This weekend was fabulous - we had NOTHING that we had to do. Sure, mowing the lawn, cleaning up, etc. but nothing scheduled! Friday night we just hung out I think; I don't even remember.
Saturday we got up and went to the Farmers Market, Sams Club and then hung out at home. While Justin napped Rob and I got the yard mowed, trees/bushes trimmed and yard swept. Then Katie & Josh came over and we grilled steaks and had a fire.
Sunday we were planning on going to the Air show, but that didn't happen. I asked Justin in the morning if he wanted to go see the airplanes at the airshow and he correlated that with seeing Grandma Airplane and Papa. I told him that we couldn't - they were at home and he started bawling. He would not quit asking to go to Las Vegas. I told him we couldn't because mommy can't go on an airplane and he went and asked Rob if he'd take him because Mommy said no...and then he bawled again. Which of course I'm bawling too because it just breaks my heart. Then he sees me crying and gets even sadder. Not a good morning. We scrapped the airshow idea and played outside instead. Then came nap time. Saturday was horrible for naptime. He would not go to sleep until I finally laid with him 90 minutes after we originally put him down. Sunday he wanted to sleep on his cot (like he does during the week with E&S). We told him sure - so we put him in the toyroom on his cot with the music on and the curtains closed and he slept for almost 4 hours!!! I think we'll just keep his normal nap routine on the weekends too :) We then just went grocery shopping, had dinner on the deck and played outside until bed time. It was wonderful!
Speaking of E&S - the new childcare situation is going SO GOOD!!!! We are so very happy with how everything is turning out. It's such a good feeling knowing that he's being so well taken care of and having fun. I am sure some of you saw the pics Ericka posted on Facebook and tagged me in; doesn't he look happy? I can't wait for Mason to be born and get the same care :) Sometimes it doesn't seem real that our kids get Ms E & Ms S all to themselves (almost) instead of with 16 other kids!
According to the ticker we are down to 45 days! I know I've said it before, but on one hand that seems like tomorrow and on the other it seems SO FAR away!!! I am down to about 5 articles of clothing that fit me. It's not because I'm too cheap to buy new things - it's because when you are a size XL to begin with, it's hard to find clothes. Sure they make maternity in plus size - but they make it wider - not longers. I don't need it wider! I have been wearing baby doll dresses with leggings to work everyday because that is about all that covers my belly. Mason is moving around like crazy, but running out of room. It hurts when he decides it's time for karate and/or soccer time. I am enjoying being pregnant, but I'm ready for it to be over! At least we have a few things coming up to look forward to that will make time go by faster.... This weekend G&G Brooks are coming to visit, then after work on the 30th we are going to Kalamazoo for a long weekend - I can't wait! It will be the Jacobs, Yinglings, Uncle Ry/Aunt Mana, Uncle Mikey, G&G Rosebush and even G&G Metzler are coming for a day to visit! The only piece missing are mom and dad :( We will get to see them soon though when Mason is born and we can't wait!!!! I really hate the miles that separate our family - no fun.
Work is really busy too so that helps pass the time. Although since the new child care situation, I work a lot more! I don't stay home and leisurly check email/voicemails and hang around the house to watch Hot Topics on The View :) I miss Joy and Sherri....Elizabeth not so much. But I am getting much more accomplished at work; like filing - something I was severly behind on!
I think that's all going on here....I'll post more later this week. We have our 4D ultrasound Friday morning! I can't wait. This is where we actually get to see his face like we did with Justin. With Justin though it was a place that you pay to do it just for fun. They don't have those around here, but our doctor uses the 4D at the 34 week ultrasound. We are taking Justin with us to this one - I think he'll get a kick out of it and it might make it more real for him :)
Playing on his new swingset. We bought the stain for it - we have to sand the edges and stain it later this summer.
He wouldn't go down the slide for the first few weeks, it's pretty fast. Now he loves it!
What a ham - I love him so much :)
Trying to drink from the hose, but not understanding not to spray it up his nose!!!
Ice cream cone, sunshine and a freshly mowed lawn... I love summer!
What's better than soccer? Naked soccer!
This was from a while ago, but this was the first time that Justin beat Rob in Wii bowling :) He was so proud!
He will have to see if he can beat Grandpa Brooks this weekend!

We had the same issue with the slide on the playset at my mom's house. She bought the same slide. It's so fast! She actually ended up moving hers to a lower level because Noah refused to stop going down it, and he kept flying off the end and getting hurt.
The naked soccer picture is hilarious!
Glad the new day care is going so well. Being totally happy with where you leave your babies makes life so much better!
