We had a very good week this last week, but definitely a busy one. As we await Mason’s arrival, we’re trying to get as much done as we can otherwise, so this week is going to be a bit more crammed with things to do and get done. But, let’s back up for a second—This last Saturday was Blake’s first flag football game and should’ve been Sydney’s first cheerleading performance at the Rocket Football game. We didn’t make it to Sydney’s game, but I’ll get to that in a second. Blake looked so small out there on the football field with his other teammates. Although a bit frustrating at times, Josh and I are so proud of Blake and how he played. He’s got a bit of work to do as he forgot a few things he was taught, but we both enjoyed watching him play.
(Blake has the ball)
From Blake’s game, we headed to Muskegon for the Booker/Bosma Baby Mason Shower. With good company and yummy food, it was a nice afternoon to celebrate Mason’s pending arrival. We were given a stroller/carseat combo which is awesome, so if Mason came today, we could at least bring him home! Our family also gave us lots of other great things as well- Thank you all! I did pretty well not getting all emotional until I read Ed’s card though—thanks Ed!
Thanks Joanna & Sue for the pictures :) This last one is of our tree that was given to us as a wedding gift from a friend of mine. We planted it at Ed & Sue's house so we can always enjoy it no matter where we live. (Assuming they still live there :) It's going to be a beautiful tree in the Fall when it gets a little bigger!
Let’s see- what else has happened since I last blogged? Well, in Sydney’s class the kids have an opportunity to run for Class President once a month. These Class Presidents help the teacher and their fellow classmates and are the all around ‘go to’ person for things. Sydney and I worked on her poster (with the help of photoshop and quick prints) and it looked so good! She didn’t ‘win’ this month, but I got teary eyed as she walked into school with her poster as she really is all of those things and more. She’s a great kid with a huge heart!
We also had our 32 week appointment with MaryAnne yesterday (Monday). We’re doing well- measuring 33cm for 32 weeks, and Mason is head down!! (Hopefully he’ll stay that way though…..) I am happy that I only gained 2.4 pounds in this past 3 weeks, which brings me up to 25 pounds so far for weight gain. I’m supposed to gain about a pound a week now, which puts me in the 25-35 recommended weight gain ballpark. From gaining 50 pounds with Sydney and Blake EACH, I’m very happy with this gain. MaryAnne guesses that Mason weighs about 5-5 1/2 pounds about now as well :)
Oh, quick update on the garage- AWESOME! We pulled everything out, scrubbed the floors, built some shelves plus bought a nice closed door shelf. It seems almost everything has a ‘home’ out there now with plenty of room to spare. I’m excited as I have not been able to park in the garage in a number of months. I’m glad it’s been nice out, but that nice weather is quickly leaving us. But whew, what a chore that garage was!! It was definitely a family effort- Josh and myself, Sydney and Blake, and my brother came over to help carry some of the bigger (aka really heavy) stuff downstairs into the basement. Thanks Donnie! So, I think that’s about it from what’s been going on with us.
Tonight is the Sibling Class for Sydney and Blake to prepare for Mason- should be fun! Until next time….
