August Wrap-up

Open gym at gymnastics:
 
 


Spent the weekend at the cottage.  It was so relaxing with perfect, sunny weather!  
We checked out the local Art in the Park and Car show:

Watching Hannah in her gymnastics class this term

 



We had a neighborhood picnic.  It was hot, but well attended.  Lots of good food, fun face painting and balloon making for the kids, ice cream from our favorite Scoopy Doo's, and lots of good company.

Dinner back at our house with some of our neighbor friends and all the kiddos:


Potty training Attempt #3.  So far we have been the most successful this time!  Noah is doing great and we are getting close to eliminating one more child out of diapers!  


Our days with Owen are winding down.  
Here he is trying some table food and doing rather well.  He has come so far!!

Goodbye August and hello to September!  We are ready for some Spartan Football, fall weather, back to school, and a baby in a few short months!!

Baby LaMacchia #3 -- 28 Weeks!

Here is a look back at the past 8 weeks since my last Baby #3 post at 20 weeks.

It has been rather uneventful I must say, but in a good way.  We kept ourselves busy trips, playing, snuggles, and making many fun memories.

Baby has been doing well at both appointments, moving ALL THE TIME! But I feel good, am doing my best to get lots of sleep, and take it easy when I can.  I did have some repeat blood work drawn because my platelet count was low, but the re-draw came back looking normal.  The past few weeks I've been fighting off a nasty sinus infection, but hopefully with some antibiotics, rest, and relaxation, I can finally kick this for good!


24 Weeks:

-Baby is the size of a corn on the cob
-This baby is a moving machine!!  I swear that it won't stay still!  Both kids and John have felt the baby move numerous times.  They still think its pretty cool :)



 



28 Weeks:

-Baby is the size of an eggplant and over 2 lbs.  
-Baby is ACTIVE.  Had my Glucose test and passed.  I've been having some weird, borderline insane dreams.  And my heartburn is back with a vengeance, so hopefully meds will help combat that.


Kids are excited!
Hannah only wants a baby sister and Noah flips back and forth depending on the day!  But either way, they will both be pretty amazing siblings :)
