Fruit of the Womb ~ Weeks 29-32 (Month 7) ~ Squash

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments. (thebump.com)

Four Years to Forever

Four years ago today I married him. And it was one of the best days of my life.
I am a better person because of him. He is funny, thoughtful, giving, forgiving, patient (oh so very patient) and so much more.

Happy Anniversary, Hubby. I love you so much more than I could ever say.

Holy Cow ~ Down to Double Digits!

I just looked over at my sidebar and saw that there are only 99 days until Little Man is due to make his grand entrance. Only 99 DAYS?!?!?! That's like 3 months! It is going by so fast.

Belated Blog Post ~ The Fair

We took the Peanut to the fair the last week and it was a pretty good day. She wasn’t really into petting any of the sheep or goats, but she did like seeing them, especially the babies.

The chickens and bunnies held her interest a little longer, but not much. She enjoyed sitting on daddy’s shoulders and seeing the horses in the stables and pointed out every time one of them pooped.

We all really enjoyed some fair fare – Pronto Pups, Lemonade and Funnel Cake for all!

Then it was off to ride the pony.

I was actually surprised she did this and enjoyed it as much as she did. She kept saying “giddy-up” and “yee-haw”. It was really cute.

I think the highlight of the Fair for her was the balloon from the tractor dealer and riding the Wiggle Car in the Exhibits Hall. Dada actually enjoyed the Wiggle Car so much that we came home with 2 of them.

It was a fun day and I am glad we were able to go and enjoy it as a family!
