Piano!
We were very lucky to receive a piano from Tom & Erin Hurley. The kids have been very excited about it. I can't wait for them to get a little bit older so that they can take lessons and really learn to play.

Sledding
As the snow was starting to melt, I realized that the kids never got a chance to go sledding. Luckily my bigger boots from Target finally came in (couldn't get my feet into/let alone zip up my other boots due to the swelling in my feet). So, we all bundled up after naps and ventured outside. Our neighbors were nice enough to let us sled on their awesome driveway - they didn't get the side part shoveled in time and it iced over...great for sledding!

Great Train Expo
We went to the Great Train Expo at the Indiana State Fair Grounds again this year. The event seemed smaller this year as compared to last year, but the kids didn't seem to mind and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. :)
Baby's Room
Mamaw came over and helped me finish getting the baby's room set up.
Katelyn "helped" too by making sure that the crib was cozy. ;)

30 Weeks
I haven't posted many pregnancy updates this time around, probably because I'm so busy with the crazy two that we already have! :)
I've also made a conscious effort during this pregnancy to not compare it to Brendan or Katelyn's, so that I'm not thinking more boy or more girl. It's definitely been my most challenging pregnancy. I have continued to have nausea at times during the day (usually after eating) despite being 3/4 of the way through! Some people theorize that you are sicker with girls, but I know lots of moms who were sick with their sons. My theory is that I'm older and have gotten sicker with each pregnancy. Of course, I have still gained 30 pounds and am on track to hit 40 pounds just like the previous two pregnancies. I also feel more tired this time around - never seemed to have the joyous 2nd trimester with a bunch of extra energy to get things accomplished. Oh well! The nesting instinct has started to kick in - which is good, since baby will be here in just over 9 weeks!
A rare picture from this pregnancy:
See below for a link to a "game" to guess baby's gender and size. Baby's heart rate is consistently in the 130s-140s at each appointment.
Feel free to guess the date/time as well, but I am scheduled for a repeat C-section on March 11th at 8am. ;) Granted, I have had more Braxton-Hicks contractions with this pregnancy than the previous two, so I guess there is a chance I won't make it to that date, but then again, I went 41 weeks and 4 days with Katelyn!
This baby will be born at 39 weeks and 2 days. Brendan and Katelyn were each 8 pounds and 2 or 3 oz. (Can't remember which was which at this point.) and 21 and 21 1/2 inches long if that helps you with your weight/length guesses. :)
At this point, there are no fabulous prizes for the winner, but who knows, I might just come up with something! :)
