Anywhere...

Connor got an anywhere chair! I had originally planned to get it for him for Christmas but he LOVES to sit in a chair at my parents house and I knew I had to get one for home asap. We got it last night and he's pretty much been it every waking moment since. A few things that I love about it is that he can't get hurt on it, washable cover and he has room to grow into it. It's a bonus that it sort of matches me and Sid's chairs!

Signing in the Rain

We had a brief rain storm today and me being the good mother that I am took Connor out in it. Only problem was that once I brought him back in he had a fit because he wanted to go back outside. So even though it was cold, he's only wearing PJ's and he has a runny nose...I let him go back outside. He loves being out there and really at the end of the day the only thing I care about is that Connor had a good day. Mission Accomplished!

These are all pics from my phone so quality is not the greatest but it's the easiest for capturing those priceless moments!

30 weeks!

Technically I'm 29 weeks, 6 days. But still I can hardly believe I'm here already. Only 9 more weeks to go! Everything is moving along well! I passed my 1 hour glucose test and I also didn't have an iron deficiency! I had my 30 week appointment yesterday and was amazed to hear that I lost a pound...that brings my total weight gain to 9 pounds! If I gain 1 pound a week from this point on that would put me at 18lbs total..but really I don't won't to gain more than 15lbs. I'm still praying that I will magically drop 25lbs after giving birth even if I don't gain that much. Ha! Sid has the room painted with the exception of the edges he has to do again & the floor is in! This week he'll finish up the edges and the trim on the floor. We still have to put the lighting in and finish the closet too...but we are so close. I still have not got a crib. The one I really like is a lot of $$$ so I'm gonna settle for my second choice!

My bump self portrait...I looks HUGE!

Mint Condition wall color...hard to see with no lighting!

Lovely floor Sid put in!

Family Time!

Over labor day weekend Sid's brother Charlie, wife Carie and son Blake came up to visit and celebrate Blake's 10th birthday. At first Connor wasn't sure what to think about them but by the end of the night Connor acted as if he knew them his whole life. The rest of the weekend he pretty much couldn't care less if me and Sid were around...he had a new family now! On Saturday we went to Pike Place Market...which looking back maybe was not the best idea on a holiday weekend. It was PACKED but we still got to enjoy two of my favorite things about the market...donuts & caramel apples! :) On the way home we stopped at Family Fun Center...again PACKED! We played a came of miniature golf...where I came in last! I believe there was some cheating going on though! I wanted to ride the go-karts but for some reason nobody would let me! It was a long day and Connor survived with only a 20 min nap in the car...he did go to bed at 6:45pm though.

Donut please!

Yummy!!

Drooling on Uncle Charlie...a new favorite pastime!

Blake & Momma...who got the scare of her life with Blake driving!

Sunday was the main event...Blake's actual birthday and the Mariner game! It was Carie, Blake and Connor's first major league baseball game. The Mariners pulled out a win too! It was also our first time taking the link light rail. I will never ever drive to Safeco or Qwest field again! It was kid's run the bases at Safeco and I imagined there would be a somewhat of a line...I didn't imagine that almost the whole damn stadium would be in line. Blake got to run the bases...sadly I gave up on the line and Connor did not get to. There is always next year!

Blowing out the candles...Sid is helping!
