Happy Mother's Day

Due to work and appointments, this week Finley spent a few afternoons with Grandma.  On Friday, she had all three boys to keep up with!

Grandma had Finley working on pedaling...he's getting it!

After all the playing...naptime!  I can't believe they actually slept!

On Saturday, Spencer came to our house to play...


...we took a hike...


...and the boys had lunch outside.


The Big Boy Bed...we made the switch nearly 6 weeks ago and we've yet to hold the bedroom door shut to a screaming child - yeah!  But, some days naptime is easier than others and I miss the confinement of the crib.  Yesterday I put Finley down and after a few minutes I heard him playing quietly, since he didn't come out I let it go - pick your battles right?  After nearly 90 minutes it was (finally!) quiet, so I went to peek and found him asleep in the hallway!  Today, he slept in his bed - alongside two soccer balls, two basketballs and a kite! 

We celebrated Mother's Day!  Finley made this adorable hand/foot flower at school - I love it!  Mommy - my love for you grows and grows and grows!

We went to Grandma's to give her a present...

...and then had a delicious brunch at Florian Gardens.

Baby Update...as I write, I'm 35 weeks + 3 days pregnant - the exact day I delivered Finley.  Starting tomorrow, I'll be the most pregnant I've ever been (and growing!).  I still feel OK, but I am starting to feel some (normal) discomforts - Baby is running out of room so sitting upright for longer stretches hurts, I'm not sleeping well, my feet are swollen by 4:00 - and from the looks of the pictures above, my face is "swelling" too! 

Once Thursday hits (36 weeks), I will be ready whenever Baby decides to come.  A little anxiety has settled in...Where will I be when labor starts?  Will my water break at school?  That could scar my students!  Will labor/delivery hurt?  Will it last (seemingly) forever?  I had such an easy, quick delivery with Finley, I figure this time has to be harder.  But I am definitely excited to learn if Baby will wear home purple or gray!

Leaving for the hospital...35 weeks + 2 days w/ Finley

35 weeks + 3 days w/ Baby

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms!  Our last picture as a family of 3?!?
