OK... Here we go!!! Week 40 and progress

Week 40 belly shot with the USA jersey

I am going into the hospital tomorrow March 22nd @ 7:45am in hopes that this baby will appear:) Conrad left this morning for an audition in NY. Unexpectedly, after news from my 40 week check up, I had to call him following his audition to let him know that things were starting to progress and he needed to get home. He had planned on staying overnight in NY with a couple of good friends Elspeth Davis and Laura Strickling.

Week 35 with Buggy

Well, I am 35 weeks with Buggy and I AM READY!!! The nursery seems to be mostly done, and Ben's room is complete. Now all we need is to wash the baby clothes and put them in the dresser for Buggy. Here are a few picks on Ben in his new bed, which he LOVES. He is currently a snot rocket due to yet another cold, so we have been changing his sheets like they were a one time use thing. Ah well, such is life with a toddler in daycare:)

Week 35 with Buggy... BIG BELLY!!!

For the sake of comparison, here is a belly shot from 36 weeks with Ben.

Ben turns 2!!!

Benny turned two last Saturday. He got some great gifts, ate pizza and cake, and graduated to a big-boy bed. Of course the the best gift of all (though he may not see it that way for a few years (decades?)) will be his new brother or sister this March.

Thanks to Gaumie for Benny's new hand-crocheted blanket!

Benny in the Leaves

Benny totally got into "raking" leaves yesterday while daddy mowed the lawn and mommy pruned.

Week 23 for Buggy

Can't believe it but Buggy and I are already into week 23! Time really does pass quickly when things get crazy busy. As I suppose happens often with the 2nd child, this is the first shot I have taken with Buggy whereas I started documenting with Ben at week 12:( My goal is to not make this a trend. Buggy and I have our Doc's appointment on Tue and I feel confident that my trend of losing weight is over! I had lost 10 lbs. at the last appointment which apparently is a big no-no. I guess I am pre-programed to think "YES" when there is weight-loss involved. Anyway when I get the new stats I will update.

We are really getting excited to welcome this new treasure into our crazy lives. Monkey finally noticed my increasing belly size and started poking at it tonight. It was too funny. It was almost like he was trying to deflate me:)
