2 Months Left


Here is the latest belly photo. As of yesterday we are two months until our due date, Dec. 20th. We are getting excited and nervous. There is so much to do and so many books to read! We started our birthing classes last week and are preparing for a natural birth using the hypnobirthing method. So we are practicing the relaxation and breathing techniques and hoping for a smooth and easy birth. (Ness even practiced in the middle of the night when she got a charlie horse)

Bridger spends most of his day lounging on the couch or the bed. We do manage to go for a daily walk and he keeps me company when napping or catching up on some reading.
He has a really rough life.

Paisley quickly discovered the baby's cradle that we are borrowing from a friend. She decided this was much more her style than the two cat beds we have unsuccessfully coaxed her

with. Although I thought it was cute, John was a little more practical in thinking that we should put an end to this habit now rather than waiting until the baby arrives and takes over. John has since cat proofed the cradle with crinkled up newspaper, much to Paisleys disappointment.

John finished laying pavers to extend the driveway for carport use this winter. It was a huge project and took several weeks. Needless to say, I was not much help- I managed to carry two 6x6" pavers at a time and occasionally delivered lemonade. Bending over is becoming quite the challenge these days!

You look great!!

Good luck with hypnobirthing. I unexpectedly delivered Jacob with no epidural. While it's not fun, it can be done and the recovery is MUCH easier!

Take care....
