38 weeks and counting..




These pictures are from a few days ago which is still week 37, but you get the idea. The new development is: the baby has dropped and yesterday I had some really big contractions. I go to the doc tomorrow so we'll see how far I'm dilated. I was sleeping pretty good until about a week ago and now my belly falls asleep and I can't get comfortable. Even though I go to bed fairly early I am waking up feeling exhausted. The poor boys- get really bored. But, my mom flies in Saturday night so in just a couple of days we'll have some help!! Yea!!!

Right now Jordan is in his least busy time since the start of school so he's really been helping with the boys which helps me even more! Last Tuesday he didn't have to teach at the high school so we took some sandwiches up to the mountain. You should have seen Jaxon when we told him we were going the night before. He smiled and turned around to the laundry room. He came back in with the tent and a sleeping bag and said we were all ready! He seriously would live up there if he could! He didn't like the idea of us only staying a few hours. We had a grand ole' time though.Jaxon just climbed and climbed and walked through the creek and threw rocks into the water.
While coming down I slipped just a little bit and Jordan wanted this picture. I'm proud of myself for climbing big rocks and keeping up with the boys.
I love this picture of the boys.Jaxon asked for Jordan to take this picture and he posed all by himself. We couldn't have asked for a happier camper. Which is good because the next day was picture day at school so he was all ready. Jordan took the day off and took the boys to pictures. He said he was amazed at how well behaved Jaxon was; he went straight to his chair and sat down and listened to the instructions. Kodee was so excited to be there that he grabbed a chair and sat right behind Jaxon acting like he was part of the class. He would love preschool, but I know he wouldn't qualify for it like Jaxon did.
The past two weeks we've taken a family walk on Monday nights through some fields and up by the hospital. It's probably around 4 miles. Last week Jaxon probably ran for half the walk. That kid just loves to run!! This is what happened after we got home- just kidding, this is when Jaxon had a fever two weekends ago. He asked me to make mac and cheese so I put it on and did some laundry. He fell asleep while it was cooking.

OH my did your mountain trip pictures bring back memories! I have pictures of me when Jon & I were up here cuing fire wood for that winter. I was just about your size!

Sure looks fun and glad you could have this one last little fun excursion before the baby comes.

What is it about boys and mountains? They just love it. Ours are always wanting to go up to Mt Lemmon. You're a way cute pregnant lady. Can't wait to see pictures of her.
