I was 32.4 weeks when these pictures were taken (yesterday) and I'm closing in on my goal of 37 weeks. I really hope I make it this time, so I can have my homebirth. 4 weeks seems so short in the larger span of things, but the last few weeks are really difficult because I'm anticipating the birth and so excited to meet the baby, everyday seems to drag on as I wait.

I feel huge, my appetite has increased and I'm just going with it since my midwives told me I need to eat more.  But I'm at the point where I can't bend over and breathing is difficult, I've already gained around 28 pounds, I just feel like a cow. Blah. But it's all worth it, I can't wait to meet this little guy.

Today we went to Seattle to pick up our fixed laptop, which is why I'm able to blog and post pictures again. We still don't have the internet at home and probably never will, but my once a week visits to Starbucks to get online are nice. Things are going well and I'm actually feeling pretty good. My pelvic bones are more sore, but still very tolerable so I am thankful for that. Audri and I have 3 more weeks of school until we are taking our baby break. We've completed 7 weeks of this year so far (2nd grade) and things are going very well. We've stayed on or ahead of task the entire time, so I'm very happy for that. I think we will both welcome the break when it comes though.

Carter has even been working on some things, like getting better at reading and learning how to write his name. See?

On Thursday I took the kiddos to the park to burn off some energy and have some fun, since the weather is quickly becoming very chilly! I'm not anticipating that we have many more nice days until winter is here in full force. Nathan LOVED the slide, and I got so many silly pictures of him.

Nice and calm before the slide...

Whhheeeeeeee......

This is what he would do when he got to the bottom if I didn't immediately put him right back up at the top...

He definitely keeps me hoppin'.

Well that's all the news I have time for! Hope everyone else is enjoying October.
