Final Stretch

6 months!

Yay, I'm in my third (and final!) trimester! I can hardly believe it-- yet, I really CAN believe it, at the same time. Pregnancies seem long to me when I'm the one pregnant. It's a long time to be sick! June... here I come!

So GOOD... yet, so BAD...

My quirky, little son and his new obsession with....

RANCH DIP! 

(The best part is at the end, when he actually DRINKS it!)

Here are his 18-month stats:

Height: 35 in (97th percentile)

Weight: 30 lb 8 oz (95th percentile)

Too Cool for School

He didn't enjoy me distracting him from his toys at Nursery. Does this look say it all??
At home before church, looking dapper

Ethan's first official day of Nursery was today. I can't believe he's 18 months old! Although I'm Nursery Leader, I had the day off (we rotate), and he couldn't care either way if Joe or I was in there with him. He loves Nursery, though he does enjoy taking things from other kids... toys... snacks... chairs... anything. We are working on it. Everyone else's things are entirely too fascinating to him. We have his 1 1/2 year check-up this week, so I will post on that later. I think he's slowed down a bit on the growing... we say he's getting "skinny" now. He's my cute, sweet, 30 lb, "skinny" 18-month-old!

Alien Invader

What a good husband I have. He gets allergies like no other when he works in the yard. Today, he was bound and determined to do it, anyway. Don't you love his mask? I wonder what our neighbors thought.... They probably couldn't care less-- just glad our yard finally looked good!

Tippin' the Scales

I've decided to take a picture each month (from the time I start showing) with this pregnancy, wearing the same clothes. This is one month apart, and it's crazy how much my belly (and baby!) grew! I've already gained 15 pounds this pregnancy, and I've got just under 4 months left. I was just now showing at this point in my pregnancy with Ethan. I'm not worried, though. I know it's common to show earlier with your second. 

We've decided to name our second son Logan William. I have a feeling he'll be earlier than his June 29th due date, which I am completely fine with. I'm getting more excited as the pregnancy progresses, and I'm getting used to the idea of being a mom of two, both under two. I hope Ethan will adapt well to sharing his parents!
