Don't Think About Having a Baby...

Its all about your "attitude" when you are 37.5 weeks pregnant...

Just whatever you do, don't think about having a baby

...and then you won't go crazy...

You can spend the entire 30 minutes of you kid's bathtime taking pictures of your huge pregnant belly as long as you

don't think about having a baby...

You can take a picture to put on the thank you card for the surprise diaper showing you got last week...as long as you...

don't think about actually having a baby...

You can even play with your kids and build the biggest train track possible using every piece as long as while you do it you

don't think about having a baby...

But at the end of the day everyone knows that all you can really think about...

is having a baby!

Darn, I tried...

Clues Abound

If you look closely around our house these days, you would probably notice that "clues abound" as the to upcoming arrival of one very important new family member...

... of course some are more obvious than others :)

Supposedly, I am 26 days from my due date, but I predict that Baby Cole will be here by next week or just maybe the week after that. How do I know this?

Well, I am the one that is pregnant, right?

...and my doctor visit last week showed that I'm pretty close to labor...

...and I can't possible keep this baby in here for 3 whole more weeks!

New Years Eve

We have had SOOO much fun with Daddy being home for a whole week at Christmas!

New Year's Eve we spent the whole day just hanging out together...

First, a trip to the park in our neighborhood. This is taken next to the creek where the boys literally spent an hour throwing rocks into the water :)

Then, it was time for our "fireworks show"... not Daddy's favorite thing to have a $10 budget, but the boys enjoyed it!

And the grand finale:

First ever movie night in the boy's room! Collin set up the tv on their dresser and we watched the movie Up, and enjoyed popcorn, chocolate chip cookies, & milk. The movie ended and the boys went to bed at 8:30.

Collin and I watched about 2 hours of Back to the Future, saw the ball drop live NYC time at 11pm here, and we were all fast asleep as the new year quietly arrived.

Most definitely my favorite New Year's Eve ever!
