Week 18: March 12 - 18 & Week 19: March 19 - 25, 2015

My Sweet Boy,

Well... it has already happened!  I skipped a week!  What a crazy week it was too!  Week 18 was your sister's birthday - SHE'S THREE!!! And a trip to OH for Work and then your sister's birthday party!  It was a crazy week, so I skipped my little note to you.  Here is a glimpse of our fun :-)

We took our 3 year pics as well over that week, and guess what, you are in the picture too!  Just in my tummy!  

In Week 19, we have tried to get back into a small routine.  Mollie started back to school, daddy is home, I'm trying to get back to working a normal schedule, and daddy and I went on a walk this  morning  - we need exercise!  That is where we took my Week 19 pics!  We are almost halfway there!

You weigh about 8 1/2 oz, are about 6 inches long and are about the size of an heirloom tomato.  I love how they compare babies to fruits and veggies, but hey... whatever works!

I love you to the moon and back... keep growing strong and kick me!  I like to feel you moving around in there ;-)  

Love - Mommy   

Week 17: March 5 - 11, 2015

Hey Buddy,

This week has been kind of crazy!  We got home from Texas and went straight to Uncle Abe, Aunt Val, and Jimmy's house in Columbia, TN - about an hour away.  We stayed with them for a couple of days and then headed to IL for my work.  Mollie has been a trooper, as we have been from Michigan to TN to Texas and back and then to IL!  She has been my perfect traveling buddy... so have you, of course!  However, she is pretty much over it.  I head to OH this week - good thing she gets to stay at home with Daddy!

Not much to report except we are ramping up our theatre in IL and I am spending a lot of time there.  I took my pictures this week outside the theatre next to signs for the upcoming show!

I am so excited to meet you and so happy you are growing.  We missed your first appointment with our "Expect with Me" group because we were in TX, so I am excited to meet everyone in that class next time... in April!  This week is your sister's 3rd birthday... she is a St. Patrick's Day Baby, so I am sure I will have lots of things to report next week!  

I love you so very much... keep growing!  I get to hold you in 23 weeks!

Love~ Mommy

Week 16: February 26 - March 4, 2015

My Sweet Boy,

This week we (your sister and I) took a trip to Texas to meet your new cousin, Henry.  The two of you will only be about 5 months apart, so it will be fun to watch you grow up together.  We had so much fun!  It was a full week of hanging out with your cousins, Olivia and Lily and loving on our new little bundle, Henry.

We took the girls to the Celtic Festival and to the Indoor Water Place... your sister almost lost her mind at the water park.  She is a little fish, and this long winter has smothered her.  We have a pool, so we will spend lots of time in the water.  Your sister has been taking self-rescue and swimming lessons for the last year, and is quite the little swimmer.  She is excited to teach you and to have you join her in class!

It was funny that two of the days we were there, Olivia and Lily's schools were canceled because of snow and ice, and two of the days were 75+ degrees.  You can see the difference below:

You are growing really fast!  You can see the difference pretty dramatically from week to week!

Keep growing my sweet Maxon Edward!  We can't wait to hold you in 24 weeks!

Love~ Mommy
