Update

Sometimes I feel like I should update on our family for the blog, but then I don't really know what to update on! But here is goes....


We have 3 weeks of classes left this semester, then finals. Then Christmas break for both of us. I'm due the week of Christmas! YAY! So I have about 5 1/2 weeks left till my due date. Sometimes I can't even believe it.


The baby looks good, at least he did at the last doctor's appt. My next appt is scheduled for Monday, then I start going every week. I always get asked if I'm going to get induced or if the baby will come early. No, I'm not going to get induced. And I'm usually on time with my due date. Ethan was born on my due date and Finn was born 4 hours after his due date. I guess I just deliver babies on time. We have a first and a middle name picked out now. I had an idea of announcing the name on our Christmas cards we send out at the beginning of December, but we'll see what we decide.


Ethan is growing up so much. He turns 4 in a couple months! He loves preschool and has a new best friend. He enjoys gymnastics and we're blessed to have a nanny who comes every afternoon and takes him to the park for 2 hours when the weather is nice. He is starting to read small words, which is both exciting to me since I love books and scary because that means he is on his way to being even more grown up!


Finn turned two at the beginning of the month. He is always trying to do what his brother does. He loves to brush his teeth and dance to music. He still cuddles with his teddy bear at night, which is super cute. He can point out some letters of the alphabet and sits during about 1/2 of story time at night, then goes and plays. I'm planning on starting him in gymnastics this spring which is when I started Ethan. He says Mom first every time he wakes up in the morning now which I love and Mark does not...I think Mark wishes he said daddy sometimes in the morning.


We are in the middle of Christmas shopping (which I never thought I'd start this early), finishing up grad school papers for both of us for this semester, and preparing for the baby to come next month. Mark starts intramural volleyball with his team this week and I am really enjoying the girls bible study group I'm in with some friends of mine. We had wanted to go to my grandma's house for part of Thanksgiving, but I'm not sure my doctor will clear me for travel then. Either way, we'll spend Thanksgiving day with either extended family if we go or immediate family if we don't. I feel like I could write a 3 page blog post about everything I'm grateful for right now, but I'll stop here! Enjoy your weekend!
