Almost 33 weeks!

In a few days, I will be farther along than I had ever gotten with either of the boys! As far as we can tell, things are still looking good. I have another ultrasound tomorrow morning, which should be able to tell us some more. So we are closer and closer to a 2009 baby! Thanks again for your prayers - we'll keep you updated!

Merry Christmas!

Darren

Blogger has posted this little series backwards. It starts with Darren "napping" with the kitty. The cat leaves fairly quickly, as he points to it. Then he decideds to pose for the camera himself. Pretty cute!

31 Weeks!

I am currently one day further along than I ever got with Darren! I just had a day of appointments (walk-in clinic for Evan's sore ear, midwife, ultrasound). According to the ultrasound, the baby is now over 4lbs! We are so thankful to have made it this far, considering that this child could have arrived 2-3 weeks ago. The midwife is pleased (and a little surprised). I'll see the obstetrician next week, and for a few more weeks, but after 36 weeks (if we make it that long) I won't be seeing him at all! All things considered, we are still prepared to have this little one whenever God plans it, whether it's this week (in a snowstorm!) or next year.

The boys continue to do well. Evan's sore ear wasn't anything serious, and they are generally in good spirits, despite our long days. Evan is really looking forward to more snow - he figured it was spring when all our snow melted.

Almost 30 weeks!

If this child was on schedule to come two weeks earlier (Evan was 33 weeks, Darren was 31 weeks), than it would have already come! So we've passed one milestone!! The next is 30 weeks so we can deliver in Oshawa. After that, we're aiming for 40 weeks! :) At my ultrasound last week they estimated the baby's weight to be about 3lbs. It was amazing - you could see the baby's chubby cheeks and the hand was grabbing the foot! Evan has felt the baby kick his hand a few times, and yesterday he said to me "Mommy, lets take the baby out now." Not for a while, I hope!


Eric took the boys to the Tractor Parade of Lights, where the local farmers dress up their tractors and drive around the area. The boys loved it, but the pictures are a little difficult to see.

Grandma came last weekend and made pepernoten with Evan, who thoroughly enjoyed the experience, as you can tell!

Now that we aren't going out any more (Early years centre, Bible study) it makes for longish days in the house...so we do a lot of trains, blocks, playdough and cars.

They also spend about 50% of their day "driving!"
