3rd trimester

so time flys when your chasing a toddler and growing a squirmy gremlin! WOW I'm into my 3rd trimester already!!! I wish time would slow down a bit, I feel like I'm missing it being so pre-occupied with this little boy I call my hurricane.

Did I tell you all that I had a dream.....
yes one of those dreams where I had the baby, they were wiping the baby off on my belly and I yelped
"WHAT IS IT???"
one set of arms lifted the tiny babe and two other arms spread the legs and I giggled
"OH!!!! Girl parts!"

So we'll have to wait and see! Poor Grandma Eleanor in begging and pleading for a girl, she called very early on in the pregnancy and put her request in, as she did the first pregnancy
"I don't want to put any pressure on you Jewls, you know I'll love any baby that is a Holmes, but if you could... I'd LOVE a baby girl!" we'll have to see if Grandma gets her wish!
Anyone want to start a baby pool??? any Holmies out there?
So here is a belly update, 28 weeks and growing!

All our Love

and Cookie too!

Hairy interruption

So I'm having a lovely date with my some smooth chocolate ice-cream, the dreamy vocals of city and color in my soaker tub. Soaking up the peace until the water cools so I get out and start lotioning my body with some yummy cocoa butter when .... OMFG I have a hairy lower back!!! Yes that's right, soft fuzzy hair ON MY BACK!
Damn pregnancy hormones, I swear it wasn't there before

Cookie

I'm still surprised when I wake up and try to swiftly sit up and realize I'm smuggling a watermelon! I still have moments of grumpy confusion when I think that Ryan has shrunk my shirt, and then it hits me, I'm pregnant!

An outie at 26 weeks!

January fun

Gymnastics!!!

We have been going to gym and swim class at the YMCA and he LOVES it!

My latest love!

Mr Mischief

So maybe this picture will give you an idea as to what this little boy has been up to!

Not only does this boy like to climb, he likes to climb on, and in what ever he can. The chopping block, the cupboards, the dishwasher, throwing everything out and climbing right on in with a book and taking a few minutes to flip thru the pages of his favorite book. He has also decided that all doors have to be closed, including the cupboards dishwasher washing machine, dryer, and the pantry door, and ESPECIALLY when I'm in the pantry!

And he LOVES to dance! Not only do daddy and I think it's hysterical, I especially love it when Daddy starts dancing too! COMEDY! I love my boys
