Our Deck

I finally got around to taking a picture of the deck that Ant built. I feel like a kid again with a tree fort in my backyard. My little hideaway from the world. Next year a hot tub and my life will be complete, well almost I'm sure a working vehicle is on a list of things somewhere, but we're not talking about that..... oh you want to know.... Ok so we finally sold our CRV, which is great on so many levels, no car payment, but mostly that we would not have all fit into it once the baby arrives (which has not by the way I'm still sitting here with swollen feet and a sore back). I mentioned a while back that we picked up a minivan, a cheep, lots of quirks type, that could get us from point A to B. Well as we pulled away after selling CRV, we didn't get to far before the quirks lost there endearing qualities and were sitting on the side of the road. Now we did get her home and Ant is working on her right now so she will be as good as funny quirks in no time :)

37 Weeks

Had a doctors appointment today. Instead of being early this time I was late. They had written 11:45 on my card and the appointment was at 11:15. The Doctor did see me even though he was about to go on lunch. Lets just say it was quick... heart rate 140, measuring at 38 weeks and weight was only up half a kg over the last two weeks. Here's the door :)
I lost my ankles this weekend which is way better then last time I went for months without them. Really pretty, I want to share them with you but I wouldn't want to blind you.
I'm off to work on some pictures so I can cheer someone up tomorrow.

Week 36

I'm now uncomfortable, I am looking forward to having my body back. To do things like walk and oh say roll over and get out of bed with out my bambinos throwing me a pity party and helping me get up. The circumference of my waist is now larger then the twins :) thanks for that I was wanting new stretch marks. There is still lots of movement, and my belly is almost always displaying a limb or a bum. I still can't see myself as a mother of 3, I guess that comes from years of infertility and wondering if I would ever be a mom at all. I feel so blessed and can't wait to meet this little.

Happy Anniversary

I want to wish my husband a Happy Anniversary!
We have been married for 8 years now.
WOW! Really that long......
Love you babe

We are still waiting

Although many have been blessing me with thoughts of an early delivery, I'm not holding on to to much hope for this.
I have been really feeling the photo bug lately, I have even went to great lengths to clean some substantial space off my computer...... of course only to be replaced with more, but I have made some steps in streamlining the process to keep it a little cleaner.

Our day at the beach, Oh how we love the beach.

Ava loves the water, my little water baby.

Ethan is in the sand, he can play for hours.

This Pregnancy

I have tried to write so many posts about this pregnancy, but have erased them as they never became any longer then a sentence or two.

Dear Baby,
This pregnancy has been both long and short. I have been pregnant all of 2009 so far, and can't remember a time that you were not with me. We have decided not to find out whether you are a girl or a boy. This has made naming you quite difficult. We have no names at all picked and I'm slightly worried that you'll leave the hospital know only as Baby H. Everyone guessing pink or blue has changed their minds several times. I have said from the beginning that I'm pretty sure your a boy, but my guess is girl. This means when you come out I will have been right and expecting you all along. I think that you may be a soccer player with the strength of some of you kicks. I have on many occasions had to push your little feet back so that you don't create a foot shaped stretch mark on my stomach. You are more active then the twins combined which gives me this over whelming feeling that I may never sleep again :), but I'm sure that once you get here you will be perfect, sleeping, eating and well over all just as wonderful as your brother and sister. Your older siblings make sure they wish you a good morning with a hug and sometimes a kiss. Ava often cuddles you and tells you how cute you are "oh cute baby". I'm so excited for the three of you to meet, you will be the three amigos and I'm sure will assist each other in all kinds of trouble.
Your arrival will be in the next month, there are guesses as early as the 17th of Aug, but that seems so soon. My guess is just after your due date on the 9th of Sept. Your Daddy's guess is your due date the 6th of Sept. When ever you get here I'm excited to meet you!

Love Mommy


Anyone else have a guess as to when this bambino will make their appearance?

I may have found my mojo

I had fallen flat with Photography in the last little while, but my photo shoot a couple of weeks ago has inspired. Jen was so beautiful and enjoyable to shoot that I haven't put my camera away again. With batteries charged and the cutest Bambino's, out we went to play in the back yard.

Peek-A-Boo

Ethan with his back pack.
He's been carrying it on all our walks.
It's almost as big as he is!

Ava and Tim

Trying to get them both to look at the camera at the same time is impossible!
