At 32 weeks...

You get really excited about cake. This cake was also very heavy and I was very fearful that in my ever so clumsy state, it would topple to the ground before anyone got to taste its wonderfulness. Thankfully this was not the case.

Our good friend Vanessa is due about four weeks after us. We're so excited to have such wonderful friends expecting at the same time as us.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our friends and family, Henry's nursery is starting to come together. We grow more and more excited about meeting this little guy and can't wait to put him in all the adorable clothes that we have been receiving.

On a side note, one of my kinders informed me today that when I have the baby the doctors will "have to wipe him off cuz I have lots of blood and stuff in my body...and did you know babies come out naked, Mrs. Dembrud?" Oh, I love the things that that five years old say- even when they tell me I don't have a baby in my belly, just a fat stomach!

Practicing

Next up....swaddling the pumpkin.

We have heat!

And this is where I shall plant myself until the sun comes back out next summer...


Anyone else find it odd that we have an electric fireplace right in front of a real one?

Bigger and Bigger and Bigger

We're 7 months and sailing right along. The nursery is a disaster, the cat is already wanting more attention and I have been asked at least half a dozen times "Mrs. Denbrook, why are you STILL pregnant." Apparently I also have started to waddle a wee bit. Life is good and grand and wonderful.

5:30 AM

Call me a fool, but this kid looks pretty excited to be working before 6 am. Jake scored himself a sporadic part-time job that entails grading online tests from 5:30 am- 2 pm from the comfort of our home and with a certain black cat on his lap.

And here I am at 25 weeks. Pretty sure I have a big fella in there. I swear it's him who is hungry all the time, not me.

Fancy Schmancy

Jake's been working away on a new website for Accendo Images. It's now live and up and running and pretty dang sweet. Check it out!

We've got a Kicker!

Summer has flown by and not only am I nearing the end of summer vacation but also the end of my fifth month of pregnancy! We'll be 24 weeks on Friday and are feeling absolutely fantastic. Henry has started to be quite the kicker. Jake can now feel him moving around and today we both spent quite a bit of time staring and laughing at my belly as the kid rocked out to Jake's guitar. We are hoping and pleading that this little guy gets his father's aptitude for music instead of my inability to even clap on beat. Yesterday at our doctor's appointment the doctor commented on what a strong kicker the baby was for his size. This leads us to believe that Henry may also be inheriting his father's massive feet. Anyone wanting to contribute to our son's future shoe fund can contact us privately. :)
I really should think about buying some maternity clothes at this point...
