Babymoon

A few weeks ago we decided to take advantage of being able to get away without a baby! We found an awesome deal that got us a great room at the Oregon Gardens, dinner (you can choose anything on the menu- Jake got filet mignon and I had shrimp penne pasta),a bottle of wine and breakfast all for $100. Seriously an amazing deal with amazing food.

This is Jake's best "I"m rich and fancy and drinking all of the wine" face.

And when you can't drink wine, you definitely order dessert.

Maternity Pics

These were taken at 33 weeks. We can't believe our baby will be here next month!

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.
