Ready for Baby3!

We got 3D pics for the first time in a long time (there needs to be fluid in front of the face, you can see that part of the face is blocked by placenta). Hooray! Good day too, the whole crew was at the appointment - Jeremy, Mom, Connor and Katie.

Sticking tongue out!

Smile (a little cuter "real time" but you get the idea)

We had "growth" (meaning they measured to see how baby is growing, a little more of an in depth ultrasound) on Wednesday, and we think that we are ready for baby3 (or Putman5) and baby3 is ready for us! MAX of 2 more appointments, yippee!

Baby was 6 lbs even (well, as close as ultrasound can get with these things) on Wednesday. Pretty exciting for me as that was what I guessed (Jeremy guessed in the 5 lb range).

Today was an awesome day with the kids. We went to KidzBounce, a warehouse with huge inflatable toys, and Katie was really able to climb well (not nearly as much work to help her as the last time! Thanks, God!!)

The kids played together in the backyard for about 45 minutes, I saw them pushing their tricycles around, getting out the basketball hoop, and splashing in puddles.

Before I tutored, Connor asked Katie if she would like to have "play together" time with him (instead of play alone time). Katie said "yeah" so after she had some play alone time, they played in their room for about 35-40 minutes, totally quietly and cooperatively. After I was done tutoring, we had bathtime. I narrate constantly to my children (I'm sure they get tired of it at times!) and I was saying that we should clean up their room after bathtime. Well, by the end of bathtime (warm bathroom, very pregnant Mommy) I told them we were going to have chocolate milk after baths (too late for a real snack but a perfect sugar fix for Mommy). I rushed into the kitchen to make some (quick...calories... now!!) and wondered where the kids were. Lo and behold, they were in their room cleaning up the car racetrack. *sigh* such bliss! No, all our days are not like this... but surely to even have one... we must need another child or how will we ever be more sanctified or earn treasures in heaven? ;)
