30 weeks...getting close!

We are in the final 10 weeks, which is both exciting and terrifying :) My biggest concern...Eli. My little momma's boy isn't going to know what hit him. I just hope he handles losing his "baby of the house" status better than I think he will.

Isaiah!

Another cute baby boy (if I do say so myself!).

Kind of caught up...

This is really all just the second half of our summer in all the new posts. But at least there are some pictures of the boys for the family to see.

Brandon is now working out of town...I swear he gets sent out every time something major happens, or is about to happen. He expects to be gone for a good couple of months, but he is home Friday night and leaves again Sunday morning. He is only a couple hours away, so it's not terrible, and I know if I need him, he will be able to get home fairly quick...but it still stinks having him away. We did however get new phones right before he left that have internet access so now we play scrabble on them every night before bed together, and they can send video messages so the boys are able to tell Daddy goodnight through the videos and also see Daddy on the videos he sends. All in all, it's not so bad I suppose. We are really just thankful that he has stayed busy during the last few years, when so many other places just haven't had the work!

So, that's about it I guess! We have had a pretty eventful summer, and can't wait for what Fall will bring :)

Our Isaiah

If your on Facebook...sorry these are all repeats...but I know some non Facebook family have yet to see our ultrasound picture of our handsome little man! This was at 19 weeks, so a good couple months ago. Our next ultrasound will be in another week and hopefully I will get some really good shots of some chubby cheeks! And this time if they tell me he's going to have a ton of hair...I'll wait until I see it to believe it. Eli has yet to sprout all that hair they were discussing at his 30 week ultrasound!

29 weeks

Since its been a pretty long time since I posted a belly picture on here...we are 29 weeks today. 11 to go!

Helping Daddy Out

They boys like to help Brandon fix things...they are super helpful as you can imagine :) Notice Noah is holding a couple of his own hammers and a bright red wrench.

Miss Ella

My sister in law Jenn gave birth to another healthy little girl last week! Ella Charlotte Ann. She was 20 inches long, and 7 lbs and 15 oz! Isn't she a doll!?!?!

Blank Park Zoo

A few weeks ago we went over to the Des Moines zoo with Brandon's family. It was hot, and exhausting...but so much fun!

I'M BACK!

We finally got our new computer! And over the next day or two I will work on adding all our recent pics and posting some here. The boys have changed so much since the last picture post!

In other news...Eli had his 18 month check up today (although he is almost 19 months). He was 33 inches tall, 26lbs and healthy as can be!

Anyway...stay tuned...pictures to come!

Another quick update

Still no computer, but we are getting closer to buying one! Just deciding exactly what I want.

I'm 26 weeks and ready to be done! This pregnancy has been a little harder on me than the others and I'm just exhausted and nauseous on and off all the time. But I really can't complain too much since I know it isn't as bad as some people get, and the last two pregnancies have been a breeze so I will just count my blessings and wait for November as patiently as I can.

Eli is 18 months old and a sweetheart. He is talking more, picking up more words, and changing so much (like finally sprouting a little hair). He has been waking up at night again, which is draining, but he's such a snuggle bunny so I don't mind too much...but a full nights sleep would be nice to get before Isaiah comes. Eli is such a momma's boy I'm a little worried how he will handle another baby, but I hope he transitions well. He moved to a big boy bed a few weeks ago, and in another few weeks we will move him into Noahs room and be all ready to hand the nursery over to baby brother!

Noah is ...well he's Noah! He is still his silly goofy self. He manages to make me smile all day with his silly sayings. The other day he feel flat on his face and I thought for sure he would start crying, but the kid just looked up at me and said "that's what you call falling with style!". He is also a smarty pants (yes I know everyone thinks that about their kids). The other day I was getting ready andhe came into the bathroom and asked me "do you spell frog f-r-o-j?". Sure, he didn't get it just right, but that's pretty good for a not quite 3 year old!

So that's it...hopefully I can get some updated pictures of the kiddos up soon!
