happy friday

yay to it being friday and almost the weekend!!

 hope you all have a very lovely weekend!!

31 weeks

you can see previous bump pics here. Here we are, in the single digits of weeks counting down till baby arrives! It's crazy to me how fast time is really flying with this pregnancy. I am in full nesting mode and want to clean and scrub everything in sight. And afterwards, I want to do it all over again! I am definitely feeling a lot of pressure in my lower back and will have some pretty strong braxton hicks contractions through the day. When that starts to happen I start to panic just a little bit that I will soon be in labor and have to go through all that again. I don't feel ready for that. But the baby is doing well and growing right on schedule and I love feeling this little one move. 

Needless to say, I am super excited to meet this little one and bond and love him or her. It's crazy to think that we will be come a family of six in less than 9 weeks! 

Now if you will excuse me, I need to go scrub something! ;)

Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

wordless(ish) wednesday

we love going to zoos and just watching the animals. playing in the sand and looking for hidden treasures is a favorite of ours too. digging for fossils. we like to explore and climb. and enjoying the day in the sun is a perfect day in our book.
followed by an afternoon nap.

we enjoyed our trip to the Omaha Zoo!

I am also blogging over at Paper Heart Camera today! Go check it out!!

Happy Wednesday!

typical him

i love when he makes this look. looking out of the side of his eyes. i love him. happy tuesday!

summer break

i never realized how crazy busy this summer has been. i am frantically preparing for this new little one to arrive, entertain three other little people and well... just enjoy this summer. we are doing our best to stay cool and still have fun and now with my oldest officially on summer break i feel like we have a little more time to enjoy more during the day!

  seriously so happy to have this guy home with us during the day. i can't get enough of his smiles and laughter and we are going to make the best of this short summer break! 

 happy monday! hope you all have a great week!

morning

i love the mornings when i come down stairs and see a big brother and his little sister just giggling and smiling together. these are the moments that make my heart full. 

 hope you all had a beautiful weekend and a wonderful week ahead!

29 weeks

you can check out previous bump pics here.

 wow! already to the 29th week of this pregnancy! time just seems to fly by for me right now! but i am definitely getting super excited to meet this little one! less than eleven weeks to go! today i had my wonderful glucose test done. i am not a big fan of this and it doesn't matter what flavor or how cold that drink is, i always feel like puking afterwards. hopefully all tests well and we don't have to do it again! it was wonderful listening to that beautiful and strong heart beat. 154 bpm! now we are on to dr. appointments every two weeks! before we know it this little one will be here!! can't wait!!

hope you all have a beautiful weekend!!

the lake

we love heading to the lake. soaking up the sun, playing in the sand and letting the cold water cool us off. definitely a favorite place of ours.
