The latest obsession at our house. We spend HOURS making and
blowing up rockets and missiles and airplanes. And then making
them over again. And blowing them up again.

Finally
at 21 weeks, I've started to feel the baby move on a regular basis...last nite, s/he was VERY active...which makes this whole thing seem more real. Yikes.

"We're having a baby..."
So last week, Zach found out that he's going to be a big brother. We haven't intentionally not told him to this point...it just seemed pretty early to start talking about it, and maybe leading to months and months of "When will baby be here?" so we just never really brought it up.
Last week after our ultrasound appointment, I went to pick up Zach as usual. Steph asked how the ultrasound went and I replied, "Good, it was wiggling all over, moving a lot" and Zach, being ever perceptive and curious as he is, said, "What wiggle?"
So I looked at Steph and said, "The baby."
"What baby?" my so smart little one asked.
"The baby in mommy's tummy."
(Insert a totally incredulous look on Zach's face here, right before he breaks into a big grin, SURE that I am just messing with him.)
He runs over to me and attempts to look up my shirt to confirm the existence of this so-called baby in mommy's tummy. A little later, he tells me that "It's just food" in my tummy. But that doesn't stop him from attempting to look up or down my shirt at any opportunity.
Since then, I think he's beginning to come to terms with the idea, altho I'm not sure he totally believes it yet. In March, he'll believe it.

Expecting
Some of you know that we are expecting a baby in March (and now all of you know), and when I get my scanner configured for my new computer, I hope to put the ultrasound pictures here for your viewing pleasure. We elected NOT to find out the gender this time (our 20 week ultrasound and final opportunity to take a peek was last week), so we will be surprised on March 14 (our scheduled delivery date). It's a little different preparing for a baby when there's a three year-old running around (read: NO PREPARING) so here's hoping that in the next 130 days we can get the crib set up, the room cleaned out and some of our baby clothes out of the attic....
Sad little boy
We were preparing to start Zach in preschool this fall, but as
the start day drew closer, he grew more afraid and sad, and one
evening during dinner when we were talking about it,
he went and sat on this box by the door, looking truly heartbroken.
(Needless to say, we canceled preschool for this year)
Pictures! (can you believe it?)

Been a while....
since I updated this thing....
Turns out our amazing water park was a source of cryptosporidium (or crypto for short) that Zach got first and SO kindly shared with both Chris and I. We're finally about back to normal around here, but boy, it kicked our butts (literally and figuratively) for several days.
Also, we've continued to suffer technical difficulties in spades around here...been weeks and weeks since we've been able to upload pics from the camera - but we're hopeful to have that issue resolved this weekend. So check back. If you want. If you've lost patience, hey, I understand. But you can always check out the new countdown clock in the side margin.... :)

Water Park Fun
Not far from our house is the greatest public park on the planet(seriously)...the park is all ADA-accessible, includes a marvelous
playground, soccer fields, tennis courts and a FREE water park with
various fountains and squirters and dumpers.
Amazing fun on a hot day.
And doesn't cost a dime.
