26 Weeks

24 weeks!



25 weeks!



26 weeks!



I passed my glucose test and was told my iron levels were just a little low so I need to take a supplement for that - the same thing happened with my pregnancies with both Luke and Paige so I was ready for that one!

Otherwise I am feeling really good though. My back hasn't been bothering me as much and this baby boy is moving like crazy lately. I can't even tell you what he's doing in there half the time - he's a mover for sure! Luke felt him kick once this week. I think it freaked him out a little bit :) Paige randomly will lift my shirt to give the baby a kiss. I love it (except when we are out and about and she tries to do it - ha!).

I go back to the doctor in 4 weeks and then I do believe we start appointments every 2 weeks. This pregnancy has definitely gone by the quickest for me. I'm entering my busy time of year at work and spring has *hopefully* finally arrived so the next few months should continue to go quickly!

We can't wait to meet this baby boy!

Phone Dump

Considering I haven't pulled out my actual camera in awhile (although I tried for a few pics last week), I thought it was time for a major phone dump. These pictures basically represent everyday life!

Doing more work after his homework - such a good student he is! 

 

Yippee for backwards night! Jammies, dessert, and then supper! 



Shopping for bunk beds is exhausting! 

 

She seriously wanted to go outside like this - yikes! 

 

  My little leprechaun!
   


Pictures from daycare - volcano day! Paige's face is priceless - well, they all are actually! 


 

  
 
 

After a day with Grammy they were totally ready for gymnastics :) 


 

Our sleeping arrangement for a few days while rooms were being painted! 




Sleeping arrangement #2 until the bunk beds got built! 




Getting pampered at the salon - he wasn't so sure about the shampoo-ing! 



A fresh 'do for Luke! 



First night in their bunk beds!

A warm-ish, sunny day!!! 

 

  

The sweetest little boy I know :) 
 

Baby Pool Time!

Well we know Baby Z. is a boy, but when will he arrive and how big will he be???

Make your guess below! Good luck!

Here are Luke & Paige's stats for comparison:

Luke - born 5 days early
7 lbs. 9 oz.
20.5 inches

Paige - born 1 week early
8 lbs. 5 oz.
19.5 inches

It's Baseball Time

We love baseball around here!  And while it does take Daddy away quite a bit during this time of year, there really is nothing like watching the Cubs on tv or listening on the radio or watching the T-Bolts! 

Today was a beautiful day for baseball unfortunately it wasn't such a great game for the Thunderbolts.  The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves though and for the first time in 5 years, I actually got to watch the game - amazing!

I really need to pull my camera out (I don't think I have taken more than 5 pictures on it since we got back from Disney in January!) but here are some phone photos of the first of hopefully many Andrew Thunderbolt games this year!

Luke drew a picture of a batter that morning to bring to Daddy :)



This is what baseball in April looks like around here - long sleeve shirts, hoodies, fleece, hoods up and gloves on.  It did warm up though - that sun is was really shining and it felt good!





A little catch with Paige! "Put your glove up like this."



Step and throw!!! (He likes to throw like the pitchers - high leg kick and all!)



Catch! (Nice follow through!)



"I'll race ya!"





I love these with Daddy in the background!





Go Bolts!

They even got to help rake the pitcher's mound in between games!

All done!



Luke's baseball season kicks off this week with a couple of practices.  He is once again a Brewer! 

Go Cubs, Go Bolts, Go Brewers (the t-ball team only of course!)
