39 weeks!

it is hot! we have another 90 degree day in store for us and this might be the first time in 

my life that i'm not excited about it.

dont get me wrong i love the sun and heat...but this little belly heater makes it feel like it over 

110!

we are just waiting around for mdb to arrive.

i'm at home while brandon is working away...hopefully i wont have too many days at home...

i don't sit well ;)

maybe next week the 40 week picture will have a baby in it! we can hope, right?

38 weeks!

only two weeks left!

or three! or one?

medium bird will be here soon...crazy!

i think we are ready...we have a crib, stroller, car seat,

cute clothes, diapers, blankets...the list goes on!

 somehow brandon never falls to catch me off guard!

now we are playing the guesing game of when MBD will make his/her appearance!

what's your guess?

brandon thinks the 24th

i think the 27th

 

37 weeks

in the home stretch! oh monkies!

we have been trying to get things ready for the arrival of medium bird.

its difficult though when nice weather and olympics seem like a better use of time!

weekend trips

this past weekend we drove out to richland to see

allysha and andy!

they just moved to richland for andy's new job! it was fun to see their cute apartment, richland and the surrounding towns (the tri-cities), and the riverwalk area.

we had a lot of fun exploring the area, eating burgers and cherries, visiting paseo (which is like visiting mexico!), walking along the river, watching hydroplanes...it was a fun packed day!

 allysha and i

 the mcg's at the riverfront

brandon and i (31 weeks!)

it was a lot of fun...plus it was sunny! thanks allysha and andy for a good time!

on sunday, we went to golden gardens with the JHYG.
sand, sun, hotdogs, s'mores, bocce ball...what could be better!

30 weeks!

oh monkies! i almost forgot to post this! (dont worry the picture was taken at 30 weeks and i will post a picture of 31 weeks shortly!)

30 weeks...10 left!

its super hard to believe. we have been so busy that all of a sudden this baby is going to be here!

personally, i miss sleeping on my stomach, eating raw fish (oh sushi I miss you!) and being able to walk up stairs without getting so stinking tired!

there have been some bonuses...like burgers...ice cream and other super tasty things :)

i'm definitely getting bigger...i've received a few "wow, your belly is big!" comments.

always awesome.

and no you cant measure it

well, here's the picture...enjoy :)

by the way medium bird is doing great. super active. loves to kick, punch my right ribs just as i am falling asleep...or lets face it, all day long.

 oh, brandon rested the remote on my belly last night. mbd then attempted to kick the remote off.

sweet

more of a side view...with my "just take the picture brandon" face :)

and of course a classic!

my parents are in town this weekend...hooray!
