31 weeks!

21 weeks

31 weeks
Okay, So this is me at 31 weeks. I poke out quite a bit now! A couple of people have told me that I am just all out front- which thats how I feel. I think I have gained in both areas- my bum and belly! Hopefully I wont gain much more in the last 9 weeks that I have left. But usually thats when the baby grows the most- so we will see. I think that this is about the last time that this green shirt will fit- but I wanted to do it for comparsion purposes. It's totally different when you see yourself in the mirror and when you see a picture of yourself. All i usually see is the top of my belly and thats about it. Well, this pregnancy has been quite different from the last and now I feel pretty good most of the time- unless I dont get sleep or now i have started to have some contractions. So... other than that its a whole great experience all over again. I do love to feel him move around- when its not all day ( I get a little sore). But its so reassuring to feel him and know that things are still okay.

What I 've been up to...

This crib blanket has been my little project. It took me about 2 days to get it all finished and then I took it to a lady to get it quilted-because I wan't going to quilt it by hand. I am making my boys matching comforters. Well, rustins is on hold while I get everything ready for the baby and then I will continue to make his. I made up the pattern with the help of jessi and my mom, and I'd say it turned out quite cute! I am way excited to get the room all decorated in monkey's.... I wasn't going to put little peekos on the edges but jessi thought they would be cute and so I gave them a shot and they really aren't that hard to do- What a fun little project. Next, I am going to make a hooter hider- hopefully the pattern that I found on line is easy!

Where's Rustin?

Rustin's new thing is to hide and poop. So we were at my mom's and we were wondering where rustin went. Well, we found him and a stinky corner. I am hoping we are getting closer to potty training, because he will tell me "Mom" and I say "What" and he say's "I'm pooping... " So hopefully he will decide that he wants to start using the potty. If you have any great ideas on how to get them to like the potty- do share!

Brooklynn's Birthday

This is our cute little cousin Brooklynn. She is my sisters little girl. Her and Rusin are only 3mo. apart and it has been fun (Of course they live in weston, so its fun when they are here). Anyway, It was her birthday this mo. so they came out to my dad and mom's to ahve a little birthday party here. We had fun and Brook loved opening her presants-with a little help from the cousins of course.

I think that Rustin likes this toy more than she does......

This picture is so cute to me. I love to see them do things together and they both just colored so nicely together.

Eventually Rustin was sick of coloring and started scanning the book, but Karri says that Brooklynn will color for hours.....

Say Cheese...

I just love these pictures of my handsome little boy. I love to take pictures, and sometimes I think that Rustin doesnt so much. So when I get the chance to take some where he will actually smile and not run from me I love it. He has started to say "Cheese, I wanna see" . So now I have to let him look at the picture after I take it.

Bob the Builder

Bob the Builder is Rustin's favorit show. So for christmas he got bob the builder and wendy dolls. They both talk and rustin loves them. They didnt actually get here for christmas- but that was okay, it just made them that much more fun and exciting. I had to order them because I haven't found any place to by bob the builder toys, only movies... so we have about 4 of those. Needless to say- we usually watch bob the builder a couple times a day and we get to hear bob and wendy sing and talk the rest of the day. There are some days that he wants to watch dora or mickey mouse but other than that we watch bob.

Keeton 4 weeks

I had so much fun taking these pictures. He was such a good baby, and look how adorable he is. He is just starting to get a little chubby and it looks so cute! I still think I see his mamma in him- but I also think he is starting to look like his daddy too. I hope she enjoys these photos as much as I do. It was a good learning experience for me...

I seen a picture taken like this and thought it was so cute, so we tried it and I love it!

She makes such a good big sister... Gives him all her love.

Banana Bread

Okay, So I have this recipe for some banana bread and I have made it when I lived in my old trailer and it is really good. Well for some reason since we have moved in to this house I can't seem to make good banana bread. Either, the bottom is done just right and the top is doughy or the bottom is burnt and the top is just right. I was wondering if I should move my oven rack up one more spot or what I should do. If you have any suggestions or a good recipe let me know......

Little-Big Helper!

Rustin likes to help me with the dishes, he also likes to take his pants off and have me clip this towel around him. One day while I was doing the dishes I pulled this grungie toothbrush out of the cupboard to clean the cracks of some bowls. Ever since that day it is now Rustins cleaning toothbrush. He will clean the dishwasher, cupboards, chairs... whatever, you name it. My house should be spotless--- right?

My Sick little boy...

My poor little boy... I got the little 24 hour puking crap, then he got it- But instead of only lasting 24 hrs... it was about a week and a half. We took him into the doc to see if it was something else, because the had the diarreah to go with it. He got his little finger poked/cut and they took some blood, then he went and got an x-ray. Of course every thing was pretty normal and there was no cause for concern. About a day after he went through that trama he quit puking and pooping. Thank heavens it was nothing, but I sure felt bad for the poor boy. And I told Randy that was about the saddest day for me...
