Zoo (in March)

We decided to take advantage of the nice spring weather and take the kids to the zoo yesterday (can't believe we're wearing shorts in March!) Here's our little girl looking really grown up!
Hungry, hungry hippo. (This one was actually making noises...can't say I ever really knew what a hippo sounds like until now)
Riding a hippo (statue, not the one from the previous photo :-)
Isaac, me, my belly & a goose!
Riding polar bears on the carousel.
Isaac & Tessa are officially bigger than penguins!
Hide & seek!

Now all we need is a baby



3 weeks from today we'll get to meet our new baby! I think the essentials are all ready. Car seat is cleaned up (from the last 2 kids) and ready to go, my bag is partially packed for the hospital, and the nursery is all ready - now all we need is a baby! Here are some photos of the nursery (formerly Tessa's room).

Sharing

With baby #3 arriving soon, Tessa graciously gave up her room and moved in with her big brother. The whole arrangement went surprisingly well and they really love sharing a room. If we have known how much they would like it, we would've done this sooner!

Tessa's side of the room....
....and Isaac's side.
I finally got around to doing some paintings for the kids and John put up this great shelf around most of the room.

35 Weeks!


I haven't really taken any belly shots during this pregnancy - but you can see here that this little baby is getting quite big (and me too!) 35 weeks today and 4 more to go until we get to meet this new member of our family. I'm scheduled for a c-section on the morning of April 13. Yes - I know, it's Friday the 13th. It's a good thing I'm not a superstitious person! Here's some items from a list I read in one of my magazines yesterday - Things we love about preganancy. Some of these are definitely true:
- Work is so much more bearable when there's a private dance party going on inside you.
- You have a place to rest your ice cream bowl (and an excuse to use it).
- For nine months you don't have to suck it in.
So, I'm going to try to enjoy these last 4 weeks.....and eat lots of ice cream!
