37 weeks and the countdown begins...

It is going to be wierd having another baby in the house. I just love little guy so much, and it is hard to fathom me having that much love for another little stinker. I know this is how it works and it will all be ok, so I am just trying to enjoy these last few weeks with Grant. We are going through a big transition from 1 to 2 kids, but I am excited! Yes nervous, but excited! I had Grant at 38 weeks and 2 days, so it seems crazy that it could be here so fast! That would be Dec 9th...now I am sure it will be later, but who knows. I just get all jittery inside when I think about it. I am looking forward to meeting this baby that has been kicking me and throwing punches for months. I can't wait to see if he looks more like a Wirthlin or a Williams. Grant is a good mix, but maybe we just got lucky that time. I think he is going to be dark like John, but maybe he will be blonde and green eyed like Grant. My only prayer is that he is not colicky and doesn't have reflux. But even if he does this time, I am much more prepared to handle it- mentally that is! I guess that is the beauty about being a 2nd time mom :)

play time

We had a pony and 2 goats in our back yard for a few days bc some of our friends were coming to visit. Grant always wanted to go outside- it was a little stressful for me, but mostly fun! There was just a little more dirt and poop in the house than usual...

big scowls...

these boys are easy to read...

translation- don't bother me or talk to me... i have learned to understand boy language :)

big smiles :)

these speak for themselves...

Grant learning to play the piano...

I think he has a lot in common with his daddy! He loves the piano and I look forward to having one of our own someday. For now- his great grandma's will have to do :)

more pics

John deleted the few pictures he was in... so even though it looks as if he wasn't there- I promise he was! The weather was nice and the kids just played on the patio for hours while the adults sat back and relaxed. I couldn't believe how quiet it was at some points. I was just trying to enjoy one of my last holidays with having only one child. My life is about to get much more complicated!

Thanksgiving was nice and quiet....

We had a very small Thanksgiving group this year. It was just my sister and her family, my parents, and us. We didn't even fill the whole dining room table. I know my husband is used to a much bigger crowd during the holidays! It was my Dad's bday on Turkey day and he is a less is more guy- so we all just sat around and hung out. We had a great time and lots of fun though!

church is sometimes impossible...

I just want to know if anyone else's toddler boy runs up to the chapel doors during sacrament meeting and body slams himself against it???? hmmm... where does one go if even the halls don't work during sacrament? How is an 8 month pregnant mother suppose to handle this wonderful situation? Answer- go home! Just as I had suspected the little stinker crashed right after we got in the car. Sorry I missed the second 2 meetings, but we had to leave daddy at church after I started having contractions from all the chasing and stress. Of course, as I was walking out- Grant was kicking and screaming- and I was just wondering what all the other mothers were thinking. I remember what I thought of kids like that- before I had my own! Oh well :) And just think, I am having another... i must be crazy!

Not much going on around here...

Here are a few pics of Grant playing outside with John. I always love it when they go on little adventures together. I can usually catch up on cleaning and cooking and nothing is better than 30 minutes of peace and quiet. No tv, no music, no screaming! My favorites :) Grant definetly needs another buzz cut, and the pic of him waving at the airplane is pretty cute. He loves waving at things especially airplanes when they fly over.

34 weeks and miserable

I was doing pretty good the last few weeks. In just the last day or two I have gotten very uncomfortable. I'm not sure if it's the babies position or what, but I feel like he gained like two pounds and I just can't ever get comfortable. My legs hurt, my back hurts, my belly hurts of course, and lots of other things that I won't mention. I don't know how I am going to hang on for 6 more weeks. I am ready to die!!!!

trick or treat- smell my feet...

pics

Grant and Caydon had a fun time chasing each other around. This is Grant's favorite game. He tries to get everyone to chase him! And his favorite phrase is "where are you?" - it is really cute when he says it.

More party pics :)

Halloween time....

We had a little halloween party at Kempton and Jenny's in Tampa. It was so fun... lots of good food, candy, and even swimming! That is how warm it is in Florida right now. We had a great time! And this was Grant's first year trick or treating... he caught right on!
