district that we want and ultimately we will grow out of it so it is the right move. We need all the luck we can get as we try to keep it show ready with two little tornados.

Wood Lake

This morning we went to Wood Lake Nature Center. It is about a two minute drive from our house. Shawn runs there almost every other morning. My preference is to be there when the weather is nice so we can walk the trails and play outside but the indoor play spots are a fun place for us to hang out in the winter. Maybe someday our whole family will be snowshoeing there.

They can push a button by a photo of an animal to hear the sound it makes.

Belly

I'm not a huge fan of my own belly shots but I feel like one shot a pregnancy is necessary. So here it is. I thought it was fun to compare with the other two pregnancies at about the same time (same shirt in two out of three too).

Noah

Looking at the photos from my pregnancy with Noah I could not believe you young (and rested) I look. Ah, wish I would have realized that at the time. :) I gained the same amount of weight with both Noah and Micah and I'm about to surpass that with this baby so suffice it to say I'm much bigger this time around. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a lineup of ten pregnacy shots to see how similar they are? Ha, just kidding. I'll leave that to someone else.

More cupcake?

Micah is disappointed the birthday treats are gone. Yesterday he pulled the stool out of the bathroom and said "cupcake" over and over while searching the counter to no avail.

Birthday

Yesterday I was another year older. Shawn and Noah made pancakes for breakfast. Yum! Noah was so proud of them. We had a pretty ordinary day but Shawn came home early and we all went out for dinner. The boys were amazingly good and then we came home for dessert. As you can see they enjoyed their lollipops more than a piece of cake. I'm a lucky lady to be able to spend all my days with three great guys.
