Brothers

While I was cleaning up the lunch dishes today Jack said, "Mom, come look at me hold Nick.  You should take a picture of us."  So I did...

 Then we had Ty jump into the picture.  Too bad I didn't notice the jam on his face.  (The boys LOVE raspberry jam on their peanut butter sandwiches -- their favorite lunch.)

 Nick gets lots of kisses, even when he's asleep tucked into his car seat at church.

37 weeks

People say really odd things to me when I'm pregnant.  Some of my favorites lately have been...

- Older ladies at church.   "I can tell that you're having a boy."  (Really?  How does my stomach look like a baby boy?)
- Another mom from the bus stop.  "You look like you're going to pop."  (Ty asked me when I was going to pop a few weeks ago.)
- Another lady at church.  "You look really tired."  (Thanks!)
- The teenage bagger at Smith's.  "Are you okay?" 
- Another lady at church.  "Why are you here?"
- A sweet older lady at the gym asks me almost every day if I need a mat when it's time to do abs.  I've left early for several months, but it's sweet of her to ask. 

People have also been super sweet and generous.  The ladies in the classes that I go to at the gym collected money and gave me a card today.  One of Dave's co-workers gave us a really expensive stroller that she used for her one child.  Another friend gave us her car seat (since Kate's was made 9 years ago).  People have offered to make me diaper bags and car seat covers. 

I think we're ready for this baby to come.  He just needs to wait two more weeks until school is almost out for Christmas break. Ty reminds me every day that the baby can sleep in his bed with him.  Kate and Jack are sweet and pick things up for me and get me water when I finally sit down on the couch. 

Look at their excitement at dinner tonight...
