The week in review via the iPhone:
Our weather has been like this every day all day this week – mid 70’s and sunny. It could not be nicer, now we just need it to stay….forever.
I made a cake for Brady’s cousin’s gender reveal party. It was a white cake that I frosted white and decorated with pink and blue dots. The inside was filled with blue icing because they are having a baby BOY!!! It was so much fun!
We had a fun dinner at Hallie and John’s house, where Anna got to play with their nephew, Danny. Can you tell they had a blast!
Brady said there are only a few more years before the no blankets with boys rule goes into effect.
Lots of yard work was accomplished with these little muscles.
Including spreading 8 yards of mulch. I can’t say I even lifted a single shovel full this year, luckily Anna filled in my place.
We have eaten many lunches together on the deck this week.
My lunch – an ugly mix of sauteed broccoli slaw, Trader Joe’s Meatless Meatballs and avocado on a bed of romaine.
Anna’s lunch – eggs, cucumber and a string cheese.
We have mastered this new puzzle that Barb and Shelby gave Anna for her birthday!
And my tummy is still growing! I thought I had a good 27 week picture but I cut off my head on it….
and also it was at 5:15 am with no makeup or anything done to my wild hair. I will try harder for a real one next week! I can’t believe that 27 weeks are gone and I am just about to start my 3rd trimester. In some ways, it seems like we just found about baby #2. And then when I think about the fact we found out Thanksgiving weekend, that seems like years ago.
Anyway, I am still teaching 4 of my classes and planning on cutting down in the next few weeks. I have been having bad sciatica pain and am hoping that cutting down a little will help. It’s worth a shot at this point. 🙂
As far as food goes, nothing really is off limits to my taste but my desire for chicken and turkey has subsided. I still like it, but I am not wanting it everyday like I was for a while. Not sure what that means. 🙂
Also, the Sweedish fish addiction has kicked up.
We are in the process of narrowing down names and have about 3 boys and 3 girls that are in the running as of now. Any good suggestions?
How was your week?
danny and anna look so cute!! such a fun night! you look amazing as always….loving sweedish fish too btw 🙂 haha
Are you going to publish those six favorite names …or make us suffer? Has Elsie started up th baby pool for date and gender? We’ll have to get her going. That’s an important job!
Hey Ali! I just realized you and I are on the same schedule. I’m 28 weeks! So fun. Hope you are feeling/doing well. LITB – Christine
