He is as big as a {small cabbage} & 28 week appt

Today was a fun morning as Kit & I got a little morning date to my 28 week doctor appointment!

 I can't believe we are in the 3rd trimester! 

Oh my goodness, he was so cute during the ultrasound. He kept his hands in front of his face the whole time except for a brief moment and we got this shot. So adorable!! He is measuring right on track and looking great at about 2 1/2 pounds!

Just for fun... here is a comparison of all three boys!!

Henry was farther along (34 weeks) but both Porter & this sweet one are right at 28 weeks.  

We are all very excited to meet you baby boy!!! Your feet are constantly kicking me on my right side and I feel like I continually have a lump on my right side this week as you like to keep them poking out. Yesterday I laid on the floor as you were rolling around and Henry and Porter were just a giggling so hard watching you roll around! Henry was saying, "Porter, that's MY baby brother!!" and Porter just yells, "BABY!!!!"

Visitors!!!

We loved having Aunt Amy & Erika fly in and get to visit with us for a few days! We played at the park, went to the Aquarium, worked on a little project for Baby Mater's nursery, took them to the yogurt bar and enjoyed lots of cousin time! 

Thank you SO much for coming Aunt Amy & Erika!! 

We had a blast and next time you see me...baby Mater will be here!! ;)

 What a BIG boy!

 Henry refuses to look at the camera! ;)

Porter LOVES slides!

 Porter was in the stroller for the majority of the aquarium but I let him walk at the end when the crowds had cleared out & the tanks were toddler friendly (floor to ceiling). He was in awe & loved it!

 All I wanted was a snapshot of me with my boys. Wasn't happening! ha!

 Yes, this is a good "real life" shot! ha!

 Henry & Erika got to "pet the sharks" too & boy did H love it. Not intimidated one bit and at one point Henry told me he just needed to get in and swim with the sharks because it was hard reaching over the "wall" to pet them! haha! :)

 Cutie Cousins before church!

 Of course I didn't think about getting a picture until boys were on their ways to naps...hence the comfy clothes ;)

Sisters!

Thank you so much for coming!

He is as big as...{A head of cauliflower}

Oh boy...

This is the view I see pretty much morning, noon & night around here. Boys. Wrestling. They can't keep their bodies off each other & from what I hear from other boy moms, it isn't going to stop any time soon...maybe ever :)

Prince Charming...

We received an invitation a few weeks ago for a princess/prince tea party & yesterday was the day! These two boys were asked to dress in "prince/tea party" attire and while we had no clue what that meant, I thought these two looked awfully handsome for an afternoon of tea & sandwiches.  We talked a lot about using our manners & Henry did a great job of saying "please" & "thank you" and complimenting the princesses on their outfits. 

They got to decorate a castle, sword & wear capes. A great time was had by all. I love that these two prince charmings came back home with me! ;)

He is as big as...{A hothouse cucumber}

We are now under 100 days!!! Wow!

BiG bRoThEr iN tRaInInG...

 the past few days my big brother henry has been showing me what it means to be a big brother. my brother is a great big brother and says another baby is coming soon and so we've been practicing somethings so i'll know what to do too.

 Like swaddling and taking baby for a walk in the "stroller". 

 And henry showed me how to burp 'the baby'.

 momma didn't have any bottles handy so we used a couple of my sippy cups to feed the baby. henry said i was doing it wrong. 

 silly me.

 henry even showed me how to change a diaper...

boy, being a big brother sure can wear a lil guy out... :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone is having a great day :)

My day started off a little crazy. Today was a MOPS morning so getting out the door is also interesting. Sweet P is just like me and is NOT a morning person. He did not hold back at all showing his disgust for having to get out the door early :)

 But my day greatly improved when these beauties were sitting in the drivers seat awaiting me!

 Now we are home, the boys are down for naps, and I'm looking forward to a fun evening with all my Valentines.

I'm a lucky girl to be surround by so much sweetness!

When arranging my flowers after we got home I was telling Henry & Porter that getting a girl flowers is a very sweet thing to do. It's a nice way to show someone you love them. I told Henry that someday it would be a nice thing to buy flowers for a girl he likes and he said, "I'll buy you flowers, momma, you're a sweet girl!" Awww! :)

To think, next year we'll have another handsome Valentine around! 

Be still my beating heart!! :)

friday faces {just because}

He is as big as...{A rutabaga...who even knows what that is! ha!}

Weekend & Monday iPhone pics

H & I cuddling on the couch Friday night.


A Saturday morning donut run :)


Porter with bed head & chocolate donut face...a rare treat :)


Saturday was gorgeous and we spent most of the day outside playing!


Getting ready for church on Sunday morning, P would not take off the stethoscope. We were calling him Dr. Love since the boys look so handsome in their dress shirts.


Monday morning H and I spent a little time just cuddling in our bed. He enjoys talking to baby Mater and sang Jesus Loves Me and asked me all sorts of God about where God lives and what's his favorite foods, etc. love it!!!


I was going through Ps closet when I heard a panicked cry. I walked in the room to find H saying, "don't cry. You'll be alright. You're not stuck" lol. There was a Chapstick that had fallen & H convinced P to get it! Ha! :)


Someone is developing a love for books. Finally able to set with both boys in my lap (well all 3 really) and read. :). Love that!!

Happy 17 months, Sweet P!!
