31 Weeks...and Family Updates!

Sheesh the time is flying by! I can't believe I'm already 31 weeks into this pregnancy...it's astounding to say the least. But I'm grateful the time hasn't really dragged by and annoyed me...it will be exciting to meet this little guy soon.

At my last doctor's appointment everything was measuring perfectly, and I wasn't suffering from any complications whatsoever, a great relief to me I must say. Hudson is active and wiggly and keeps me up a great deal, but if he's healthy I won't complain...unless he sits in my ribcage (most uncomfortable I must say).  And I go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound and supposedly the non-stress tests will start that week too, though my doctor didn't mention anything this last week. We'll see then eh?

Also, this week Hannah has taken to potty training quite nicely. She seems really interested in going potty and doesn't like it if she has an accident. It's rather cute to see her react when she does have an accident. Hopefully we'll keep making progress in that area!

Besides that let me just say how adorable my daughter is. I know I talk about this pregnancy a lot and I tend to not mention the cuteness of my other two children. Let me just say that Hannah is such a sweetheart. She's so helpful and kind to her brother (most of the time anyway). She likes to be creative and dance and sing. She likes to say prayers with mommy which is so cute to watch. She's very talkative and loves to play games with her mommy. She is also obsessed with the Lord of the Rings trilogy right now (strangely) and loves to watch them all the time. She's a little princess and loves make-up and dressing up and having her necklaces on. She's my little princess and I love her dearly.

And as for Liam? Well he's growing like a weed! We bought the kids fuzzy pajamas and got Liam and 18 month size...well apparently he's decided to start growing more! While Hannah's fit her nicely, Liam's are already starting to get snug on him! I couldn't believe it. While they still fit him, I will have to go back and get him a bigger size! What a big boy I have! People comment all the time, whenever we go out, that my kids look like twins because they are so close in size. Poor Hannah is just a pipsqueak and Liam is my sturdy little linebacker...hehe...

And let me just say how much I love my little Liam. He's such an affectionate little boy. I love when he brings me his blanket and wants me to wrap him in it and cuddle with him. I love watching him try to dance and play with his sister. I love that he tries to help, even if it ends up with a giant mess for me to clean up. I love that he's trying to talk so much and be involved in everything. I love that he tries to stay neat and clean when he eats by wiping his mouth with a napkin. I love that he has four front teeth that he uses to gnaw into everything at the store (even if it is aggravating at times). And I certainly love the fact that he tries to take care of me when I have a bad day. He'll hug me and sing to me as I rock him. Ah, what would I do without him?

Really what would I do without my babies in my life? What would I do without their love and affection? They are such a treasure to me and I love spending time with them. I know that I have moments where I fall apart and get frustrated with them. But there are so many rich blessings that I've noticed that outweigh the anger and frustration. I am so grateful for my family :)
