33 weeks!

Here's the baby bump at 33 weeks and 1 day.  That means we only have about 7 more weeks to go!

We've also had quite a bit of snow the last two days. (Of course its nothing like what there having in the Northeast but its more then normal for us!)  From 4am-3pm yesterday we got 4 inches of snow and since then another inch has fallen and its still snowing.  I think in our area we have the least snow fall.  Another town that is about 30 miles away got 9inches in 24 hours.  That's a lot for us.  I took some fun snow pictures of the kids on my camera and I'll try to download them this weekend.  Until then, here's a picture of Zayah-man eating snow with blueberries and raspberries.  I think its a little cold! :)

A Skiff of Snow

We got about 1and 1/2 inches of snow this morning and the kids wanted to go play in it.  They lasted about 10 minutes as they decided to take their gloves off and eat the snow and that resulted in really cold fingers (it is about 22 degrees outside)! (Zayah was borrowing his sister's pink and purple mittens for the "outing".)  For now they are enjoying watching the snow from inside of the house next to the warm fireplace! :)

Nothing New to Report

Nope nothing has changed.  I'm still here as pregnant as ever.  So we continue in our normal daily routine and just wait for this little guy to make his appearance! 

Until then here are some pictures from our snow days last week!

Liesel's 1st time in the snow!

No Baby Yet!

I realize with a week of silence some may be beginning to wonder if maybe that was a nesting instinct that happened on Monday.  Well as of today nothing has happened.  The real reason for the silence is we lost power around 7:30am, Wednesday morning and got it back around 2pm yesterday.  That's about 55 hours with no power.

So what caused the power to go out well...it started with a surprise snow fall Tuesday night over a large area and from there I think they lost several transformers etc.  Fortunately my in-laws only lost power for a day so we spent most of the time down there. It really is amazing how much we take for granted with electricity.  We don't lose power all that often and this is the longest we've ever been out so we weren't completely prepared.  Of course the surprise snow didn't help matters.  It was just predicted to rain all night.  Instead we found 6+ inches of snow on the ground!  It sure was pretty.

As to baby, he seems to be doing fine.  When I went to my Doctor's appointment on Thursday I found out I am almost 4 cm dilated and the baby is really low.  The Dr. thought I'd probably have the baby that night but I'm still here and very much pregnant! :)  But with all that being said there is a very high likelihood that  little guy will make he's appearance before the 13th of April.  I'd be shocked if he didn't.  So now we really feel like we're in the waiting zone and everyone around here is on pins and needles.  I haven't had any contractions (or I should say nothing painful) so we just wait!

Snow

Yes, last night it started and its been snowing on and off since then.  School was canceled so we're home today enjoying the snow!

Let it Snow!

I received a call at 5:00am this morning letting me know school was canceled. JB was thrilled! I was too because I didn't have to drive on the snowy roads to take him to school!

This what it looked like last Thursday!

What a Surprise!

I got up this morning and this is the view I saw!

It's not much but its the first snow we've had all winter!

Two Days Later...

this was the sight that greeted my eyes!

My DH said it's not uncommon in March to have snow, rain, hail, wind, and sunshine all in the same day. That sure proved to be true today!

Hallmark Smilebox

I'll admit it, I'm hooked on Smilebox!!! I have found that it is much easier and quicker to send several pictures at a time using Smilebox. Plus at this point it's as scrapbooky and I get with my photos. If you've never tried it I recommend you give it a go. There are many different formats and music that one can choose from. You can pay for the service if you want pictures sent without any ads but I find it works just as well with the free version. Here's one of the Smileboxes I put together using some of the snow pictures I took back in December. Enjoy!!!

Is that Snow?!?!

Yes, we had snow in our yard today. My DH told me that isn't very typical but then again the weather has been different all this past year. The spring was late in coming and there hasn't been as much rain as normal for the fall and winter. (Believe me I'm not complaining at all!) This weeks weather has been much colder than this sunshine girl has been use to. On Monday it never got above 30 degrees and Tuesday it didn't get above 20 degrees. As long as I layered up it was no big deal. I didn't let it stop me from talking Callie out on a walk!

Here are a few more pictures of the yard with snow!

This a picture of our backyard.

This is the path leading up to our front door.

I wish I could say I was home to witness the snow falling but I was up with my DH at his job site hanging out with him as he cleared the roads of snow. We had plenty of beautiful snow to see. We took Callie along with us and she really enjoyed playing in the snow!!

Here is a picture of our drive up to my DH's job. Breathtaking isn't it!

Honestly I can't say I mind the snow except if I have to drive on it. :)
