30 weeks

I am looking real tired in these pictures... I am still measuring 2 weeks big.

Doctors says I just make big boys. I am hoping his head isn't as big as Barrett's, otherwise, we will be doing a c-section.

Will do an ultrasound at 38 weeks to see how big he is and go from there.

Snow Days

We got our first good snow of the season...

Poor Bear could hardly move with all his snow gear on.

Chuie enjoyed it though!

Look who's a big boy now...

Sorry told his Mommy that he needed to go pee pee on the toilet...

and guess who went pee pee on the toilet?

I am very excited that he is interested, but we are not pushing the issue. I figure with the new baby coming, potty training will most likely take a back seat for a month or so.

28 weeks

Here I am at 28 weeks. I am feeling huge. I am very much looking forward to not going to term!

Happy Holidays!

Who is that bearded guy in the funny outfit?

We went to see Santa today. Barrett wasn't quite sure what to think. He almost refused to sit on Santa's lap, but I finally coaxed him into it.

Of course, promptly after taking these pictures he ran to me for a hug, and I leaned over, with the camera around my neck, and whacked him in the eye. Oh, I felt terrible. As if he didn't already have some issues with Santa, now I have ruined him for life.

On a lighter note, I went to the doc today for the 27 week check-up/glucose test and I am still measuring 2 weeks big. Doc says there is no way we are going to 40 weeks - yipee! We will do an ultrasound at 38 weeks to see how big the baby is and most likely plan an induction at 39 weeks, unless, of course, he is huge, in which case we may have to plan a C-section. Hoping for the natural delivery...
So be on the look out for a new Lowry boy around Valentine's Day.

What's new

Here I am at 24 weeks... I am measuring 26 weeks so even though I don't look like I have changed that much, the baby is really big and really low!

Yummy cookies!

What are you looking at? Do you like my new haircut?

Leaves

Here are some pictures of Barrett playing in the leaves at Grandma and Grandpa Stanley's a few weeks ago. I took these with our new camera; I think I took about a 100 pictures...

Grandpa is blowing Bear with the leaf blower.

Poor Chuie

Bear has taken to carrying around all the blankets and all of the pillows and placing them strategically around and on Chuie. The dog is very patient and lays there while he does this. Don't worry, there really isn't any menace behind that look on Chuie's face.

Okay, kid so where did you go?

And another day.... poor dog. Bear will just follow her around and do this routine all over again even after she gets up and moves away.

Love Chuie!

Dress Up

Bear loves to wear this vest of Kimball's. He is also very interested in flipping the light switches on and off. He has also taken to wearing this hat. In fact, the other day when my Grandma was watching him he brought her his shoes, his vest, and this hat. Wish I had a picture of that one : )

Can you say "Moo." Here is Bear in his cow costume at Andrea and Scott's. It was Kortlyn and Katelyn's birthday parties. He is carrying my wand - I was the Sugar Plump Fairy.

Makayla and Bear playing with the new kittens.

Check out the rump on that cow!

Ever wonder what Barrett would look like as a rock star? Would have to lose the binky of course.

Love this picture! He loved his costume....

as long as the hood wasn't on.

Even though it was supposed to be a 2T-4T, it was a bit tight! Get this thing off ME!

Pumpkin Patch

A few weeks ago we went to Linder Farms for Barrett's buddy Koen's third birthday. Here are Barrett and Salem in the tractor pull.

Barrett really wanted to go down the slide, but he was too little to climb up by himself so Mommy had to go with him. Mommy was exhausted but Barrett had a great time!

Love the horses!

I tried to get a good pumpkin patch picture, but he wasn't nearly as cooperative as last year!
