I hadn't posted a picture of my gorgeous men from Easter so here it is...
Aren't they adorable?!?! This picture was taken at about 5:45 am (hence Josh rubbing his eyes). It's amazing how fast a child will get ready when he knows there's candy downstairs!
These last few weeks are going to be filled with last minute projects and tasks. This weekend we officially finished the foyer. The tile is down and grouted, the doors are replaced and the trim is officially up and nailed! We were up until 11:30 Friday night getting the last bit of moulding up. I was at the saw and Dustin used his mighty nail gun. Baby did NOT like the sound of the saw. Every time I made a cut it would squirm around.
Then Saturday was Grandma Verabeth's 80th birthday party. Josh had SOOOOO much fun. My body was still throbbing from the night before so I didn't get any pictures of him playing with the animals and cousins. Sorry.
Then Sunday we refinished and painted the front door. Josh got to help and it was a small price to pay for a few minutes of quiet.
I think Josh realizes that something big is about to happen. He is so HYPER lately! I will have to admit, however, that there is a small chance my perspective on what is HYPER has changed. My new definition of hyper is someone who moves more in 10 minutes than I do all day. Lugging this body around is proving to be more difficult every day and poor Josh doesn't really have 100% of his mommy right now.
He has become quite the helper. I had some difficulty getting propped up in bed on Saturday morning and in positioning all of the pillows I knocked the remote off the bed. After I stopped crying with frustration, I called out to my son who was playing in his room. I asked him to come in and pick up the remote for mommy.
He said, "Why sure!". Picks it up and sets in by my hand and then touches my hand and says, "Mommy, you let me know if you need something else. Okay? Am I a good helper?". Isn't he going to be the greatest big brother?
This weeks update on baby said this:
Your baby now measures about 20.25 inches (45cm) in total length and weighs around 5.5 lbs (2550g). Crown to rump measurement is about 13.2 inches (33cm).
He continues to grow and fatten up, especially in the shoulder area, and kicks regularly.
The fine lanugo hair that covered your baby is shedding, though some may still be present when your baby is born.
Your baby's eyes are blue, though this may change soon after birth or much later after birth.
Your baby's fingernails are growing. They already reach the tips of his fingers and they may even look quite long and pointy by the time he is born. Your baby may even have some scratch marks from scratching his face with his fingernails.
Your baby is probably feeling quite cramped right now and his movements are restricted by his growing size.
I am now going to the doctor every 2 weeks. My last appointment was on Thursday. I am still not at the weight I was when I first found out I was pregnant, but I'm getting there! Baby's heart rate was 135 (exactly what Josh's was at my 34 week appointment). Otherwise everything looked good!! Thank God!
