Well, today is the start of week 34.Only 42 days left until my due date. I am hoping for sooner then that though.Any time after 3 weeks would be just fine with me.We had a fun morning with Robin,Ken and Miss Mhari. They got to see the new digs. We had some time to chat and catch up. We then went to Elmer's for a tasty brunch. It was great to see our new niece in person. And of course Robin and Ken too. Tommorrow she will be 9 weeks old. So happy 9 week birthday Mhari.Next sunday my Mom and Grandma a coming to stay the night. So I am looking forward to seeing them.I am anxious to show them our place.As well as I am curious to see how Sydney will react since she hasn't seen them since we moved almost a month ago.Have a great week everyone.

Tonight was Teriyaki again. And our soon to be big sister loves trying to copy her daddy with chopsticks. She seems to do fairly well considering she is using only one instead of 2. Sunday we are having breakfast with the Rhiversons. We are excited to meet our new niece in person.As well as show off the new digs. Had a check-up yesterday. All seemed well with Meghan. Offically 45 days left until the duedate. But I wouldn't mind if she was a week or 2 early. Only 3 and a half weeks left until she can be born full-term. Just heard that my cousin Jackie got engaged. So Congrats go out it her and David. As well as Congrats to Robin and Ken on anniversary #2.Bye for now.

Yesterday we went to the mall. We only saw a small portion of it, because it's hard for me to stand or walk very long right now. Here is Syd showing off her new shoes. As well as the dress sent to her from Grandma Sue. My appointment is this afternoon. So we shall see how it goes. I am a little anxious and nervous. Since it is a new clinic and all. I can't wait to hear how Meghan is doing. I will post more later.Bye all.

Nothing brings a smile to big sister's face then a new feefee. We got a couple new fleece blankets in the mail the other day from Grandma Sue(along with some other great things). Syd's blankets are her favorite thing. She lovingly calls them "feefees".So here is a great picture of her happiness. A new feefee, a cup of juice and some Blue's Clue's on the t.v.And life is all good. We are under the 2 month mark on the Meghan countdown. YEAH!I get more excited every day.

Relief and Happy Birthday Papa

Wednesday Syd and I went to the playground. She seemed to have more fun with the gravel then the toys. Big suprise huh?Well,today I actually found a clinic that will take me(state run of course) with our insurance still pending. So next wednesday we are off to see Dr. Liem. I don't know if it's a male or female doc. But at this point I don't care. I am starting to get a bit anxious, because I am 2 weeks overdue for a prenatal check-up.But at least I have been pregnant before,and know what I should or shouldn't be feeling. So far things seem okay.At least I haven't had any problems with this pregnancy to worry about.So I am looking forward to wednesday. Jason has been working like crazy. Only 1 day off last week. And none this week.He is suppose to have next thursday off,but we will believe it when it actually happens. Poor guy has been struggling with his bread making a bit more than he and his bosses expected I think.I still can't believe Syd will be 2 in a month. We drove around the city last night.Saw more of the area than we had. It was fun. I am looking forward to checking out downtown, as well as Portland.I am used to Monroe,a nice size of 15,000 people. Vancouver is 140,000. So it is still a big adjustment. So far I like it though. We continue to find new places to eat. Last night I wouldn't settle for anything less than some teriyaki. Ah pregnancy cravings.;-)And we found a great little place near here. It was yummy and not very pricey. So that made our day. Plus I love supporting small Mom and Pop operations.This place was rather busy as well. So that was nice. I guess that's it. Still working on the bedrooms.It's hard for me to do much when Jason isn't here, beacause our girl loves getting into everything she shouldn't be in. And since this is a apartment they won't let us use the normal screw in childlocks, so we are modifing them with 3M adhesive. But it takes a bit more effort to do.As well as energy, which I don't much of these days. Hope everyone who reads this is doing well. And Happy Birthday PAPA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 5 more weeks to go until Meghan can be born considered full term. In 6 weeks Syd turns 2! It's hard to believe. I can still remember being pregnant with her.Although it wouldn't be a bad thing if she waited to make her debut until after Syd's birthday.Things are getting better around here. We even have pictures on the walls. A major accomplishment.The tough thing is my lack of energy.But Jason seems to understand.And isn't giving me a hard time about my daily naps or being the last one up in the morning. Well laundry is calling my name. Peace be with all of you. Jess

The first bath in her own bathroom

Here she easy in one of her favorite places.I think she takes after her Papa and Auntie Robin because she loves her baths.You may notice the red mark on her nose. She was playing on the futon and hit the wooden armrest. But as always it didn't stop her for long. Things are going pretty well. We are looking forward to get more organized tomorrow. It's Jason's only day off this week.It's hard try to get things done around the house as well as takeing care of Syd. She is all over these days. And loves to get in trouble.I will be 32 weeks on Sunday. Which I think is the 8 month mark.I was suppose to go see the doc this week.But ended up here in Vancouver instead. I hope to get the insurance stuff straigten out this coming week and can get into see and find an ob/gyn.I can still feel her moving and all that so we are not to worried yet.I can always go to the ER if the need arose. I just but Syd to bed. So It's time for some me time now. Jason and I found a movie to watch On Demand. Love that. No more going to Blockbuster. Sweet. Alright. Good Night all.
