Today I'm officially 37 weeks along. Which means little girl is officially full term. Noah was born at 37 weeks. We were so surprised when he came that early. This time I find myself expecting her to come a little early. Which is never a good idea. I've been feeling pretty miserable in that I can't move around very easily.
The house stuff is coming right along, and I'm getting more and more nervous about the timing of everything. Which is another reason I'm getting anxious for her to be here.
I will probably be induced a little early, maybe 5 days, and I'm nervous about that too. So much to pray about right now, and prepare for.
Boxes are slowly being packed, and it is becoming more real that we are actually moving. It's bittersweet really.

Belated Birthday Post
I just realized I didn't post about 2 recent birthdays in our family. I had all intentions to, but for whatever reason didn't. I blame the heartburn. No reason, just feel like blaming everything on it right now. It is starting to defeat the current medication I'm taking for it.
Jonathan's birthday was last month. He turned the ripe old age of 29. :) Ohlen insisted we make a cake. And that it be a Star Wars cake - because Daddy would LOVE a Star Wars cake. Jonathan also loves pizelles, so I made some of those too. Regular anise flavored, and some chocolate ones.
Jonathan loves dark chocolate, so my aim was to try and make a very chocolately cake and icing. I made my go to chocolate cake recipe, but halved it. I used a dark cocoa. I didn't want to make a regular big cake, seeing as it would be just for our immediate family. I made the cake in my widest loaf pan, then cut it in half and made a very small two layer cake.
I really didn't want to make any more icing in different colors like I usually do to decorate. So I found some pictures and fonts online, and made a stencil of sorts. Then I sprinkled powdered sugar over top. It did ok. I should have had a finer powder for the more intricate details, and by the next day the powdered sugar was all dissolved in the frosting so it didn't look as good. But it worked for the little bit that it needed to. :)
Then at the beginning of the month we celebrated Noah's 2nd birthday. We had a small gathering here for that. I did a round layer cake for Noah. I used my go to yellow cake recipe. Noah is really loving strawberries right now, so I mixed some strawberry jam with the frosting for the middle, and garnished the bottom of the cake with quartered strawberries. I decorated the top with Thomas, also a current favorite.
As you can see, I had a helper with both cakes. He was so excited about helping, and keeping the cakes a surprise. He had a great time celebrating the birthdays.
I can't believe my little boy is 2 already. Not to mention his big brother will be 5 in a few short months. And they will have a sister in a month or less. My goodness. Time is slipping through our fingers.
Noah's two year pictures. (A few of them anyways.) I might try again when the sun isn't in his eyes. It was overcast most of the day, until right then. And I'm just noticing how shadowed his face is. Oh well, I still like them. :) He was in a great mood to be photographed that day.
House stuff is still trucking right along. The timing is going to be interesting to say the least. I don't think it matters when this little girl decides to come. It is going to be interesting regardless.

35 weeks
Today I switched to a different blood thinner. The biggest change with that is that I have to inject twice a day... But it will give me a better chance at getting an epidural, should I choose to get one.
5 weeks.... So close. And she could be here sooner too. Next week starts every week appointments, plus biweekly non stress tests. They monitor baby's movements/heart rate and if I'm having contractions. Not a big deal, except for having to find sitters for the boys. I'm hoping maybe they'll let me do it in the evening.
House stuff is going along good. Slowly packing. Excited about the new place. We picked everything out last week. I'm most excited about the new kitchen appliances and not having to go down two sets of stairs for the laundry (although, that might be the pregnancy talking).
This weekend we are camping (10 minutes from the hospital) and we all can't wait! After that baby girl can come when ever she wants. :) You know, because they listen like that.

The view from here, or the weeks of hilarity
At this point I usually start having days filled with discomfort and down right hilarity. Mundane every day activities have become comedy routines. Putting on socks, getting off the couch, picking something up off the floor, putting on pants, walking....
Those fluttery light kicks are no more. Now I can be sitting and WHAM I get a swift kick to the bladder (and the amusing effort to get off the couch and waddling to the bathroom immediately follows.) My whole stomach can be misshapen, lopsided. And very often there is a little rump pushing up on my ribcage.
The heartburn...is not, nor will ever be, even close to resembling humor.
And, of course, there are all sorts of new functions for this belly. Makes a great book rest when I'm reading. Phone holder when watching tv. Mug rest, food catcher, etc.
I'm not sure how it is going to get any bigger, but it will, it always does.
So things have been pretty amusing around here. I'll leave you with my favorite quote of the day from Ohlen: Mommy I love you so much. I love you more than the bees love you.
Yeah, I have no idea how much the bees love me, but I'll take it. :)

Honeydew or Pineapple
Depending on which site you look at baby girl is now as heavy as either a pineapple or a honeydew.... Not sure if I like this produce comparison - especially as the produce gets heavier and heavier...
Had to edit because I forgot to add - I'm about 33.5 weeks along - so about 6.5 to go. :)
I had an ultrasound last week. Everything looks great. She is definitely a girl. Which was such a relief to see. And as a special bonus, the tech I saw had a student with her. They asked if I would allow her to practice a bit. Of course!! So I got to watch baby for an extra 10 - 15 minutes. It was great. I also got to see one of my old Obs. He was the one that delivered Noah and I just think he is great. I think all the Obs up there at the Maternal Fetal Medicine office are great. It was a little worrying to see him, because usually they just send down an ok for me to be able to go. He actually sat down and looked around a little too. He and the tech talked a little about amniotic fluid level, and he assured her that there was adequate fluids. So I'm assuming that's why he came down. The tech was super too, by the way. She was pretty no nonsense, but she told me everything she was taking measurements of, and what it did. So very cool. According to the ultrasound measurements she is weighing about 4lbs 3oz, but it's just a guess and can be off either way. But it seems to be a pretty average weight to me.
As for me, I've been feeling pretty good. Well over the weekend I was feeling great. I was out all day Friday - first to the zoo with play group and then hiking with our small group. (There really wasn't that much hiking) And I was feeling really good. Didn't feel too bad Saturday either. However, Sunday and yesterday were a different story. I was feeling some pretty sharp pains when I would stand from sitting, and occasionally when walking. So that was no fun. But I took it easy and today is alot better.
I'm feeling so very useless as far as all this house stuff goes. Jonathan is already running around moving around some things - getting ready to move all his tools over. And I can't help at all. I'm hoping to get a few things boxed up here and there while I'm still feeling good enough too. I figure I can box up alot of our decorative things, and other things that we don't really use that often.
I really have some sewing things that I want to get done - I just really don't know when it is going to happen. There are 2 in particular that I really need to get done, and really want to get done before the baby gets here, but between that and packing, I really don't know when it will happen.

Shocked
Our house is sold. Well I think the technical term is under contract.
5 days after signing papers to put it on the market, we signed a purchase agreement.
Shocked, amazed, blessed, thankful, so very thankful
Date of possession is the day after my due date. Yikes.
I've been praying this whole time for contentment with whatever timing God chooses for this. And I am. Completely content. Despite that Yikes up there. It is more of a smiling laughing yikes, rather than an actually scared nervous yikes.
We are in a frenzy trying to get our new place on a roll. Trying to plan, choose, make decisions.
I've been feeling pretty nostalgic. Thinking about all the great memories from the last 5 years in this house. (took these pictures on the day we staged for the pictures for the realtor. It really isn't usually this tidy. :))

Dining room area - countless board games, lots of laughter, Noah's first diaper change at home that resulted in a fountain sprinkling the table, teaching little ones to eat. The stairs - Just images in my head of the boys learning to go up and down and just sliding down on their bellies.
Oh, the bathroom. Originally the wrong paint color, the struggle to keep it clean. :) Potty training.... Had I ever blogged about the cupboard? Jonathan added that several months ago - it's great.
I don't think this room need any explanation. :) This little girl may or may not get to sleep here.
So many things baked and cooked here. I will miss my countertops, but looking forward to more space. Especially more storage space. And the island I will be getting. (over the moon excited for this)
I'll keep this space updated as we progress through this process. On this week's agenda is talking to banks and the house people. Jonathan also has jury duty this week. And we will celebrate Noah's second birthday. Should be busy and fun. :)

Sane?
We have a new piece of lawn decor...
Yep, our house is on the market...again... This will be the third time we've attempted to sell a house. The first time we were hugely successful. The 2nd... not so much. We're hoping and praying that this time goes smoother.
So yes, we're moving. No overseas aspirations this time. Nothing Earth shattering. Nothing my mom will be distraught over the thought of. (love you Mom!) Several months ago we purchased a plot of land from Jonathan's grandma. The land is part of the property where Jonathan's dad grew up. His grandma and Uncle's family live right there as well. They will be our only real close neighbors. Luckily, we all like each other (so far, right? :-D) Ohlen is super excited and is insisting that our new house is going to be blue. Noah has no clue, but I have a feeling that living next to his great Uncle that will give into his requests for "Brrm Brrm Ride (brrm brrm = tractor) will be fine with him.
How do I feel about it all? I'm excited. I love my house, the land, and our neighbors. But change like this doesn't scare me anymore. God is with me where ever on this planet we live. And as long as my family is coming along - that's home to me. I'm excited about having more trees around, and building a tree house with the kids. I'm excited about picking out colors and things for the new place. I'm excited about saving more money, because we are downsizing. I have to admit, when Jonathan first mentioned putting in a manufactured home, I was very skeptical. But, the more we researched, the more we really fell in love with the idea. The one we are looking at will have about the same square footage as our house now. The outside walls will actually be thicker. AND they include a new appliance package with the house, and can I just tell you how exciting that is. (such a nerd) Plus - Jonathan will be closer to work. We will be closer to church. And we will be closer to family. We'll have to learn the balance there, you know? But I think we'll get it. There is so much I can learn from the women that will be living steps from my front door, about life and about other things like canning, gardening, and other various things of that nature. And I hope I will be able to bless them in return as well. And hope that my children don't drive them all insane.
Ok, so this is getting long, feel free to skim right over. :)
As for the question of sanity. As most of you very well know, I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. If we sell tomorrow, we would be moving into our new place in about a month and a half (there abouts) That's about two weeks before I am due... Allow me to remind you that Noah came 3 weeks early. If the house sells in a month... that will be terribly interesting. We sell in 2 - 3 months, we'll be trying to pick new house things with a newborn. Sell in 3+ months we will be showing the house with a newborn, attempting to keep the house all cleaned up with a newborn, toddler, and preschooler. Pray for us - pray hard. :-D But really, we've been here before. We moved into this house when Ohlen was about a month old. We had to paint all the walls and stain all the woodwork. None of that this time (THANK goodness) I am wiser in the ways of babies this time, and in the ways of keeping myself sane and healthy, so I know my limits. I am well prepared for months of box living if we have to. I'm prepared to allow others to come in and help and put my things away, even if they might go places that I wouldn't first choice. I'm prepared to allow Jonathan to organize the kitchen if I am too busy dealing with a newborn. I will have plenty of time to reorganize things later.
This insanity also is what had me up at 6am Monday morning finishing the touch up painting. And then cleaning and staging the entire house for pictures. It was quite the morning. Needless to say, I did not do much the rest of the day, and decided to take today off, for the most part, too. I did some wonderful outside reading while the kids played outside. It was pretty glorious.
So that is the excitement of our house at the moment. We would appreciate prayers as we forge ahead. And if you know anyone in the market for a house..... :-D

A conversation with Noah
Noah - sitting at the table after his nap - eating a banana: Ohl? ... Ohl?
Me: Ohlen? He's outside.
Noah: Side? pause Bike?
Me: Yep
I love how my boys care about each other. They keep track of each other.
And Noah's vocabulary is starting to sky rocket - much like Ohlen's right around this time.

Spring!
First - today is so much better than yesterday. Thanks to an amazing partner and my little boys I got some encouragement, laughter, and just a lift up out the hole I was starting to dig myself. The sunshine today helps too. :)
Just a little evidence that spring is here - and there will be wonderful colors showing up around here soon. And the grass is starting to turn that wonderful shade of green.

Milestones of sorts
Two milestones of sorts this week.
Less than 10 weeks to go until this little girl comes. (I can say that pretty confidently as they usually say they won't let me go past my due date.) It always seems like a big deal when the week count goes down to a single digit. (Today is actually 9 weeks and 5 days, counts right?) If she is like Noah, though, I could only have about 6 and 1/2 weeks. At this moment that sounds a whole lot better than 10. I'm starting to feel really off balance and clumsy, not to mention all the weight gain and dwelling on the task of losing it. I have good days and bad days about that whole issue. Let's just say today is not a good day. One of those days when you want to just go to bed to get the day over with. The frustrating part is that it has nothing to do with anyone else, it's all self inflicted craziness. BUT - even as I sit here I can feel this little girl moving all around and it does give me a sense of confidence and determination to be a good role model for her. (and the boys too) Plus, I want to be able to be active with them. I want to live a long and healthy life with my amazing husband. I just know I have a long road ahead - and one that I'm going to have to be going down my whole life. I'm not one that will be able to lose it all, and then slack off - because it will all come back. It is going to take a complete life style makeover that will have to stick - and that is daunting, and days like this it seems to come crashing down on me. I know I need to lean on God for this. I sometimes forget, He cares about this stuff too. And I think He wants me to be all healthy too.
Ok, on to something more fun. Another milestone here at our house.
Ohlen has ditched the training wheels!!!
I try very hard to not be the boastful, bragging parent. But I have to tell this story. And know that he does not get his balance, determination, fearlessness from me. He is about 95% his daddy. :)
So, Saturday afternoon Ohlen decides he wants to try to take his training wheels off. I thought this was more of a daddy job - especially when mommy is 30 weeks pregnant - but Ohlen was pretty determined. So out we went. I took the training wheels off and headed to the grass. It was a little mushy from some rain, so it wasn't going too well. I was trying to hold onto the back, but it was hard for him to pedal on the grass - and I was having a bit of trouble with the whole bending and running. So I told Ohlen we should wait until daddy gets home. He again insisted that he try on the gravel drive. So we go over and I try one time to hold on to the bike, definitely not working. So Ohlen says he will do it by himself. So he takes his bike to the very end of the drive - and rides it to the garage! I couldn't help myself -I was just laughing. Have you ever just had to laugh out of pure joy? The happiness is so great it just bubbles out? He was too - laughing the whole way. And that was the end of my intervention. From there on, he was riding. Sure he has taken some falls and spills - but, yeah, so proud of my little boy.
Now the pictures - I hadn't even thought to take my camera out right away - but this was just a little later. I so should have forced him to do a posed big smile picture. Maybe I can get one of him swinging a hammer at his training wheels - or throwing them in the trash. :) He would probably like that.
