2 Years for Max!!

Max turned 2 almost  a month ago!  and now as I see my niece's birthday blog, I realize I may have gipped him out of birthday gifts - but i had convinced myself that Max didn't even know about presents nor does he show much interest in opening them (although i was proved wrong by Aunt Judy, grandma Hodgson adn Grandma Ketchum's gifts :S).  So I bought him balloons. That is it.  We went to Fred Meyer, and he thought those were the coolest thing and played with them for days.  The cake was soooo much better this year than last.  Last year I was going for some sugar-free, cocounut something or other i think.  This year, it was a box vanilla cake with whip cream and strawberries inside and strawberry yogurt whip cream frosting.  It was deliiiiccciouss. And my big boy is starting to rattle off his words...I did get him (later) 2 more Signing Time videos which he just loves. He signs 'Train' and 'Play' so well.  He is saying 'help me, all done, cheese, agua, star, shoes, mouse' and rambling with a bunch more i'm sure I just don't understand.  He is such an awesome kid and I love this stage where he is so active and curious. Can't wait to bring Baby Girl home and get her up to speed and running with him!

 Max got his own Individual strawberry cake of course. He LOVED it.

Ready for baby


 We are counting down! So I'm posting my last few months of pregnancy pics.  Funny how i feel so much bigger than I look. Although i am much bigger than with Max.  I think the fact that I can't fit in any clothes and I eat bread and cookies by the pound make me feel very large. I'm not generally uncomfortable - my feet and hands are swelling a little and I'm tired alot. Definitely ready to not be working anymore.  But all in all I'm doing great.  Hoping everything goes well and preparing for worst-case scenario - V-day baby.  I am making lock down preparation to make sure she is NOT born on Valentines Day. You know, the really important things.


 This is 32 weeks
 34 weeks
 34 weeks - more attitude :)
 38 weeks.  The break between 34 and 38 came with about 4 batches of cookies and 2 loaves of homemade bread.....i'm nervous about the next two weeks
