Cherish

Cherishing –

The past 34 weeks have gone by so fast. I can’t believe that in just a few short weeks we will welcome another miracle into our family. My eyes are a little teary as I write this. As much as I want to meet our little one I know this is likely the last time I will get to enjoy the miraculous and wonderful experience of carrying a child. It is an experience that is like no other and something I will miss dearly.

So I choose to cherish this gift God has given to me. I will cherish sitting and watching my belly move, feeling the kick of tiny feet, wondering ‘what body part is that?’, wondering about the gender of this little life, feeling hiccups, contractions, and all the other wonderful things about pregnancy. Even the tiredness, moodiness, emotions, swelling, weight gain, cravings, etc, I WILL cherish. It is a true gift and I feel so blessed!

34 Weeks - #3

32 Weeks - Baby #3

32 Week doctors appointment went well today. Had to take Payton & Charley with me. Payton got to be Dr. Gootje's helper. She thought it was really cool she was able to hold the heart rate monitor.
The belly is measuring at 33 weeks...only a week ahead this time instead of 2...this is a good thing.
Heart rate at 139. My children seem to have the same personality while in utero as they do outside...if this is true with Baby #3, he/she will always be keeping me on my toes. :)

All us prago girls in order of due date.

Outside Fun

It was such a nice day yesterday we were able to spend some time outside as a family. Daddy did the leaves while Payton, Charley, Chester & I played in the backyard. It was great to get the wiggles out and get some fresh air.Happy to be outsideDaddy's tractor = FunMe & My Buddy Chester

Happy Halloween 2011

Happy Halloween from an adorable Strawberry and a super cute Monster!
Payton decided a while ago that she wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake. However, when I found this cute & warm strawberry costume from Old Navy I thought I would give it a shot and she loved it. She still thought she was Strawberry Shortcake so it worked. Charley's costume I had seen online and right when I saw it knew he had to be a little monster.
We started out early this year because we had a few placed we needed to get to. First we went to Mimi & Grandpa's, then to Amma & Papa's, then to Grandma Jo's for some dinner & trick or treating with all the kids.
