One week left...?

My official due date is October 31st. So far I have no exciting news to share. As far ask I can tell, this baby is in no hurry to come out. He/She will most likely stay as long as possible, just like the rest of my kids. Isaac was 3 days late (he came because they induced me), Jacob and Adam were both 7 days late.

As of last week my belly was measuring 39 weeks when I was only 38 weeks along. That doesn't mean baby will come a week early. It probably means I'm going to have another big baby. :) My Midwife guessed that the baby was around 7 1/2 pounds last week. I'm just hoping to stay below 11pounds this time.
(Isaac 9lbs 14oz, Jacob 10lbs 4oz, Adam 10lbs12oz)

This is the list of my families guesses for this baby. What is your guess?

Grandpa Bob -Nov. 7th 10:30am Boy 10lbs 4oz
Grandma Patti -Oct 28th 9am Girl 10lbs 1oz
Jason- Nov. 6th 11:11am Girl 9lbs 9oz
Rachal- Nov. 5th 6am Girl 10lbs 5oz
Jessica- Nov 10th 7:30am Girl 9lbs 12oz
Jared- Nov. 5th 10:30am Girl 10lbs 12oz
Jamie- Nov. 4th 8am Girl 10lbs 15oz
Grandma Afton- Nov. 8th 3:30am Girl 9lbs 5oz
Emma- Girl
Isaac- Girl
Alysa- Girl

Halloween Baby?

So, we are having another baby! I'm pregnant! Baby is due October 31st. We are all very excited and everyone (even my little boys) are hoping for a girl.

We might have a chance, I've felt more sick and tired in the last 6 weeks than I ever remember being with any of the three boys.

No, we are not going to find out before the big day. Sorry, you will have to wait until this baby decides to arrive before knowing if we will be buying pink, or pulling out the well used boy clothes.

So today I'm about 9 1/2 weeks. No pictures yet. Although I'm "showing" a little, it just looks like I've gained some tummy weight. Maybe next month I will add pictures of the belly.

Oregon in November

Back in November we spent over a week in Oregon with Family.

It was another amazing trip. We all had so much fun catching up with Family and visiting lots of fun new places.

Joe and I took a little side trip without the kids. Only for a few hours, but it was nice to hike down to a beach and enjoy the sunset, Just Us!

We all went to the Beach together. This has become the favorite place to play when we visit Oregon. Somehow we always get amazing weather, even in the middle of winter.

We also made a trip to the Tillamook Cheese Factory and the Air Museum. Very cool!

During November and December the zoo decorates the zoo with millions of lights. Including their train that takes you around to see the light animals displayed. Zoo lights is well worth visiting. The kids loved the train ride! They asked to do it again, but settled for walking to see more lights and sharing an elephant ear with Daddy.

We spent over 4 hours at the Children's Museum. We had only planned on staying an hour or two, but this place was AMAZING! The kids had so much fun we just decided to stay until they ran out of things to do.

Water play, "Fred Meyer shopping center", clay building, trains and cars, Lego land, camping, building a house, veterinary clinic, dress up and stage for acting, Digging in the construction pit, climbing a tree house... the list of activities and play centers goes on and on.

We all had a great time. We only decided to leave after we were all starving and way past needing naps. But despite being hungry and tired there were no tears or complaining. They just played and played for hours.

I will admit the entry fee was expensive, but totally worth the money, as long as you have time to spend a few hours there. And we learned you can bring your own food inside. We will definitely pack a lunch for our next visit.

Another Day was spent visiting the Multnomah Falls. Beautiful!

Isaac's one request for this trip, was to "play at the park across the street" from Grandma and Grandpa's house. So much fun to play outside without layers of snow gear.

This is the sledding trip we did back in Anchorage, before our Thanksgiving Day vacation.

This is what our front drive looked like before the 100 inches of snow fall this winter. Now there are huge piles of snow on either side of the driveway.

Family Portraits 2011

A few weeks back we did another round of family pictures. They turned out great. The kids did pretty well. There were very few breakdowns this year. Here are a few of those pictures.

(There are better ones, I just don't have them on MY computer yet)
