36 weeks (well almost!)

Pregnancy #2 is rapidly coming to a close, wow. I will be 36 weeks on Saturday. We finally got the crib and furniture in the nursery. I waslooking back at my journal from Micah's pregnancy and the nursery was done at 34 weeks. This time I didn't even have a crib at 34 weeks! We now at least have the necessities like diapers, wipes and sheets on the bed. We have two nurseries set up right next to each other upstairs. It is so surreal to see their rooms. Dr. Brown set an induction date of Monday Feb. 9, but we may be moving it to Feb. 5. I'll post more after next week's visit.

It has been a while since I updated. I am now 34 weeks and still feeling pretty good. Just a little less sleep at night. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year full of rest and family time. My how things have changed. Micah was sick the entire week before Christmas with RSV and an ear infection. His fever spiked to 105.5 one day! He was so lethargic and pitiful. Even though I work with sick kids every day it was very hard to be objective when it was Micah. Anyway, he is fine now and back to his old self. I just hope all those Christmas kisses he gave the twins didn't get them sick too!
I am still working 4 days a week and looking forward to some time off when baby Sam arrives. We still don't have a middle name. Trip thinks he doesn't need one. Not sure why we are having such trouble! Micah is nonstop all day unless he is asleep. I think I'm gonna have my hands full with him and a newborn!

A few extra Christmas pics

Chase and Ethan were so cute in their snowman pajamas. Micah would NOT participate in this photo session.

Christmas 2008

His first gift was this electric car from Buddy and Zay Zay

This is the best we could do!
Micah's favorite thing to do with the twins is give them kisses. They don't seem to mind!

His singing rocking horse.

Who knew his favorite gift would be a singing Christmas card? He also loves his new chair. Every day when we get home he points to it and runs to jump in.

Grandpop's Last Day of Work

After 37 years at the Power Company, my dad is retiring. Micah and I decided to pay him a visit on his last day 12/31/08

A preview of what he will probably be doing at home now!

Happy New Year

On New Year's Day we took Micah on his second hiking trip at Oak Mountain. The waterfall was cold but very pretty. Micah just tried to go swimming with the dogs the whole time.

Our attempt at a group photo...

He couldn't walk the last time we took him! He loved being able to roam around. Note the milk in hand. His new security blanket. All day long he says "milk" and "bite" and "Melmo"


He was ticked when we loaded him up to go home even though his hands were almost frozen and he was out of milk!
