Possibly that last nice day of the year.

We did our Wednesday gym class then took the kids to the park today. Xander and Lily came down with a little sniffle and cough 4 or 5 days ago so we have been chilling at home while they got better, but today may have been the last nice day before the rain shows up so we decided to get out.

They did so great at the park, just climbing up the play structure and going down the slide over and over and over all by themselves. Wow we are almost at the point where we can take them to the park but pay zero attention and talk on the phone the whole time...just kidding.


I feel a wave of fatigue coming back on. I have been so tired yet afraid to sleep because of being woken up by the acid reflux...it is so gross. I think these last 10 weeks, or less, are going to be tough. I can't believe it's almost time though...we really need to get started on the baby room LOL.

Play-doh and a Doctors appt.

Jason and I got to see baby boy at my 29 week appt. today. Everything went well and Jericho is doing great, though he wouldn't get his hands out of his face the whole time. He is measuring 1 week ahead at 30 weeks + a couple days, and weighed 3 lbs 4 oz. He is going to seem so big at birth, Lily was 3 lbs 7 oz at birth at 31 weeks 2 days, and he is still 2 weeks away from that gestational age. He is already head down though I guess that could change and his HB was 142. I seem to be sticking to gaining 1 lb a week now, which is normal, and so far am up 23 lbs total. I sucked it up and got my flu shot today, the MFM and the nurse really thought it was a good idea. Next appt is in 2 weeks, but I don't think I will get another US at that one.

Jericho grabbing his face.

My 29 week belly pics. I look like poo poo, I was up every hour on the hour last night with acid reflux. No more before bed eating for me....even with my Prevacaid.

The trio had a fun couple of hours with Grandma and we came home to them napping...that's always a nice change. When I woke them up we busted out a really great play-doh set that they got for their birthday. They had fun but I don't think they are really at the point of doing many creative things with it quite yet.

Xander really wanted to hoard all the stuff...such a boy...so we had to keep everything out of his reach :)

They all had to try eating it but thankfully they gave up on that right away.

The girls were doing well with sharing. They are so cute, when one gives the other something the receiver says 'thank you sister' :)

It had been I don't even know how long since I played with play-doh LOL.

Happy kids!

Wow that went better than expected.

We had a nice sunny day today and since we have not made it to the Zoo this whole summer we decided to go. We had Grandma to help us out so we decided to leave the choo choo and attempt to walk it. The trio amazed us, for 3 hours we walked the zoo together holding hands, we were so proud of them. The kids are really aware of all the animals now, they called out all their names and made animal calls for many of them. We did have a hiccup in the days events, turns out Jason accidentally left the keys in the ignition so the lights stayed on on the van during our 3 hour zoo trip...needless to say the battery was toast when we came out. Luckily the zoo was very busy today and it took Jason just a couple of min. to find a jump, there were a bunch of Comcast trucks there and three very nice guys had cables and gave us a jump.

Some not so great news, seems that the kids are coming down with a little cold or something...again. Not going on semi lockdown this cold/flu/RSV season plus going to a kiddie germ factory once a week I think this is going to make this a long fall/winter of runny noses and coughing.

Hayden and Lily were really into everything, Xander was not as gung ho about everything (I think it was a lot to do with him not feeling well) and actually seemed a little scared of the bigger animals.

He wanted a shoulder ride or to hold hands really tight by all the big animals.

Hayden was making everyone laugh doing her elephant impressions.

We gotta get these kids some chickens...they love them so much LOL.

Xan and Lily holding hands too.

A little horsey ride.

The little Miner's Cat is looking back at them.

We stopped and had a little lunch.

Checking out the beaver.

Through the log tunnel.

Funny animal pic of the day, this Gazelle was standing up to eat off the tree.

Bear hugs.

Playing in the car while Daddy finds jumper cables.

Another funny thanks to Mickey Mouse!*

Who ever says TV is all bad must have never had their kids reenact the funniest things from their fave cartoons LOL Here is a short bathtime video of the girls doing the Donald Duck dance :)

Again...vid may look black but does play...grr blogger.

Tonight was class night at The Little Gym...another hit, but not many pics.

My sister got some fun pics during their trip out here...here are some moments that she captured!

Xan, Hayden, Lily and Rowan all looking for the cats.

A couple pics from the wedding.

Jason and Rowan.

Our last meal all together before they went home, that's a lot of high chairs LOL.

We miss you guys already!

My sister, niece and brother in law went back home to Vegas today. We all miss them already, I really wish they would move here LOL. We did get to spend a couple hours with all the kids, including little cousin Hailey, Aunties and Uncles having a great time at OMSI this morning. They all had so much fun, and thankfully we had 6 adults to 5 kids so everyone could take a charge :)

Always so much fun at OMSI!

Uncle Scott and the kids checking out the Dino.

A little high tech fun.

In the science lab, the boy behind the table didn't want to share and was taking all the toys.

Hayden picked up the box and I swear was about to throw it at him LOL....she is such a brute.

Everyone enjoyed looking at the critters.

They had a little corn snake out, Xander and Hayden refused to touch it...even though Momma did.

Uncle Scott, lily and Hailey went to check it out.

After a few seconds working up the nerve, both Lily and Hailey touched it.

Water time...

Lily, Xan, Hayden and Hailey having fun in the water...Miss Rowan was not getting wet today.

Playing in the kitchen/grocery area...still soaked from the water.

In baby baking news I hit 28 weeks today! We bought our first baby item, Mr. Jericho has a new car seat coming in the mail!
