Pumpkin Patch!

We hit up the pumpkin patch today and Xander was gutsy enough to try the Maize Maze this time. More pictures available at Flickr.

When you are resting up so you can go camping (even though you have a cold) it is best to do so WITH your plastic lawnmower.

Xander's playdate

Xander and Donovan partied hard on Friday afternoon.

Gram Babs in baby heaven

19 days to go!

I am feeling very large and very uncomfortable.  This week I weighed in at 156 and feel every extra ounce on my legs and back.  I sleep with 3-5 extra pillows — all insulating and making me sweat.  Plus I wake up about 3 times a night to pee.  Needless to say, I am excited for her to finally be here.  Perhaps having a newborn will be easier than the last couple weeks.  At least I won't feel like I am dragging a medicine ball on my belt.

Xander has had too great quotes of late:

"Mommy needs to poop baby sister out like a big poop."

"When baby sister comes I want to catch her."

Not quite sure where he has gotten those ideas since we haven't really explained the process to him much.
