Last time I was pregnant I did not take any maternity pictures because I felt fat! After being pregnant and looking back I was so sad that I didn't have any pictures to remember so this time I decided I had to. Although it is never fun to take pictures while you are prego and see yourself bigger than normal, I knew I would regret it if I didn't so I had my good friend and babysitter take a few for me. I think she did such a good job, and am glad this time I will have some to remember. So here I am at 36 weeks pregnant. Thanks so much Amber. You are the best!

We are counting down the days until we get to meet our little angel. I had my last ultrasound last week and she is head down which was very good news for us. The baby looks good, but she is only measuring in the 25th percentile. How is it that they say the baby only weighs about 5lbs 5ounces, but yet I have gained a whole heck of a lot more weight then that??!! So not fair. Anyways,I was not dilated at all which was a little disappointing because with JJ I was at this point. I have a feeling that since this whole pregnancy I have been assuming she is going to come early (because JJ came two weeks early) that she is going to stay in there and cook until she has to come out! I guess you never know and we will just wait and see.

Playing with the hose!

I came home the other day from a primary activity to find my boys cleaning the garage and playing with the hose!! Now I know why JJ loves his daddy so much, because he lets him do all the fun stuff! JJ was absolutely loving playing in the water and getting wet. He thought it was even cooler when Josh showed him how to spray mommy and get her wet! Oh how I love my boys.
Say CHEESE!!

Aiming for mommy!

Thinking he is so funny getting mommy wet!

Still trying to aim at mommy and get her wet!

Nursery

JJ went to nursery for the first time a couple weeks ago. He was a little hesitant walking into the room, and kept trying to pull my hand so we could leave the room. As soon as they pulled out the play dough he was very intrigued and I snuck out while I could. When I checked back on him about five minutes later he was crying:( I felt so bad, but knew that If I went back in it would only get worse, so I left him. His teachers said he only cried for a couple of minutes and then was fine. Josh and I are so glad that he is finally old enough to go to nursery so we can actually attend and teach our classes. Although, it is not going to last long since our little princess is going to be here very shortly!!

My handsome boys before church!

JJ's first artwork from church. So cute! Notice how he is smiling and cheesing for the camera. Looks like he is wide awake.

About sixty seconds after the last picture he was completely out! Man, nursery must have just worn him out. I was trying with all my might to keep him awake so I could just lay him down when we got home but nothing was keeping him awake. It only takes us a couple minutes to get home from church and he was just cashed out by time got home!!
