all in a 'days'

work

From this to that
play to baby

Started off November 22 with an afternoon outing to the Meijer Gardens to with Nana and Popa
Popa the reindeer 

LOVING the train





last picture with brother in the belly (but didnt know at the time)

a great afternoon


last dinner the three of us
started to think this may be real

got all sentimental putting little love to bed

and the feeling was correct
the contractions came
and by 2:17am November 23 we welcomed our sweet Rowan into the world! 

Praise the Lord for this healthy pregnancy and this healthy baby boy!

getting BIGGER

Baby Brother is growing and growing

Week 34
Size of a Cantaloupe 


Week 36
Size of Romaine Lettuce


Can not believe how close we are getting
each week seems to be flying by

Still waiting on switching rooms...which is causing me to 'stress' 
AKA PLEASE SHIP BED EARLY :) 

but other than that and few small things we are 'ready' :)

Facts:
1.  Still feeling pretty good/huge.  occasionally out of breath and feeling tired, but growing a baby is work right :) 
2.  Arie still asks when baby will be here.  Today I said getting closer, pretty soon buddy.  
and he said so in 9 minutes.  I wish it only took that long :) 
3.  Feeling the nesting cleaning mode in high gear

less than 4 weeks [hopefully] to go!

fall time

Leaves leaves leaves

enjoying watching the neighbors get their tree cut down 

park day

running through Popa and Nanas neighborhood

then it was time for some biking

the trees are just so pretty


enjoying the changing colors at our house too

even though it is getting chilly out
we can still enjoy the beautiful colors changing outside
