nothing like a ride at the end of a long week!

This is the most recent picture I have of Josh on the bike, come to think of it I don't know if I have any other pictures of him on the bike. After Garrett and Elizabeth left with my mom, Josh and I hopped on the bike for a nice ride. This was my first ride of the season and it was really fun! I have to admit that when he suggested going for a ride I was a little leary, what with me being 7 months pregnant but it went smoothly w/ only a few bumps. :o) I had forgotten how the wind makes your eyes water, other than that I loved it!

27 weeks

I had my 27 week OB appointment today. I think the scale said I gained 5lbs this month so I am up to 11lbs total. My OB told me that I am measuring big and that we would keep an eye on that which probably means two things 1) he will most likely try and get things started at 39 weeks and 2) we will be having another u/s near the end to track the baby's weight. I took the glucose test today and it wasnt' that bad. I am REALLY hoping I passed b/c I hated having to prick my finger 3-4 times a day with Elizabeth. They also tested my thyroid again b/c it hadn't been done since December. All in all it was a good appointment and I go back in two weeks, well actually 3 b/c both my OB and I will be on vacation. I'll post more about my vacation plans later! :o)

Little Lizzy

Or should I say not so little anymore? Isn't it amazing how our kids can change right before our eyes? Our little Elizabeth or "Lizzy" as we call her is becoming quite the little lady. We went on a walk the other day, just her and I, she saw another person on the street and said "Hi, how you?" and I honestly wanted to cry. It was just one of those moments where you realize your little girl is growing up. She is full of smiles and giggles and plenty of temper! She loves Elmo, choo choo's and Bob the Tomato. She is picking up words everyday which surprised me at first because Garrett was such a late talker that I thought she would be the same. They may look alike but I think that is where it stops!! I can't wait to see what this summer holds for this little blonde haired blue eyed beauty!!

Star Wars

Garrett got his hair cut last week and looks so handsome now! He is in love w/ anything and all things Star Wars! He made a friend across the street that he plays w/ everyday. I am glad to see him get to talk Star Wars and have light saber wars w/ someone who isn't going to get bored w/ it two seconds after it is started (me!!) I have to admit though it has taken some getting used to with how loud little boys can be and how rowdy they are at times. I am so glad that it has been nice out this week b/c I told the kids that they had to play outside and they can be as loud as they want outside!!

Getting Started

Well I have been thinking about getting a blog for awhile now b/c I do spend quite a bit of time on the computer and decided why not? This is just as good as writing your thoughts down on paper. There are just some times where you need to get something off your chest. This will also be a good place to tell everyone about something important or a funny that you want to remember.
