29 Weeks

How far along? 29 weeks
Maternity clothes? All the time - except for when I steal some tshirts from Ben
Sleep: better, but I'm pretty tired all the time. 
Best moment this week: Confirming that I passed that pesky glucose test.  I really really really didn't want take it again!
Miss Anything? Nothing really
Movement: Baby is a mover and a shaker!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular this week.
Belly Button in or out? Pretty much out :(
Wedding rings on or off? On, when I remember to wear them
Happy or Moody most of the time: Hopefully happy ;)
Looking forward to:  Surviving the summer! It's great that we can get outside, but man it makes me tired.  The boys seem to have an infinite amount of energy these days.

28 Weeks

How far along? 28 weeks - welcome to the 3rd Trimester!!
Maternity clothes? All the time - except for a few things I can still fit in to :)
Sleep: better, but I'm pretty tired all the time. 
Best moment this week: We have just been trying to get back to normal after a long weekend of not really sleeping and having too much fun camping.  The boys need to catch up on some rest!
Miss Anything? Nothing really
Movement: Baby likes to move at night..... of course!
Food cravings: Nothing in particular this week.
Belly Button in or out? In (well mostly in!)
Wedding rings on or off? On, when I remember to wear them
Happy or Moody most of the time: Hopefully happy ;)
Looking forward to:  Father's Day weekend is almost here.  We will see what kind of crafts the boys can come up with.  When I asked Lucas what breakfast we should make daddy on Sunday he said "well how about brunch food.  You know something like pizza and fruit!" HAHAHA I am not really sure where he got that, but who knows, maybe that's what we will have ;)  Then Lucas starts swim lessons on Monday and I know he can't wait! 




Camping With The Hales

Last weekend we went camping at Lake Hope State Park, which is right next to Hocking Hills in Eastern Ohio.  This might not have been my smartest idea --- you know 2 kids under 4, sleeping in a tent, HOT summer, 7 months pregnant.  But we all survived and the boys had a blast!

Spent the day hiking at Hocking Hills
Can't really tell - but this is at Old Man's Cave.
Someone was Grandpa's hiking buddy.

Best group shot we could get :)
Hiking was a lot for these little cuties!
S'mores Day!

Helping daddy with the firewood!

Best part of the campsite....... LOTS of dirt!



Helping Grandma and Auntie K with the dishes.
Swimming at the Lake.

Saying "Hi Mommy"
Loved digging in the sand just like his brother!
Boys shot!
The most successful "cousins" shot at the beach! HAHAHA

Belly Button in or out? In but getting a lot closer to out.

My 3 Favorite Boys!

This weekend was all about family.  Ben and I split up this weekend and each took some one-on-one time with each of the boys.  It's always nice to really spend time with one of them and let them know how much we love them :)  Of course in the process they always end up getting a little extra spoiled, but hey, that's ok every once in a while, right?

Mommy and Lucas headed to the outlet malls because Lucas desperately needed some summertime shoes.  He picked out some green camo-ish crocs and picked a matching pair for his little bro.  While shopping we may have stopped for some soft pretzels!!! MMMMmmmmm.

Mommy took Adam to Sharon Woods for some fun in the sun on Saturday.  We went walking for a bit and then played a little.  Unfortunately, it was already so hot that most of the play gym area was too hot to play on :(  We had a good time anyway!
Daddy took Lucas fishing up at his friend's family pond.  Lucas loves fishing with daddy and made a catch!
They stopped for lunch on the way home and daddy treated him to a milkshake.  I would say he was pretty happy about it :)
Then Sunday, daddy took Adam hiking at Keehner park.  Boy do these kiddos LOVE throwing rocks in the creek!


<3 them!
At home on Sunday, we busted out the water table and sprinkler!

Sweet Summertime really is my favorite! Watching the boys find so much joy in the simplest things always makes me smile :)

26 Weeks

How far along? 26 weeks
Maternity clothes? oh yes.
Sleep: ehhh, it is kinda a foreign concept these days.
Best moment this week: Both sets of grandparents had the boys over for a sleep over while Ben was gone.  It was nice to get some "me" time as well as a good amount of organizing done!
Miss Anything? fitting into clothes a lot better.
Movement:yep! lots of moving around these days. 
Food cravings: soft pretzels! Lucas helped me make some this week.  They turned out pretty yummy.
Belly Button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On, when I remember to wear them
Happy or Moody most of the time: Hopefully happy ;)
Looking forward to:  Camping with the boys this weekend and hopefully getting to relax.


And apparently among the chaos I forgot to post week 25. Oopsie! 


Backyard Camping

After being gone in MN for a week you could only imagine how happy we were to have Ben back home.  We are going camping next weekend so Ben wanted to try out the new tent.  I would say the boys were pretty excited :)

Helping set up the tent

Roasting his first marshmallow with Mommy!

S'more time

I think they were a hit
Time for bed!
Daddy and the boys slept in the tent for the night.  Ben brought poor Adam in at about 5AM because it got pretty chilly.  He was going to bring Lucas in as well (since neither of our boys like to use blankets) but Lucas got upset and wanted to stay in the tent!
