36 Weeks!

The belly compare above....Monster on Left, Barracuda on Right!

About baby:  As far as the OB says, baby is measuring right on track and is about 5.5 lbs and already probably 18 inches long. (Griffin was 7.5 lbs and 19 inches at birth, so we are so close).

About mama:  Good days, bad days, ok days....I'm having some of each, but most of the time I'm just ready to meet this little person and am also starting to get a little tired of being pregnant.  The weight keeps creeping on, but I guess that is to be expected.  Mentally, I hate watching the scale move up, but I know that the final stretch is on...and so far, no stretch marks!  Huge win in my book...not that I see bikinis and tube tops in my future, but it's just nice to have a little piece of me remain the same.  Selfish maybe, but hey, I'm honest. 

Emotionally, I struggle with this being the last time I'm pregnant.  Both pregnancies have been such a blessing and relatively easy.  I've continued to go to my chiropractor to help with the low back tension and am also doing yoga weekly until we meet this little person.  I know that what lies ahead is the best!  As I type, 'cuda is rolling and moving up a storm...like "it" knows I'm writing about "it".

Planning for baby: Less than 4 weeks away from meeting this little person and we are READY.  It's time to start washing, sorting and putting things away....and even getting the cradle and carseat ready for 'cuda's arrival.  Seems like forever and just right around the corner at the same time.

The rest of April!

The month of April continued to be BUSY, BUSY, BUSY....and was spent playing outside with his cousin and BFF! I swear each month is getting more crazy and I think it's because of this active little man.  Gosh, we are having a blast thought watching him grow, change, explore and develop!

Not only was there outside fun...but we "occasionally" have a little fun inside too (like everyday)!

Play hard...sleep hard!  Some days I forget how little he still is (until I see him in his PJ's all crashed out).  

LOVE BUG!

Goofing around with mama having a no-pants party...must be a Wednesday!

Chilling with Elmo waving BYE-BYE in the morning!

Another week...another Friday fun-day with GiGi!

And who can forget about #1...resting up after a long day at doggie daycare!

Friday night dinner with the family...trying spaghetti for the first time!  He mastered the "Lady and the Tramp" slurp!  He just needed a lovely lady on the other side!

This was a "HI DADDY" picture while Rich was out of town...look at that CHEESE BALL!

And this was the "GOOD NIGHT DADDY" picture to go along with Rich being gone.

While daddy was away, Grammy and Grandpa Boness spoiled G and I and took us out to dinner!  This little man has to DIP everything...EVERYTHING!  

Yes, that is a "ranch-stache"!

Grammy and Grandpa B with the man of the hour!

I said they spoiled us while Rich was gone...this time it was brunch and Jenn and Jilly joined too!  Grammy with #1 and #2 grandbaby...soon that whole bench will be filled with babies!

Seriously, he is 18 months going on 18 years....can we say MR. INDEPENDENT!

Grandpa, G and me

Grandpa reading to G

Grandpa and G being silly...so much love between these two!  G telling Grandpa how excited he is that he retired and can't wait to have fun all summer with him!

Back to work for the parents and back to fun at Grammy and Grandpa's house for the kiddos....GOOF BALLS!

My little stud...TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL with his shades on!

Enjoying an afternoon cookie at Starbucks! Weekday fun!

Just working on the yard...look at that form! 

BUBBLES!!!!

This kid is a machine when it comes to food...on this night Grandma Meyer was over and got to see him in action!  Griffin 1, Cous Cous 0.  He annihilated it!

Outside. Inside. Upside. Downside.  April was a fun and hectic month (and it's taken me most of May to finally get it updated).  May has started out a blast already with another visit from Grandma and Grandpa Meyer, weekly play dates with G and his buddies Liv and Owen, home projects and more....now to get the blog updated to show you all the fun we have been having!  Until then....
