The Ladybug

While talking on the phone today, I hear Addison yelling for me to come to her room. As I walk in, she tells me there is a ladybug under the cheese (her fake, felt food cheese). Sure enough, I turn over the cheese and there is a ladybug. She was absolutely mesmerized for a good while by it and even moved it (yes, it's dead now) to her little cupboard in the kitchen. Bugs are fascinating! She keeps asking me, at least once a day, where the grasshoppers are. We'll have to be sure to find some in the spring!

Week 32

Time is flying by! Pretty soon we'll have pictures of our new babe, who is yet to be named. :) Here's another shot of the belly. It's definitely growing! I found out at 28 weeks that I am anemic this time around (glad to have an explanation that something can actually be done about!) and am now taking an iron supplement. I have noticed a considerable difference and am glad to have a bit more energy now.

Addison has been talking about sharing her toys with the baby lately. Hopefully that will actually come true once the baby arrives! She also likes to poke my belly and say "the baby got me." Kisses on the belly are a must as well. Earlier today she talked for a few minutes about how she was going to rock the baby in the rocking chair. She is excited to be a big sister!

James is working hard to clean out the back room for the baby. I just completed the curtains and will post pics as soon as I hang them. I need to find a curtain rod that's hidden somewhere in Addie's stuffed closet. (That's another project that needs to be done before the baby comes.)
