29 Weeks

Emily took these pictures when she and Océanne were over the other night. As you can see it's becoming more difficult to carry Anna - at least in the normal way. I guess the belly can act as a nice little ledge sometimes!


I've been feeling the urge to prepare our house and family for number two's arrival. Anna talks about baby sister all the time, puts stickers on her, talks to her - but I really think she has no clue how much things will change when she's born.

The pregnancy is going so smoothly I really have nothing to write about! That's a good thing I suppose. She's very active - in fact, I just felt a few jabs and kicks as I'm typing.

It may sound strange but I'm really looking forward to the birth experience. I can't wait to see how different it is from Anna's or how much it's the same. I'm trying not to have too many expectations - especially when my OB tells me how much faster and easier this one will be!

Arizona

Surprise! We flew to Arizona last weekend to surprise Todd's sister Lee for her birthday (I won't mention which one but let's just say it's a big one!). Grandma J had been in cahoots with Lee's boyfriend James for months and planned a fun and surprising birthday dinner with Lee's closest friends on Saturday night.

The highlight for Anna was definitely the time we spent at Auntie Lee's house the next day. She has four horses, three dogs, and I'm not sure how many cats. It was like her own personal petting zoo. Anna was impressed!

It was such a fun trip and so nice to spend time with Lee and James, and Jeannette and Jack.

Giddy up!

I don't see a resemblance, do you?

Carrot treat for Casper - his eyes were beautiful!

Auntie Lee's house is fun!
