30 weeks

As of today I am 30 weeks in to my pregnancy. It has really gone by fast, now I would like it to slow down. I am not ready to have 3 children. We have so much to do before our baby gets here and I am not moving very fast. I am enjoying watching my belly grow and feeling all of his kicks and hiccups.

Here are pictures of Jack and Molly playing a game that we call, "Charlie Spider." Basically they are spider tickling their baby brother. Taking these pictures while laying down and holding my camera above my head was rather difficult. I wish Jack was in the pictures, but my camera lens is very narrow.

Molly the Monkey

Please scroll down to the last picture, to begin this post.

Molly wants to do everything that Jack does. Rock climbing is scary for a mother, but I decided that I could continue to tell her "no" or I could show her how to climb the rock wall. Well, she figured it out after one try and continued to climb the wall 87 times.

Now, scroll up fast and you can see her monkey skills.

Poor Jack

Jack came home from school last week with fever and a bad attitude! Friday is the worst day of the week to get sick. It always happens to us. Jack always manages to need a doctor visit over the weekend. So, we went to a clinic and found out that he has a nasty infection in his throat. Pharyngitis to be exact. So, after four full days of 103 degree fever, he is finally feeling better. This is Jack telling me not to take a picture of his nasty throat. But, the nurse that I am, wants to have a picture of this.

Look closely at the white exudate at the back of his throat and notice the swelling. This actually looks better!

So, because of his sickness, Jack has been doing a lot of this. I love watching him sleep.

Two for Tea

Today at lunch, while Jack was at MDO, Molly and I went to a tea room. It was not a planned lunch, just a craving from a pregnant mommy. It was so special taking Molly to lunch at the tea room. I looked at her from across the table and was all smiles. The waitress asked me if Molly would drink her pink lemonade from a tea cup! I just looked at her and thought,"you must not have children." So, my response to her, "do you have a tea cup with a lid?" Molly had a great time at our big girl lunch. She acted as if she new that this lunch was different than our many lunches at Chick-fil-A and McDonald's. There is a chance that Molly could be my only daughter and that makes me so proud! I look forward to all of our girly lunches, shopping sprees, tea parties, pedicures, dance recitals, dress fittings, and many more mother/daughter activities.
