Thomas the Train

We surprised the girls today with a trip to go meet and ride Thomas. They were so excited and could not get enough of the train.

Love that smile.

Meeting the conductor. 

It was a rainy morning but that did not stop us from having fun. 

Abby loved dancing in the rain.

Emma was a big fan of using the umbrella when she could.

It was a great family outing and I am so glad baby Solomon held out so we could go.

39 Weeks

Today I had my 39 week appointment. There has been a little progress on baby's part but not too much. I am now between 2 & 2.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. The baby is still in the same position but she said that it is normal to not really drop when you are on your third kid. So we will just let the waiting game continue, which I am good with. She did say to just take it easy from here on out. Can someone tell my kids that?!

A New Ride

When we found out we were pregnant our great debate about what to do about my car surfaced. My car has a third row but it is impossible to get to and there is no leg room. It is rare that we ever use it. We did tons of research on car seats that fit three across and looked at some new SUVs. In the car department, nothing was winning us over and we want something to wow us if we are going to spend the money. We decided to just go ahead and get a new car seat for Emma that would fit in the middle (thanks YaYa and Grandpa). Now all three can fit and Emma just loves her new red car seat. 

The happy girl and the unhappy Abby (this is a day she decided to skip her nap).

Just when we thought we would not be buying a new car, well guess who ended up getting a new one?! That's right, Andy got to upgrade to a new car. His old car was near the end and the cost to repair it was ridiculous. He loves his new ride (a Volvo S60 if you are wondering) and is very protective of it (so not in his nature). I guess when you have been part of my family long enough you learn how to be obsessed with car care.

Afternoon Entertainment

With Emma on a later school schedule this year, we have had to make some adjustments to our nap/rest time schedules. Abby is used to going down by 1:30 and I am used to getting a rest myself starting at that time. Now that we have to wait until 2, Abby and I are finding ourselves having a hard time staying energized. Good thing I can find some low key activity ideas on the internet to keep us awake and happy.

Check out her new glasses.

Working on our fine motor skills.

Loving the new hat.

38 Weeks

I went in for my 38 week appointment today and there really is nothing to report. The baby is hanging out in the same spot and the doctor said that I am very close to being 2 cm dilated. Sounds good to me. My October request just might come true. 

I am getting excited to meet this little one. I am so curious to know what this baby will look like. Emma and Abby look completely different, so it will be fun to see what mix this baby will get.

Pampers vs. Huggies

I just don't know which one to go with. I love them both!

Flying High

On this cold, rainy weekend it is nice to remember the warm weather pool days. I must say I am not missing the heat but I do miss the joy the pool brought the kids.
