Breanna asked to play in the snow and I was so excited about that. I told Jesse to get his snow pants on, he didn't want to, so I said, well it's either outside or in bed. He went to bed. As you can see, I feel very strongly about my kids' outside time. Breanna went out and had a great time. About half an hour later I went into Jesse's room, dragged him out of bed and got him dressed in his snow gear myself. He went outside and had so much fun he didn't want to come in. He could stay out there all day if he had someone to play with and Breanna comes in the second her hands start to get a teensy bit cold. My kids have played outside more in the last few days than they have in a long time. It makes me so happy. I can't wait to take them sledding! I just wish I could get out there and roll around in it with them. I can't, though. I have no coat or snow pants that fit. Look at how happy Breanna is!!
Speaking of beautiful creations, look at this little boy. Beautiful inside and out. I swear he's in overdrive all the time. But then at night when Brad and I go to tuck him in he's always asleep with his scriptures open beside him. Last week was the primary presentation. Jesse was all over the place as he stood in his chair-bouncing, twisting, leaning this way and that way- but he knew all the words to all the songs and sang loud. Really loud. But in tune! He has a very nice voice.
See my puffy red face reflected in the mirror? Yes I am in my underwear. These kids are ready for church, but I didn't go to church today. Even though I wanted to. I am the never-ending pregnant woman. I look like I'm ready to have the baby by the time I'm 6 1/2 months. You can imagine the comments I get at 9 months pregnant. Like, when are you going to have that baby? It makes me uncomfortable just looking at you! I've never seen a belly like that. You must be ready to pop now! Girl, when are you due? Is it twins? Etc. Etc. I just couldn't bear it today, or to wear the same dress I've worn for the past 6 Sundays in a row. Yes, the mumu. Brad said to me last Sunday: "That dress is a bit...played." Yes, yes it is.
I am trying everything to hurry up and have this baby. Today would have been perfect. Alas. Just one teensy contraction? Please? I was overdue with both of my other children. Jesse 8 days, Breanna 10. So I'm envisioning myself missing 3 more weeks of church. Or going next week and listening to this from everyone I see in the hallway: "you're still pregnant??????????"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :)
I had the weirdest dream that you went into labour and delivered the baby at church. So in my expert opinion, you should skip it until the baby gets here, just to be on the safe side :P
ReplyDeleteyour kids are so beautiful, Sarah! I haven't seen a picture of your boy in years. My, how he has grown.
ReplyDeletewhen are you due? I could give you a list of natural inductions to try. And I noticed you are with midwives. hurray!!! is this your first with them? where are they in the city? I am so glad midwives are making a comeback. I loved mine and wouldn't trade my beautiful waterbirths for anything....i'm babbling. anyway, write me back if you can-facebook or whatever.
This picture of Jesse gave me a glimpse into what he'll look like when he's a teenager, and he's going to be a total babe.
ReplyDeleteI think people make comments about pregnant women because they're getting excited about the baby coming, and they want to say something, so they sometimes say the wrong thing.
